Technically the answer is yes, but I've never actually had a pet, that's what he is if I name him, right? A pet...like a giant hamster with antlers. [The worst description, it's not a hamster with antlers.] Fast? Well if you want to compare them to horses, yes, they are marginally faster.

[He's not certain how to compare the Hart to any other mount he's ridden, he doubts most people have ever heard of a Nuggalope. All that is an aside once the man told him who he was.] Ah! The one who kept his face covered at all times? Quite a shame, that.
