Horsing Around

[not_a_prize]

[It was a while after the inspector's announcement and much of the information was still sinking in. For some it was a time to plan for the future, for others it was a time to discuss the new information that may or may not have rocked views on the very world itself. For Peola and a few security staff and mechanics? It was a time to try manually open a hatch on the giant robot horse.]

Okay! I think we've almost got it! Just one more pull-!

[There was a loud mechanical thunk as they let go of the hatch and quickly move back as it falls. There was silence for a while before the sound of something heavy meeting metal in a steady rhythm made its way outwards to the hangar. Lo and behold a truly titanic horse made its way out with a mighty neigh before cantering over to Peola and snorting loudly, letting a breath all over her.]

Ah! I know I shouldn't have been reckless, but what was I supposed to do? One of her friends was going to get hurt!

[A nicker and another snort and the horse was soon gumming at her hair.]

Quit it! Ack! Somebody help me out here!

[The people assembled in front of the hatch glanced at each other... and then figured it was far too much trouble to get involved and dispersed.]

[So... the giant robot horse had a huge horse in it... huh.]

*A cat is standing right in front of the big creature*

Horse.

[not_a_prize]

[The horse neighs before lowering its head to look at the cat curiously. There's a light snort before it pushes Archie lightly with its snout.]

O...kay?

[Peola's just looking at the interaction with confusion.]

[armowrpiercing]

You're a big horse.

*Archie starts to walk around the horse and in-between its legs, as if investigating it.

[not_a_prize]

[The horse nickers and carefully moves its legs as if trying to avoid stepping on Archie while trying to observe the cat as best as it was able.]

Yeah, he is. Pure bred Plainsrunner. I'm... kinda surprised horses on Earth aren't as big.
