With a smile, the reddish male confirmed his suspicion. He introduced himself as Oak then went on to ask if Alder was being good—a question that might have been answered sarcastically and playfully if Skoll were older. However, it caught him off guard to the point where he could only answer honestly. “He’s good! He works with alla the horses.” He wagged his tail to show what he thought about that particular profession before taking some time to look the wolf over more carefully. Other than his eyes, his coloration wasn’t very close to the dark-masked male in the Court. He did have dark paws though, and a muscular form—one that was biggish, but much shorter than Alder’s towering height.
Skoll smiled a bit toothily, wondering how Oak and Alder interacted as pups or if Alder used to be a troublemaker, and that was where the question came from. He would be excited to tell Alder that he’d met his Dreamer sibling, of course, and maybe tease him depending on what he learned.
“I’m Skoll Haskel!” the boy replied promptly, for once neglecting to add his rank or his father’s name. “Didya come to see the boat?”
