Henry was coming down to the nursery barn to see Caelus pretty regularly now, even though it had been a few weeks since he was assigned the Granian foal. But he was still excited about taking care of him and came to see him pretty much every day after classes. He knew winged horses took a lot of work and care, and he wasn't completely sure how much care he was getting from Professor Wayland if he didn't come down often since he figured the professor was relying on him to take care of the animal.
"Hey, Caelus," he grinned as the little horse greeted him at the opening of his stall. He wondered if he recognized his footprints or his voice, or if it was something else entirely, because it seemed like he was almost always waiting for him when he got there. "So I was thinking we'd go for a walk today." He had been reading up on when he'd be able to fly and when he'd be strong enough to accept riders, and he knew it was quite a while for that yet. But it would be good exercise for him to get out of the barn and take a walk.
Henry grabbed the appropriately sized harness and reins from the storage area and spoke to the baby horse soothingly as he told him what he was doing while he put them on him. Once everything was secure, he led the foal out of the barn and onto the grounds. The air might have been crisp, but it wasn't a bad day for a walk. He slowly led Caelus towards the lake before heading back, telling him all about the day he had.
A twenty minute walk seemed about right to Henry and he led the Granian foal back inside his stall when finished and removed the harness from his head. "I bet you've worked up an appetite after all that exercise." The prefect made sure to prepare the feeding mixture and gave him his meal. He watched him eat for a few minutes before deciding it was about time to go. "I'll see you soon, buddy. Time for me to leave." He still had some homework to finish.
