Mal is back for his second straight appearance, but this time with a purpose - he's going out to the stables. He hasn't checked on Tequila in longer than he would like. This is why he's picking up a thermos of cocoa before he goes out in the cold.

He's got a smile on his face though, so if you catch him he'll be in a good mood.

[OOC: will be slow for a bit, but am also working on slowtimes from last night.]

"It would have gone amiss if she had not, mayhap," Caspian says, after a pause of his own, and if his hands are wrapped a bit more tightly around the mug, at least his tone is still normal.

He seems about to go on, and then clears his throat and changes his mind.

"Did she, now? I didn't know you came from a ranch."

[badinlatin]

"Yup - 's how I know 'bout horses and all. Won't be near Shadow for awhile, but I remembered what you said 'bout looking for animals for Amy, and figured Ma'd like a new project, so she went huntin'."

Caspian grins, at that.

"Did you? That's right kind of you, Mal."

He takes a sip of chocolate, and then continues.

"Did you see any good prospects? And--well, it's a bit presumptuous, mayhap, but I'd dearly love to come and see them for myself, if you think they might be suitable."

[badinlatin]

"Shi a - she's got a good mare you might want to think on. But - I'm not quite sure when we're gonna be able to make a stop off on Shadow proper. Kind o'...got into a spot o' trouble last time I was there. Ma does some transport off-world though, so we'll work on somethin'."

Caspian nods.

"Whatever you think best. You've already done so much, and I'm grateful. How can I even begin to thank you?"

[badinlatin]

Mal waves off the compliment with a somewhat surprised grunt.

"Just...I'm not in the stables as much as I'd like, so what you're doin' already is fine enough."
