HORIZON CIPHER

don't be fooled, i was raised by the wolves !
i'm sustained by the sound of angels singing me to sleep !

Horizon had been so lost in thought that he hadn't heard Sebastian approaching, and when the demon started talking, Horizon's head turned sharply to look at him, eyes wide and blinking. "Uh. Yeah, I'm doing fine. Just... thinking, is all." He replied, trying to put a smile on his face to reassure Sebastian that everything was relatively fine. Not really, not the fact that he felt worried just by being here, or frustrated at the fact that he was scared of water, of all thing. But that wasn't something he really wanted to admit, not out loud at the very least. He had already implied a fear when Auberon mentioned floods and he remembered how Jadeire had made a face at his reaction; he felt as if she was mocking him, or storing that information for later to make fun of him.

Fears were stupid, but in the back of his mind, Horizon knew that in his particular case, it was almost justified. It was moreso trauma than fear, wasn't it?
