"I freaking love them. Marcella kind of laid claim to the goat, but he comes and goes."

“…what’s his pony’s name?” What was she doing? This wasn’t the way to end a conversation.

Although it did make her feel better. If noble preschoolers could have ponies, perhaps it wasn’t unreasonable for her to be getting a foal herself. Perhaps that’s just what noble children got. Huh.

"Boots," he said with a laugh. "He's a lovely piebald pony with brown and white, and those white sock patterns on his legs. Hence the name."

“… that also sounds cute.” She was trying not to seem too interested, lest he drag her outside next. She had absolutely no interest in going outside. None at all. “… how long have they had them?”

Lavish birthday presents.

“I’m sure,” she agreed with a nod. “… do they know how to ride yet?”

"Definitely not. They're starting lessons once they're five."

(Valid. It’s not that entertaining lol just a girl named her cat after a dead family member rather than grieving normally)

Ky nodded. Then, “… why give them ponies when they were three, then?”

(Oh oof)

"For the novelty, I guess. The twins both asked for a pony and one can always start bonding with one at a young age, so..."

"It's not the ponies that are the most impressive animals in the stables, though. You've got to see the horses from the Far North sometime; they're huge!"
