[It's possible Horst is the happiest person in Adstring right now. He's outside, lounging on the grass, in the sun.]

[Horst knows he needs to keep her from talking to Johannes about it--at least for a year or three.]

He found out about something I had done wrong. Something that I'm very, very sorry for--but he was still upset by it.

What did you do? There's nothing you could have done to deserve being hit.

[Horst's tone turns very gentle] He found out about the last time I was in the sun.

[That.... particular subject makes her stop breathing for a few seconds. Her fingers curl against his sides and she has to look down and away. Because it still hurts and it still scares her. She doesn't know what was taken from Horst but she's just scared. She watched him die and couldn't do anything to stop him. She couldn't do anything because he never said anything to her. He had kept all those thoughts, that... plan, to himself and she was left to watch along with everyone else helplessly as Horst greeted the sun. She doesn't know why he did it, he never told her. She just never wanted to go through it again.]

H-Horst... [She hides her face in her hands and if he still had his vampiric powers he could probably hear her heart racing and pounding in her ribcage.] He still s-shouldn't have hit you.
