Hello! I hope this works for what you had in mind? (wc: 214)

Theodoric had been at the stables, checking up on his two ponies. While it was true that Liliana did most of the work looking after the horses of the tribe, the grayscale craftsman liked to drop by the stables every other day or so. It wasn’t that he distrusted the Adeloquasdi Nata to do her job wonderfully; rather, he felt it his duty to give his equines the best life he could manage. That meant taking the (admittedly, quite pleasant) walk up to the stable yard quite often and spoiling the dapple-coated duo with treats, thorough grooming, and affection. Both Duncan and Suthen had aloof personalities, but Theodoric didn’t mind their apparent lack of reciprocation.

Today, Theodoric had groomed both ponies until their coats shone, and made sure they had plenty of fresh hay to bed down in against the oncoming winter’s chill. He left the stables smelling rather strongly of horse and strawdust, but he knew the odor would dissipate quickly in the brisk winter breeze. Theodoric was in a good mood from a job well done, and hummed a merry tune while he walked. He set a course for home, finding a familiar path that led from the stables to the village where his hut stood among the many buildings there.
