[CLOSED]

Who: Levi and Vivienne
When: Vaguely forward-dated to whenever the Heroes return to Caissa.
Where: A decently well known stable.
What: They're technically allowed to keep whatever they can feasibly tame as mounts, but there are at least two people who are happy with a simple horse.
Rating: PG-13??

[It isn't that Vivienne's afraid of taming larger animals (though she would rather them dead at her feet, that much she wouldn't deny). No, Vivienne has much simpler logic: she just wants to be like the man she looks up to. It's all rather embarrassing, really, so if asked, she'll simply say she's fond of horses.

Y'know, even if she's never been in close contact with one in her life.

The stable master's led her to his selection of horses, front of which, she now stands. "All bred to perfection!" he claims, somehow assuming Vivienne knows even one thing about the animals standing before her. So for now, she steps forward to touch a hand to the nearest horse's muzzle, admittedly a little tense at being before such a large and powerful creature, and it shows in the way she touches it - uncertain and needlessly cautious.]

[ A fondness for horses may be more accurate to the person at the stables nearby. Though certainly, he isn't hoping to emulate anyone... From the experience of learning their mannerisms, after all, and from learning how to ride, the last thing he wanted was to become a model soldier. But now that he has the experience to begin with, it's long since dawned on him what respectable animals they are. The best kind to have, if he's looking for a stable mode of transportation cities away from Caissa and back.

It would be easy to assume Vivienne thinks the same, but then, observing the behavior of beats and people wasn't so different. You could take both down when they showed weakness; and she's apprehensive. Levi snorts, although the creature seems to take her touch rather well, all things considered. It shuffles its hooves nervously.

Don't be rude. [ Stepping over from a few stalls down, he strokes the horse's neck. ] This guy's eyes are on the sides of his head, you know.
