"That is what  I meant, you do not know anything about me. It  seems I keep embarrassing myself with words.  I just feel a little strange around  a  man  that is all. I had felt that  way around males since  my uncle did what he  did to me. The only male I really trusted  was my adopted  father. I felt  comfortable  around him right away, why I do not know."<br/>She felt very silly, and wondering what he must be  thinking. In her mind, he  must  think they are a bad  match. That  she  was  a bad  person for hiding the truth of herself. Now she got herself into a bad  situation for hiding that. This assignment would be  hard, yet  really any would be that  wouldn't it? Was she expecting easy?<br/>"I mean, the fact  I lied...do you want  a different  dragon  now? Someone that is brave. Someone who doesn't have  these  issues?"<br/>It  seemed he  must think she thought  they had  a romance! That made her  even more  embarrassed. Yet, she could not read his mind. He  may not be  thinking that.<br/>She then bent over  for him to climb up on her back if he  wanted to  do that.<br/>"They  didn't know I had  the problems  I had. I blocked myself from any mental intrusions. My mother  taught me  how  to  do that. I thought  I could handle my past  better I guess. I didn't know  that  this place  had assignments like the one you describe. If  I had  known, I would of told them  the truth before. I do not want  my rider  to get in trouble because  of that. I promise not to lie  anymore, and  tell you the truth from now  on. OK?"
