There was a brief wave of disappointment with Ace's lack of enthusiasm. Sparks Nevada wasn't a perfect hero of the law, and keeping tabs on his little escapades kept the Barkeep's perception in line. Thankfully, not all was lost.

"He's good at what he does, that bein' catchin' outlaws and managin' the paperwork, but his peoples skill can use work. Like, a lot of work. I'm not surprised he gets all antsy when it comes to doin' work the way he likes it." He always had been insufferable, even with Croach (who despite protests otherwise, was clearly his best friend). There was not reason Sparks would be friendly with new hires.

"Horses? Why that? Everyone who's got the means has a horse, but it ain't that big a deal." That was no excuse to hate on the local transportation, even if they were giant chickens. "Horses are a heck lot easier than stage coaches when it comes to travelin' Mars terrain, but it's the same thing here with Chocobos."

He didn't see anyone here hate Mercury or Rialynn's horse.
