May your past be the sound
A half-grin slanted his face as he thought on her words, amused and oddly chuffed that he had managed to echo the horse's thoughts. It was something he had longed for since before he knew he wanted to be a vet, the ability to relate directly to the animals he admired - it was heartwarming to be told in some way that he had managed to achieve some semblance of just that.
Chuy was an open book, more than happy to share his tale, no secrets to hide. He welcomed her curious questions, more than happy to illuminate more on his past, on his journey to here. When he had first arrived, talking about it had been a way of coming to accept what had just happened to him, being torn from the only world he had ever known. Talking about it now was just another way to share, to explain what some might consider were his quirks and mannerisms (delayed understanding of gods and magic as an example).
"It's alright," reassurance came as he noticed the flush that coloured her cheeks. "The portal dumped me in Halo. The transition from my homeworld to there was… pretty startling actually," he chuckled at the memory, a thing that seemed so long ago and yet was barely more than a season ago.
"I've since been made Chief of Agriculture though." He added a bit absentmindedly, like it was an afterthought, a comment to assure her that he had found his feet.
Watching her move the gear and begin to place it, he nods with a smile and a gesture to a wayward strap that had managed to tangle beneath the harness. "Yep, you got it, just mind the strap there - don't want to pinch her when you go to tighten it up." Once the harness was in place, he picked up the next piece, and offered it to her with a playful smirk. "Remember which buckle this one goes with?"
