Dernis nods thoughtfully. "That's good. We'll have Eldren start working with you. Do you have any experience with riding?"
"A bit, yeah."
"Zariana will probably want to work on you some with that, then. Any other skills you want to add? We have people who can work with you on just about anything."
"Zariana will probably want to work on you some with that, then. Any other skills you want to add? We have people who can work with you on just about anything."
"Well, ah--riding a dragon would be pretty cool, too," he adds sheepishly.

Dernis smiles. "Of course. But I mean other skills you have now."

Dernis smiles. "Of course. But I mean other skills you have now."
Azril thinks for a moment. "I... don't really have a lot of skills. I mean, I can forge metal into tools and weapons... but other than archery, I don't really know how to use weapons."
Dernis smiles. "Of course. But I mean other skills you have now."
Azril thinks for a moment. "I... don't really have a lot of skills. I mean, I can forge metal into tools and weapons... but other than archery, I don't really know how to use weapons."
Zariana interjects. "Being a Rider isn't just about fighting. Obsȃr could always use an extra hand around the smithy, if you're interested."

He perks up. "I'd like that."
"All right," says Dernis. "Tell you what, why don't I show you around Paladeen now, introduce you to the people you're going to need to know. Then you can start your training tomorrow."
"All right," says Dernis. "Tell you what, why don't I show you around Paladeen now, introduce you to the people you're going to need to know. Then you can start your training tomorrow."

"Sounds good to me!"
"Okay. We'll head over to Eldrin's training ground first."
Dernis nods to Aretgarlja, and the blue dragon peers down at Azril. "Walk or ride?"
