Aldric's journey to town hall was cut short, partly by the yellow deer that went streaking past him and partly by his running into his father. "Good morning Father." He looked at the somewhat scrawny boy following behind his father, he didn't quite know who it was until he got a good look at him.. "Laciel, good morning." The blacksmith's son, he wasn't as hardy as his mother but he had a fine aptitude for knowledge, something Aldric greatly respected. Knowledge is power, his father always said.
Aldric cocked an eyebrow at his father, "That was a cobalt deer? I knew what was odd but I didn't think that's what it was. The creature went running by a moment ago." He cursed himself for missing the opportunity to catch the beast. If he had just been a bit more perceptive he would've caught on that it was a cobalt deer and made some effort to catch or at least follow it.
Still, it was a bit late for what ifs now. All Aldric could do was focus on how to catch it now. To which his father pointed to Laciel saying he had a plan. "Very good, what did you have in mind Laciel?"
