"We'll see, Heidi, we'll see!" replied Sterling with a smile. Looking over to one of his soldiers sitting on a fallen log, the Dark Elf said, "Chopper, front and center!"The Drow Warrior immediately got to his feet and ran over to Sterling and Heidi. Coming to a stop in front of them, Chopper saluted the Captain saying, "Sir?"
"Chopper, I've got a mission for you. I want you to teach the Lady Knight how to ride a horse." said the Swordsman with an evil grin.
The Drow Warrior's face became horror struck as he said, "With all due respect, Captain, the Little One kicked Sticks in the nuts! Do you really think I'm the right one to teach her?"
Sterling said calmly, "You're one of the best horsemen I have, Chopper, I think you're perfect for the job. Besides, if you don't teach her, the Lady Knight will probably do to you what she did to Sticks! So I highly recommend that you teach her and teach her well."
Chopper sighed nervously as he regarded the young woman in the suit of armor.
Looking at both of them, the Swordsman said, "Well, I've got a war council to attend, so I'll leave you two to get acquainted."
Sterling resumed walking towards his tent and disappeared within its folds once he arrived.
