Léof was tying the horses down in the aisle when Javan trotted into the stable, although Léof noted with approval that he slowed upon entering. Léof wondered what had brought Javan back, whether he had needed something or liked horses or simply assumed that Léof would prove more interesting than whatever it was Saeryn and Medreth would have to talk about. He suspected that while it might be a combination, it would be more the latter than the former two.
Half-waiting for Javan to begin a conversation, he began to unsaddle Medreth’s horse. When he didn’t, Léof offered up a question, “So do you have any other siblings, besides Thornden and Medreth?” He glanced over the horse’s back at Javan as he asked, and realized that he was still just standing there as if he weren’t quite sure of himself. “You can sit down over there if you want,” Léof offered, indicating the ledge where Linduial had sat watching him just a month ago. “Of if you’d rather, you can help by unsaddling your horse.”
