Explaining one's life is not simple. whether the days are good or bad, that is simple, but going through finding key moments that are worth the gossip are not.

Black Steel is a blacksmith, and a damned good one. His hands are coated black each day, and his muscles are forever sore from each good day's work. His lover, a local mare, is easily a well-fairing mare. Perky ass, good figure, yet her metabolism is through the roof. She has massive breasts. Not big enough to break her back, but big enough that she can land a high pay job for wearing a tight shirt and shorts.

So, a waitress at a bar, and a stallion at a smithy, no worries of disloyalty, no gossip, a friendly neighborhood. What at all would be interesting about any of that? The sex, of course.
