kidding around

"Well, I was trying to make a carbon copy of Minoth," Mythra gestures, unimpressed, to the Flesh Eater standing bemused beside her, "for Addam to awaken, but it seems like I just...made a carbon copy of Minoth for Addam to awaken. To the left."

It's impossible to tell where horsehair roancoat ends and where leather-hide boots begin (which is rather a morbid thought, then, but perhaps this is the happiest way it could be turned about). The skirt, tiered and pleated above unostentatious but still-scandalous garter belts, doesn't do much to cinch at a waist that's all withers, thick and solid.

"Is it a boy or a girl, do you think?" wonders Addam, posing the question to Minoth. Though he tries to ask it politely, reasonably, there's something patently stupid about the curiosity, and the just-born Blade knows this. "It's not."

"Well, well...how serendipitous."

"Casualidad," Minoth remarks, rolling his eyes via quirk-ed brow, but as Mythra points out, "No, actually, that's you."

"Azzar... Minoth, don't we know a bard named Azzarn?"

"You think I had an affair with a goat? You've been reading the classics, my prince!"

One of the things Minoth marvels at most about his...kin, such as it is, is the way Azzar stays so upright despite the minimal surface area of its hooves upon which to balance. Minoth himself has become practiced at slinging his center of gravity low, between firmly-planted hardly-pronated boots on the ground. But Azzar just...stands up. Just like that.

It's in the course of studying this natural impossibility that Minoth discovers another of Azzar's equine traits: that it startles easily, and often. Harmless, he thinks, to stand behind the Blade and just take a gander, right?

But then he clears his throat and the hooves he'd just been squinting at come rising up into his face, immediamente.

There isn't time to think or speak - if he does, he's sure he might spit out a tooth. And he won't yell at Azzar, even in petty consternation, because that obviously wouldn't be helping his cause.
