A patron god? That is impressive. [ it gets a raised brow out of him, at least, and a glance at the kitten still in skylark's arms. they're just cats. ]

As a hobby, yes. Our horses might be similar to your cats, actually. They're well-respected in the Empire. [ more heraldry has a horse or horse-related figure on it than not ... though there aren't exactly stray ponies in the cities. ]
