"I have a question." Silas gripped the blanket tightly, his cheeks turning red because, if he thought about it, what he was about to ask was rather embarrassing, almost as though he were being too confident about himself, but even so, Silas still opened his mouth and decided that if he was simply getting ahead of himself, then he would just have to endure the embarrassment later. "The stable... that one that was recently built and is almost finished... do you want to keep a new horse or..."
"Or?" Alric raised an eyebrow, a playful smile beginning to form.
"Or is it because of our conversation about my horse that time?"
Silas bit his lower lip. Yes, he had said everything now, and after this, whatever Alric answered, his curiosity would finally be gone.
