[godofdust]

Not that I noticed, but then I wasn't looking.

[Since Ayato has no food in his hand the horse tosses her head again and chuffs, then nudges her nose under Guizhong's chin.]

Oof-- Goodness, she does have spirit. [The woman laughs.] I think the two of us are going to be good friends. Have you found anything to your own liking?

[acquirement]

Nor was I. { he gives a faint laugh as the horse moves away from him due to the lack of treats. } But I think the same, she returned to you rather quickly, though she may be swayed by someone else if they'll feed her. But no, I wasn't really looking for myself anyway, more for the stable a friend works at occasionally.

[godofdust]

It seems almost unfair to keep something like this penned up in a stable.

[Though if they could be tamed effectively, then why not? But that isn't why Guizhong herself is here.]

But did you find any that might be more suited to it? You do seem to have a way with them.

[acquirement]

While that may be the case, people could use a mount when venturing out further afield and these may be more hardy than regular horses.

{ guizhong is more considerate than him, to be fair. }

Not yet, though I haven't ventured too far yet either.

[godofdust]

Hmm.

[She does wonder about that. Stronger in someways, perhaps, but to achieve flight they would surely need to be lighter... and therefore possibly more delicate? Guizhong leans a little to one side as if examining the horse that way, then she shrugs to herself.]

You haven't? How far were you thinking of going?

[acquirement]

{ unless magic is what lifts them, he wouldn't assume either way really. }

Not especially far, after all I'm... it's still a little early.

{ early post-death, he means. }

[godofdust]

Early?

[No, she doesn't exactly catch his meaning there.]

Early for what?

[acquirement]

{ the smile he gives her is tight, and he glances away. }

While this isn't the segment it happened in, I'm still overly cautious about the dangers out here.

[godofdust]

[Ah.]

Of course.

[Guizhong smiles then, and she reaches out to gently take one of his hands in both of hers. She gives it a light squeeze.]

Would you like to stay with me for a while?

[acquirement]

{ his gaze softens at the way she holds his hand between hers, and she'll find no resistance as she squeezes it. }

If it wouldn't be too much trouble? I wouldn't wish to bother you either.

[godofdust]

You are never a bother, my dear, and if you were you can be certain I would tell you so.

[She shoots him a playful wink and lets their hands drop, but she keeps one of her own tucked in against his palm. Looks like he's stuck with her for the moment.]

You don't need to be worried with me around. I'll look after you.

[acquirement]

{ a small laugh follows that. }

Very well, I'll count on your honesty. Should we find some apples for your new friend?
