Wayne was not the most outgoing or friendly guy, but he was making an effort when it came to the pack. He certainly didn’t want one of his comrades, whether they were newcomers or not, to be feeling threatened and uncomfortable in the home. After all, Casa di Cavalieri was a pack set on keeping the peace and coming to the aid of those who required it, those who could not fight for themselves. It would be to spit upon the customs of the pack to not try to help this poor fellow.
Reaching the house, he made sure the door would stay open for the brown wolfdog then turned to look at him when he offered his name: Hadley. He nodded and filed this away before reaching for one of the buckets that Dixie and he had gathered from their trip to the river. They were good-sized, but he managed to grab one in each hand and gestured lightly for Hadley to do the same.
“I’m Wayne McCoy,” the Rispetto said, dipping his head in lieu of tipping his hat. A name for a name was only fair, after all, and he wanted to be called on if Hadley had any questions about what they were doing. “Four should be good enough fer now. Got a coupla buckets out already.”
He shouldered the door open again and began heading back toward the corral, breaching the silence only to ask: “So where ya from, Hadley?” His tone was brisk but conversational as he attempted the small talk, though it was less than casual for him. He did truly want to know what the guy’s story was, even though he wouldn’t delve in too deep. Mainly, he wanted to know a bit of background information to see how he could help Hadley fit in around Casa; it certainly hadn’t been easy for the cowboy, and he didn’t think he would’ve been as enthusiastic about the place if he hadn’t had his duties with the horses.
