Ásta felt anger boil up inside of her. She turned around to face Morag, her blue eyes seemingly edged with rough ice. "Do not call me miss," she said sharply, narrowing her eyes to her own disdain. She felt small, as though she had to defend herself against being contained. "If you are to be taking the job of looking after my horse, I expect nothing less than perfection," she continued on in her fit. She began listing out things that Bouncy liked, trying to throw Morag off track. "She needs each of her supplements measured out perfectly - every single little grain of it perfect!" and, "If she has even the smallest of pebbles or sort in her hooves..." and so on and so forth until she gave a huff, stalking out of the barn. Sure, Morag was quite a charmer, but a girl like Ásta found things such as being bedridden considered a sign of weakness.
Bouncy watched wistfully as Ásta walked away. She blinked her big, brown eyes a few times, searching the darkness to make out the other humans. She nickered towards them, seeking out attention.
