Korrin here. I'm changing things up when it comes to offered classes, just in time for the new year. Introductory Qunlat is staying put, because everyone needs to learn how to swear creatively in a new language. [Or, you know, be boring and take it for more practical reasons.] But in addition to that, there are two more that I want to mention.

The first is The Care and Feeding of Your Mount, with an emphasis on nuggalopes since they're still pretty new around here and Dennet wants to stick to his horses. I'd be happy to work with anyone who wants to focus on dracolisks or harts or whatever, too.

The other class I'm taking up is Alchemy: Grenades, for all your explosion needs. Crafting will be in the Undercroft, but the practical portion is going to take place outside Skyhold, for obvious reasons. Seriously, it'll save your ass to know at least a couple of the more common recipes.

If you have any questions or have a weird schedule of your own, let me know and I'll try to work with you. Or pimp your own classes while people are listening.

They, uh...

[They aren't the most dignified of names, somehow for some reason he feels like Alistair might be to blame? He sighs.]

Have you ever heard of possibly giving someone a more formal-sounding nickname? Because if your name is Burp or Potato, you deserve a better chance in life.

[Okay, that has her snickering.]

Who named them, a four-year-old? Hell yeah, give them something better than that. Even if they're absolute shits, they're still griffons. Thedas hasn't seen them in forever. They need something awesome.

Exactly, they need names that command dignity and power, not something so childish. Couldn't you see me on a griffon named Storm or Tempest or Blight-Killer, or... any number of names? Not upon one named Butterball. Even that dead rifter had a fearsome surname, Highwind, was it? Highwind. [At first, it creeped him out, then it annoyed him, but these days he even feels a random kinship with the man he'd never met. Maybe he's been spending too much time with Rydia and those ashes.]

Hopefully I can rectify this matter if I earn one of their favor.

You...want to name yours after a dead rifter you never met?

I mean, there are worse names, but.... [Still, it's weird.]

If it weren't for the fact that we share a name and other traits, perhaps it'd be more unusual. But I feel a certain... bond to this poor unfortunate soul.

Anyway, it's a good sounding name, a worthy one for a creature of the sky. Better than something large and majestic reduced to being called Flea.

I can't argue against that. Flea, what the fuck....

Though does that mean the griffons have been divided up yet?

You see what I'm saying? They deserve so much better than that.

It's the griffons who will make those decisions, it's not up to any of us. None have made that bond yet, but it's likely a matter of time.

So, they're kind of like mabari. Beaked, taloned mabari that can drop you to your death.

Yes, you can think of them in that way. That makes them sound even more appealing, too, especially that last part.

[Look, Kain can't help it, he enjoys living dangerously.]

[She snorts at that.]

I thought you'd only feel that way about something if it was draconic.

What kind of Warden would I be if I didn't have a soft spot for griffons as well?

[And just... anything to get into the sky... That's what appeals to him most of all.]

Fair enough. Just don't fall or get your fingers chomped off. Wardens still need those, I've been told.

You don't need to worry about me, I've got everything under control.

[More or less. He is a Kain, after all, so who knows...]
