Eris is by Kiri!

Agriculture was no new thing to Eris, though she paid pitifully little attention to it while in Eterne. What reason had she, daughter of the Kimaris, to bother with the concerns of the petty folk? She remembered donkeys well enough, and cattle -- great, strange beasts with vast horns and hulking bodies. Chickens, too -- the pesky things were everywhere, teeming in the streets. But deer? She had never seen a tamed deer before, except for Reykr's elk -- and that was a strange kind of elk, too. The dark-furred woman mused on this for a moment before looking toward Isabella. Curiosity was written plainly on her face, pricked ears cupped toward the mottled woman.

Can deer be tamed in such a way? Reykr has a sort of deer that runs with him, but the creature appears to understand it's not intended for dinner. The dark-furred woman appeared contemplative, and she shrugged. Horses are too valuable to eat -- a shame, since they are so large. Eris knew, however, how long it took to breed a horse -- perhaps deer would be the same, and they'd have to capture more wild ones to supplement the population. Larkspur would have known these things.
