Maenyc wandered slowly around the city, inhaling the fresh air. He was glad that his father had let him go off to do other things early. At this time of day the city was always bustling with activity and he loved the sight of it. His light brown eyes searched the crowds for a new person or perhaps an old friend, he wasn't picky. But meeting a new person had always been a thrill for him as was asking questions. Which might explain why he loved to ask people who he had just met lots of questions. Sometimes this wasn't possible because the person got mad at him, and the two ended going their separate ways. A frisky horse pawed at the ground and then jumped sideways, making the young stableboy who was holding the horse almost lose his grip. Maenyc stepped to the side and continued walking. A smile appeared on his face as he remembered the days when he had worked as a stableboy before working for his father all of the time. One time when a horse had reared up and tried to break free Maenyc had purposely not fought the horse so the animal would run of and he would have to go and look for it. That way he had the chance to go exploring while looking for the horse. Sure it had been a dangerous thing to do but back then it had sounded like a great plan.
I can't believe how much I've changed since my youth. If I were handling a horse that tried to bolt today I would say soothing things to the horse and try and calm it down. But, years ago I didn't do that and now I know that it was a very dangerous thing to do. Plus I used to think that growing up would be a bad thing. Now I know that it isn't because as you grow older you gain so much wisdom, plus you get taller. He thought happily as he continued to slowly make his way though the city.
"Today is a beautiful day and I'd better enjoy my free time. Father might make me work all day tomorrow or he has some new chore for me to do when I get home." He said, pondering on what had made his father let him leave early today.
((Sorry, my muse is a little off today again.))
