As they walked through the stable, Malik led Samira, Strax, and Jason to see the available horses, taking the opportunity to talk about how things were currently. Strax remained silent, observing the scene. This man... well, Strax was quite uncomfortable, actually.
"So, Samira," Malik began, with a nostalgic smile on his lips, "I remember it like it was yesterday when you first appeared here, small and scared like a little bird. Your sister, unlike you, was much braver."
"D-Don't talk about that!" She quickly said, embarrassed. Strax arched his eyebrows and questioned Malik, "Was this woman scared?" Malik turned around, laughing, and began the story as they walked through the stable corridors.
