Aeron considered then shrugged. “Sure. I bet she’d like that better.”

Aeron swapped out Aenyra’s bridle for a halter and led her out after Tove.

She circled the entirety of the stable area and on top of the hill, then straightened and approached Aenyra. She murmured something over one of the sugar cubes and then offered it up.
