[horseish]

Yes. No one's better at understanding horses than me. I don't get to do it much here, though, since it's cold.

[candothat]

I take care of Rosella's horses sometimes. When it's warmer, would you like to go to the stable?

[horseish]

Yes please.

[candothat]

Good! Would you maybe tell me more about horses? I can ride a little, but I never saw one before I came to the City. You must know far more about them.

[horseish]

Horses are very curious. That's how you can get them to come up to you on their own. You just have to be very still and quiet and show that you're not a threat and then they'll come over to see you themselves because they always want to know what's happening.

[candothat]

How did you learn that? Just by being still and quiet?

[horseish]

Yes. And lots of watching. You can understand anything if you watch it long enough.

[candothat]

It is very difficult to watch particle physics.

[He's just teasing. Chekov likes Bobby.]

What else have you learned about by watching?

[horseish]

What's particle physics?

[Time tables are getting boring. She's drawing a tree now.]

About people and things, too.

[candothat]

A study of the way the smallest things in existence operate.

[That is a fine tree.]

What kinds of things, if I may ask?

[horseish]

Like tiny insects and things?

Just stuff.

[candothat]

Not so much. Imagine the smallest insect, and then imagine how small the billions of things that make up that insect must be--tiny things like that.

[Far be it for him to press.]

Stuff isn't as interesting as horses?

[horseish]

Not a lot of things are. Except maybe throwing fire!

[candothat]

Do you know how to do that?

[horseish]

Yes but I don't have the right things with me anymore here.

[candothat]

What things do you need?

[Let's throw some fire!]

[horseish]

I'm not allowed to tell you.

[candothat]

Because it is magic?

[horseish]

Yes. There's no point to magic if just everybody knows how it works.

[candothat]

Very true.

What if I paid, but did not look?

[horseish]

But what if you say you won't look but you do it anyway?

[candothat]

[very solemnly] I never break promises.

[horseish]

Not EVER?

[candothat]

Never in my life.
