Pinkie Pie marvels at the huge number of yaks. Vast herds of them are headbutting, wrestling, yelling insults, and just being all around rowdy.
"Wow! I never knew yak politics were so interesting!" Pinkie says.
"Oh yes, yaks best at politics. Pony politics boring," Prince Rutherford replies.
"I guess I can see that," she concedes. "Why are they all fighting, though? Well, not like fighting fighting, but competing I guess."
"It tradition. Yaks compete, see who more serious about leading discussion. Yakyakistan win two years in a row now. We propose ideas, other tribes vote on them. This year very important, so we bring angriest yaks in whole city. Usually worse temper make them fight harder," Rutherford explains.
"Oooh, so what you're saying is..." Pinkie Pie says, smiling at Rutherford. "The surly herd sets the terms!"
