Answer: Ripple; owned by dreamwalker is Fausto's best friend. This wasn't always the case between the two.
Fausto isn't a very strong willed stallion, and he tends to get walked over and pushed around on a common basis. Especially when it comes to mares, he is frightened of coming across as rude. Therefore he will do about anything just to have that reputation known.
Ripple is an out-going and excitable mare, but on the day that she met Fausto, she was agitated over something.
Fausto simply gave a polite pardon as he bumped into her one day as he approached a creek to drink. Ripple did not take this lightly, not one bit.
The mare immediatly headed after him, unhesitant as she used all of her force, pushing him over into the creek.
Fausto couldn't even fathom what just happened, remaining on his side, eyes wide.
"You better watch yourself, all of this land yet you bump into me!"
Fausto shook his head to himself, but noticing her large, swollen belly he immediately felt a deep foolishness for not noticing earlier.
"Mam' I am very sorry, I truly am." He rambled out his apology as he got back up, though he watched her with great caution in case the smaller mare attempted again to put him back down.
"Sorry doesn't work. You're going to come help me find acorns, or I'm telling my mate." She snorted up to him, as though she had all the power in the world.
It didn't matter how or what she demanded he did for her, it was in Fausto's nature to do as told. He wanted to redeem himself, and show that he wasn't such a fool.
"Of course." He quickly responded, dipping his head in acceptance. It was odd, but he didn't mind. If it was what she wanted, it's what she would get.
They spent time looking, finding acorns that the creatures of the forest had missed, she ate them as they came upon them.
Fausto snuck one out of curiosity, finding that it was rather delicious. He didn't say anything unless spoken to, he didn't wish to be a bother.
They finished once she decided she had enough, and she further requested that he remain with her as she headed back to her mate.
Things went well, and after a number of visits with the pair he became like a part of their family, and it wasn't long after this that her filly came into the world.
Fausto was around the age of two at this time, and something about the filly just had him in absolute awe.
As the filly grew, so did his affection towards her, yet he knew that surely he would lose his friendship with Ripple if he ever showed this let alone admit to such a thing.
To this day he stays a part of their family, admiring their daughter in secrecy, hoping for the day that he finds the courage to admit his feelings towards her.
