You do not. Not by me, and from what you have told me, I do not believe by your dam.
He tries not to show his disappointment, but the way his wings and eyes drop ever so slightly probably wouldn't escape his quick-eyed father. Raul's guarded look works to discourage his son's curiosity and he doesn't ask for details. In the few months he spent with his dying mother, he had never challenged her. He had obediently fallen silent with only a look form her dark eyes, and he had learned to read her when words were difficult. Even in her weakness, she had occasionally had a temper (or maybe it was heightened by her misery) and his compliance had saved them both the discomfort and wasted energy of conflict.
But his sire was not his dam, he knew, and he takes a breath before working up the courage to bring up one more topic which he had been putting off. Raul only wanted the best for him, but still, it grates against the colt's nature to oppose the wishes (even unspoken ones) of his father.
"Maybe I'll meet some of them soon then," he begins. " Soon I want to go explore some of the other kingdoms and herdlands, maybe one of the islands or the pampas..."
Hearing the words out loud her grows a little bolder, the idea finally seems to become real.
"But I was just worried it would be hard to find you again."
