>>5221682>spoilerThat reminds me. Your mention of the Lances' founder having never actually wielded a lance last thread had me thinking: Is any sort of horseback hunting practiced among Strossvald's nobility and if so has Richter ever participated in any? His affection for the hunt and his family's relatively underwhelming status create a bit of a juxtapositon there.
I don't count on it proving essential to demonstrate any time soon, I'm just a bit curious if he ever learned to ride a horse, as so many noblemen and women do, or if that's another facet of his diminished nobility, like the lack in gentlemanly fencing ability he demonstrated at the academy.
