The nearby stalls are occupied by horses, fairly similar to Kip but with much shorter hair in a variety of colors, no horns, and very different eyes, all-black to his blue with horizontal pupils. Most of them are at least watching the little group; one horse two stalls down and across the aisle from Deka reaches out over the door to her stall to try to sniff at One when he gets close.

One twitches a little away, a barely there move, and then creeps forward and extends towards the horse to sniff at her in turn.

She can't actually reach him over the stall door until he reaches up, or even quite make contact when he does; she's close enough to snuffle at him, though, large nostrils moving enough air to thoroughly ruffle his fur.

He shivers a little under the attention, and gives a little giggle-like sound at the sensation. Then he drops down, and pads back to Kip's stall to groom his fur back into place.

Phantasm lags behind to play with the horse.

"Doing okay?" Deka asks when he gets back.

"Mhmm," he agrees with a nod. "Was just curious. Horse?" He tilts his head, almost as if he's not sure that's the right word. "Horse wanted to sniff. Was interesting!"

"Yeah, that's a horse. They're pretty nice usually. Different from goats, good for different things. Don't know as much about them. Could find someone to ask, sometime, if you want."

One thinks for a moment. "Maybe? I think I'd like that. But- not right now, please? Maybe too much right now."

"Of course." She spends a second focusing on her brushing before speaking again. "Want to make sure you have the idea that you can do things, whatever things you want; doesn't mean you have to do anything if you don't want."

One hums quietly while he thinks that over. "I- Yes. It's...probably a good idea? To- do that? And I- appreciate it? Thank you?" (He manages to not say that Deka doesn't have to go to the trouble.)

"'Welcome." Brush brush. "Hard to know if - too much, that stuff, maybe? Might not notice if - annoying you. Can say, if I am. And - I'll try to remember to ask."

    "Wuk. We'll watch for it."

"Thanks, sweetie."

One chirps quietly. "Thanks. I- might not notice. Or- might not- manage to say? Will try, but-"

"Yeah, not much - can do if neither of us notices. But if you do, please say. Helps me, too, I don't want to..." she gestures vaguely with the brush, giving up on finding the word she wants.

"Anyway, griffons will help, they're good at that." She nuzzles Figment.

"They are!" One agrees with a slight bounce.

"Yeah."

She goes back to brushing the goat out; it's not a quick process, on an animal his size, and she's too engrossed in it to talk much.

Phantasm comes over before too long, though, and sits with him in the aisle.

"Want to go for a climb?" He asks, eventually. "We don't have to stay."

One perks up, and then looks at Deka, then back to Phantasm. "Ah- she won't- mind?" Pauses, works through reframing it. "She won't...mind that I go, because she wants me to do things I want to do...right?"

"Yeah," he nods.

"...Should warn her though, yes? So she knows we're going?"

"It's good to. It's okay when we forget though, she knows we'll be back."

One nods, but seeing as they've remembered, he will get Deka's attention to tell her they're going for a climb.

"Okay. See you at - room."

Figment gives her a friendly nudge and joins them - first they'll have to get past the wagon out front.

Well...One is pretty good at being relatively unnoticeable, and they can all slip through relatively small spaces to get around the wagon?

Nobody takes any particular notice of them, at least, and there's a young tree nearby with its trunk clear of platforms all the way up to the canopy.

Oh! That's good! They can start there then? Or One can at least, the griffons are probably going to fly up rather than climbing (which is pretty cool to watch). One scales the tree with relative ease - still getting used to his more filled out body, and how it works when he's climbing.
