James grinned up at his mentor and huffed gently, "Ari, I think. He gave the idea, at least. But I will! To both the collection and the rock. Thank you."

The horse (for he was nearing his full size by now, nearly 16 hands in height. He was certainly tall, and growing into his features, though his face was still vaguely coltish, with big eyes and a small nose. Innocent.

"Rest sounds good... would you be joining me or is this where we part ways?" he asked, definitely not opposed to company (or a napping buddy).

James smiled and trotted after Pride, his head low as if to remain shorter than Pride for as long as possible before he couldn't deny his height anymore. Hanging onto the simpler times of his youth. He watched Pride lay down and followed him to the spot, turning around a few times to get a good position before flopping down right next to Pride and laying his head on the other's shoulder, sighing rather happily as he stretched out each of his legs and took up as much room as was physically possible.

"I will," he said, before closing his eyes and letting silence overtake them.

And with that... he settled down to nap.
