Her frowned deepened, "I do not like being lied to, Sinthos, I have done all that I could to be honest with you."

"I cannot bear the thought of never seeing you again, Firebolt." His gaze moved to the rug, "But neither can I bear to be the cause of your sorrow and confusion..."

Now she reached out to comfort him, "I do not want to upset you for cause you pain, but I am scared...for the first time in my existence I face uncertainty."

"There will be no uncertainty, Firebolt. If I cause you to change, and you do not like this change, then we cannot see one another." He brought her hoof to his lips and kissed it, "Our stars are not aligned properly, my dear. It was not meant to be."

She frowned and pulled her knees up to her body, "That doesn't feel right either..."

Sinthos wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "Then we shan't do that either. I want you to be happy, dearest Firebolt. Even if that means sitting here as we are now for the rest of time."

"Why do you care so much?" she asked again. That still eluded her - one of many things she could not comprehend a the moment.

'I do not know. It is illogical for me to care so, isn't it? But I cannot deny what I feel."

"It is more than unusual," she said softly. "I am not the most care inspiring type...I'm not even like you, I'm not flesh or blood but metal...cold circuits..." And for the first time she felt herself truly regretting that.

"That is not what I see. When I look at you, I see someone very much like me. Someone who has chosen a lonely path to keep others safe, someone who is one of a kind in this world. And I think to myself that perhaps she would be a good friend, because maybe she can understand some of the things that I have gone through, or maybe she has been through them herself."

"Perhaps not," she sighed. "That still doesn't explain what's happening to me." She stood up and began to pace, "In the woods with that hunter...I shot her in the back, that's not like me, I confront my opponents head on...and then just now..." She shook her head furiously, "I Don't do that...I've Never done that...I've Never done anything remotely like that..."

"Could someone have cast a spell upon you and you not know it? Or perhaps there is some sort of family trait that is just now surfacing?"

She shook her head, "Spells I'd recognize..." And family traits, there certainly were a lot...
