"Stalward is no pet." Prospekt said. "He is not to do tricks for amusement. But he can bear me where I will, and aid me with my work."

"No no!" Prospekt said waving a hand in dismissal. "I did not mean to raise my voice as such." He pause for a moment. "Here." He began, holding out his hand. "Let me show you."

Prospekt whispered to Stalward, then flicked the reins. The horse began to trot towards the house, the Prospekt led him towards the main road. They reached the end of the property, then turned away from the town, and out into the hills. The sun was beginning to set, and the grass became orange.
