Home Grown Show III - Results!

It began as a routine visit where Ty came down to stay with Evie for a bit, and enjoy each other’s company before he went back home to Oregon. He was already thinking it was getting harder to leave each time. They weren’t that far. Ty grew up in California. His parents still lived there. He only moved to Oregon for the opportunity to ride but all the people that he used to associate with had already moved on with their lives too. Sure, he had made friends among RidgeRunner such as Taysom, and competitors he looked up to like Dave. But Evie…
The whole incident took place days before he was supposed to pack up and go back to Oregon. Ty was doing what Ty does best - goofing around. As a surfer, he had interests in other sports like snowboarding and skateboarding too. And it was in his nature to kind of push the envelope. Who just wanted to stand on a board and slide around? Naaaaahhhh, he wanted to hit the jumps and tricks! And in a Ty fashion, disregarded the physical harm. It just came with the territory!
But one fall was one too many. What started as a “oh, I’m gonna try that jump over that set of stairs” turned into a gross audible snap during a tumble and crash. Ty knew his arm was broken before he even sat up. He knew that feeling all too well. Wasn’t his first broken bone and probably wouldn’t be his last. He winced, holding his arm close to his body. The pain was bearable if he didn’t move it but he felt worse for Evie because he was going to have to waddle her way and explain just exactly why they needed to go to the ER. “Heeeey, Eebs. No big deal, but uh, when you get a break, uh, I could use a ride to the hospital- don’t freak out!-”

But the glimmering delight from the whole ordeal was well…if he couldn’t ride because of a broken arm theeeen he really didn’t have a good reason to go home! He got to stay! At first, he promised to cut out the crazy acts with anything on wheels or a board. But even limited video games he could play was getting boring. The cast could come off any day!
As Ty does, he pushed the envelope.

A beautiful day! The weather was crisp but the cloud cover kept the temperature bearable. Ty invited Evie on a walk with him to look at all the snow glittering in the sunset. He walked beside her with a smile. He lowered his good hand and plopped it in the pocket of Evie’s hoodie (which was actually Ty’s hoodie) to find one of her hands. “I have a surprise for yoooou,” he teased the idea. “Wanna guess what it is?” He asked, cupping her icicle fingers to warm them.
“Mmmm, If you try to do an Ollie off the steps of the office again I might kick your backside, Raymore.” She responded but in a teasing manner as she intertwined their fingers and smiled when she felt him shiver from the coldness going back up his good arm, “What’s the surprise? It better not result in you injured on my doorstep again, I’m pretty sure you gave Sophie a heart attack when your arm wasn’t pointed the right way.” She not so sneakily scooted her way over so their arms touched. “Let me guess…is it…a snowman? Arrrre you gonna start another snowball war you know you can’t win?” The redhead grinned at her partner in crime. “What are you up too?”
"Whadya meeeeaaan??" he had to ask, totally in his own favor he could at least stand a chance in a snowball fight one-handed! "Bruh, if I wasn't curing your frostbite right now," he explained, squeezing her hand, "You'd see!" He laughed. "Naaahh, I promised no wheels and boards 'til the cast comes off. Buuuut," he dragged on as they came upon the freshly cleared arena. Towards the front awaited a familiar face! Bobby perked up ears as they came into view; he was tacked and ready to go! The other set of ears, much further down the rail didn't rise much further. Risky picked her head up to see them but flattened her ears again as Bobby moved. She just wanted to make sure her opinion was known, even a good forty feet away.
"Madam Eebie Eeberson Eebalyn the Third," Ty walked them to Bobby, stopping outside the low wooden railing of the arena. He tipped his head over to rest his cheek on the top of her head, "Would you ride with me for Christmas? Look," he gestured to the jumps in the arena with the arm in a cast. "We can jump together. And I'll only do the lil' baby jumps," he chuckled.
All of the jumps seemed to have a high bar and next to it, a much lower bar. No telling how long Ty had been setting it all up in his spare time while Evie was busy and he found something to do with himself. It was clear, he was so ready to get back in the saddle. But he wasn't going to go flying around and stressing out someone he cared about either.
Evie’s eyebrows went up along with the horses ears when she noticed the freshly cleaned arena, “Hey! Bobby and Risky are here- hang on, How did you do all that with one hand-” the questions came flooding in, like when did he have time, did he have help, how did he set all the jumps up with one working arm and not rage quit like he sometimes did during his video game marathons, needless to say she was very impressed.
"Pretty pleeeeaaassee?" he asked, wrapping her in an obnoxious hug that buried her into his chest.
“Are you sure you can jump with your-” she was cut off by the glomp. “I dunno-are you sure?” she managed to free her face from the fabric of the other hoodie to stare up at her boyfriend with a look that said ‘if you get hurt again I’ll kill you myself’. “If you can promise me you won’t hurt yourself worse, because you’re nearly already healed. I, Eebie Eeberson Eebalyn, will agree to ride with you, Sir Raymore-should I call you knight of the Nachos?”
"Chyeeeaahh," he laughed stupidly, kind of dumbstruck in the moment. Evie had a way of making him feel special. The kind of special that made his brain leak out of his ears even if for just a moment. "Nooo worries, bruh," he assured her, smooshing her face back to him for another hug. Noteworthy to mention, he didn't exactly make the promise. But he was fairly sure nothing bad would happen. Just some lil' tiny jumps? No problem! Probably!
Granted, no one asked Risky if she wanted to jump alongside the other horse. She was Grumpy Gills from start to finish. He ears remained flat, repulsed to share her space when there was a whole arena they could have stayed away from her. Risky hopped over the little jump, not putting in any kind of extra effort, just as Ty figured. She wasn't about making things harder than they were. Granted, she just kind of heaved her body over without a lot of grace. Ty kept the reins in one hand and braced on her neck when they landed. He looked over to see Evie and Bobby fly over the jump beside him. "Looking flyyyy!" he called to her with a bright smile. She was so pretty in the sunset tones reflecting off all the snow around them. The light shining through her red hair looked like fire. So rad. She was so, so rad.
On the other hand Bobby was all too ready to give it his all, a little pop over this jump then a majestic soar over another he was hopping without a care, after they landed one Evie had to do a 360 turn with the thoroughbred since he decided he wanted to try to lick Risky right in the eye- that was a no-no as she was gonna be all the more ready to pop him in the jaw with a hoof or two.
"You-oop!" He had to check Risky again who was tucking her rear, thinking of throwing some hooves at the horse landing beside her. He laughed instead. It was too awesome to be back in the saddle again and with Evie right there with him (to keep an eye on him). Bobby spun around like a true reining horse! He had no idea why his rider added that fancy move after their jump but it seemed cool! He just followed the reins.
Said rider shook her head and followed her boyfriend once again. "Thanks, how's your arm?" If Evie was anything, it was caring especially about her best friend, partner in crime- you name it. She'd loved having him over. Even if he was an injured soldier, he still managed to make her laugh and goof around in a cast, she'd begun getting used to him just… being there.
"You know Mr. Nacho Knight, you really worried me with that arm of yours, I probably sound like a broken record but I just wanted you to be safe." Evie grinned, "Because I love you, of course ~" Evie's dad hated him before he even knew Ty, her mother had her concerns, her brother and friend also did: 'You're richer than him' they'd say. 'He's just gonna use your money'. But Evie already knew Ty didn't care. He never asked for a cent from her, even when she offered him a better apartment he would smile and tell her to go buy herself a 'rad-lookin' horse instead- that he was fine here, no biggie.
"You know you are the best boyfriend in the world right?" She asked and managed to swipe a drive by kiss before nudging Bobby to run for his life, or else his precious hams be subject to Risky torture! "I LOVE YOU, RAYMORE~ LET'S JUMP AGAIN!!"
He could just burst! "Aaahhhhh! You've unleashed my super powers!!" He called after her. "Let me loooove yoooou!!" (Although, it took a lot of convincing to get Risky to go for another round without snapping teeth...)

tldr;
Ty broke his arm a while ago
He's been hanging with Evie in the meantime
He begged her to let him ride with her
They are wholesome
<3

Merry Christmas and happy holidays! Have a wonderful season of cheer and glee~
have some heckin' wholesome

I wanted to do something cute for the wholesome kids <3 Ty hasn't been seen or heard from for a long time <''3 Other than in passing stories with Evie, he's been pretty MIA this year. Doesn't mean he's not loved and adored <3
So where has he been? WELL, -cough-
He broke his arm and that put him out of riding for a bit. Yep, that's what I'm going with~ (life a side character)
He'll be all good~ He's been hanging with Evie and doesn't have a complaint in the world for it!

This art style? I don't even know. I never got a solid idea of what I wanted to do lol Realistic? Chibi? Stylized? I couldn't get going so I just started scribbling a bit and this weird swirly art started happening. I just went with it I don't know what this is. It's a thing. The colors are pretty, let's move on~

Naww, these cutie pies and their cutie art. It kinda feels like one of those paper cut-out twirly crafts, if you know what I mean, where they layer up the different paper to make depth kinda thing.
