“Have you been traveling very long?” Tim asked as Katara closed the stall door. The woman nodded slightly. “Your horse looked like she’d been out for a long time. If you like, I can brush her up after I get her some food and water. You don’t need to worry about her at all any more.”

“Thank you, Tim,” the woman said with a smile. “Swift enjoys being groomed.” Tim nodded and picked up a bucket. He and Katara parted ways as she headed back for the inn and he went to make Swift feel at home.

Swift whinnied softly as Tim re-entered the stall with the corn and hay. He smiled at her while preparing the food and then set it before her. She immediately went to eating and he fetched brush and comb and began his work.

However long they had been traveling, Katara certainly hadn’t neglected her horse to mud and dirt, and it was only a matter of minutes before Tim had her looking clean again. He combed her main and then left the stall. He would find master Meriadoc to double check if he had neglected anything and then, if not, wait for the next horse to arrive.
