Topaz did't talk much during the journey. He was surrounded by strangers, and didn't care to get to know them. He just needed to get the money, and get out alive. He supposed these ponies were fine enough, he didn't dislike any of them, he just didn't care either way. He heard a roar from the distance, and looked in it's direction, but saw nothing. This was quite unnerving, as nothing could possibly roar that loud at such a far distance.
