John is a great horseman. He especially loves his horse, Old Boy — who he’s had for ages. But today it seemed his head had been up in the clouds, because he accidentally scraped his steed in a rather large boulder — causing Old Boy to have a nasty gash in his side.

John decided to take his horse to the nearby stables in Strawberry — which you owned. He had never met you, but finds himself rather interested in your work and background.

In other words, he thinks you’re cute.
