~~"I am haunted. Though you seem to be too."~~ I am quiet for the longest time after he speaks. It is more than what I had ever expected to hear him say. The words are still not many but they say more than what anyone has said to me in the longest time. It is my turn to stand silent. I blink at him as though he had suddenly spoken to me in another language. "No-one-else-has-ever-noticed--" The words jump from my lips and I can hardly keep up with them as they stumble over one another. So many emotions course through me that I can hardly speak. I toss my head and look up at the sky while blinking frantically trying to hold back tears.

Once I feel a little more under control I lower my head but I can only meet his eyes briefly."I am haunted by what could have been but never was." Of all that I have met recently why is it Timothy who has so suddenly tore my walls down? Why had he noticed my hurt? "I was abandoned as a foal." I start to end my words there but I have never truly spoken with anyone else about what plagues my mind and now I cannot stop. "And my heart was defective." Once more I plan on ending my words but someone has noticed my pain and I want to confide in him. I want someone to know me.

"The God of the Sun; he healed me, but his good deed was not out of pure kindness. He would only fix my heart if I moved to the Dragon's Throat. In moving to the Throat I also had to leave my adoptive mother and father." But the god had not taken things like that into consideration. I swallow. "I have been alone since but what scares me the most about that is that most of the time I do not mind." I am now thankful that my drenched forelock hangs in front of my eyes. Tears wobble on the edge of my lids before they plunge to the steaming water. Perhaps Timothy will only think that they are droplets of water coming from my wet hair.

"Can I help you?" My voice is hoarse with emotion, "Surely I owe you something after making you listen to all of that." A self depreciating laugh tumbles from my lips. I start walking towards him. The water ripples as I walk kissing my sides. Could he and I find solace in one another?
