@the-ancient-magus sent: "You're welcome to stay with me, if you like. I'm sure it's not a castle, but a home is a home." The mention of a castle to Misty is.. interesting. However, there's no detectable malice in his offer, he simply waves a hoof at his cottage. It's... homely. Clearly created with love and having passed the test of time. It's also out of the way of all three pony settlements. //
❝ But that won't be possible I'm afraid. Even if I want to stay somewhere that is nicer I can't just up and abandoned Opaline. She saved me when I was a filly and I owe her everything for that. ❝ Thinking for a brief minute on the what if she left everything behind her all for the promise of a loving home. Misty would stomp her hoof burying down any and all thoughts of that before turning to the other pony.
❝ I don't know what games or schemes your trying! But I won't be fooled into betraying Opaline. Yo-Your one of those ponies who wants to keep her from reclaiming the magic that was stolen from aren't you!? I won't be fooled! ❝
“I didn’t say it had to be a permanent residence. Merely an offer, if you find yourself needing somewhere to rest for the night.”
His voice is a bit of a whisper in response to Misty’s statement. He would hardly demand she go somewhere she’d never been before, and leave those she cared for behind. Not when she had ponies who cared supposedly for her.
Though, her next statements make his stride slow, expression growing puzzled. He didn’t exactly know who Opaline was, after all. The era where he’d been gone had, supposedly, also been when Queen Opaline had done... Well, all of that. Probably for the best he only knew of the mare through Misty’s words, then.
“Misty, I’ll be honest with you, I don’t even know who Opaline is, beside what you’ve told me. I could hardly hope to stop her from doing anything.”
