““I didn't know dragons had hair. It's like a horse's mane." Fearghus snapped. To Morfyd's surprise, Annwyl didn't shy away from her brother and scurry across the room. Instead, she laughed, leaning closer against his body. "No need to get testy. I was merely implying that your kind was really meant to be beasts of burden for us humans. Just like horses. And centaurs." "Oh, is that all? Well, I apologize, Lady Annwyl. I thought you were saying something insulting.””
