Despite his call Braylen had managed to still startle the poor girl. He ducked his head momentarily, tucking his ears back in a sheepish manner but she was quick to recover and so was he. Glancing out at the approaching storm he wondered just how bad it would be once it reached their home. They most definitely needed to find shelter before then, but the cooling wind was nice for the moment despite the strength in which it blew.
“Yes” he answered, turning his blue eyes back onto the young mare. “Many things actually. But there is one in particular I actually wanted to talk with you about.” Braylen said but wondered how he should put it. They hadn’t really known each other long, but with his decision to have children this season it was definitely something he needed to talk about with all of his mares. He did not want one wishing for a child just because he had been neglectful in speaking with her about it first. Just as he did not want to make the mistake in thinking she might want one when really she did not.
“Fall is soon to arrive and I have decided that I am old enough now to take on the responsibilities of children.” He said, but hesitated a moment before carrying on. “It is not something you have to do, Georgiana. But I wanted to let you know that it is an option should you want to have a child too.”
