his head is just FULL of myths, isn't it?

scared as he is, he is doing well. and <3 for sascha. it does seem odd (yet fitting) to have him be able to be the very comfortable/secure/able to afford the luxury of humanity?, in this.

His head is full of stories and myths and gods and horses, yes. He's been fixated on riding since he was wee, too young to fight in the war (which his culture wasn't officially involved in anyway), and he snapped up every story he could.

Including (much to my bemusement) stories about a Very Scary Siberian Monster who didn't much like humans people, in the war.
