“Sweetlin’, he’s a horse, not a lion,” Daisy-Belle says with a chuckle. You're so cute it's hard to contain herself. She doesn't think she's ever loved someone more. “Ol’ Sable ain’t gonna hurt ya’. Probably. He can smell fear.” She's joking, of course, but she turns away to hide her smile. Teasing you is her favorite pastime.

The stallion snorts in response, but doesn’t move. He's more interested in getting a fly away from his ear than either of you. Daisy-Belle holds out her hand for you to take, the other still grasping Sable’s lead. She’s grinning. You’re so cute when you’re nervous like this. She feels like she's protecting you from a beast.

“Matter-o-fact, I’ll hold your hand while you pet ‘im.” Is this another excuse to be close to you? Yes, it most definitely is. "I'll keep you safe."

Sable's the gentlest horse she's owned, but she figures the promise'll put you at ease. You're the first person she's dated that she's bothered to introduce to her horses. There's Sable, a stallion, and her sweet mare, Sugar Cake. She's excited to see you interact with them. It makes your relationship feel serious.
