While normally Gale wouldn’t approach an Alicorn-- purely because of his ingrained fears-- he’d... Never seen this one before. Never seen, but not unheard of... Least-- he thinks so. Even though it was all those years ago, back when Gale was still learning to fit in admist ponies, he still remembered. Distant echo’s of cheers-- all chanting a name he couldn’t remember. Congraduations and well wishes, that had all fell away and were amiss.
The question was one he’d realized beforehand. A child that, for all intensive purposes-- had been scrapped from history. No book nor scholar knew even a shred of information. The ones who definitely knew the answers far out of reach. A lost piece of history, looking for another piece? It was already ludicrious to think about, let alone the danger it posed. So, Gale had been forced to shelve that mystery.
-- What he hadn’t expected, was for those questions to effectively fly off the shelf, and hit him dead center. The answer himself asleep at that. Of course, there was the slim chance that this was a different alicorn than the one from back then-- but he doubted it. There hadn’t been news of another alicorn being boon since Flurry Heart. Well, least not any he’d heard about...
“I am not sure how l-long you’ve been asleep...” So, he’d approached and awoke the Alicorn before him. Thankfully lacking the trauamatic fear he held for the other Alicorns. “--or when exacty you did, but I-I imagine it wasn’t long ago. I-I only just came through here. Was on the way home from an i-in-patient appointment, so you didn’t interrupt anything of actual importance.” The friendly, yet calm smile he wore-- turned into a small frown of concern. “... I-I’d be more worried about why you fell asleep, i-if I am honest.”
