Inquisition, and those quite not Inquisition: ( have one, tired Ferelden-born Warden who seems to be eating something? probably apples. its apples )

I'll be putting together training exercises designed to teach the basics of mounted combat within the coming weeks. If this is something you are interested in then you are welcomed to join, if not then perhaps you can still learn something to take into the coming battles we may face in the future. No sense in learning your mount isn't fond of sharp pieces of metal, explosions and a crazed grin when they drop you on your ass while bolting in the opposite direction.

I have talent with a sword, bow and bombs but sadly lack that magic spark to be of much help there. I am sure we might think of something together, and that you mages do not accidentally scare your own mounts with your colorful displays of power.

Ah... my name is Ciri, Grey Warden. You can't miss me between the grey hair, facial scar and sharing the company of only the best horse in Thedas. Her name is Kelpie, if she likes you then I certainly hope you enjoy apples. She likes to spoil her friends.

I worked in a circus with a druffalo once. ( a beat. )

Horses are what I am best with. I can't pretend to understand other mounts but I imagine there is a lot of the same workings: respect, care and most importantly: food.

[A soft chuckle, at that.]

Yeah, especially food. He'll take bribes, I know that. And while he hasn't shown himself to be skittish, we're still getting used to each other. I haven't needed to fight atop him yet, but that day could come.

Sounds like my Kelpie, the traitor. Most mount will follow who they trust but its still hard to tell how they'll react in the middle of a battle field.

[gatheringstorm]

Especially one with magic in it. [Because, yeah, mage.] The last time I tried anything while mounted...well, that's how I got some of these facial scars. Not complaining about them, but I'd just as soon not repeat it.

[ichaer]

Magic and demons, at that. ( because, yeah, the world sucks. ) Can't blame you there that's why I hope we can worked it out before anyone gets any new facial scars. There's not room in this Inquisition for anymore of us.
