sorry for the wait!!
Things were different, and for the male after the war nothing would be the same. His mother had returned and for that he was forever grateful. But he had been ruthless towards his own brother, unforgiving and judgmental. After Anu had returned to her Dreaming home he had been too ashamed to tell her he had scolded Cypress for his wavering and weak diligence. Though most of his heart told him he had been right, there was a small yet loud voice that said he could have been more tolerant, more forgiving. As forgiving as his mother.
Her question brought him pleasantly to the present, It took a long time, and a good teacher. A cat named Element was generous enough to teach me the ways. But it took a lot of practice. He spoke, remembering the hours he had spent listening and repeating. But all things worth doing, take time and practice. Riding, training, breaking a horse. It all took time and research and practice. But it was worth it.
While Alder dismounted with ease she fell to the ground.We can work on that. Alder spoke quickly, moving forward toward the little female as she stood after falling. He wondered if she would use a saddle, at times it was easier. If not she would need to gain more upper body strength so that she could lift herself up and off the horse.
He went to the saddle pack that Hawthorn always wore while they were out for long rides and gathered the rope that he had used during the raid on AniWaya. The thick braid had served him well there, and he was sure that it would here too. He passed it to the female, Be careful. Deep voice said softly, not wanting her to be hurt while working. She was a small female, his niece and her father would be disappointed in him is she was hurt under his watch.
