you'll take the town and you'll take it with style
IF YOU PLAY IT BRAVE AND BOLD, THESE ARE STREETS OF GOLD
After days of obtesting and entreating, the wayward adventures were finally going on their first adventure together. Skoll was filled to the brim with excitement, to say the least, and was raring to go out into the wide world with his trickster friend. If anyone could show him the ropes, it would be her, as she seemed even worldlier than a few of the older adults in the Court. His parents had agreed to let him go, since he was a squire now—an adult in ranks if not mind—but had told him to be safe and careful overall, and listen to everything Terra told him.
Well, the last part had been offered uncertainly, but the boy knew he would obey anyway. He’d already kept from taking Hwin out with them, even if they would make more time on horseback, but he decided it was for the best. He didn’t know how to protect her, and he couldn’t care for her properly away from the stables where all her things were. Besides, it would be cheating to have a horse on his first grand journey; he had to make it on his very own paws.
The coywolf was waiting for him at the borders. He dashed toward her with tongue lolling and tail wagging, aiming to headbutt her—although her secui form would prevent her from stumbling. He barked a wordless greeting and was about to turn in circles when he stopped and cocked his head. “Soooo where are we gonna go first?” He had a million other questions that he wanted to ask, but he was going to practice taking it slow. Everyone protested that they didn’t have time to breathe, let alone answer, between his endless queries, and he didn’t want to distract his caretaker from the lands they were about to explore.
