What? He had never heard the term before, and he gives the teen an equally
bland look in return.
Vanyel made a sound and tapped at Yfandes' neck again, the mare letting
something that sounded suspiciously like a laugh from a horse's throat.
"I think this is far enough," he nodded, Yfandes stopping without an cues
from Vanyel and the man dismounted easily, leaving Yfandes as she was and
coming around to Aaron. He gripped Aaron's mare's reins. "Come on down.
I'll hitch her and we can go in. While I do that, though, why don't you
take a look around and tell me what you see?"
He just wanted a small test of Aaron's initial observation skills, but he
hardly expected anything. Not thinking Aaron was stupid, but thinking Aaron
was a bit like him when he had started - not a hunter, not trained to look
for such things. But some people had natural aptitudes and he thought it a
good idea to get a sense of that.
