"What?!" Hezekiah stared incredulously at his little brother, "No, pick something else."

Josiah smiled back, an evil grin on his face, "Hey, our agreement was two hours of uninterrupted naptime for you, followed by one hour where you play any game with me I want. You had your nap and I didn't bug you, not once! Now do your part of the deal."

"Yes, you're right and I will... but pick something else - anything else - please!"

Jos crossed his arms, "You promised..." The two brothers stared at each other in silence, the only sound being the gentle and rhythmic clanking of the train.

Hez broke the silence first, "Alright... fine... I'll play that game." Hez said in a defeated tone. He closed his eyes and slumped to his knees slowly, making no effort to hurry. His thoughts drifted back to his nap, and how wonderful, how glorious it had been. Even as stowaways in a storage compartment, Hez had managed to find a nice cozy bed of hay to rest in. The hypnotic movement of the train knocked him out like a light. Oh how he wished he was back there now. As he got onto his hands and shifted his weight from his knees to his feet, he opened his eyes and said, "Ok, I'm ready. Do you need help climbing on or... hey where'd you go?"

"Yeehaaw!" A voice came from an angle above and behind him. Climbing up on one of the many nearby crates, Jos had leapt straight onto his brother's back from above. While not very heavy, the force of his landing caused Hez to buckle and groan. But to his credit, he didn't completely collapse. Both immediately regretted the action.

"Ouch! What are you trying to do, kill us both?" Hez grunted as he regain his pose. Half giggling, half grunting in pain himself, Jos replied,

"Yeah, not a good idea. Oh well, you live - you learn," he shifted to a sitting position, making himself comfortable at his older brother's expense. "Let's start!" Jos eagerly began explaining the rules to Hez, who listened patiently even though he remembered them from before and they were fairly obvious. As Jos was describing which kicks and squeezes to Hez's abs meant speed up or slow down, he suddenly exclaimed, "Oh! I've an idea. Let's put your bandana in your mouth and I'll use it like a bridle and reigns and I'll..." The little guy faltered as his older brother glared at him over his shoulder.

"You try it and you'll learn to live your life as a double amputee."

"Maybe just tugging on your neck to steer will do fine."

"Or you could just ask?"

"Hmm... Nah, steeds can't talk. Now giddy-up! I made us a fun obstacle course out of all the crates while you were sleeping."

Hez lowered his head and sighed tiredly, before receiving a kick in his gut and a tug on his neck scruff. "I said 'Giddy-up!'"

In response, Hez lunged forward suddenly, knocking Jos off his sitting position and causing him to cling for dear life. Squealing in panic (and fun), Jos desperately called for Hez to slow down.

"I'm sorry little bro, but steeds don't talk!"
