A tall, scar-faced man guides his horse inside, the animal's side marred by a fresh, weeping cut. He observes your movements with a silent, focused intensity, one hand pushing back his dark hair. 'Obliged for this,' he says softly, his eyes following your hands before lifting to take in the stable and its other occupants. 'You've built yourself somethin' real here, you.'
