"The hunt is both a social and a competition. There is a tradition each house can send a 'champion' to hunt for them, but the tale must be told by the noble, and they must present the trophy taken. Though some prefer to hunt themselves. It begins on horseback, but once in the forest people are permitted to move on foot if they prefer." Johr spoke casually, seeming to smile when talking about the event. "Its thrilling, but you only need to shout for help if you are in real trouble and the guards nearby will charge in to assist. There's been a few unfortunate incidents, but in general its fairly safe, a few lost champions, and one noble who followed a monster back to its lair, only to run into its mate. Dreadful, blood incident that." He shook his head a bit.<br/><br/>"Your servant?" Johr looked a bit confused at the mentioning of her actual name, but nod his head then. "Servants are allowed to tend to their master there, naturally. Just keep things discrete enough." He smirked, looking at Tehr knowingly for a moment. "Also, whoever hunts can pair up with someone else, but they share the tale and the trophy then. Some have hunted with their champion to have a more thrilling tale, too. The spectators usually camp out at the forest's edge, receiving news from the woods from the guards keeping a look on the competition just in case, though naturally those messages may be a little old by the time they arrive, compared to witnessing it at the middle of it."<br/><br/>He chuckled somewhat. "I took part once, with a champion at my side. It was quite thrilling danger, but our trophy was not enough to win that time. We did get some admiring looks though, and my wife was convieniently missing that time around." He paused, seeming to look a bit more carefully at Tehr after saying that, but clearing his throat he spoke casually again. "It can be quite a push for one's name, to be widely recognised as truely marvelous example of what nobility can do when they set their mind to it, whether through the training and preparing of the champion, or braving the dangers yourself. Some even wager large sums on it, from time to time."
