[Avali calmly looks at the rogue, before giving a slight smile and nodding politely.]
As you wish, Forsaken.
[A moment later she lets forth a shrill whistle and her hulking beast of a horse comes trotting in, shaking its neck and snorting proudly.] Easy boy...Pay her no mind. [She reaches out to pat him on the nose, leading him to the stall just beside Celleste and begins removing the heavy armor protecting its head.]
[Shifts her gaze over to Celleste.] Don't look at him like he's breakfast. I don't like to pick fights with a fellow member of the Horde, so let's keep this civil and you can continue reading your book in peace.
Poisons? [Avali curls her lip at the book.] Nasty business, that. One slip up, a bad landing, faulty bottle cork-- and you've made yourself completely useless.
[Finishes brushing the Charger's mane out.] I just hope it will only be at a slightly inconvenient time, and not when you're surrounded by your enemies.
[She snorts.] I am not a "mana-junkie". And I'm only warning you that accidents happen to the best of us. I don't know or understand poisons and I don't claim to. But if you treat something that debilitating without caution you're inviting trouble.
[Avali leans forward in turn, hands now on her hips.]
Fine. But I bet you weren't falling apart when you were 'yay big', either, so you didn't have problems with, say, the hand holding your phial of numbing poison snapping right off.
Besides, someone showing concern is generally a good thing. You ought to treat it as such.
Somehow I doubt you own this entire stable.
Not unless you became a Bronze Dragon overnight.
Not that I mind you laying claim to it, but I do need a place for my Charger to rest his hooves.
