Ghosts of the Forest (2)

Ash was still at the same place, patiently waiting for someone to come out.

It ate all the leaves she had given him and welcomed her again with a snort. It was a cheerful sound but mixed with a bit of complaining like it was blaming her for not giving him enough greens to eat. Despite his appetite, he was well-behaved, staying away from her hard-worked garden.

"Be nice… Stay here and guard your master, okay? I will be back soon," she comforted the horse by patting its head. But as soon as she passed through her garden and headed towards the Forest, the horse was alarmed and stepped agitatedly into her vegetable beds, trying to kick off the fences.

"Woah! What's wrong?! Be nice and stay home, okay?"

The horse refused with a loud stomp, not allowing her to leave anymore. His neighing was full of complaints, as he warned her to stay away from possible danger.

"What should I do then?! Luan needs medicine!"

The mount ignored her words, still showing its disapproval.
