Edit, is it ok to wait for my reply? I should hopefully get my PC back from the shop this week

@Blitz Boom Silicon again, had a bit of a identity crisis lol. 

@Califorum

Ripple would just be looking back into her eyes, gently holding her hoof in hers "whatever you choose, I will respect" she'd say to her, "O just want you to be happy, and if you'll be happier here, then I'll respect your wishes"

@Califorum

"That's nice, well I met the rest of your family" she would say, somewhat hesitantly, "we agree whether you stay here or come back with us is up to you, but I feel that they want you to stay"

@Califorum

Wraith would smile "Sure, my cabins not hard to miss" she'd say, making her way to her portable cabin.

Ripple smiles and nuzzles her sitting next to her "what you doing dear?" She asks

@Califorum

"Of course, well if you want to meet up, I'll be camping out l, about two miles from the ranch" Wraith would say to them. 

Lilac was doing some coloring in with the books and crayons Ripple had packed for her

@Califorum (Okies

Wraith would shake her head "It's a bit too early to tell right now, but the noises could be anything from teenagers being dumb or a cult" she'd say "I'm hoping it's just dumb teenagers to be honest, they're easier to deal with"

@Califorum

"Well, it's not...how does Wraith put it? Oh! It's not officially haunted, that's why she is there, to find out if it's a true haunting or somepony after attention" she'd say, waving to her friend.

Wraith waves back and approaches "Ripple'" she'd say in a soft yet commanding tone as she pulled her into a hug. "And that's right, most of the time you'll find it's a pony or group of ponies either imagining the same thing, or causing trouble for some sort of fame" she'd say, turning to the family "so far, I've not seen any signs of true paranormal activity'

@Califorum

Lilac would then smile, as she'd see her friend Wraith nearby "Oh Wraith is here, must be passing through to go to town" she'd say, explaining to the others what Wraith was doing in the area 

@Califorum

As she looks into Ripple's eyes, she'd see love for both Lilac and Maud, but also sorrow, a pain she's held onto since her husband had died while on duty. 

Meanwhile, Lilac was busy admiring the opal that Maud let her look at.

@Califorum

"I do not know ma'am, that is something we will have to ask her" she says "if she chooses to stay here, I will respect her wishes, though part of me does hope she chooses to stay with Lilac and myself"

@Blitz Boom

Silica would giggle "well now I feel silly' she would say as she watched the illusions fade away, walking alongside him "I don't see why Zebras should be looked down upon, just from the short time we've been together, I can tell you at least are a very nice zebra"

@Califorum

"Possibly, ultimately the choice is up to her" she would say "while we'd love for her to live with us, we wouldn't her to be homesick" she'd say to them with a soft smile, hoping it would help the situation a little.

@Califorum

"Well, Maud might be staying with my daughter and myself." She would say, "we both love having her around and love her, and she's expressed interest in being with us" she says with a soft, genuine smile.

@Califorum

Ripple would nod "it is, but it was also a kind of spur of the moment thing. Maud really wanted us to meet you' she'd explain to them "We aren't planning on staying long, as I still have a lot of work to do"

@Califorum

Ripple smiles "Hello sir, ma'am" she would say politely, "Limestone is right, I met Maud when we were both at the Emerald Isle" she says, explaining how they met and how much she and Lilac love having her around

@Califorum

Ripple would nod "Alright, good idea" she would say, walking up to the rest of the family to meet them" she would smile and mind herself, after all, she was in another pony's land and she was a guest.

@Blitz Boom

Silica would just narrowly dodge the living tree, "That was close" she'd say, spotting the poison joke near Zecora's just in time to pull Orchid back "Careful, you nearly stepped in the poison joke" she cautions, "and look, that must be Zecora's hut"

@Califorum

Ripple nods "Lilac is mostly like that too, she likes her own space and largely to be left alone. She also likes routine" she smiles at her "would you like to meet Wraith?" She asks "she ought to be free today'

@Califorum

Ripple smiles "Lilac will be five this year, and it's just going to be family and close friends. Large crowds and lots of nice upsets her" she'd say "she was at the point of years at the station earlier" she then smiles "but I don't want her to miss out on things like parties, so I organised a small one for her"

@Califorum

Ripple nods "You should do what you love" she'd say with a smile "And Pinkie is very proud of you, I'm sure Maud is as well.. I'm having a small party for Lilac's fifth birthday, Pinkie will be there, if you want to see her"

@Califorum

She smiles "That's good to hear" she'd say "the one time Pinkie told me about you, she said she was very proud of you, being your own business owner and being very good at it" she looks to her and smiles. 

@Califorum

Ripple just nods "Usually, Lilac is very excitable and has a lot of energy, but being around Maud seems to calm her down" she explains and would look at the rock fields "Is rock farming lucrative?"

@Califorum

"I do, though recently they seem unnecessary. Maud just has this calming sense about her. When she's around, Lilac is just so calm and happy. It's amazing" she would say to her, following her.

Just gonna leave this here.
