"see where that got you"
"alone, ditched, thrown aside"
zion
"....................."
zionsprite
"just dots?"
"that's what you do when things get difficult"
"dots"
zion
"...................yeah"
zionsprite
"you just hide behind them, hoping that someone else will fill the silence"
zion
"...................yes"
zionsprite
"and again"
"look where that got you"
"you're never good enough"
zion
"what's your DEAL!?"
"leave me!"
zionsprite
"but this is much more fun"
"you know that if you were in my position"
"you would enjoy this"
zion
"that.....that isn't true!"
"I'm better than that!"
"stop telling lies!"
zionsprite
"but you never lie"
"and since I am you"
"I don't lie either"
zion
"....................."
zionsprite
"yes, more dots"
"see!"
zionsprite
"you claim to always speak the truth, but when faced with it"
"you retaliate and flee"
"coward"
* zionsprite teleports away
← zionsprite has left
zion
"but I...."
* zion realizes that there is no one there to listen
zion
"......................................................................................."
"I tried to be a good friend"
"I tried to move one, to be better"
"but for what?"
rascalywabit
Meanwhile, you hear gun shots
zion
"they left me here"
* zion gets up
zion
"what now"
* zion leaves the ruins of her shack, taking the failed alchemization with her
rascalywabit
There is a horse nearby with a burn on his butt glaring at the sky
zion
".....................jason."
"here, come here horse"
"I still have the bandages I found for andy"
rascalywabit
He knickers hesitantly, looking at you from where he stands
zion
"you can trust me, I'm only looking to help you"
rascalywabit
He walks over, still hesitant.
zion
"come on"
"sit down"
"I'll take care of your wound"
rascalywabit
The horse doesn't sit, as the burn is on his haunch
He is by you though.
zion
I take a closer look at the wound.
rascalywabit
You look and see that it is a burn
zion
"this is going to hurt, so be ready"
* zion pours water on the burn, making sure not to stand behind the horse when she does
rascalywabit
You pour water on the burn, and the Horse seems to understand that you don't particularly mean it harm
It kicks but otherwise stays in position
zion
"............"
"I need more water"
"come horse, follow me"
rascalywabit
He follows along, innately understanding your relation to someone who he and the rest of horse kind look up to.
* zion leads him to the fountain
zion
It should be filled with cold water
rascalywabit
It is, just as the hole behind it is the same.
zion
I put his butt up against the little pond formed around the fountain.
Then, I look him straight in the eyes.
"sit."
rascalywabit
He uh..
He doesn't really know how to respond to that
So he just does.
zion
"and remain so"
"I know it hurts"
"but it will help."
rascalywabit
The horse is now sitting in the fountain.
His big dumb horse face is.. well it remains to be a big dumb horse face
zion
"I'll tell you when you can get up," zion says and sits down opposite to the horse.
On her phone, she sets up a 20 minute timer.
