[Windmount Stables] A Home for Mike (Wolf)

[Sama'el Sunsinger]

"Training usually costs money, yes, though sometimes one can barter..." Sam had certainly bartered lessons in equitation and horsemanship for lessons in other things, but now that he worked for Serena, he wasn't sure if he could do that. Probably not publicly, anyway. "Though you could probably find some work in town for however long you're here. Someone always needs something."

He frowned suddenly, then approached Mike. Putting his hand out in a fist for Mike's inspection, he let the sleigh horse take his scent without fear that he would bite off a finger. Sam patted his neck, then looked over his shoulder before looking at Wolf.

"Uh, don't tell anyone I did this," he said, pulling out a hoof pick out of his pocket and kneeling down beside Mike's leg, putting pressure on his fetlock until he raised his hoof obligingly. "These hooves need trimming, but most importantly... there. If you don't keep the hooves clean, Mike might get thrush and then he could go lame if you're not careful."

He dug around expertly with his tool, working from heel to toe, knocking out a hidden stone before he stood up to pat Mike's shoulder again.

"He was favoring it," he said to Wolf by way of explanation. "He should be fine now."

[Wolf Flynn]

"Thank you," Wolf stated. "How much would you ask for as far as training goes?" Wolf seemed to be angry that he had let Mike get in such a condition. He would try his hardest to keep Mike healthy, and try his hardest to get these lessons. "Do you know where I can go to get work around here?" Wolf asked, remembering that for the longest time he had just worked for people who came to him for help and usually didn't try to find a job. "I have experience in blacksmith and metalsmith work." Wolf stated, wondering if this would be any help.

[Sama'el Sunsinger]

"Probably best you should go in and talk to Serena if you want lessons. I don't want to get on her bad side already by trying to steal business right here in front of her... But oh yes, if you are a blacksmith, you should swing by the Ironworks. They're usually looking for help. You might have some competition, though. Last season, I met an Isurian named Eanos who was looking for work too... You know how they're supposed to be the best smiths. I'm sure you could compete, though..."

He grinned.

OOCIf you want to go through the Windmount Stables for training in Horsemanship, just PM Dusk or talk to her in chat sometime. Sam could totally help, but she might also mod it for you/us, which would make it even more fun. Just a thought. Up to you.

[Wolf Flynn]

"Thank you," Wolf stated ", I will probably head over to the ironworks, but anytime you need help from me, you can usually find me around the city. I am always looking for someone to help with my journeys." Wolf shaked Samael's hand and walked off, wondering if Sam would get back to him sometime to go on an adventure. He walked off wondering if he would get a job at the ironworks, as he always loved smithing.

[Sama'el Sunsinger]

"Hey!" Sam called. "Wither do you journey?" he asked.

For some time he had felt with a surety that someone or something was meant to find him here in Syliras and start a new journey or a new phase in life. He didn't assume Wolf was that person or force, but it wouldn't do to dismiss any possibility out of hand.

[Wolf Flynn]

Turning back to Sam, Wolf was surprised that someone was interested in his journey. "I am journeying around the land to find out more about the history of my family. With my father gone, I have no way of figuring anything out now." Wolf replied, wondering if Sam had any information about it, but just figured that he was interested in his journey. "This journey will probably have a lot of things to teach me and others, and I'm sure that it will involve the histories of many people and races." Wondering why this thought came to his mind, he played it off as this was what his father always told him his journey would bring. Wolf wondered if Sam was ready for a journey yet, as he didn't know anything about his training.

[Sama'el Sunsinger]

Truth be told, Sam was not meant to live in a city such as this. Had he a clear idea of where he was supposed to go, he wouldn't have waited for this phantom Other who he imagined was going to come and set him on his path. Perhaps it was all in his mind, but on the off chance it wasn't, he would remain until his gut told him it was time. His gut said nothing now, but this Wolf wasn't leaving yet. Perhaps when he did...

"A noble quest," he said, attempting levity, but trying to hide his own troubled heart. "Well, whatever happens, do find me before you go. I've traveled around most of Sylira and some of Taldera and it never hurts to share a bit of knowledge about the road ahead."

[Wolf Flynn]

"Whenever I prepare for my journey, I will come to notify you." Wolf replied, wondering if Sam would actually go on the journey with him. "I must be on my way now, and I need to train for my journey. If you need any work done dealing with smithing, or combat training, then I am happy to help." Wolf hoped this would make Sam feel as though he could get prepared for the journey, and perhaps they could teach each other different skills that might be needed. "I will catch you later." Wolf shook his hand and walked off.

[Sama'el Sunsinger]

"Come find me when you want to cross swords!" he called after Wolf, waving. Then he pushed out of his lean and started to wander back to work. Serena didn't like slackers.
