Maia pranced nervously from hoof to hoof as Saul slowly drove her up into a gallop. She tossed her head often, snorting and stamping to show her disapproval of the menial task she'd been given. The young male was fairly certain she'd accepted her fate as being the owned and captured now, but there was still a rebellious streak in her that was going to be hard to overcome. There was a rebelliousness within himself that made the male pause for a moment, knowing full well that he had no intention of squashing the fire out of the chestnut mare. His intentions right now were to wear the mare down, make sure she was good and tired before he approached her. He'd already nearly been bitten a few times in attempting to stroke her muzzle as he would with Hermes or Arete. It was best to take the safe option though.
Jovial words made him pause and look around. The grin that stretched his nephews lips was an infectious one and Saul allowed his own blackened mouth to slide into a smile of his own. He knew his nephew to be coming out of himself now that they were settled in Ichika. For the first month, the chocolate and cream boy had been quiet but driven. He was slowly beginning to get back to his usual self and Saul was happy to see the same in Eclipse. Although not a blood relation to Range in the way he thought, despite his knowing nothing of it, the two looked very similar. Hearing his nephews words clearly through the distance, Saul shook his head with a grin.
I'm having great fun, thank you. Maia's just a little... spirited is all.>
He tossed back in return, a chuckle vibrating through his body. It was good to have a laugh and a joke with his family, especially one who had been there from the very beginning of Saul's return to Dahlia in October. He got on well with both his brothers children, but he had spent more time with Range than his sister. He gestured for the boy to join him before offering a few words; Why don't you come and see how you fare against her? He challenged, a glint in his eye.
