Please let me know if anything should be changed Wink

Alder was not forgetting Crimson Dreams, or the family that he had left there. He was not used to living here and calling it home, it wasn’t yet. But he was accepting it, and learning the ways of the new territory and beginning to grow comfortable. Of course the stress that had been placed on his new pack lately did not help with his transition or with the questions he had for those in his past home. He would visit them soon, to see his mother and brothers.

But for now the boy had new tasks to complete and a new purpose. It felt good to put his body to work, the Optime form coming in handy as he moved mountain after mountain of snow. The male was tall, taller then most, and broad shouldered and thick in just about every way. His arms worked through the clearing the snow tirelessly, and the group the day before had done a good job rescuing the horses in the stables. The boy wished to stay, linger a bit and see the creatures that he enjoyed so much. The old Marshal’s words about horses had stuck in his mind the day they had met. Alder wished he were here to help them, and drifted towards his horse as if being close to her would bring the young male close to him too.

He stood in Lumière’s stall, the roan hued mare would give birth soon, any day according to Alder’s thoughts. Something told him so, something in her eyes spoke to him. She was still as he took the brush and glided it over her short but thick coat. She was worried, uncomfortable, and eager to see her foal. He could tell, almost hear the thoughts when he listened to her whinnies and snorts closely. Alder spoke back, whispers that softly reached her ears. You’ll see her soon. he reassured her, the mother seemed convinced that she would give birth to a female. Or maybe it was just Alder’s imagination. Maybe he was simply going insane, but he felt as if it was the most meaningful conversation he had had in weeks.
