"I don't think so, she said she was going to go meet with the farrier, about something." It has been taking some getting used to, having someone so close to him all the time. Weird at first, not off putting but he didn't know what to do with himself until he relaxed. It wasn't so much that someone was close to him, someone wanted to be close to him, and that made all the difference.

He was longing for that time alone too, though for more innocent reasons. Not that fooling around wasn't something he was disinterested in.
