The nuggalope herd arrives

[gatheringstorm]

FORM: Sending crystal
SENDER: Korrin Ataash
RECIPIENT: OTA
WHAT: NUGGALOPES
WHEN: Slightly backdated but not by much.
WHERE: Near Skyhold
NOTES: Referencing this log. That last thread is open to anyone.

[The sending crystal may not be able to actually show the big grin on Korrin's face when she speaks up, but it carries across in her tone, nonetheless. She has every reason to be smug, as she quickly reveals.]

So, remember how I've been going on about nuggalopes forever? Well, we found the nuggalope herd and brought them back with us. They aren't especially touchy but if you don't want to be trampled or gored by their horns, I'd still suggest treating them kindly. Those who haven't checked out the stables lately might want to do so now, if you've an interest in a different kind of mount. Horsemaster Dennet still doesn't know what to make of these, poor guy.

They're also--hey, stop that!

[She laughs as one grunts right in her ear, into the crystal's range. Evidently it wanted to say hello.]

Comments

[el_tybs]

I'll have to consider that. You think they'll do alright up here in Skyhold then?

[gatheringstorm]

Oh, yeah. Despite Dennet's side-eyeing, I think he'll take to them soon enough. He'll treat them right, and as long as they get out to stretch their legs, they'll be fine. Which I'm sure will happen; we're not lacking for things to do around here.

[el_tybs]

Yeah, they are pretty lovable once you get to know them; just mind the horns while you do so.

I'm actually pretty fond of the one me and Christine wrangled up, despite it liking eating my shirt.

[gatheringstorm]

Well, maybe your shirt shouldn't be so tasty. Or, you know, distract it with treats.

[el_tybs]

Too many treats and he'll get spoiled.

Well I didn't know my shirt was tasty, I don't try eating it myself.

[gatheringstorm]

Fair enough, but I'm sure you can find a good balance.

You can always tend to him shirtless, you know. Give the rest of us a nice view.

[el_tybs]

Korrin, I didn't know you were checking me out when I don't have a shirt on.

[He's kidding. But it's ok if that is a thing.]

Seems to be a popular request lately.

[gatheringstorm]

I'm taken, not blind, you know.

And really, who else is asking?

[el_tybs]

No, but Araceli does have you pleasantly distracted or occupied often enough.

Cyril and Kirk mostly. Sometimes someone passing by the practice ring.

[gatheringstorm]

That's got to be a boost to the ego. Good for you, Sam.

[There's snuffling around as the nuggalope leans in to peer at the crystal she's talking through.]

Asher, no. This isn't edible.

[el_tybs]

... Maybe a little bit.

[It's something he is still getting used to considering he hadn't experienced much of that in the Circle.

Hearing Korrin telling Asher 'no' has him laughing.]

It sounds like you have your hands full; he probably wants attention. I'll come see you later about the warpaint.

[gatheringstorm]

Yeah, I think he needs some attention behind those wiggling ears.

Alright, stop in whenever!
