Water Horse personality
Water makes the Horse's sociability more responsive, giving its quick reactions an added awareness of mood and timing. Movement remains important, but changing course can be part of the pleasure rather than a distraction from it. The difficult edge is inconsistency: adapting easily to the next encounter can leave an earlier companion unsure whether an agreement still stands.
