Oh sure! Toy with my emotions, why don't you?!

I’m sorry! T^T

That's fine! I wasn't using them today!

In all seriousness, a very well done and poignant piece.

Off. This really tugs at the heartstrings.

Hey, Candle? If I was there, Anyone who abused you would meet the business end of my knuckles, especially if they whipped you. *gives you a hug*

I am extremely glad that Candle is in a MUCH better situation these days. It really is amazing he didn't lose hope during all these years of awful treatment.

How much of this did he have to take before Azura intervened?

Aww Candle has had such a rough experience. The brightest candles shine the most in dark places...

No, my poor sweet friend! :'( I wanna hug him so much. *Sobs*

You do emotions so well. Poor Candle :(

*Walks up and sits down next to candle, stroking his mane softly and offering him an apple* Hello there my dear friend. I am honestly sorry that it has been so long. *Uses a small amount of magic to heal any wounds as well as rejuvenate his body and muscles* I hope that this little bit of magic can help you my friend and give you the strength to keep moving on. I can only promise you my friend that if you hang in there things are going to get better. *Hugs candle softly around the neck, tears of sadness and brotherhood rolling down my face*

Poor guy...really does make his kindness after all of this all the more extraordinary.

I've been thinking more about appropriate songs for the major players in the universe, and coming to the conclusion that most of them have at least two - a second for later in their timeline or when their circumstances in the story radically alter.

When Candle's curse becomes more under control and he gets to know Juni, his later song is definitely Old Brown Shoe by George Harrison.
