Moments could fly by here, in the peace and comfort of a horses companionship. It wasn't like when he was around other wolves, having to worry about conversation. Alder did not fear it like he had when a pup, but of course he no longer had his mother to hide behind. She was right in sending him here, giving him the opportunity to spread his wings. They were larger then he had ever imagined, and he flew higher then he ever believed possible. Where he once worried he would fail her, he was now sure that his mother would be proud.
His smile widened, his laughter plentiful as he watched the horses run and dance. But he wasn't alone. A voice rose among the common calls of birds and the sound of pounding hooves. Alder turned to see who it was that approached and found a large timber hued male behind him. Tawny eats fell, his first instinct to show his submission to this pack mate. They had yet to meet, and Alder stayed consistent and felt uneasy around the stranger.
The nameless fellow spoke of Hawthorn, and the boy nodded his head and found his voice. He does. He returned, swallowing hard as he gathered his courage. He was a Lord, and the Marshal of these stables. He could be confident in his position. The King had given it to Alder himself. His name is Hawthorn. Alder added. The black stallion trotted towards the fence, ears forward with curiosity. Alder spoke to him, low speech's high pitch clicking off his tongue, asking him to slow down and not to jump the fence as he threatened with his quick gait. Hawthorn trotted along the fence instead, dark eyes on the stranger. He interested in meeting you. Alder explained as a long head and black nose reached out to sniff the other male.
