Greetings fellow Etrayans,

I write to you because I am in need of information or assistance. My horse has arrived, and as I live in the apartments, it is not suitable for her to live with me. What are the appropriate options for housing and caring for a horse here in Etraya?

I know the wild horses that arrived in February run free and are looked after, to some degree, by Aurora's assistants. However, provided access to the right resources, I am perfectly capable of caring for Kai myself and would like to do so.

Communications from people who know about this matter would be appreciated.

[ It is her, and Mizu recognizes the young man as the one she accused of stealing from her. That likely did not improve his opinion of adults, though they didn't end on bad terms. She remembers he also thinks he could kill everyone in Etraya if he so chose. It's a curious thing to put with his hostility toward adults, most of the population. However, he sounded more reasonable by the end of their conversation, and he continues to give her a chance. It may be for the horse's sake, but she'll take it. ]

Good to meet you again. Thank you for meeting me.

[ She won't pretend she wasn't behaving like herself before, but Mizu knows how to be polite. She leads Kai after the young man whose name sounds like an avalanche. ]

[Accelerator waves dismissively. While this isn't exactly what the farm is for and their first conversation wasn't wasn't great (getting accused of something you didn't do never is), he isn't about to be a complete asshole towards someone who just wants to take care of his horse. The apartment would be a really shitty place for it, and Accelerator isn't really familiar with what other options are available in Etraya.]

It's not a fucking problem.

[He's going to lead them further onto the grounds and past the farmhouse, taking his time due to his crutch.]

There aren't stables here, but there's a barn. There's a cow and a goat already living there, but a horse could probably fit.

[ Not great manners, but that's not a problem for Mizu. Checking out the barn and seeing how well it will work for a horse over a stable is. If it will work well, it's worth considering. Her experience with farming is nonexistent. She helped Mikio tame and care for horses before he sold them, so they had stables and were set up for horses specifically. Other animals weren't there.

It's only because she's interacted with farmers about Kai's housing before that she knows what a farm might look like beyond places she's walked past. She's seen cows working before, but she never learned about their care or needs or even spoke with the farmers.

She walks about next to Accelerator at his pace. ]

What do you feed the cow and goat, and how do you get it here?

[ It may differ, but she needs to figure out where to get food wherever Kai stays. ]

[Past the farmhouse is the barn. It's a typical-looking modern building one would expect to see on a small farm, and the goat Mina is poking around out front chewing the grass. Accelerator heads on in.

Inside there are a few stalls for animals, and a loft for storing farming equipment and hay. It's fairly standard stuff.]

I don't take care of them, you'd have to ask the people that do. The bots stock the farm with feed, same as with the restaurants and stores for us.

[Aurora isn't going to let any animals starve.]
