"Drakes?" Trying not to sound alarmed, just in case that gets translated along to some part of the nuggalope's brain but drakes, no one bothered to inform her that there are drakes in the mountains, why did no one tell her that when she was hobbling around with both a crutch and a cane? Honestly it's good Inessa is up here with her, unable to see that Araceli's bard mask has failed her completely. "A night taking up my entire half of the bed, stealing my dinner, and disgracing himself by begging as if he had never seen a meal in his life before any lady he saw after that aided his recovery to no end."

Son, why must you be the way that you are.

Most of Araceli's time so far around any dogs has been working with them on missions, and it's more reassuring to see them behaving the way Lux does; being silly and playful, instead of a hyperfocused slab of muscle, teeth, and intelligence that could tear out a throat before you could go for a weapon. "I suspect more than a few of the hounds are going to have their noses put out of joint at having something bigger than them that they can't tip over easily. The nuggalopes might not even care once they get used to being around them." Lux had been twitchy at first, then he realised he was faster than all the hounds and that he could climb where they couldn't so now he doesn't tend to bother much at all. "I'll see to putting in the suggestion for the summer months, that's when tourneys would be hosted here in Thedas, no? Why should Skyhold not have a small piece of one."
