at ease - Story 11119 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

His trainer, Miss Evans, signalled to him. “Marco, we’re going to need you to start training for dressage.”

Marco’s grip on the reins tightened slightly, his face set in a calm, focused expression. He was ready. "Of course, Miss Evans," he replied, feeling a small thrill of anticipation. He felt capable.
