Alder had never lived without knowing where he was supposed to go. Of course he had become lost before, his trip into Inferni was evidence of that, but he had always know where he wanted to go. It had to hard to not have any idea, and no home at all. What would Alder do without that grounding? He feared he would simply float away into the nothing of space. It was a scary scary thought.
Now he could not help but look to Trent with a smile. He would? Alder took the words as honest, maybe even a promise. He didn't have many friends, he was a bit of a recluse and found it hard to connect with others. But he was trying with Trent, almost foreseeing then as good friends in the future. He hoped that they would be able to be. It was the first time he had ever looked to the future and saw himself being confident in another beast's company. He may even decide that Cour de Miracles would be the pack he should join. Alder would make sure to help in anyway he could.
Oddly, his confident was hit by the question of the gray and black maned wolf. Alder didn't understand why, but he felt his smile's hold slipping and he shook his head. I don't know anyone of that coloring. he replied, trying to grapple hold his smile and place it back onto his face. Trent had obviously met another friend in the eastern parts before wandering out towards the mountain. And that was a good thing, the more the merrier. RIght?
Thankfully by the time Trent spoke again the air was easier for Alder to breath and he felt lighter then he had a moment before. He glanced at the gray eyed male as he spoke, interesting in this seemingly new topic. But Alder was surprised by it and his eyes opened slightly. Alder sat up, wondering what had driven Trent to ask about mates and females. Alder had never been asked that, nor had he ever really thought about it. He had thought about love, and wondered what it felt like to fall into it. But a mate, Alder had never really seen himself with one, and simply figured it was since he was still so young. Wasn't he? Oh no, I don't. Alder replied shaking his head and even feeling comically bashful about the idea.
He had to think about his next question for a long moment. If he was to be honest, Alder had no idea. He hadn't looked at any of the females he had met as eligible or not. Was he supposed to? He wondered. One or two. He answered with a shrug, he hadn't really thought about it.
