you're waiting for a train...

Grai was finally relaxing. They continued their conversation. Grai didn’t like wolves. But at least their bite wasn’t venomous. So there was that. He nodded.

“They did not look like they’d be coming back this way,” Grai snorted. “I can’t say whether or not they will come winter, they know we’re here. But hopefully, they’ll stick to other animals.” His thoughts wondered to Naomi and Alethi. Foals were often targets of predators. Grai looked back at his hip. “I’ll be fine. A wolf bite is survivable. Cobras on the other hand… Ever seen a cobra?” He snorted. “Be glad those guys don’t live out here.”

Did snakes even live up here?

They turn to talk of the girls.

“No I haven’t,” Grai said. “Besides Freya of course. I’ve been meaning too.” He’d been meaning to do a lot of things. Well, he’d be fine. He’d settle eventually and figure out what he wanted. “Well, I sorta remember meeting… what’s her name… the big blue one? I’ve seen her about. And there was that meeting a ways back… but I wasn’t paying much attention…”
