Now that we finally had some time to roleplay these two for a little while I could make some story art for them, finally So this is actually Kaira's job and I am glad I finally get to show her like this now ! :3 also, why is she wearing sunglasses in winter ? .. No make-up XD That's why.. Rp details.. Can't help but add them. ( because I loveeee details )

You don't have to read if you don't want to but this is just a small part from the rp between Zoubstance and me ( I know my writing sucks next to hers XD I am very sorry..I have never been a very talented writer.. but at least half the story is good :'D -crawls away - Also no spelling check so sorry if there are any mistakes. )

I couldn't really find a fitting start to copy, so to make it a bit more clear : Kaira's students are star-struck by Connor and she mentioned that she gave them some info that might be the cause if this x)

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

,,Famous guest?" he raised an eyebrow. ,,What did you tell them?"
That suddenly explained a lot more... perhaps he should have known that Kaira would have shared some details with her young students, but it still flattered him immensely that she would have. He tried to contain the dumb grin that threatened to spread across his face; with only mediocre success...
He diverted the gaze to the ring instead; watching the kids as they rode around in the arena. He nodded approvingly.
,,They have a great teacher, I see. That hardly surprises anyone, heh."

" Just that a certain famous Danish dressagerider would be here today." She sent him an innocent little smile before jumping down the fence to walk to the middle of the arena. Enough sitting, it was pretty cold and she wanted to move. She turned her attention to the girl again and asked them what they wanted to do. And the answer, of course: side pass. Like most beginning dressage riders would want to learn. Fine by her, simple enough.
Of course she didn't want Connor to feel left out and signed to him to come and join her, she was sure the kids would enjoy the extra pair of "expert" eyes. And again, try their best. " Oke dames, afwenden bij A.. Dan gaan we wijken voor het rechterbeen. " She said loud and clear for everyone to hear as she took her position to watch them.

,,Oh? Truly? When will he be here?"
He grinned mischievously, hoping she could appreciate his irony. And maybe he was also trying to hide how flattered he actually was. His riding was so incredibly personal to him, so whenever someone complimented his riding it got to him. And he had to admit it was a very nice change from Steinadler's eagle eye that always scouted to pick out flaws.
Kaira removed herself from the fence and went to the center of the ring... then she beckoned him in as well. He followed, curiously.
,,What's going on?" he her asked under a whisper when they were at the center.

" I hope soon ~ Simon said he would come. " She returned the grin, cheeky man. But she loved that about him and honestly, she would say the same thing if she were in his place. But she couldn't resist return his sass.
He seemed to have understood what she was trying to say and joined her, wonderful. Now she had something to lean on. And the kids would be happy that he was watching. " What's going on ? Side pass. That's what going on. Or whatever it's called in english.. I have no idea. " Honestly, she knew a lot about dressage..But only the dutch words and whatnot. But she hoped that what the kids were doing right now made it clear what was happening. " They really like it if you watch them, I can just see them try harder. It's so cute.. So will you please be my wonderful assistant here and judge what they are doing with me ?" As planned, she leaned slightly against him and kept her eyes on the kids who were trying their best to make the horses move sidewards, of course most horses having the sloppy lazy butt going on. And she made sure to mention that to the girls riding them.

He was not prepared for that cheeky remark, and it made him sputter out a snort that he quickly tried to suppress... didn't want to appear uncivilized, after all. But he dealt her a nudge and a tsk.
,,Oh my heart," he said theatrically. ,,My poor heart." Of course he was joking.
,,Mhmm, I guessed right," he nodded. ,,You know what we call that? That's a 'schenkelvigning' - leg yield."
Ahh, schenkel... his favourite word.
,,Trying harder? I'm honoured - although I'm sure it's just because they have a great teacher who motivates them." He was quite positive this was true. Kaira seemed to have such a gift teaching these kids; they way they paid attention to their trainer was remarkable. And of course they should - Kaira was over them like a hawk to point out the lazy, trailing haunches of some horses. Speaking of haunches.. he should really stop stealing glances at Kaira in riding pants. Come on, man, focus.

That nudge made her grin even wider, good..But luckily it didn't "offend" him too much..Dramaking. "Hey! you asked for it..Kinda" she said while chuckling as she nudged him back. She listened carefully to what he had to say...Schenkelwatta? German ? Sounded like german..Ugh..German. Leg yielding. Much better. " Agg sooo..Super geil. " She grinned, recieving some mad looks from the parents who probably thought she was meaning it in the Dutch way. Whoops.
He always knew how to flatter her..Those words about the kids meant a lot to her, although she was sure that today was 100% his pressence here that made them ride like this. "Right. But that teacher sees them every week and she can tell this is different." She gave him a wink, not really realizing that she was wearing sunglasses anymore. But truly they were showing off for him only. Which, in her opinion. Wasn't really working for the " Schenkelshite". " Can you stand here and just make an approving or disapproving face as they do it, I should help some.." She had to walk up to pretty much every horse and kid to show them what they were doing wrong, but that was to be expected. They hadn't really done it that much before. But hopefully this would help them. And hopefully they would not go straight instead of sideways and hit her boyfriend.

,,Did I really? I don't remember asking." he was still smirking about it. Oh, Kaira could throw the sassiest comments when you least expected it.. he rather loved it when she did so. It reminded him what a cheeky person she could be - in a good way, of course. It was both endearing and entertaining in his opinion.
,,Danish, actually - but 'Schenkelweichen' is pretty close too, now that you mention it."
He could have sworn she wrinkled her cute nose eeever the slightest as she spoke the words. Heh. Utterly adorable.
,,Oh hardly; I still think you're a great teacher. Even if you think they're still showing off." He stepped forward a bit. ,,Sure. I'll make sure they have to yield or they'll run me down. What do I get if one of your students hit me?" He sent her a cheeky smile.

"Danish ? Ahhh close enough.." Whoops, why the long words. She wouldn't want to be the one reading their dressage test out loud. That would probably be very long and difficult. It made her laugh to see him step forward, know the kids would HAVE to do it correctly now otherwise her boyfriend would be run over. And they got that as well, thank the lord.
" You will get a kiss on your boo-boo if that happens, but it won't " She returned the cheeky little smile, gnnnn at moments like this she just wanted to jump right on him, but better not. " Oke, wie Connor raakt moet op appeltaart trakteren. Dus zorg ervoor dat je het goed doet ! " She made clear to the girls, the ever so old applepie punishment. But it always seemed to work.
They continued with this exercise for another 15 minutes, switching sides inbetween to make sure the other way was done as well, since all horses prefer anohter side. And when they were done with the excercise and cooling the horses down they all lined up on the A-C line to dismount. Ready to head for the stables to get themselves a hot chocolate. Kaira included, you always stayed so much warmer while riding than teaching. She was sure her hands were about to shatter. But before following them to the stables she made sure to thank Connor for the assist with a kiss. " Thank you for helping out, you were a lovely assistent. "

,,Close indeed." He couldn't really blame her for mixing those languages up; they were similar in many ways.
,,Boo-boo kisses and apple pie? You know, now you're just tempting me to get in the way of your students." he joked. Boo-boo kisses from her could probably cure any ailment of his... right? But still, better avoid an accident. He would leap out of the way if anything came to pass, although he was sure the kids had the hang of this. The kids might not understand English, but some could be communicated in sign language too. He made the occasional gesture to indicate LEG or OUTSIDE REIN if the half-passes were crooked but left the tutoring to Kaira - they were her students, and he wasn't going to interfere or play the smartass here.
When everyone dismounted at the end of the lesson he went to Kaira again - gladly accepting the kiss she gave him and he happily bumped his head to hers.
,,My pleasure," he relayed. ,,You are a lovely trainer."
He noticed her hands shivering and he picked them up to heat them between his own... not much help, really, but it was the thought that counted, right?

The way he was helping her with the kids was just so lovely, not that she couldn't handle it on her own. Of course she had been for years. But it was just great to see him interact with them. She likes kids, she likes him.. Seeing it together, it just made her feel warm on the inside. And she was pretty sure she couldn't look more proud than she just did.
" Thank you..I try hehe " A lovely trainer ? Wow.. Well..She certainly tries. And that coming from him, that must be pretty accurate right ? He would know. But it really meant a lot to her to hear it. And she also reaaaally appreciated the attempt of warming up her hands, it did help quite a lot. May it be his hands or the blush on her face that warmed her up, she couldn't tell. But it helped.
