"You were right. That breed is adorable," Ling Qi said, wobbling briefly as she picked her way through the gate under the creature's impassive gaze.

Ling Nuan nodded. "It's a good breed. Highly sought. Their fleece is wind-imbued and light so they can grow it out a lot more before it starts to tear their skin from the weight. And it makes really breathable cloth."

"Definitely the proper reasons for the choice," Ling Qi said agreeably as they ascended the hill.

She gave Hanyi a nudge and a nod, and the young spirit nearly vibrated as she dashed up the hill to get a closer look.

"They are real huggable. They don't even mind much," Ling Nuan replied reluctantly. "But they have their troubles, too."

"Oh?" Ling Qi asked, watching Hanyi almost disappear into the floof, giggling to herself.

"A strong wind can pick 'em up and blow 'em around like dandelion seeds. They land soft, but they also can't get back up if they land on their sides or backs. Gotta watch 'em close. They can pick up static something fierce, too."

"That would be a problem." Part of her wanted to see it happen. The thought of a dozen odd of these big puffballs drifting overhead was strangely adorable. "Does the whole herd have these properties?"

"More or less. The more mortal sheep won't outright float and don't get as fluffy, but they'll still get dragged and knocked over by the wind sometimes. Even mortals can handle them though. Been training the herders in how to loop a floater and pull them back down."
