Severus enjoyed horses. They didn’t give him the same attitude he got from a lot of other animals, like crows. The crows were always watching him, doubtlessly sending word back to his mother. He hated the way they always looked down on him with their beady little black eyes, judging him for his lack of strength in Optime form. He often dreamed of killing one of them, but he knew that he would get in a lot of trouble f or it. Maybe he could get one for a pet, a crow he could condition to like him and in turn change his prejudice against the scavengers.
Horses though were another story. They were strong, graceful, and held an elegance about them. Severus wanted to be all of those things, feared and respected, strong and honourable at the same time. He didn’t want anyone to sit on his back and take a ride or anything, but still, he couldn’t fault the horses for that. So it was often that the grey prince was found around the stables, whether they be the ones still in the caverns or the new stables that had been constructed in the village. Normally he preferred the latter, for the dark and damp caverns made him uncomfortable, but something drew him there this time.
Maybe it was the female he found sitting with a crow, holding paper. Severus trotted over to her in his biped form, giving a soft bark to let her know he was behind her. In these caverns, you definitely didn’t want to up and surprise someone lest they whirl around and stab you, thinking you were an intruder. Carefully, and avoiding the crow perched on the girl’s shoulder, to crouched down and glanced at her drawing. It was good, way better than Sev could do, and he glanced over it admiring the artwork.
“Hi.”
