This one is for Aranya
[Horas] What's a good name for a horse.
[Marie] copehagen
[Erik] Shadowfax
[Horas] Hahaha.
[Erik] California Chrome
[Marie] haha
[Marie] the horses in skyrim
[Marie] dont remember their names
[Horas] Actually I remember thinking Shadowfax had the dumbest name when I read LoTR
[Horas] It just reminds me of a blurry fax sent on a fax machine.
[Marie] it really does
[Erik] That reminds me, I need to scan something
[Marie] oh oh i know
[Marie] gringolet
[Marie] crap i made a post about this on the nanowrimo fb page ages ago
[Marie] and there were a bunch of suggestions
[Horas] Gringolet is like, what a mexican would insult a white man's horse as
[Marie] en.wikipedia.org/ ··· l_horses
[Marie] thats historical horses
[Marie] and this one is fictional
[Marie] en.wikipedia.org/ ··· l_horses
[Marie] Gringolet is the name of Gawain's horse
[Marie] so it rocks
[Erik] Gawain was a gringo, after all
[Marie]
[Marie] horas i found the perfect name
[Horas] I do love Bucephalus. Name like 8 cities after yourself, and one for your horse. And none for anyone else.
[Marie] fatty lumpkin
[Horas] Hahaha, no.
[Erik] Eight seems low
[Horas] It probably is, I can't remember the number offhand
[Marie] bucephalus is fantasy sounding enough that it would work
[Horas] Nah. A little too direct a reference for me.
[Marie] marengo? napoleon's horse
[Erik] What color is it?
[Horas] maroon...go.
[Horas] Oh, my horse?
[Horas] Haven't decided
[Marie] hahah peachblossom
[Marie] i had forgotten about that one, and i've read that book
[Marie] ooh i didnt know this
[Marie] apparently Aragorn is a horse in Norse mythology
[Horas] Maybe like a boating/river reference of some sort. Other Rhoynar plie their ships, he has his horse instead.
[Marie] Kelpie?
[Morys] How goes?
[Horas] Oh, is that the horse monster that drowns people?
[Marie] i think so yeah
[Horas] That might actually work
[Marie] en.wikipedia.org/ ··· i/Kelpie
[Horas] Yeah. A demon in the shape of horse. Good name for a tough warhorse, I think.
[Morys] XD
[Horas] Courser or destrier, hmm.
[Marie] arent you the cavalry guy>
[Horas] I am, yeah.
[Horas] So trying to figure out what type of horse it should be.
[Marie] i dont know anythign about horses but i'd have thought destrier would be more logical
[Marie] as its a warhorse
[Marie] haha and aranya is not here for the horse conversation
[Horas] Definitely for a Westerosi knight, we don't know much about the Essos stuff
[Marie] true
[Horas] Yeah, where her absurd horse knowledge would finally come in handy.
[Horas] But I think I'll go destrier
