Now I can’t stop imagining Boscov wearing a full suit of undersized armor.
Maybe I’m getting a little closer.
But one step at a time.
Not every problem has a happy ending, Strawberry.
Thank you for trying, though.
While a positive way of looking at things, it doesn’t change the fact that one less school means one less place offering me work if I can’t find it elsewhere.
There is no silver-lining to this.
Right. There’s plenty of schools in the area. This wasn’t even a school in Ponyville.
Oh no! I didn’t lose my job! I’m just not allowed back at that particular primary school!
It’ll just make it slightly harder to find work.
You violently spin around and start yelling at Princess and Namy! They know where the Magical Ring is, and you demand they tell you!
Namy takes a few steps back, but Princess rolls her eyes and walks on by you. She’s evidently getting tired of you. You get the feeling she doesn’t believe the Multiple Personality Disorder ruse either.
You ask the two if either of them have seen a locked door anywhere, though you don’t say why. They shake their heads.
You wisely decide to let that second thought slip on by. Neither of them seem the type, and you don’t want to get in trouble.
Sorry. Went to bed before I saw this.
It’s… Well. The main part is sort of… Well, not resolved, but I feel better about it anyway.
That’s nice that you wanted to talk about it, though!
That last two days haven’t been so good for me.
But sitting here with Boscov; this makes up for it.
You look the weapon over again with a frown. The talons on the end are just as sharp as a griffon’s, only much stronger. Factor in your advanced strength and you wouldn’t even have to try to kill somepony with this. You weren’t really thinking of using this as a weapon, were you? How could you live with yourself if you ended somepony’s life?
And yet…
You don’t have to use it as a weapon. The claws are stationary; maybe you could use it to scale walls, or cut rope. You’re reluctant to abandon the object entirely, as it could be used as a simple tool.
