Pets are pretty rare and valuable, nowadays. Plus with a horse, you'd need somewhere to keep it and get food and equipment and stuff, right?
[Not to mention, there would be nowhere for a horse to run; rural areas have largely been abandoned to automated agriculture, with most people living in urban areas.]
A machine is way easier to maintain than a living thing.
[A pause. Jeez, Olympia doesn't have cars at all? He'd heard their level of tech was higher than Wyver's, but he's only visited infrequently, due to the whole holiday ball pin fiasco]
Uh, do you know what an engine is? Basically a car is a metal box with an engine and you steer it from inside so you can go places pretty fast.
[Not that Kagari's ever been allowed to drive for real, because life is Cruel and Unfair]
Like, way faster than on a horse. It's a less complicated version of those ships we flew from the station to El Nysa on a couple months ago.
