It says a lot about Benedict's level of trust in Gabranth that he actually takes the invitation, stepping gingerly forward to hold up his hand as he would meeting a horse or a dog, heart pounding.

He could lose a hand this way. But Gabranth wouldn't put him in harm's way intentionally, surely.

Surely.

And sure enough, when Maric tips his oversized head forward, it’s only to bump the cold front of his muzzle against the flat of Benedict’s palm, nostrils flaring. Like any tame animal accustomed to bridling, riding and general human attention, there’s only one thing he’s actively searching for.

A treat.

“Is it not an impressive beast?” Gabranth asks almost flatly, the question itself betraying a clearer sense of admiration for the animal, rather than all his typical disdain.

Better than a horse.

"I've heard that grown men will wet themselves to be charged down by one," Bene says with a smirk, still a little uncertain, though he gives the creature a tentative little scratch right on the top of its snout.
