The brush ran through the dark stallion's mane, every once and while getting caught on a tangle which then had to be carefully worked out. "How do you get all these tangles in a couple days?" Drogon looked sidelong at his luperci companion, the look in his eyes as if to say "what?". Haven just shook his head, smiling. He was constantly surprised at the personality that emanated so obviously from the horse. It sometimes made him wonder if elk and deer were the same way. The hybrid had never bothered to get to know one. They had always been food in his mind. He had never thought of horses as food and perhaps that's why he was more able to connect with the mustang. Whatever the reason though, he was glad that he had him to depend upon. Not only was he great company, but if it weren't for the increased speed that the Knight could travel at when riding him then Firefly would have likely died from her encounter with the Dahlians. Remembering that day made a tension shoot up his spine. He would make those two pay for the lives of the pups they had ended. He hadn't forgotten his promise.
The howl that suddenly flew through the otherwise silent air startled him and he dropped the brush which clattered noisily onto the stable grounds. "Princess?" he said aloud, looking to Drogon. He hadn't seen her since she had come to his house, distraught after confronting her mother and finding out the woman was pregnant. All the thoughts he had had about his feelings for her while he had been comforting her that day sprang back into vivid life and he could feel his heart skip a beat. A blush came to his cheeks as he stared off into space before being nudged not-so-gently by the stallion. Drogon motioned with his head and then snort. Oh, yeah, he needed to go meet her. Patting the horse on the neck he took off from the stables at a dead run, not wanting to keep Princess waiting any longer than he already had.
By the time he reached her at the borders he was winded and had to lean down with his hands on his knees to catch his breath. "H...Hey..." he said between panting breaths, smiling sheepishly up at her. When he looked back down and saw her bags though confusion crossed his features. "Wh...what's...all this?" he asked, chest still heaving.
