[In the next stall is a beautiful dark bay mare. The name on the placard outside is "General Alys." Gregor's face lights up when he sees her. He's obviously proud.]
[General Alys smells the apple a bit, then condescends to much on it. Since he's polite and all that.]
When I first got her, I'd intended for her to be the start of this public stable thing, but she deserves more than life as a rented pack animal. She's a proper Vor lady. [He pats her side with clear affection.]
[Loki chooses the newly-named Kolbakr; as much as the horse reminds him of Vakri, he can't help it. He gets the horse ready with practiced efficiency.]

[He doesn't dispute what Loki's saying, just files it away for later and nods toward the next stall.]
Shall we continue?
no subject
[Loki nods.]
Please.

This one also needs a name, and I've had no takers so far.
no subject
He reminds me a bit of my horse. Distant cousins, perhaps.
[Not literally, of course.]
no subject
I like him a lot. The Malnosso have given good horses so far.
no subject
I'm a bit surprised at that, but I'd agree. He's a lovely beast.

Glad to have been of help, then. And you can call him Kol for short if he's wicked.

Well hello, lady. You've a lovely name as well...

I think I shall save my own... points... for a horse when it comes to that, unless a more useful purchase makes itself known.
So I will be glad to help. I haven't had much chance to be around horses for a while.

And Gregor finds his true calling: Therapy Horsies
Loki smiles.] I should like that very much.
I thought Pinkie Pie had that covered.
Uh oh, therapy turf war coming.
