Now, Wilibald had heard about strange coloured creatures, of horses with horns sticking out of all manner of places and even some with wings, but did he expect to come across one? Not even in the slightest. He had just experienced a little bit of a stomach pain, which usually meant that he was either a) hungry or b) about to experience something very odd. He was usually hungry of course and he had not experienced very many odd things so far in his life, so one might forgive him for being surprised when he found out this was the ‘odd experience’ sort of stomach pain and not the ‘you’re hungry again, old boy’ pain. But, his dear mother had raised him right and no matter how strange this fellow looked that was no excuse to not go over and greet him properly before continuing on his way. If he was going to balk at the first sight of something different than he really made a mistake on leaving home, didn’t he? Wilibald was made of stronger stuff than most, he liked to think, and even for someone tall… and green… and a little ghoul-ish, he was not going to go with that instinct that was popping him. Everyone else he knew would have taken one long look at this stranger, nodded, and then turned around and left quick as their little legs could take them. But not him. As he stayed, though, he rather wished for a nice heap of fresh apples to help calm this turmoil in his belly but there would be no apples for some time to come. “Hello there sir, and good morning to you.” He called out in an amiable voice, warm eyes narrowed, taking in the strange sight before him as he waddled over a bit closer. Not too close! Tall strangers were always worthy of being wary about, even if you had made up your mind to be polite. A cheerful smile appeared before long, he always did rather love pleasantries. “I’m Wilibald, son of Hamfast. Wha– sorry, um - who are you?” Well that wasn’t a very polite little slip-up, but hopefully it would go unnoticed. |
