Emerald asks if Barber wants to know what Ruby has been up to since he met her.
“Come on, she doesn’t want to hear that.” Ruby says turning to Emerald.
“Who knows? Might be good for a laugh.” Barber says, smirking at Ruby, who blushes.
Emerald keeps an eye on Pip, and makes sure to tell her not to interrupt her story. Pip agrees with this, and listens with rapt attention to the filly telling the story.
Ruby keeps trying to downplay her part in a lot of their adventurers, but Emerald will have none of it. He makes sure to explain just how important and pivotal she was to their quests.
“I see. A giant, undead mechanical squid, did you say?” Barber says, clearing not believing too much of their adventure so far.
“Yeah…” Ruby says, scratching the back of her head, “Oh! And check it out, I got a new knife!”
She then unsheathes the blade and presents it to the mare.
Barber holds the blade up to her eye as she turns the blade over and stares at the point. It’s so close that Emerald is afraid she is going to cut herself on accident.
“If half the adventures you have partaken are true, I would suggest getting a better blade than this. Or at the very least, find a better blacksmith.” Barber says, handing the blade back.
Ruby smiles up at the mare.
