[ Cardamom is having about zero percent of being approached by a horse on fire, but he can't get too far from Ettie - he jumps down onto the net between her and the cowboy. Cardamom stares up at Nero for a moment, evaluating, before deciding that anywhere away from On Fire is good. So prowling right up to him and seeking shelter in his lap, thank you.
In the meantime, Ettie's attention is completely captivated by the horse on fire approaching her. A more cautious person would probably not immediately lift a hand to pet the horse, but pain is just pain and how often do you get to pat a horse like this? She's always been a little more comfortable with animals than people anyway; they're less judgy. So she doesn't hide her wonder as the horse approaches, reaching to gently pat his neck. ]
Oh, hello. Aren't you unique? And fast too, I bet.
