[In the locket image, young Edgar can be seen standing between a beautiful pair of clegs. The larger one nudges his shoulder rather insistently.]

Easy there, Ravensong. It's all right.

[He looks back into the locket, trying not to look too sheepish. He is a baron, now, after all.]

So, it seems I've been given this wonderful pair. [The smaller one sniffs inquisitively at the hood of his cloak.] ...Duskwhisper, don't. [Back at the camera.] But they don't seem to be terribly fond of being ridden bareback. Would anyone be able to recommend where I might find saddles for them? I would greatly appreciate it, thank you.

[ Those were her thoughts exactly. Interesting, to be given a pair to breed and if she's fortunate, she can suck up just enough to acquire one herself. ]

Wasn't that generous of them? The token of your spire could be beasts at this rate.

I know nothing of saddles, but if they give you trouble, I know of individuals who can tame any beast to ride. They just might need the training more than anything else.

Much more generous than I was expecting. I'm not yet sure if they'll be the symbol of Spire Ten, but they are nice.

But I'm not worried about their training so much as I don't think they find it very comfortable.

What of your own comfort? That should be what matters and I suspect for a gentleman that riding bareback is...

[ Yeah, why was he even trying to in the first place? ]

Do you think they would be happier with saddles? What if they aren't?

What if they just refuse to ride and prefer to breed as they were intended?

Necromancer never seemed to mind having a saddle, but he didn't actually have wings.

Ravensong is getting used to me, so I don't think he'll much mind me riding him either way. But Duskwhisper is more likely to carry other people who might not be used to that kind of thing.

I don't intend to overwork them. I want them to be happy here.
