[ By now, the knight's accustomed himself to some of the oddities of living in this city. Most of it is still alien to him, really, but he's learning to deal with it well enough.

It's night-time by now, and it's hardly the best time to ask this-- but on the other hand, perhaps it is the best time to ask this, considering people are less likely to

Crowded. You?

..."Wild," perhaps, would be the word that comes to mind. The horizon was open wherever you looked.

Sounds nice. Me, I grew up inna city, so it were buildin's and people wherever ya went. Think I'd hate the country, though.

[by_your_leave]

Why do you say that?

[cowboy_newsie]

Cuz what's there to do in the country?

[ he considers that briefly, head tilted and ears splayed. ]

Having the roofs so close together does make traveling easier.

B| How dare he.

It is easy to believe that every expense was spared in the construction of some of these buildings. One must mind one's step. Most of it is easy to navigate, but certain points have a distressing tendency to crumble.

The more affluent sectors do not take kindly to having strangers travel on their homes, so I cannot say I can judge the integrity of their architecture.

[cowboy_newsie]

How bout I check em out one day, then, and I'll report back t'ya. 'S been forever since I been up on a roof.

Let me know what you make of it. I find that I prefer that view of the city. It seems less... [ he searches for the appropriate word. ]

Stifling.
