It seemed to be a fabulous piece of good fortune that Slaiter seemed to know the answer to his questions! How helpful. It would have been quite unfortunate, and quite his luck, to come across someone that was a great deal more unfriendly. Was that not what the stories the elders had told them growing up? The outside world was a dangerous place, filled with large and hateful creatures. If you’ll pardon his French, Wilibald quite thought that was a load of balderdash with a sprinkle of poppycock and would tell them so whenever he returned. Now, Wilibald wasn’t entirely sure about this ‘Thistle Meadow’ place. It sounded rather nice but thistles did not make good bedding material. Perhaps they would be mostly covered by snow, however, or maybe the entire area was not covered in them as his mind immediately assumed. What a tragic setting that would be – travel all this way only to find himself with prickly napping locations. But if this place was big enough to have a name, there might be more spots here and there that were a bit comfier. He had not gotten this far in life by snubbing a napping spot just by the name! Besides, though he was tired and his legs were aching, it would be good to have some company if they were going to be walking for a little while longer. He was sure that Slaiter would be able to distract him from the very real grumblings that had started in the pit of his stomach. Nothing beat good company as far as distractions went! With an amiable nod, he consented to the idea that was presented to him. “What a fine suggestion! I would greatly appreciate that, friend.” And with that, a bright grin commanded his features as he looked up at Slaiter and waited for him to lead the way. Sure, this… horned fellow was a little strange looking but Wilibald wasn’t a colt any more. He didn’t jump and run away at things that unnerved him anymore or pestered the neighbourhood hunting down ghosts and gobhorses. Those things didn’t exist! |
