In reply to Viktoria d'Lodovka (msg # 40):
"Well you chose well, Lady Viktoria. This was the horse that belonged to Happs, one of the bandit commanders. Happs took a lot of pride in his mount, and stole a very prized one, brought up from the sands, where the sun beats bright. Endurance, speed, and trained for war."
Lolli ran a hand softly across Vik's steed, looking back at Vik
"The only other warhorse I've seen is Henry's . . . pardon my lady, Lord de le Maistre's horse. A fine and strong steed, to carry a warrior into battle. Certainly a fortunate find."
She then turned, briefly noticing Bai's watching before addressing Vik
"Either way, I thought you should know, since you've been riding it like a common pack mule. All due respect."
