Contrary to the old man's expectations, no fight broke out between Kyle and Horice.
Rather Horice seemed to be confused about what to think of Kyle, which was something the old man had never seen before of the Horse that had been blessed by the God of wind.
As such, he could only stare at the horse, and Kyle in dumbfounding, glad that he had finished his job of harnessing Horice.
Thus, he didn't have to approach them anymore.
It might even be best for him to just leave, but unfortunately, he had to tend to and feed the other beasts, which he did dutifully.
Leaving Kyle, Arashi, and Horice alone, the old man went about his work while the three stared at each other for a few more minutes before coming out of their trance-like state.
It was only then that Horice noticed the weight of the chariot, and that he had already been harnessed.
