He gets the distinct impression that perhaps this stallion is as wary about Volterra approaching him as the beast was about doing the approaching. This could well be a short meeting, if neither of them are the sociable type. It keeps better company than most, says the other male of the stream; Volterra gives a small snort of amusement. He is quite inclined to agree - a steam will not answer back. "You have a point there." The goliath looks away for a moment, contemplating the stream in question, before glancing back to his companion. The stranger asks what has him out and about so early, and the giant hesitates a moment before replying. It would seem....antisocial of him to admit that he left the herd in order to escape from company, which inadvertently thrust him into....well, company. So he simply shrugs his powerful shoulders, glancing between the other male and the surrounding landscape. "The confines of a herd can be rather, well, confining sometimes. I needed some space, and to clear my thoughts." This is as close to the truth as he can get without directly confessing that he finds it hard to be around other horses every hour of every day. He is a man who is used to his own space, having had the freedom to go where he wanted for the first three and a bit years of his life. Now he has to share his favoured grazing and sleeping spots, now he has to help other herdmembers rid themselves of their flies instead of focusing on his own; it is selflessness that he is unused to. He will grow used to it, though, of that he is quite sure. It is just...difficult. He needs to adjust if he is ever to claim the crown he so desires - he has to adapt to survive. "And yourself?" Smalltalk is not usually the giant's style, but he has little else better to do today, and perhaps it will do him good to socialise with somebody outside the Throat. |
