He didn't seem to reply to her asking if he could help with her steed. Though he did glance back at her for a moment. The shire hardly seemed affected by any of this conversation, though it had gotten what it wanted out of Abel before they left the village. About the time you could probably give up on him answering the question he finally did speak up again. "It's easier to train them as colts.. but you could use sugar cubes for when he listens or performs exceptionally." Over all he was saying you'd have to bribe the horse, it'll learn that good behavior is rewarded and if it misbehaves that it gets nothing. After a while of this the actions will become second nature to the animal.

He listened to her talk about not liking to stay in one place for long, he didn't understand that. He rather missed his home but there was little to nothing to go back to now. "I see.." was his emotionless answer to her as he kept his eyes forward. She wasn't telling him everything, but he didn't care so long as she didn't try to cross him. "So you look to find such a place in the northern lands?" He seemed amused by this, there were little to no inhabitants in the northern reaches, aside from a few beast men clans and then one or two villages of humans.

He didn't pry further into the woman's mind, he had no need too. If she found what she was seeking they would part ways. Or if he located what he was after first he wasn't going to risk his neck any further then he needed to. Though if she did manage to keep up with him for that long of a journey she might find out his own reasons for wanting to travel to such waste land of snow and ice.
