Scene 1
In the stables, the Shelby brothers, Arthur, John, and Thomas, gathered around Asya's horse.
Arthur, his eyes scanning the horse, spoke up.
Arthur: This one's got a strong build, Tommy. Could be a bloody good racehorse with a bit of training.
John: (nodded in agreement) Aye, look at those legs, strong and sturdy. We could turn it into a winner.
Thomas, leaning against a stable post, chuckled.
Thomas: You both better watch what you say. If Asya hears you suggesting her horse for racing, she'd have your tongues for breakfast.
Arthur: (grinned) You reckon she'd go that far?
Thomas, a smirk playing on his lips, replied.
Thomas: Knowing her, she might. She's got a temper.
John, still examining the horse, chimed in.
John: Well, we're just admiring the animal, aren't we? No harm in that.
Thomas raised an eyebrow, "Try telling her that when she's holding a shotgun."
