Following their ride, Elaine and Susan return to the stables. Soon afterward, Elaine heads back to the bar, while Susan remains behind to tend to tack and grooming.
She finishes unsaddling Kiseki and carries the tack back into the stable.
Easier, perhaps safer, to wait until the girls were back and gone again to really leave the stables, and so whatever watcher or presence there may have been was still there.
Seeming idle. Bored, perhaps. Enjoying the sight of a bifurcated girl, a little, like someone used to seeing women in copious amounts of skirt and corset.
She drapes the saddle and pad over a nearby stand, and picks up a box with various combs and brushes, then goes to stand just outside the door with Boukephalos.
Susan begins to brush and curry the war-stallion, murmuring softly to him in low tones as she works, with an occasional raised word for Kiseki, standing patiently nearby.

Pretty little thing.

Who would have thought, after all this time? It did take him back, the smell of horses.
Girl was good with them, though. And she was being watched again, if once again at a low intensity.

Although she does glance around once or twice, mayhap a bit absently, mayhap not-- but there's nothing to see.
