"Horses need time to adapt to a new environment too, right? If your horse doesn't feel comfortable there, we can always bring it back. Also..."
Alric leaned his head closer to Silas, and Silas instinctively pulled the blanket up to cover half of his face. "You're right, I should be more open about my schedule. Do you feel lonely here?"
"It's not like that... ah, not entirely."
"How about we go somewhere during my day off, somewhere I'm sure you'll like?"
"How would you know whether I'd like the place?"
"Let's say I'm a very observant person."
Alric's hand reached out once again to touch the hair falling over Silas's forehead, gently brushing it back before he finally smiled and said, "Sleep well." Then he left Silas alone in the room.
