The Boys remained in town for another two days, being taught how to manage their armour properly and also received some basic training on how to use shield and mace. They were also introduced to the horses. Horses come in three basic types : horses for humans, chalicotheres for humans and argonians, and segnosaurs for argonians. Horses cannot normally be ridden by argonians or dragons because of accommodating the tail. Chalicotheres are slow, need a special seat, and may look the rider in the eyes. The boys opted for segnosaurs since they were dragon compatible, and could still be ridden by a human, just as an ostrich can. Like the chalicotheres, segnosaurs are rather more versatile over food as they can feed from shrubs and trees. And unlike horses, chalicos and segnos are more comfortable to ride. By this time the town was getting back to normal, and the guards were a lot more careful in how they treated the Boys. The Baron and his three sons were now doing their best not to notice us, without giving offence. The Zacathans had been given a guide and left town.
