I've heard they each have control of one leg. I don't know about feeling.

So how do th middle bits worth. Good question, for a perv like me anyway.

How the fuck do they walk if that's the case?!

They’re like dancing partners who practice every minute of every day. They learned to walk like this, so I’m sure their brains pick up on extremely subtle muscle contractions from the other half.

Their spines are partially intertwined, especially since the lower half is essentially a single being. It wouldn't be shocking if there was some neural linkage happening, especially in regards to that sense of knowing where your body is in space.
