"You might be able to find something in the wild, though. My company has encountered them before; harts or wild horses or dracolisks. Of course, I still have my heart set on a nuggalope." She flashes a grin, not expecting that will happen, then sobers as she glances around them. "I wouldn't be surprised to find plenty of riderless horses with saddles in this area, though. The civil war has definitely taken a toll here."

"A nuggalope. I keep hearing about this thing but not sure what it looks like." Sam smiles, but sobers up as well when the teasing mood seems to take a turn.

The discussion has him turning his gaze to the scene around them. "Maybe. I don't think any animals would stick around this particular area, but they're surely around somewhere." Besides the scavengers not many animals wanted to be near death.

"Somewhere further from the rifts, at least." And more often than not, the lack of wildlife noises in the area is a dead giveaway of a rift or some other predator nearby. "My company steered clear of this area, after the civil war erupted. We didn't want to die for either Celene or Gaspard. It figures that I'd somehow end up here, anyway." A slight smile, thinking of Christine. Once asked, she'd never have thought to refuse her.

"We've had to deal with the issues of the civil war elsewhere as well. Emprise du Lion didn't have any troops." Too busy fighting their war and letting the lower class fend for themselves. "Well we aren't here for either of them. Not that I plan on dying here, but Christine is far more worth fighting for then them."

"Damn right, to all of that." Korrin claps him on the shoulder, though not too hard. "No dying, not here and not for a damn long time. I'm sure Fortitude agrees." She'll do her best to back up the spirit, too, covering for her friends as only a knight-enchanter can.

Even if the clap wasn't too hard it was still enough to have Sam make a bit of a grunt and rolling his shoulder. He nods in agreement about the not dying, though he doesn't speak up when Korrin brings up Fortitude. The spirit would certainly protect him when it could, but if the situation called for it... well it wasn't a conversation he was about to have at the moment.

"I'm sure we'll be able to handle whatever comes our way. We've managed so far."
