I did not realize how tense I had become until I was able to relax. My stance softens on its own accord whenever the stallion is able to breathe. All is well that ends well. "I am Faeanne." I watch him as he watches me. Both of us silent. I wonder what he is thinking.

He rises with such suddenness and with such a snarl that I shy away. It is only now that I wonder if it was better that he had not noticed me. I think back to the way that he desperately ate the berries and his ragged appearance. Am I alone with a stallion gone mad? I am taller than him even if it is only by a hair. I thrust my chest out, ruffle my feathers and hold my neck higher to make the difference more apparent. It would make more sense to take flight but I am curious about who he is still. If I flee it will only be something else that I will never know.

My worries are for nothing. He still does not acknowledge me. The closest he has came to doing so is by painting both of us with the berries he had eaten moments before. I gulp and look up and away from my more colorful than usual pastern. Somewhere among the stars I find my voice. "I helped you!" I trot behind him and slide on wet ground to the mouth of the steaming water.

Standing in the hot spring and I wonder if it helps in heating my anger, "You could have died." Surely something contributes to how easily the anger springs forth. Something has to have made it easier for words to fall from my lips. Maybe having someone throw up on you puts you past the usual social constraints. Now it is my ears that flatten against my neck. I do not know what sort of response I want from him but anything would be a start. In a fit of anger and frustration I kick mud at his white body. I will keep him busy. I will dirty him as many times as I have to in order to get some acknowledgement. It is childish but my two years leave me at not being much more than a child.
