[The video is of a rocky shoreline, under a grey autumn sky. A small handful of the demon horses can be seen grazing on washed up seaweed.]

[Davrin slowly lowers the camera back down, turning it to face himself. Both he and Assan the griffon, are perched on a couple rocks higher up. Out of immediate view of the horses.]

I know we're supposed to be gathering clippings from these things but... call me crazy.

[Assan lifts his head from where he'd had it balanced on his foreclaws, looking skeptical.]

- Not you. [Then back to the camera.] Anybody tried maybe... taming one of them?

[They're no halla, but maybe it'd be a good idea to have a horse around for land-based travel.]

Comments

[A different sort of frown, where he's thinking about the question.]

Nnnot so much experience as I just like 'em? I grew up in a circus and we had some, but it's been a while since I've had active experience.

[He tilts his head.] Yyyeah, that'd be what I said. That a problem?

[weisshappened]

Fair enough.

[But then...]

Killing people for money never struck me as a decent profession. [To say the least.] Just a fancy way of saying somebody's a murderer.

[Somewhere Lucanis is slowly beating his head into a wall. Davrin may have gotten over this for that particular assassin... but someone he's just met makes the feeling come rushing back.]

[laminitis]

[He sticks his tongue out, thoughtful, and then shrugs one shoulder, tipping his head into the gesture.]

Never claimed to be decent, but even shitty people have bills to pay. Nevermind that I'm from Hell so it's not exactly a paragon of decency in the first place.

[weisshappened]

So do something else.

It's just murder with a fancy title.

[We are so sorry for his attitude -]

[laminitis]

[He laughs-- a loud, brassy honk of sound, not quite mocking but nearly.] Oh that's-- that's funny, that you think I care about the morality of my job. No, no I don't think I will, I worked hard to make my business what it is. Though, if it helps you sleep at night, I haven't killed anybody in a little over a year since gettin' here.

[He's honestly not bothered, he has zero problem with being a killer for hire or with people who disagree, really. It is, in fact, murder! He's just not gonna be handing out gold stars for that awareness..., Really, his attitude is no better, just in a different direction.]

[weisshappened]

Yeah, well, good for you. A break in the murder business.

And, I mean, clearly, you don't care, otherwise you wouldn't be doing it.

[Even Assan is looking exasperated in the background. As much as a griffon can. Clearly, he'd thought his guardian was done with this whole thing.]

[laminitis]

[His mouth pulls crooked in a grin, and he waves a hand sort of flippantly.] I'm gonna cut you some slack for talking like you know anything about where I'm from, mmkay? The morality you're touting doesn't really apply to me.

[He shares a meaningful glance to Assan, but overall seems amused.] You got a name?
