`` Here's a fun tidbit for you. This is where some guy got excommunicated and split up the Greek Orthodox and the Roman Catholics.'' 
 
 `` That's relevant to something, I'm sure,'' Sarah replied, idly splashing a hand into the fountain. 
 
 Terra gave her a dirty look. `` We fly to Istanbul, we've got a historic monument in spitting distance, and you do n't even wan na hear random Wikipedia facts?'' 
 
 `` I did n't say I did n't want to hear it.'' Sarah kept splashing her hand in the water. `` I just like this fountain, is all.'' 
 
 `` I have a fountain exactly like that immediately outside my home, Sarah.'' 
 
 `` I know. I just like this one.'' 
 
 Terra realized she was n't going to win the discussion and gave up, pocketing her phone. `` Okay. What is it you like so much?'' 
 
 The question took her by surprise, and Sarah stopped skipping her hand on the water to try and formulate an answer. `` Well, the lighting is tasteful...'' 
 
 `` That is n't why, is it?'' 
 
 `` No, it's just...'' Sarah stumbled over her words, as she always did. `` It's not mine, y'know?'' 
 
 `` Lots of things are n't yours.'' 
 
 `` No, ugh!'' Sarah gave Terra's dirty look back. `` You see the coin down there? In the water?'' 
 
 `` Yeah, I do,'' Terra confirmed, twisting her head to look at it. `` Do n't know the denomination.'' 
 
 `` Well that's not important. It's just... somebody threw that in there. And wished for something. And we're so far from home, that... I just ca n't imagine *what. * It just... makes me curious. About them.'' 
 
 For several minutes they sat in silence on the edge of the fountain, staring down at a single coin. The weight of a stranger's wish kept their eyes away from the monument, and it seemed for a moment that it really was more important. 
 
 Then the moment passed. `` Come on,'' Terra urged, standing up. `` Let's go inside and have a look.'' Reluctantly Sarah was lead away, wishing only a moment longer to understand; then the bustle of Istanbul consumed her, and the wish faded from her mind.
