This Marvelous Creature

"6th place in this years Olympics, Sara Julin with RD's Contradictio in Adjecto..!"
Sara looked up to the screen to make sure her ears hadn't deceived her and thrown her a fit or something but no... there it was, their names on the 6th place position.
Sara looked around towards the gathering of people around what she would guess was Contra, with easy steps and with Cage steadily in her arms (who cried happily as if he understood what his mom just had achieved) she walked back to the gathering of Rosendal staff and everyone hugged Sara in a line.
Sara hugged Kei tightly and whispered in her ear.
"You did a marvelous work. Im so proud over you." she smiled.
Kei smiled back. She and Lockhart had ended up way back in the middle somewhere and the little black haired girl was a bit disappointed. "Thank you." she said quietly as she held Lockhart's reins in one hand and the other hand was placed over his nose. Sara patted and hugged Lockhart.

She then hugged Shiro who stood next to Kei and comforted her. She even received a hug from Emma, though it was short and awkward.
"Where is Koda?" asked William when Sara was about to hug her husband.
"Haha, he is surely with RPS right now and his father. They have allot to celebrate, so I don't blame him for wanting to be there."
William's hug and kiss was given to his wife and he picked up Cage from Sara's arms and held him firmly, still smiling while Cage looked at Contra with outstretched arms, eager to PAT. Contra was last in the line and he looked at her with his so, so beautiful and almost humane eyes.
"You." said Sara happily and hugged Contra's big sweetie neck. "You are a wonder. You marvelous creature!" She kissed his muzzle and he twitched his lips as if he would have responded the generosity.
"Last year 3rd place, this year 6th. You sure has talent my dear boy." mused Sara as she caressed Contra's ears, looking up at him.
"Retirement next then," said William nodding towards Contra while jumping slightly with Cage who was having a blast in his fathers arms.
"No."
"NO?!" William looked at her and stopped jumping.
"No. He still got it in him. Don't you boy. Sure you can jump some more for us?"
Contra looked at them and they could have sworn that saw a twitch of a smile on his proud dark face.
