Chapter 14.
"What if it gets cold?"
"We'll just have to snuggle close to each other, Tan, or cover ourselves with leaves. We haven't got anything else."
"What about this blanket thing on George? If we take off his saddle it's big enough for a few of us."
"George? How did you come up with that, Rhys?"
"He has to have a name, Tan. We can't just call him ‘it’ or ‘horse’."
