2948: Concerning dragons

[Vladim]

"Maybe it was a change in the place they lived?" Offered Gramtyng. "I mean, horses are very useful in wide open spaces, like the stretches between the mountains and Mirkwood, and down South, but in the mountains or in a forest... Well, they're not much good. Hounds are great for trackin', guardin', and huntin'... Every farmstead usually has em, no? Ward off wolves and the like. The needs of the people changed, and so did the sorta things they raised." He turned to look at the trees around him, breathing deeply of the forest air. "...Cant really say they made a wrong choice. Everywhere offers somethin' good. Out on the plains of the Mark, on a clear day, you can see for miles, and the way the grasses move, its like a sea..." He shit his eyes for a moment. "Mountain air and forest air's very different, but when you breathe it, its like you've had a strong gulp of liquor... Intoxicating." He opened his eyes again and nodded, smiling: "Yes, the Brown Wizard would probably know - maybe it'd even be an interesting subject for him, seeing how he cares for animals."
