It took a lot to strike fear into the heart of the coydog. He had suffered greatly as a child and, in the way of children, turned his fear outward. To be afraid was to be powerless. In order to save himself Max had become violent and aggressive. Proof of this showed in every scar, in his haphazard way of living, in each gesture and provocative gaze. Max didn’t care who he fought—he just liked to fight.
So these other methods of expelling his fear turned rage were found. Archery had been one, hunting another. Carpentry was the newest one, as suggested by his southern friend, as it not only forced him to be physical but gave him something he could, quite literally, beat the hell out of. His first projects had been simple things; this was new ground, and while he was hardly lacking in muscles, his confidence and his experience were still slim.
That did not mean he allowed it to show; his broad, toothy grin was the very show of pride that belonged to such invincible young men. “Max Klein,” he responded, and shook the dog’s hand firmly. “Horse poachers, huh?” His eyes lifted to Vesper, curious. “Guess I’ll be taking some extra patrols out of the borders” Though it was a friendly suggestion, his eyes echoed this pent-up aggression.
“The help would be great, actually,” he went on and propped one hand on his side, crooking his elbow. “I need to get them set up next to the old ones and hammer ‘em in. Then we gotta knock out the old ones. Easy enough, yeah?”
