[Straylor Leonard]

Straylor thanked the woman and when he reached the next guard, he listened attentively to what he had to say.

His options were limited, but the terms seemed fair. This was a military academy first before it was a merchant's stall -- no matter how much Stray would've found the latter much more convenient for his tastes. Second, he really did not commit enough time for a full fledged Skyrider training at the moment. All this he explained to the man but offered his thanks nevertheless.

"Actually", he told him before saluting, "would it be possible to visit the fields again on the morrow? I would like to watch the riders and their mounts. It should do me well to understand how gryffins are a while longer."
