==Description==
Yasuke received an invitation from Rin.
<!--
==Dialogue==
[]
*'''Rin:''' ''Yasuke! I'm glad you're here.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Is everything all right?''
*'''Rin:''' ''Well, there is a horse in the forest. I think it escaped from battle. I tried to approach, but it ran off. And I could use a horse around here, you know.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Show me where you last saw the horse. We will make sure it is all right.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Follow me! I'll tell you when we are close.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''It may be best to approach the horse in silence. Until we are in position.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Then silence you should have. As hard as it is for me at times. Come!''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''This is where I saw it. It drank from the stream. I think I see it. Come on!''
[]
*'''Rin:''' ''Over there, Yasuke. Look!''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''This horse has seen better days. Approach slowly, but with confidence. Show it you are in control.''
[]
*'''Rin:''' ''There, there. All is well. You're safe. Poor thing. Out here alone.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''We will take it to your hut. No sense in you both being alone.''
*'''Rin:''' ''I've never looked after horses before. We could never afford to keep one. I've never even ridden one.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''I grew up riding horses. Judging by its coat, this horse was cared for. It is accustomed to being ridden. Try. I will be with you.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Just... don't let me fall. Stay close! Here goes nothing...''
[]
*'''Rin:''' ''I'm doing it!''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''You are doing great! See? Nothing to fear.''
[]
*'''Rin:''' ''Ah! It's okay, it's okay! Calm down!''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Steady... steady. You are all right. You are safe.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Which of us are you speaking to?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Both, I suppose. Come. We are not far.''
*'''Rin:''' ''And once again, I'm very glad you are here, Yasuke.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''And I'm very glad you managed to stay on the horse. when I was learning, I cannot tell you how many times I fell on my... ah... that I fell. Once it gets to know you, the horse will be as calming a presence as you are to me.''
*'''Rin:''' ''This brings something very important to my attention. About you. About me.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''And what is that?''
*'''Rin:''' ''That we really need... a name for this horse.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Agreed. Let us get our new friend back to the hut first. And slowly, yes?''
*'''Rin:''' ''You are speaking to the horse again, aren't you.''
*'''Yasuke:''' [laughs] ''A wise man knows when to say nothing.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''How about we take a short ride? Put you and this horse through its paces a little?''
*'''Rin:''' ''Just... not too fast, yes? We don't want to scare the horse away again.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''You will both be fine. I will lead the way.''
[]
*'''Rin:''' ''Where exactly are you taking me?''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Worry less about the destination, focus on the journey. Feel the breeze and enjoy yourself.''
*'''Rin:''' ''Easy for you to say when you were born in the saddle!''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''The best advice I was told was to simply believe you can do it.''
*'''Rin:''' ''That - whoa - explains a lot.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Stop thinking of her as an animal, and as a friend instead. Right now, she's just as worried as you.''
*'''Rin:''' ''This time, I am certain you are speaking to the horse.''
*'''Yasuke:''' [laughs] ''We are nearly there.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Here we are.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Well? Did you enjoy your first ride?''
*'''Rin:''' ''My first ride? No. But this second one was quite exciting. The view was more than worth it.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''The... waterfall?''
*'''Rin:''' ''That too.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Waterfalls soothe me. I do not know if it is the noise, or the flow... It calms me. Do you think you will master horse riding?''
*'''Rin:''' ''Well, my teacher is unorthodox. But yes. In time. We only have each other, after all. We need time to practice and grow accustomed to one another.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Are you talking about the horse or your "unorthodox teacher?"''
*'''Rin:''' ''I will leave that to your imagination, sensei.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Now that you are this horse's new owner, practice daily. I know you'll be an excellent rider within weeks. ''
*'''Rin:''' ''Not within days? Yasuke, how little you know me. All the same, I will practice. There is little else to occupy me.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Next time I see you, not only will you be a master rider, this stray horse will have a name.''
*'''Rin:''' ''"Stray?" No, this horse has a home now. I will keep Ite fed, and build her a shelter.''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Ite... "Archer?" A fine name for a horse.''
*'''Rin:''' ''I wanted to name her after something you taught me. Come back when you can, Yasuke.''
[]
*'''Yasuke:''' ''Let the horse know where you want to go-''
*'''Rin:''' ''Uh, over there!''
*'''Yasuke:''' ''- by looking at where you want to go.'' [laughs]-->

==Outcome==
Rin adopted a horse and took her first riding lessons.
