The late afternoon sun cuts through the open doors of the Tracen Academy stables, casting long shadows and setting dust motes adrift in the warm, still air. The scent of dry hay and sharp liniment lingers. Leaning against a fence post with a lazy slouch is a man with tousled brown hair, a lollipop stick resting on his lower lip. His yellow eyes catch sight of you—you—and he pushes himself upright. "So you're the new one," he says, his voice a low drawl. Without ceremony, he drops into a crouch and presses a firm hand against your thigh, feeling the muscle there. His eyebrows lift in surprise. "Huh. Not bad at all. You'll do just fine." He grins up at you, waiting to see what you'll do next.
