*To the Equestrian's!* (Monday Evening)

*Bostrin finishes harnessing the horse and waves for Yuri to try while backing up.*

*Yuri moves forward and tries to mount the horse.*

*The horse allows Yuri to mount but once he does it walks about and refuses to stand still. It seems ridable, but difficult to control.*

"That went better than expected. May I ride around grounds?"

"You're welcome to try, but I take no responsibility if you fall."

*Bostrin opens a door to the outer riding areas.*

*Yuri rides the horse into the yard, or at least tries to.*

*The horse follows his commands well enough to ride, although it has a mind of its own. It is definitely physically better built than the average warhorse, but is that worth its impulsiveness?*

(horse has +2 PHY and STR, anytime an enemy ends an advance within 5" the horse will immediately counter-charge if able using its impact attack.)

*Yuri rides the horse back to the stables.*
"Is tricky horse, but it has personality. Is good quality in horse."
*He gives its neck a scratch.*
"I imagine this horse is trouble for you, a hard sell. I will take him off your hands."

"I can hardly believe it hasn't tried to kill you yet. You can have him, but only because I'm pretty sure that he's going to break you're neck one day... and that's good tack, it isn't free."

*Yuri looks unamused at his comment.*
"That is unkind. I am no enemy of yours."

"You're wearing the uniform of one. Mind now you have been quite civil so perhaps I should watch my tongue."

"Am from Khador, is true. Was in Khador army, also true. But I work for Crucible now, and they aren't having uniform of their own."

"You're bold to wear that uniform in this city. The Llaelese are bitter over what happened to their country. Many have weapons on their wall just waiting for the opportunity. Me though, my family comes from Cygnar. I sent my boys to the Thornwood trenches, and... I keep a sword on my mantle too."

"Is part of point. Gauge reactions. Is not best idea maybe, but I like to know. Were you soldier too, once?"

"A knight. Back when the sword knights used to ride into battle. They've replaced horsemanship with kinetic accumulators, and lightning lances now though."

"You are disapproving of modern warfare, is that why you know longer ride in battle?"

"I tried, but I'm too old to learn the new tricks. I'm a better trainer than I was a soldier anyway."

"Is understandable. Soldiers aren't always needed, but trainers are. Do you know who would be able to craft barding for horse?"

"Anyone who makes armor. There are a number of them in the industrial district."

"Ah, good good. Anyway, for horse, are you needing ownership papers to be signed?"

"I'm going to write him off in my stock papers. The Duke doesn't regulate horse ownership so you will have no problems as long as you keep him stabled."

"Is easy, good I like that. Well I will take horse home now, get him in stable. Thank you for business, Bostrin."
