last night in Blue Rose the Narrator addressed my problem of "my character is a knight but she never gets to fight mounted and now she's stranded hundreds of miles from her horse" by having a sentient giant snake with a human face volunteer to let me ride her.

downside: i haven't really gotten to know Ksenia (the naga) yet but if she's much like her mother she's kinda evil and might try to eat us if she gets bored.
upside: maybe i can convince her to be a better person? i would definitely be the only knight of the blue rose to have a naga mount/companion.
