Yanhua
Yanhua laughed at the suggestion of betting against his own brother, and his twin answered Leilan’s joke aloud. Maybe Leilan and the others were right; the differences between the young horses born to the same mother at the same time were many and obvious, but to Yan they’d always been necessary differences. Nashua had always been a strange extension of himself really, like a second personality split apart and made whole in the flesh. Two halves of a damn unit, each one of them strong in an area the other lacked. A perfectly ‘imperfect’ being.
“You say that like you haven’t nearly dive-bombed me to death a few hundred times before.” He shot back at his brother, forgetting himself the moment. Even after months apart it was simple falling back into their old habits. Yanhua liked to wear his familiar memories like warm sweaters, and the recollections he had goofing off with his twin in Taiga are some of the warmest he keeps in store.
But Leilan’s inquiry returns him to the present, and Yan keeps his mouth in a tight line and his concerns out of his expression when he supports Nash’s training with upturned ears. So that’s the upside to the Isle, then. More stallions to really spar with. The bearded Taigan grit his teeth and thought about his own practice partners. There was sweet Lethy, recluse Owin, and the foals of past season… Yan chuckled awkwardly.
“Does relocating an ornery badger count?”
