OOM sorta: Milliways Stables, for Ako

It's early. So early, in fact, the sun -- or whatever star variant warms the bar -- hasn't climbed high enough in the sky to show its face. There's a bit of a fog curling around the forest and the lake, and a fresh dusting of snow on the path to the stables.

Kate's been up for an hour already, taking care of the morning chores with the other brave souls out doing their morning duties. Concession has been fed and watered, and now all that's left is for Miss Ako to come by and get him ready for her first ride.
