"Why is it too risky?" Fearing the that something bad is happening, Somnus opened the door. "What is going on?"

"You need to come out, you know I can't go in there. And judging by how Calti is acting, something seems seriously wrong."

Hearing this scratching, Somnus noticed that something could be seriously wrong. "Ruby! What is going on in there?"

Somnus mumbled to himself. "Maybe that dragon from earlier should've killed me. That's the only thing I deserve." Although no one was meant to hear it, there was a possibility of it being heard.

Somnus didn't say anything after that. He just sat down and stared at the ground, he had didn't even have it in him to go anywhere else. The lack of hoof steps made it easy to tell that he didn't leave. He was simply too saddened to bring himself to go anywhere.

Somnus didn't understand her language, but he could tell that she was telling him to leave her alone. "Ruby, I'm sorry I never meant to hurt you." "I got too caught up in helping you and I didn't consider what you were saying." He clearly felt horrible for upsetting her this badly.

Somnus decided to knock on the door. "Ruby, are you in there?" Mixture of emotions could be heard in his voice. Sadness, regret, and concern for Ruby. He seemed more worried about Ruby being okay than himself.

Somnus had no idea what to do at this point. He decided to go look for Ruby, he had to fix this. Where could she be? After thinking that, he heard a roar and went in that direction. He went over to the door and waited outside for Ruby to walk out.

What Ruby just said to Somnus simply destroyed him. Maybe he went too far. He didn't know if he should follow her or not. The only thing he did was lay his head on the table. His mixture of guilt, sadness, and regret kept him from doing anything else. All he could do is hope she would come back.

"I never I said that you owe me anything! And as for protecting the treasury, you and I both know that you don't care about protecting anything about Equestria. You only chose to do it because you want free things, that's just shameful!" "I could've easily left you in that treasury, but I didn't. Wanna know why? Because despite the fact that you don't care about me, I actually care about you!"

Somnus was referring to eating ponies, he had no issues with her eating animals. As for Ruby getting all angry, it was Somnus' turn to lash out. "Just look at yourself! You have zero respect towards others unless they do things for you! Do you honestly think we owe you anything? That treasury live in, do you honestly think that we owe you any of it?" "Many ponies have been nice to you and tried to help you and what did you do? You just brushed them off as if they were nothing!"

"Well, we can't have you biting heads off ponies. The moment you do that is the moment the guards bring out some cannons or Arrow. If that happens, I may try to help you, but I likely wouldn't be able to."

"Then that's something we'll need to prevent. A lack of value for life can become a danger to others and even yourself." This gave Somnus more reason to help her. He did NOT want something to happen to Ruby.

"I mean your outlook towards others. What if you started to despise others to the point of wanting to destroy them? This could be a danger to yourself." Somnus didn't see her as bad, he was simply bringing up the other side of her logic.

"Even if it were the case, it's better than continuing down the other path, which could be even more dangerous."
