fill my ears with sorrow

He hadnt expected the dark male to be so comfortable. Saul remembered his first try and riding a horse, the disaster that had been. He'd been too nervous, he'd squeezed too hard and hadnt been able to hold his balance right. He'd been far too tense for the horses liking. Perhaps Scorpius just wasnt as scared as Saul had been. Still, the male began to shuffle on his perch, getting more comfortable, aligning his balance, sitting straighter and generally doing as he was told. Saul was no expert, but he could not ride well enough. He let go of the bridle, although kept his hand very close to the loop of metal he'd been hold on to- Scorpius wouldnt be able to see that he'd let go. Hermes for his part was completely happy to play lead pony and they began to move around in a wide circle. Saul chuckled softly, glancing up at the dark Anatheman every few moments to check that he was okay.

Scorpius answered his words about being in a cult pack with the obvious answer- he'd grown up in the pack and it was all he ever knew. Of course, Saul had never met a pure cult wolf before, but he had an idea of what they were like. Scorpius didnt fit his stereotype of 'cult wolf' at all. He seemed a quiet and peaceful young man, perhaps more suited to Ichika than Anathema. Saul smiled softly before looking up at him. "Still, you don't seem like a cult wolf. Perhaps the life of an Ichikan would suit you better" He offered with a knowing nod and a smile. Scorpius seemed shocked at Saul's mention of Melee and the male hid a grin. Still, the dark male did his best to cover up his surprise. It had been obvious to th agouti male that Scorpius felt something for Melee since he'd visited Dahlia not that long ago.

"Well then, you shall be shown around by her instead. It'll be good for the two of you to catch up, since you didnt get to see her last time we met."

Saul commented, before visibly letting go of the bridle all together. Scorpius should probably know how to steer the horse he was riding before Saul set him loose in the foothills. "The reigns are your means of steering Hermes. You don't have to tug on them and pull them hard- its not necessary. A simple twitch, big enough to let him know which way you want to go, will suffice to tell him. Try turning left." Saul asked, watching to see if the male became nervous at being out there on his own.
