Pain laughs. "it was the only white horse!" pain examins binky. "you know, being deaths steed...kinda thought it would have a more..i dont know, terrifying name, more fierce.."
*laughing lightly again at his response* Many people say that when they meet him ^^
Just because we're known as death doesn't mean we need to be scary or fierce...many living people handle that for us, we merely usher the souls of the dead to where they are meant to be, no more. ^^
We tried a skeletal steed, but kept having to stop and wire bits back on, which obviously became troublesome and the fiery steed repeatedly set his barn and his robe on fire, so we settled for a living horse.
He's still interesting as Binky is intelligent, an exception to the biological rule of "grey" equines, being pure milky white, and, of course, he has his special way of flying and can channel quite a few death skills such as passing through objects and as long as he's in our service he doesn't age...but other then that he is just an ordinary horse. *she smiles brightly, stroking Binky's mane*
Dad chose his name because he thought it was simply a nice name ^^
