The horse had tensed with his hand, and for a moment, he thought about removing it. He snorted, Dixie moving her hand to his head instead as Thom quietly, gently moved his hand down the chestnut horse’s neck, lifted it up and repeated. She turned to him, as he did to her and asked his question. Dixie said he was doing a mighty find job. So, he slouched his shoulders, his curled tail dropping to a relaxed position. A small smile brimmed on his lips. It was nice. The horse was warm, his coat soft to the touch and there didn’t seem to be anything wrong. He took a step closer as Dixie had suggested, moving his hand down the horse’s neck then to his shoulder.
While he was pretty much in his own world once more, Dixie announced that it was time to go find her friend, for he might be freaking out. He caught the name ‘Gypsy’ and assumed it was the horse’s. He glanced towards the chestnut male in front of him, taking a step back as she mounted. “His name…?” He asked curiously. She got comfortable in the saddle and pointed down the trail, inviting him along. It was like how Markus had a few days earlier. This sudden kindness that he couldn’t understand, but he would learn from it and perhaps, be the same one day.
His head slowly nodded, walking along the side of the horse to make sure he knew he was there. Of course, if they moved any faster, he would easily be left behind.
As they reached the bottom of the hill, the forest opened into the soft meadow of grass with a lake in front. The smell and sight of smoke had him turn automatically in that direction, spying a grazing horse who he assumed was Gypsy and then the end of a hat sticking up from the tall grass. His ears pointed forward, glancing to Dixie with a curious expression.
