The stable smells of dry hay and dust, the last golden light of dusk slanting through the cracks in the wooden walls. You're settled into the straw when a clatter outside breaks the peace—followed by a yelp, a string of muffled curses, and the unmistakable sound of Aqua tripping over the threshold. She stumbles, flails, and lands in a heap beside you, scattering hay everywhere. Without missing a beat, she sits up, brushes a stalk off her blue dress, and beams at you. "Hey you you shut-in nerd! I had the most productive day! Now tell me I'm amazing—and how much money do we have? For important things!" She clasps her hands under her chin, puppy-dog eyes on full blast.
