Each stable differs from the other, so choose wisely and never forget, loyalty is everything... Meanwhile as the stables battle it out, there's trouble brewing at the university. Be careful, if you don't pick a side you may get caught in the cross-fire...

Emelia was impressed that she had made it downtown without any issues. Driving was always a hard task to think about, mainly because she had to be so super aware. If anything, she had always gone into town while running errands with someone who had all senses. But today was different. She and Kasey had decided to treat themselves to some time to shop for loved ones before the massive crowds came through.
She had texted him that she would meet him in front of Sweet Magnolia’s. They had chatted about eating there first but opted that eating before shopping would make them a bit more sluggish, mainly from the heavy foods. But since the restaurant was a decent middle point for the two in the sense of downtown, it was a good spot.
Em found a bench to sit on and began scrolling through her phone – looking at the list of everything she had to purchase. She also had to think of a way to present Kasey’s gift to him, as well.
Kasey Caufield was getting ready to leave his house, making sure his dog had enough water to last for a few hours as well as turn on the radio for some white noise. The senior Belgian Malinois followed him to the door, "Not today, boy. But I'll give Emelia your hello," he said now, crouching down to give a good pet goodbye before heading out the door. He was greeted with a chilly air, his breath puffing out in small clouds as he made his way to the truck. Getting in, he ignited the engine and drove towards downtown to meet up with his girlfriend, Emelia Bordeaux. It felt weird calling her that. Girlfriend. Perhaps partner was better. Kasey felt too old to be saying that he had a girlfriend and, quite frankly, still appeared to be a touchy subject with his kids. What did he know about her? Well, he knew enough, and the man was fine with that.
Parking downtown on High street, he got out of the truck now and locked it. Pulling out his phone, cerulean eyes clocked the preview message from Emelia, informing him that she was already waiting for him by Sweet Magnolia's. With that, Kasey made his way towards the local café now. His brain wandered, uncertain of what he would be shopping for as far as the kids went. They were both at the age now where they probably preferred money over gifts to open, even if it was the thought that counts. He wasn't even sure on what to give Emelia, other than time spent in the bedroom. A sigh escaped him, relationships were so hard when it came to this stuff. But he pushed the angst over material goods out of his head for now. Today would be a day spent with Emelia, and to Kasey, that was what was most important.
Cerulean eyes spotted her now, sitting on the very mention she had mentioned. She looked beautiful as ever, even while dressed in something as simple as plaid and blue jeans, locked into her phone. Kasey had to make sure to not startled her. He approached now, and stop short of her, casting a shadow over her before signing hello with his hands, hoping to catch her attention now. A gentle smile resting on his face, 'Hope you weren't waiting for me long,' he signed now, 'Where would you like to start?' Laid back as always, although he knew as soon as she rose, Kasey would happily greet her with a kiss.

Emelia looked up when. Then sun's path was broken. A smile crossed her lips as she stood up. “Not long at all!” She wrapped her arms around him, giving him a small kiss. It was a bit more shy in nature, as her affections with Kasey were stronger in private. Emelia wasn't against PDA, but she still felt like a school girl with her first relationship. Plus, she liked having certain things just for the two of them. Letting people guess or talk about.
She released him. “Let's start with some coffee and then maybe the leather store?” The store didn't carry a lot that Em would use herself, but the sheaths and other small goods would be great gifts for her staff. As a thank you for all their hard work.
Kasey could feel a warmth inside of him when his partner smiled up at him, and it only grew when she wrapped her arms around him to the best of her ability and gave him a small kiss. It was shy, but the man didn't mind that. It fit her, and Kasey knew that the public was different from behind closed doors for affection. He returned it for as long as she allowed before pulling back, the kiss still resting on his lips. A soft smile remained on his features, allowing Emelia to break her hold on him as she stepped back.
"I'm good with both," Kasey replied now, allowing her to take the lead as he walked along side her, "I'm impressed you can find gifts. I've settled for cash gifts for so long now for my kids, I don't know how to shop." It was a joke, but there was also some truth to it. It had been a long time since he had to buy something real for someone. Both Rex and Tally got a 100£ each and Heidi got a six pack. That was it. The only person who really knew how to shop for was Dog. Maybe that would change today, he just had to keep an eye on Emelia to what lit up her eyes but she turned away from, "Is the leather for your staff?"
