You tell Blossomforth that she sounds like quite the free spirit. You are reminded of your dragon friend Smoke, who you believe she might have a few things in common with.
Blossomforth: “With a dragon? I don’t know about that. Maybe it’s just something most winged creatures feel.”
You ponder that thought for a moment, yet can’t imagine Moonflower being by herself for long. Back to the subject of travel, you ask the pegasus if she has ever gone on a boat, or an airship.
Blossomforth: “I’ve been on an airship once. It was a special occasion; one of my friends who’s a Wonderbolt got me on a zeppelin cruise. It was fun, but a little too fancy for my taste. I’ve never gone overseas, though.”
You mention that you have, but it didn’t take long before you were boarded by pirates. Fortunately, you were promptly rescued.
Blossomforth: “Really! If that’s how it is, then I don’t think I’ll be trying my luck anytime soon.”
You chuckle at that, and continue chatting with Blossomforth. Although you both share a love for exploration, you find that while you would sooner venture out into uncharted wilderness, she prefers the peacefulness of well-tamed nature.
You spend an hour or two sharing all kinds of stories about the places you’ve been, and the things you’ve seen, until finally, your two younger friends return from their activities with lunch in hoof.
Apple Basket: “Whew! We’re back. Mind if we join?”
You take a moment to introduce your companions and Blossomforth to each other. Then, the exhausted pair climb into the seat across from you, and begin to eat a well-deserved meal.
Though fresh out of the shower, Apple Basket looks like he has had a long day already, while Moonflower seems far more relaxed than her usual self, likely still basking in an intoxicating afterglow. You playfully commend the colt on a job well done.
Apple Basket: “Heh, thanks. I was startin’ to fear one of me wasn’t gonna be enough.”
You tell Apple Basket that you wish you could have helped. Then, you add that if it comes to that, you can always lend him your ring of clone.
Moonflower: “Oooh… I’m likin’ the sound o’ that! Heehee…”
Blossomforth: “You make it sound like you had to sit this one out. Did something happen?”
You tell Blossomforth that you were injured in battle during your journey, and that you were told not to exert yourself physically for a few days. And while you have been feeling better, you’d like to make sure that you’re at your best before trying anything that could set you back.
Blossomforth: “I can relate. I always seem to find new ways to get scrapes and bruises somehow, so I’ve started bringing magic bandages with me, just in case.
If you’re in a hurry to get better, I have a few to spare I can offer. But I have to warn you, they’d probably knock you out for the rest of the ride.”
