His mind stored every drop in voice, every whispered thought, and silent gesture. It was not lost on him that there was some deeper tale to tell about this sense of abandonment, and the colt’s detest of it. It wasn’t that strange though. One such as this one couldn’t have too many friends among most happy go lucky fillies and colts. Even when he was younger the child had had a sense of…difference. And though Rexanna clearly loved them, it wasn’t returned as clearly. To feel the one person who actually understood him, betray him. Even if imagined, which he didn’t think it was entirely so, could be quite a wound. The loneliest man in the world is not one who lose their 10 close friends, but the one who loses their only one.

The name was one though he almost didn’t catch. Ru’in. He’d never heard such a name. It wasn’t unusual, Helovians seemed to spawn more children than rabbits these days. Yet he carefully filled the name away as the conversation continued.

A vibe rattles from his companion which interrupts the conversation. Haldir’s bravery was wavering. Though the gold had turned slightly away, he lets his head tilt back just enough to see the hyena….crouching. A whisk of his tail is subtle but a strong clue. ”Hold.” He whispers through. The deer snorts at the crouching predator in another bluff, and a dark mist was beginning to swirl about his crown. Even the gold’s hand was on the handle of his magic, and then-The dog whines and drop it. Attention turned elsewhere for the gold, but Haldir let his head drop slightly, and his heart raced inside his chest.

It was hard to finish his most serious piece given the colt’s reaction. The puffed chest, the proud gaze. Even before he opened his lips, the gold could see the words seeping in. Like a snake of a worm they bore into his thoughts. As the hoof strikes out in defiance, the grin returns quite happily. “I didn’t think so…” It was a whisper, and he nods to the reaching for claims. Nods in agreement and acceptance. A willingness to help. When his head rises again, it’s with a spot of mischief. “Then it is time to prove it. Time to return.”

But it seemed there was something still unsettled for the colt, and the gold is patient in waiting for it. He would not push the colt anymore today. What he finds is quite a surprise. A minotaur? What on earth would the colt be doing with a minotaur? He finds it almost humorous, but not as the colt might worry, impossible. In fact… “A worthy target...,” he mused. “…though perhaps this Ru’in might need more of your attention.” Yet the last comment comes as more of a concern. Another weak link revealed towards his twin. Honestly, if the colt would be any use, he’d have to shape him up a bit. The gold says nothing though, letting the confession trail off as he steps forward with the youth. He passes Haldir, saying nothing, and follows on. To the Edge. All with the biggest Cheshire grin you can imagine, because not only had he found a lost colt, and his ticket into the Edge, but also a new project. As they walk through the hedges his more chipper voice speaks. “Perhaps now’s the time for a few of those lessons you asked for…”

Haldir watched them go, and his eyes never let the Hyena. It took ever skill in his bones to not flinch as he heard the sickening crack of the antler being ripped from the carcass. As they headed out the stag never let his moon eyes leave the predator, only after the mist had swallowed them did he dare exhale. It felt like he’d been holding his breath the whole conversation. Quietly he stepped forward to the poor shredded creature. Not known to him, but he’d seem them enough here to call it a distant relative. His antlered head falls to the bloodied head, and his steamed breath rolls around the one that looked so like him. Some version of a last rites. Then the stag turned and walked on to follow his bonded, his heart heavy and tense.
