Sounds like he left behind a diamond,the Stormhorse rumbled softly, supportive, calm. Did it hurt, sure, but the past was past. Dwelling on it would do neither of them nor their relationship any good.

We all have a past, and they aren't always easy to forget. While we're being honest; I don't even know if I have kids out there, but I might. I was... a bit of a charmer, before the accident, and being nomads meant my Herd didn't stick around long enough to find out if I'd messed up.
