Being a loner wasn't easy for Layla. She had grown up in a rather large pack of close dogs. Her new life was past insanity in her family's belief. Why would anyone want to leave the top dog pack everyone wanted in? They would never understand her or her need to do this. She felt lonely, sure, but she also felt independent and almost noble for pursuing her dream. Layla would have joined a pack a month ago, but she was too indecisive. She didn't want to make the wrong choice on something she held so high.
Liliana tried connecting with Layla, telling the young femme about her parents. Layla nodded, "Sounds like a nice childhood." What was she supposed to say? She abandoned her family and was living a lie? No. Talk about her false past and wolves being sucked up into a tornado? No again. Thankfully, Liliana ended the awkward moment for her by introducing her 'horse Companion'. Layla pondered inwardly what the female meant by that. The nickering sound it made as it heard its own name was pleasant on her soft black ears.
Before Layla could give an input, Liliana continued, telling her about the horse Companion race. Layla was paying complete attention. Slowly, Layla relaxed her muscles. It wasn't prey anymore and it didn't seem to want to bring her harm. What the horse-friendly woman told her confirmed her suspicion that she had ridden Grace here. "Wow, I had no idea. It's very nice to meet the both of you," Layla said, back to her normal happy and friendly self. The nervousness slowly went away.
"So, you ride the horse Companion, Grace? Why would she let you do that?" Layla was sincerely curious. This horse riding idea was innovative and extremely impressive to her young mind. Liliana mentioned Grace was still wild. "That would mean that I best not touch Grace then, yes?" she asked. Now knowing that these horses were not for eating, Layla soften to its presence and she wanted to feel its noticeably soft orange-brown coat.
