"Got the perfect one for you, Bonethorn."
"Seriously? I mean, okay, I'll ride a warg into battle, but don't expect me to-- hey! Get off! Stopping licking my ears-- that tickles!"
"See?"
"Grimstick, did you pick out the absolute least murder-y warg in the whole pack?"
"Not sayin'. But Willrender here isn't goin' to be a good companion for just any goblin. He wants scratches -- under the chin and behind the ears are best, but he'll take what he can get. You get wounded in battle, he'll probably just cuddle up beside you."
"Well then, who's a good boy? Is it you? Is it?"
"He seems to like you. Goregrim had cracked him over the head with a mace by this point."
"Goregrim is a sad excuse for a goblin. Great warchief, but he's just so angry all the time. Can't be good for his blood pressure. Not like you, Willrender, you sweet, sweet puppy."
"Keep your voice down!"
"All right, I'm sold. I'm riding a warg into battle, and it's Willrender."
"Good. Now, whatever you do, don't expect him to bite anybody. You just ride him, keep him line with the others, and do your thing."
"Which is what?"
"Eh? Shoot arrows at the elves, Bonethorn. Willrender won't mind that, he just doesn't want to bite anybody himself."
"Right. Yes. Violence. I forgot about that part. Who's a cute giant murder puppy? Is it you?"
"Stop talking to the warg and focus. You're going to need to learn to ride him..."
"Like this?"
"...Like that. M'kay, I'll just leave you two to get acquainted. Remember, battle's in three days."
