"They don't really. I like horses because I've always been good with them. The quarterstaff though. There's a story where I'm from about the greatest swordsman in all the land. No one could defeat him. And everyone tried." He smiled down at her. "One day he came across a farmer. A fight began between them and moments later the man with the sword was on the ground. He was stunned that this simple farmer with his quarterstaff had defeated him. I wanted to be like that farmer and my da is so good at it that I wanted to be like him too. He always wins competitions with it during festivals."
