[That was a valid reason. It didn't make a whole lot of sense to her, but she could accept it. She looked at the horse again who was just watching Charlie in the same calm way he did when Charlie was younger and this was somehow reassuring to the firestarter.] You're going to spoil me, just warning you now.

[Not that she minded terribly. She just hoped the next time Merlin surprised her, it didn't involve the deities. She pulled away from Merlin, squeezing his hand briefly before heading towards the horse by herself.

She stayed a couple feet away from him, holding a hand out and waiting and sure enough, Necromancer walked over, nosing her hand for a moment before looking at her. She was happy to run her fingers through his mane for a moment before looking at Merlin.]

So how curious are you as to why I said Necromancer was the highlight of my childhood?
