Amuné didn't like Ethan just because she thought he was Ydran -- it was far more than that.  Yes, his supposed race played a role, but he was a Magi, like her, and he reminded her a little of her father, and he'd helped her and tried to keep her safe.  The child trusted him.  He was kind, if a bit naive, and he tried to do the right thing and help people.  He was a good person.

"Maybe Cecil can ride in the cart too," Amuné suggested.  "If he doesn't know how to ride then that would work, right?"  She stared at the Machina when he asked what a horse was.  "Horses are big animals that do all sorts of work, and you can ride them," the girl said matter-of-factly.  "They have manes and tails, and short fur everywhere else.  And hooves!  Horses have hooves, but their shoes aren't like people-shoes.  Horseshoes are metal."

"Thanks for helping Cecil, Mr. Norman," the girl added, giving him a smile and a wave as the group exited the shop.  She was glad Nymira had shot down the idea of splitting up.  "Um, but I shouldn't get too close to the horses with Wyth, so I'll stay outside the stable."  The owner wouldn't appreciate it if she spooked all his horses.[/color]
