"No, not so much the shyness. More the loyalty and compassion, even after she got a hard time from all sides back in her world." Blaze explains this quite casually, adding with a chuckle, "Even if you don't demonstrate it on the battlefield so often. But yeah, she calls herself Angel. Got a few things in common with Ghost that way, too."

And Paladin, well- Blaze's tone says that she's already rather fond of the Tiefling warrior. "She's pretty great, isn't she? Only ran into her once, but we got a drink and she told me how she fought a chimera once. You know she actually killed one?"

"What name did you pick?" Ghost asks at once, all curiosity. "I don't really know what he thought, but I think perhaps he was curious. He didn't shy away like the other horses I've seen. He just took a good look at me."
