He'd already been tired from the day long trek, the ride as the sun set was nothing short of exhausting. Kolt's sides were heaving as he gasped for air, finally slowing to a walk, despite Yorvet's repeated urges to keep going faster. If Yorvet wanted to run, he'd have to do it himself. Kolt wasn't going to get much further without collapsing.
Yorvet tsked. "You need to work out more, Kolt." he said with some noticeable irritation. "We'll get nowhere if you can't run more than half a mile without dying."
Kolt tossed his head, ears laying back. It had been more than a mile! If he had the normal nuncupative means to communicate than Yorvet would be hearing an earful.
"Already am, Kolt."
What he was thinking didn't count!
Nuncupative - spoken rather than written :oral
Added Info -"Nuncupative" (from Latin nuncupare, meaning "to name") has been part of the English language since at least the mid-16th century, most typically appearing in legal contexts as a modifier of the noun "will." The nuncupative will originated in ancient Roman law, where it consisted of an oral declaration made in the presence of seven witnesses and later presented before a magistrate. Currently, nuncupative wills are allowed in some U.S. states in extreme circumstances, such as imminent peril of death from a terminal illness or from military or maritime service. Such wills are dictated orally but are usually required to be set down in writing within a statutorily specified time period, such as 30 days. Witnesses are required, though the number seven is no longer specified.
