Puppeteers of empire- Part 2

As usual she made a stop near the horse shed to give food to the wolf and noticed Malphus petting a horse. She made her way to him.

"She's new to the shed," Katie said as she stood next to him.

"No wonder she is scared," Malphus said as he touched the horse's white mane, "I had a horse myself, she was a beauty. Strong one," she heard him speak fondly getting lost in his thoughts.

"I heard Dorthy about someone really handsome working in the shed since today," she said making him grin.

"I am handsome," he said making her laugh before asking her, "How are you doing? It was stupid of you to go with the woman. I'm glad Lord Alexander came on time," he said with a frown before flicking her forehead.

"Ouch! That hurts," she rubbed her forehead, "So how are you enjoying life of a human again?"

"I feel amazingly alive. I can feel the warmth on my skin again," he murmured before giving her a smile, his grey eyes twinkling as he stared at her.
