A collab with the extremely talented abosz007 <3 I really enjoyed working on this collab, I think it turned out super cosy and cute c:
I did the lines and shading, and cursey did the amazing sketch, flats and background! ;u;

The below is an rp between myself and cursey as some context, but TLDR; Ash falls in love with this fluffy Alpesi puppy, much to Fevernova's jealousy :')
Starting paragraph and vidar's parts are by cursey, and ash's are by myself

Obertauern was finally reached and the weather outside turned so frosty despite the setting sun, that just being inside the stable felt like summer. Vidar arrived with the last bunch of entrants and showed them around a bit. It was the base of the wild Obertaurers, where people would sometimes come and pick up their wild imports or receive their premium certificates, so it had a bunch of cabins to accomodate the entrants for a day of rest. Finlandia was letting out a content snort as her human finished the grooming and looked over to her current stall-neighbor. A somewhat familiar face . She was unbothered by the little puppy that excitedly ran up to Asher and barked up his leg, perhaps this human would give her more attention than the others she met today.
-
Both Asher and his horse enjoyed the relative warmth that the stalls provided. The scent of clean hay and the sound of horses eating it felt refreshingly like home. The Australian was so distracted by thawing out and admiring the neighbouring horses, that he almost didn’t notice a small creature coming up to his leg. At least until a startled Fevernova snorted in its direction, prompting his handler to turn,

“Oh, hello” Asher smiled warmly down at the little ball of fluff that vaguely resembled a dog. Without much hesitation, he kneeled down cautiously to scoop the puppy up and cradle it in his arms; safe from the peril of horse hooves. He wondered, as he petted the fleecy fur, if the puppy was lost. He noticed an ornately dressed man nearby with raven hair and a pale complexion. Perhaps the puppy was his, he thought.

“‘Scuse me, is this your puppy?” He asked the man with a friendly expression as he approached. Though, his eyes clearly reflected hope that the puppy wasn’t owned. With such a dear little face and fur so soft, Ash was already quite attached.
-
Vidar had already watched the scene unfold over his shoulder and gave Asher a big smile from the question „If this was mine i‘d be largely offended he or she ran up to you instead“ he grimaced a little to underline he was only kidding. „Probably a new litter of my brother‘s herders. Kinda gotten himself into breeding the perfect dogs to help drive the Obers about“ he gestured around with the brush in his hand, suggesting there was a bunch of these dogs around. „You don‘t look too interested in giving it back“ he had that beary deep chuckle.
-
Asher couldn’t help a soft chuckle of amusement and relief at Vidar’s joke. It gave him the impression that these dogs were loyal - a trait he liked in his animal companions. He gave the puppy the softest scritches on its delicate head as he beamed, adding a hopeful half-joke of his own,

“You’re quite right. If you’re brother’s selling them, and I survive the next phase, I’ll have to come back for this little one”
-
„You held up pretty well so far, i think you are going to make it to the finish line“ he walked over some steps to pat him on the shoulder „i‘ll inquire for you about the puppy - if you mean it“ it was perfectly fine to be joking about obtaining a dog but maybe he really contemplated that. The little one seemed to be thrilled about the affection meanwhile
-
Asher hesitated for just a moment, peeking down at the puppy. Owning a dog was quite the commitment, and not one to take lightly. Despite that, he had the means to take the best possible care of his new furry friend, and promised himself to do so. He clarified his intentions with a sure nod,

“I’d really appreciate that, thank you” The Australian’s face lit up with excitement and gratitude. Vidar’s faith in his survival bolstered his own, and had given him one more reason to complete the journey.
-
„They are very outdoorsy but seeing you attend this event i doubt that will be a challenge“ Vidar resumed to wrap up the grooming session and slowly untie the lead rope of his Mare to bring her into the stall, and closer to the much anticipated dinner. She was staring at that hay net already from a distance like it is the holy grail.
-
“The perfect riding companion” Asher mused enthusiastically.

He couldn’t help but admire the horse behind Vidar, brought to his attention as she was untied. Of course, he had a soft spot for pretty mares with velvet.

“Your horse is beautiful, by the way.” “And hungry, by the look of it.” He added with a laugh, not wanting to keep a lady waiting for her food.
-
The hungarian nodded, a good riding companion they sure are. And god did he start to BEAM at the compliment towards Finlandia. „Awwwww thank you!! I had her mom with me at phase one, she luckily inherited that moose face of hers „ he smoooshed the mare‘s nose who kept her gaze on the food and tried to reach for it even before she arrived in the stall „and i believe your handsome steed also wants to be held like that“ he giggled playfully and nodded at the puppy in his arms. „Clearly he deserves it too“
-
It warmed Asher’s heart to see the man so proud of his horse and brought a grin to his freckled face.

“The prettiest moose the snow has ever seen” he agreed with a chuckle.

As if on cue, Fevernova snorted in Ash’s direction, mismatched eyes fixed on the furball taking his precious attention.

“Aw, I wish.” He replied, cooing at his pouting stallion. Dreamily, he added,

“If obers were dog-sized, I’d carry them anywhere I go”
-
Finlandia seemed to chew on her hay with even more joy as if she knew she was just called pretty. After some more pets, Vidar joined Asher again, seeing the puppy really enjoy his affection „we need to normalize bringing horses inside sometimes , they totally deserve it, fully agree „
