“If only you cared as much about me as you do about your damned horse, D,” the voice was muffled against dusty fur.
“That’s going to be very hard. The horses are far easier on the eyes,” the second rider in the small caravan of two answered in a lilting tone.
“I wasn’t talking to you,” groaned the voice, tongue nearly caught up in the reins.
“Tk, tk,” Urged the lead rider confidently, shifting in the saddle and coercing the beast slowly forward.
“Are you sure? You did call my name, after all,” the rear rider, once more.
“Damnit not this again. We need to give you another name.”
“I already have a name. A perfectly good name.”
“A name that’s already in use! Chose another!”
The vampire hunter known as D ignored the conversation, scanning the upcoming debris in the swamp. It would be easy to ambush the party. He did not admonish his companions for their conversations but he did not make any indication he would be joining them.
“That really just seems like far too much hassle. Plus, I’ve lived with this name my whole life,” the second rider, identical to D in just about every way, grinned wide. His expressions and tone of voice were decidedly unlike his twin brother, but upon a glance it would take a very careful eye to find them separate entities.
“It doesn’t have to be hard,” came the voice from the first D’s hand once more, “pick another letter. There are at least twenty others to chose from.”
“At least!” The twin laughed. Ignoring him, the hand continued.
“You could be H, or T or L. Or you could combine letters. You could be DB or DT or—“
“FU!” The twin shrieked helpfully.
