Rotating Leona and Jade in my head

Yuu: “Woah, what’s with that getup?”

Malleus: “Ah, apologies for not having changed into my regular uniform yet. Silver and Sebek are participating in a competition very soon, and so they asked for an experienced rider to play as their mock opponent.”

Yuu: “You ride a horse? Don’t you just kinda fly or teleport everywhere?”

Malleus: “You are correct to assume that mounts of any kind are indeed quite pointless for a dragon such as myself. However, upholding tradition entails participating in numerous, equally pointless ceremonies. Thus I have learned to ride mounts of all sorts since I was little.”

Yuu: “Right, upholding tradition is important.”

Malleus: “Quite so.”

Yuu: “Say, Hornton… Let’s say you’re a member of the equestrian club. Hypothetically. Does that mean you’ll… be forced to look like this everyday?”

Malleus: “Forced? Well, this is their uniform… So I would be required to dress like this, yes.”

Yuu: “So hypothetically… I’ll get to see your ass in full view like this everyday.”

Malleus: “??? Ass? Ah, you mean a donkey? The equestrian club does not have donkeys.”

Yuu: “Sorry, I meant horse. By the way, did you know that a student can join two clubs?”

Malleus: “No, I did not. But how is that relevant to— where are you going?”

Yuu: “I’m going to ask the headmage to put you in the Equestrian Club.”

Malleus: “Why? I am perfectly content in my own club.”

Yuu: “You need to practice your riding skills.”

Malleus: “Once in a while, perhaps. So casually joining Sebek and Silver like this is—”

Yuu: “Everyday.”

Malleus: “That is too much.”

Yuu: “You’ll get rusty. You’ll embarrass yourself in ceremonies.”

Malleus: “I am not yet demented to forget how to ride a horse after a year or two of non-practice.”

Yuu: “Silver and Sebek will beat you in a race.”

Malleus: “They are knights. It would be embarrassing to never manage to beat me in a horse race.”

Yuu: “Silver and Sebek will out-ass you if you don’t exercise your glutes as hard as they do.”
