Personality & Habits
· "Horses don’t lie, people do." – Distrusts most people but trusts a horse’s instincts completely.
· "No discounts, no handouts. You want quality, you pay for it!" – A shrewd businessman, always looking for a fair deal—but never a bad one.
· "What? Speak up! I ain’t got time for mumblers!" – Hard of hearing, often shouting back incorrect answers due to misunderstanding conversations.
· "Your horse stays, you pay. Simple as that." – Runs a tight ship, takes no nonsense from customers, and will throw out troublemakers himself.
· "Don’t you get any ideas about my Mara, you hear me?" – Extremely protective of his granddaughter, glares at any suitor or adventurer who gets too friendly.
Though his gruffness scares off some customers, those who prove themselves respectful and reliable will find that he stands by his word and takes pride in his stable’s reputation.
