Coeus was happy to be acknowledged by his large friend. He still had few allies within the pack of Casa de Cavalieri and to be accepted by the hybrid overjoyed him. It was also refreshing for his interest in books to be accepted and even regarded with interest. Though he knew Hadley could not read, a story in a book could still be told with an interesting air. Marching forward from his position on the outside, he entered the home. It was a comfortable place, needing of repairs and upkeep, but becoming more and more livable. Coeus enjoyed his own room greatly, but would enjoy the solitude of a home some day, maybe with a special someone or a family.
The thought of it made him warm inside as he ascended the stairs to where Hadley was. "Hello!" He started, a smile on his long maw. "The place is really coming together." His orange eyes scoured the room and focused on the railing that he was working on. It was fine work, far better than his own clumsy fingers could master. Then, he remembered the book that was clutched in his cream colored paws. A very nerdy grin sprouted up, "You know, I'm available any time you want to learn, Hadley. Such books as these are quite the interesting. I've learned all about the 18th century! Most people would consider it very dry reading, but these creatures that are illustrated in the pages are very humorous in their actions."
A quiet laugh rose form him as he recalled the pictures from the artists and the decisions they had made. With him spending most of his time simply wandering and enjoying the summer warmth, he had ample time to philosophize about the choices that were made. If he was bemused at first, he would come to merriment after some thought and would question them even further for their stupidity. The wolf's laugh tapered off, as he watched him, "Is there anything a clumsy wolf like me could help with?"
