I have a new hat.
It's red and I almost kissed Mephest.
I hadn't seen him in so long, but then he sent a letter and showed up in Elwynn. I went to see him and we were together by the water. He always says I'm beautiful. Every time we're together, he says so, and I think he believes it.
We talked about the Outland. About Hyjal. About regrets. I almost told him everything -- about Patrick, about Balthasair, about punishment and confessions and nightmares -- but I didn't want to. I need someone who isn't a part of all the mess that is my life, someone who stands outside of all that and he could be that person, for a little while at least.
Balthasair says I am his sweet little bird. He says I can fly as high as I want to, and he will be there to catch me if I fall. Not when.
If.
He loves me.
And I love him so much it burns.
