[ Horse names are free, Geralt. You can have as many of them as you want, you don't have to reuse the same one.
Satisfied that he's backed away from whatever mental edge he had been at, she approaches again, holding the last clean towel left in the room. It's fine, she'll just steal some of Nadine's while the pile of them that she's got in the sink dry out. There's still a certain wariness in her movements, but she's never exactly been one to let that stop her from doing things, so she stands behind him and dries his hair. ]
I'm sure she's seen a horse, but back where we're from, most people don't ride anymore. We have cars to get around instead, and most people don't live with enough land for horses, or really any animal that can't live inside with them. Most people live in cities, so they don't have space for pastures or stables, and they don't move around enough to keep a horse happy. But our country is a huge one, and she and I are from different places in it. She's from up northeast, where there's a lot of industry, factories and stuff, and there's not much land. I'm from Kansas, in the middle of the country. We have lots of farmland because we grow most of the food, and there ain't as many cities around. Not everyone there is a farmer, but everyone knows someone who is. My uncle and aunt, they had a little farm, only big enough for them to feed themselves, really. I used to stay with them as much as I could while my parents worked, and usually they put me to takin' care of the animals, 'cause that's easy for kids. That's where I learned to ride.
