The sting of his wounds coated his mind, but Lionheart shoved those away as he stared intently at this smaller breed. His ears flicked a bit before they shot forward as the horse spoke twice, his voice catching in Lionheart’s mind and making him pay attention instead of allowing the pain to hold him hostage. His light colored frame wanted to take him under the sea of pain, but he held onto the life raft that was the leads words and found himself letting out a pained, but content breath.


“I seek a home, one where I can grow and maybe have the chance to prove I am able to handle myself and others if needed.” Lionheart had a big heart, a strong mind, and the will to do what was needed. He wanted his own family, to be able to take care of others. He was not sure who all was out there like him, but he would not force himself to go searching for them either. He wanted to be happy first and to heal, a family could come later. For now, he wanted to just prove himself and his first step towards that was the bow his injured body gave to the horse before him. “I will do anything you need from me Sir.” He would not rise from his bow until Helios gave him permission now that he knew who he was standing in front of.
