Firm nod. "I agree. I think you are a good judge of horses, perhaps the best."

"She seems sweet," he says, because that will probably make more sense to them than 'I bet she would be terrifying in a cavalry charge.'

Another firm nod. Some more jumping and running around.

"I'm sorry I don't have any food for you," he says quietly to Equality. Jingyan's still close enough to hear, although Tommy probably doesn't realize it. "But I don't have any food for me either. Equality, yeah?" And then he laughs a little at his own joke.

...he has some potatoes at his house. And when he gets back, he is showering Tommy in them.

More jumping around on horseback! And then: "We should find somewhere to keep her. ...Maybe hide her so Sapnap doesn't kill her."

"......Yeahhh that's probably a good idea. Probably not in L'Manberg, I'll have everyone checking for TNT but it still seems like maybe not the best idea."

Small shudder. "No more TNT for me thank you."

Horses are an important strategic asset. It's best to make sure that people can't find them and destroy them. "Is there are nearby cave we could block off? --There's also the arena, but that is in L'Manberg."

“Well, there’s the Pogtopia ravine—upside is there’s already a path to it, downside is people know where it is.”

“Tubbo, I’m— I don’t want to go back there, why would you—“

“Oooooorrrrrr not. There’s probably a cave connected to the sewers somewhere we could use.”

“…Sure, yeah, we’ll, we’ll figure something out, isn’t that right boys. And girl. I think Equality can be one of the boys but only in an honorary sense.”

...Pogtopia? He is not going to ask right now, but it goes on the list of things he needs to find out about. "Worst comes to worst, we could dig a hole and cover it. I wouldn't want to keep her there too long, but we could."

“Well yeah but that’s animal abuse innit. C’mon mate, at least let her see the sun. She’s, she’s my friend.”

"...There are people in L'Manberg most of the time. Is she that likely to be stolen in broad daylight?"

“…Well, no. I think Ranboo and Quackity have pets and they’ve been fine so far. It’s just… y’know, it’s a risk.”

"--I'm not sure how well we could hide her and give her sunlight, unless we put her very far away and count that as hiding-- but that would not be very practical."

“We should make a stable in L’Manberg and then she will not have to be far away because she can be an advertisement, come to L’Manberg we have Equality. We also have lanterns now but that is not a horse or an ideal so it is not as cool. And then she can be here where there is people and not far away where she will have to be all alone.”

"That sounds like a sensible risk."

“Pogchamp. Tubbo, do we have enough oak logs for fences?”

“Yep. I’ll craft ‘em.” Once a couple logs have been turned into fences, he tosses some to Tommy. “Just for you, bossman.”

Then they can start building an area for horses! It’s very small on account of how there is not actually a lot of space in L’Manberg and even less that is not a flooded crater.

Tommy, it turns out, is comedically terrible at building, but he is not about to let that stop him. Tubbo’s better at it and also less easily distracted, so he ends up doing most of the actual building, but he’s in good spirits about the whole thing. 

..Jingyan is not much better than Tommy, but he is willing to help.

That’s all they can ask for! It’s less pretty than most of L’Manberg but it fits in pretty well with the look of the server as a whole. And Equality seems happy in it, which is what matters. (Tommy insists she nodded when he asked, and he seems spooked enough by it that it might even be true.)

Horses that can understand language are not the weirdest thing he has seen here.

And now he is in L'Manberg, he goes into his house and grabs a bunch of his spare potatoes.

And ten minutes later, Tommy's chests suddenly have extra potatoes. Wonder where those came from.
