Hmm...

[ It's not often that your resident Witcher comes asking for help on the network. Well, he's not exactly asking for help so to speak but he's definitely in a quandary.

Standing outside one of the spires, Roach behind him trying to graze from the earth below her feet. ]

Now, how do you get a horse up a flight of stairs?

[ Now that things seemed to have settled down and peoples belongings were no longer trying to kill everyone, Geralt thought it was high time he actually took up abode inside one of the buildings... Y'know, instead of roughing it as he had been. ]

Agreed.

[ Geralt, despite his question, actually knows a great deal about a vast variety of animals and monsters. Still, he appreciated the idea of making some kind of stable. ]

I'm not so sure. I could ask the Gods, though, I don't like the idea of their version of equivalent and exchange. Don't s'pose you know anywhere suitable?

[A small snort at that.] I've yet to meet anyone who does.

[Real charmers, the gods.]

The best choice for now might be an abandoned house near the spire you've chosen- the dimensions of the building might be odd, but at least it would be warm.

[ This guy gets it. ]

Huh... Y'know, that might not be such a bad idea. You know of any such abandoned houses? Getting kind of old, this whole roughing it outdoors thing I got going on.

[He tilts his head to the side, considering.]

About half of Delight's housing is still open. So are some of the wooden houses near the Springs, I think- but they would be less convenient. The city's small enough, but you could be separated if it ever splits again.

Thanks. I think I'll scout about then, see what I can find.

[ The conversation gets Geralt thinking. ]

Aren't many horses around here, are there? Not even any wild one huh?

[ It feels so strange. Of all the monsters and creatures that the door pulls in, it's never brought in any useful animals. ]

You know a lot about horses? You look like the kinda guy who does.

Good luck with that.

[He means it. He'd hate to see any animal out in the cold if the weather here gets any worse.]

One or two, I believe. A few hounds as well, though I think they arrived with their masters. Otherwise, the monsters and the native beasts are all I've seen.

[~~And also the Old Kingdom 'animals', but he hasn't met those yet.~~]

I do. My family was nearly all mad for horses; I've been riding since I was a child. I commanded a company of mounted archers for some years, as well.
