- Oh dear. She left some of her feed again today.
- Ah!
- She might even be sick... But what do I do if she is?
- Um, you should give her hay instead of feed.
- Oh, Marianne! I didn't notice you there. Wait,
[cdb]what's wrong with feed?
- Oats aren't enough. For a horse, I mean.
Not enough nutritional value.
- Hmm. I suppose I have been giving her a good
[cdb]amount of oats recently. Is that really what's making
[cdb]her unwell?
- Um, yes. Probably.
- In that case, I'll find some hay for her right away.
Thanks for the advice! You sure know a lot.
- Oh no, not at all.
- There's no need to be humble when you clearly know
[cdb]so much! Speaking of which, would you mind if I
[cdb]asked you some other questions?
- No, um, I should have minded my own...
Please excuse me.
- Hey, wait! There's so much I want to ask!
- What do I do? I only brought her on the
[cdb]battlefield once.
- But now she refuses to take even a single step.
- I think, um, she's scared.
- What, really?
- I can try to calm her down, but I don't know.
- Easy, girl. Easy. I know that was scary, but you're
[cdb]safe now. Shhh.
- Amazing! She's walking again!
- She said she hates the stench of blood on the
[cdb]battlefield. That's why she didn't want to move.
- Oh, well, that makes sen— Wait. Did you just talk to
[cdb]my horse?
- Yes. Well, I mean, sort of? I just kind of understand.
- That's incredible. How do you do that? And can you
[cdb]teach me?
- It's really just, I mean, um... I sort of imagine what
[cdb]they're thinking based on little movements or...
- I'm sorry. I'm not helpful. I should go.
- Not helpful? This is the second time you've helped
[cdb]me and her both!
- You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, Marianne.
Have a little confidence in your abilities!
- Please excuse me.
- Wait! I didn't even get to thank you!
