There was always something to learn about, the world being so big and all. It wasn’t easy for him to always accept these new things, accept that he hadn’t learned yet. Again and again it happened and though Alder liked to learn he was so very easily overwhelmed. The swan had taught him something very important, and though he would continue to try to talk to those around him, even if it was just a little chatter, the bird had told him that he wouldn’t always be accepted in these trials. Some would like him, other wouldn’t. Some would ignore him just like the little song birds, while other fear him like the swan. Alder didn’t think himself to be anything that was scared, not understanding fully that his timid gentle personality did not mask the big rumpus body that he owned.
This new idea that someone could travel over water was another mind boggling thought. He looked out onto he lake, trying to imagine it and finding him mind empty. Ghita began to explain and he looked up at her, ears against his crown and eyes pools of dreamy blue and filled with wonderment. All of these things were new for Alder, a boat, the sea, something that ran on top of the water and battled waves. The only waves he had ever seen were on the lake, and nothing that a boat runner could be frightened of.
He didn’t know what to say, baffled and in awe at her story. It was unreal, and he looked back to the path in order to gather his puppy thoughts. Black tinted paws stepped carefully over the uneven ground, still not noticing the uneven gait of the wolfess beside him. And just as he could accept any oddity that might come from her walking Alder accepted this knew understanding of the sea, after a little bit of thought. Dids you see a whale? He asked as he looked back up at the female.
