The royal stables hold all of the horses of the noble people living in the castle. They are very well constructed, consisting of expert mason work and fixtures of some sort of heavy, forest-scented wood. Each horse has a large stall, lined with fresh hay replenished by stable hands daily. On the walls of stable, there are tools used to care for and groom the horses, hung on hooks. The stables are lit by lanterns hung throughout the stables.

I am a brown mouse. I live in a barn with my best friend, Horse. I like to hide from him in the hay.
Oh no, I need to hide! Agh! A mouse! Not in my stable! Get away from me!  Please don't make me use this, mouse. I am but a caretaker, but I must look after my horses. You scare them. Don't do it, please/ The horse is my best friend! Prove it! Prove the horse is your best friend! If the horse wasn't a friend, why would I stay here and why would the horse not bother me? You make a good point... I swear to you that I do not mean any harm. Let me get a good look at you. Go right ahead. Would you like it?
