Just watched ep 4... wow... Things are getting interesting... *is definitely hooked* I also love Horo's character. Just everything about her ^_^.
anyways I predicted a certain person's involvement about 5 min into the ep... the ending pretty much confirmed it.
Guess Ill see if I'm right next week.

Horo is just too awesome a character. Hugging her own tail when sleeping...
The whole idea, or what's revealed of it so far, behind the currency value change seems to be pretty much as I expected. Of course it still remains to be seen whether it's really true or not and to what extent. I find it a bit hard to believe Lawrence is going to make amazing amounts of money out of it - usually heroes are poor, after all. But time will tell.
I also didn't expect them to run into trouble this soon, and especially getting caught this soon. Though it could be they will need to play cat and mouse more often than once during the series, that many times they have discussed about the importance of keeping Horo's identity secret.

I guess Lawrence won't gain anything, or he may even loose everything.
And I guess Horo is waiting for him to live those hardships. Not that she'll enjoy it.
It's just that she is 5 times older than he is and has seen so many things, knows so much about people, that she wants to know how exceptionnal Lawrence is.
Why Exceptionnal? Well nobody knows how she looks like, because she doesn't reveal herself to anyone, and when she does there's a trick.
So I guess that Lawrence had something explaining why she travels with him and he knows who she is.
So he may well be spoiled to the point he'll end up having no money. And Horo doesn't care about money... she'll just have to see how Lawrence recovers from that, that very young Lawrence that isn't yet to her level of wisdom and knowledge.
Then he'll end up being the poor Hero, but having horo by his side.
My guesses.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I sometimes wonder how wise Horo is. Not literally; I'm sure she is wise enough, but how exceptionally sagacious like she keeps telling. The scenes in this episode and also before paint quite a humane picture of her, afraid to be left behind, needing company and somebody to talk to about anything. Not like some ages old guru who has achieved enlightement. I'm starting to think it's just a part of her personality to try to appear so old and wise, telling she has seen many human life spans already. Maybe she did it partly to give Lawrence more reason to keep her with him on his travels, that is, to suggest he might benefit from her vast knowledge (that she might or might not have in reality).
I doubt its anything that complex, or intentional on Horos part. She HAS lived for a long time, and that would sufficiently explain how she acts when she flaunts her knowledge. How she acted in that episode simply emphasized the point that she made when she was about to make herself bait.
Either way, Horo doesnt really act sage-like. Its because she might be old for human years, but not so far into her own lifespan. A beings perception of things and the world greatly change in relation to what point they are in their life, not just the amount of knowledge that they have.
Peace.
I'm 90% sure that might be Chloe at the end.
yup i think that is the case.
+1. I'm just thinking, how would she know though. I guess introducing yourself to everyone as Horo isn't the best idea.
Wasn't Chloe apprehended at the end of... the first episode? She might not have needed to tie all the loose ends by herself. Although it'd still be pretty peculiar unless Lawrence and Horo have been travelling in circles. If their route has been linear at all, I wouldn't have thought they would have yet gathered enough attention unless somebody specifically knew about her and was looking for her even before she joined Lawrence.
Motion passed.
It would explain why she is being helped into the carriage by a priest in the OP. I had previously thought she was being put into it for her deep role in the first episode's pagan festival. That would make her a heretic after all. The question is how she became an agent of the church now.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say she has become a convert. She appeared to not honor the tradition by sneaking out of the barn in an attempt to seduce Lawrence into marriage with her, but she still gladly participated in it.
We clearly see a priest "rescue" her from the barn at the end of the first episode, where she was hoping it would be Lawrence. Horo and Lawrence are not exactly traveling by the fastest means, and we have not seen Chloe in some time. Plenty of time to..."absolve her of her sins." In the grandest of Inquisition styles.
...Or perhaps I've been reading too much Berserk.
One thing bugs me. I thought Horo was planning to hide her ears and tail for a day. Wonder what happened.
I forgot to add, I have never wanted an OST so badly since ARIA, possibly ever.
It all meshes perfectly and sets the mood and tone of each scene perfectly.
The haunting OP, all the stuff in between.
Just not so much the ED. I'm not sold on that yet.
Horo, o my dear Horo. Up on C2's level in only four episodes.
Seconded there Ryllharu; I need this OST.
"One thing bugs me. I thought Horo was planning to hide her ears and tail for a day. Wonder what happened."
Yeah, seriously?
In order to do a transformation of any kind, Horo has receive a sacrifice (eat the wheat grains). Perhaps before she had the chance, her form was discovered.
It makes me wonder though...who in the church managed to see her real form? Except for that tail wagging during the apple scene, she seemed to have kept a low profile. It seems like there's more to whats happening here.
It's Chloe that love-scorned wench!
Yah thats what I was getting at in my post lol....
You speak blastphemy.

Seconded. Damn convert.
She's a close second though.
Peace.
I don't know how Chloe has been involved.
However, regarding Horo being discovered, I guess it was when she showed a part of her true form to Lawrence. They were not alone at the time maybe.
And I guess that when she shows her true form, or at the time when she transforms, she the "magic" that dissimulates her does not work.
The thing is that Chloe was in the barn at the time if I'm correct, so it would have been someone else.
Or maybe Chloe eavesdropped at some point of the story, when they were still in that village.
