D is going to take another mug of tea in that case. But the request about his nightmare steed has D pause and tilt his head, his senses focused outside. "He's not too far away. It doesn't sound like he's doing anything other than walking around. I'll come down to handle him if he causes problems."

He's good at waking up at the first sign of trouble without also waking to every other little noise.

Jarem has been difficult but D doubts he would pick a real fight with Gaia, and his stabbing attempts weren't the kind of lethal attacks D had faced when they first met. Things might get a little bloody but the steed had been more polite since meeting Snow White.
