You are a monster...then again he deserves to be knocked down a peg" they leave the post "also I have no idea what to do with you, its not like a prison or spying or anything so I guess I'll just do what I normally do...and I guess what you do now which will be to follow me while I work" she remembers something "also here's your laptop, just please don't watch that human stuff while I work"

I smirk, a thought crossing my mind.

"Of course I'm a monster; I turn into a shadow monster, can take the form of other ponies, feed off of emotions, use dark magic, and, worst of all, I watch a show for young fillies! Oh, then there's the whole "disregard for the value of life" thing. Oh, and I'll spare you the talk of "we're all monsters, when you get right down to it" monologue... Oh, and that's a thief; the one with a burlap sack full of silverware?" I then whistle the theme song for My Little Human.

"he's not so bright is he?" she said catching the new pony easily overpowering him while not knowing then handed him to another guard as she walked back to Marion "I swear, looking over you is going to be a blast" she said sarcastically "why do you disregard the value of life? In my opinion that's what saved you, or me, from trying to kill you and I know the whole we're all monsters thing from a ton of insane ponies already, thank Celestia I don't have to hear the thing a thousand and one times now" she kept walking with Marion on her route

[MarionEtte136 79]

My brow furls, as I think of an answer to your question. Finally, I settle on one.

"Why do you value it?" I ask, looking sincere, for almost the first time since we met, as though there wasn't anything behind it, but what was presented.

Why do I care?! She's just a guard! I've killed female guards before! Why can't I do it now?! I think to myself. Then, I consider, maybe, it's because she looks like... Her...

[MarionEtte136 79]

I silently follow her, my face brooding. I keep pace, silently mulling over my own emotions, hoping for an answer. Finally, I speak.

"Somepony once thought they could make me a better pony. We even had a serious relationship. I even proposed. After our wedding, I decided I'd finally let her know what I am. She got her friends together, and tried to kill me. I barely managed to get away. That was awhile ago; I'm not even sure if she remembers me..." I return to my silence, my anxiety in her answer obvious on my face, as I haven't tried to hide it, distractedly waiting for her words, bracing myself for pain.

She was also mulling over her emotions now on what she had been told "that's horrible, a pony with feeling for another should be able to coup with any of that, especially since she was trying to help you...I swear if I saw that mare I would have some choice words about your love and my hate" she kept walking "I don't think that your all that bad...you just could become bad which could scare off ponies but I deal with monsters all the time and have a few secrets of my own" Banner hoped it would help

[MarionEtte136 79]

I continue pacing beside her, thinking carefully. Then, I nod to myself.

"Like your appreciation for MLH? Your secret is safe with me. You know, you could really try to hide it better... I could read you a mile away!" I finally say, grinning. Humor crosses my face, poorly hiding the pain trudging up Memory Lane did. It's still in my eyes.

She looked at him then back "making jokes about others to hide your own insecurities" she mumbled then picked up her head "yes please don't because I don't like it, its for fillies and not for me, nothing against you or anypony else like you, I just don't like it" she said denying it "my niece likes it though and asks me to get her that stuff often" she used that to try and throw him off

[MarionEtte136 79]

I smile, shaking my head. "I'm not even going to try to counter that one..."

I chuckle, finding hilarity in our situation.

"Perhaps," I say between bouts of laughter, "you can see what's funny about our situation? Not long ago, you were ready to decapitate me! Now, you have to LIVE with me!"

I guffaw.

"I call the couch..." I finally wheeze out, after too long of laughter.

[MarionEtte136 79]

 I flinch, my eyes remain attached to her mane for a moment, sorrow deep in my eyes. I turn back to continue walking, avoiding eye contact, facing forward, walking at a steady pace. Perhaps, I should've just... Let them take me... Or, perhaps, I should've turned to Celestia... She might've merely imprisoned me, protecting me from them... Then, I wouldn't have fallen so out of synch... Maybe, Chrysalis will take me back... No; not after what I did... I should NEVER have told her... I ponder through my options, thinking of what could have been.

The trip through the market was good this time only one shopkeeper refused me for my appearance snobbish racist prick. Other than that I was like any other pony to most well after so long i guess it's to be expected better then my reception in the other cities.

[MarionEtte136 79]

I shake my thoughts clear, and return my expression to normal.

"It's fine. I'll just get myself ready for some rest. It's been a busy night." I mutter, heading for the couch. I place my things in a careful order around the place of rest, and nestle comfortably into it's cushions. An insectoid sound of pleasure escapes my throat.

 I sit there, resting my head in my forelegs. I begin contemplating how my day has been playing out, and will likely continue. Perhaps, I think to myself, I'll only be a bit. I have to say, I'm not sure how I feel about the new flatmates. Or, is it "roommates"? I'll have to ask her later. Or, maybe now.

"Excuse me, but are we "roommates" or "flatmates"?" I ask, honestly, before my tone takes on a snarky attitude. "I need to know what to call what we are, when I have to decide what to carve on your tombstone."

It's not hard to tell that he's using the statement to detract from the insecurity he feels, in living with a mare.

I nod, acknowledging her statement, trying to get some rest. I decide not to comment on her bringing up Bronycon. I thought it would be embarrassing to ask what's on my mind. Bugger; might as well...

"Umm... Do you mind accompanying me to BronyCon? It'll be my first one, and I don't want to get lost..." I ask quietly, attempting to feign confidence. As a way of sweetening the proverbial pot, "I have an extra ticket, anyways..."

I don't manage to mask my emotions in time; and the initial, barely contained excitement shows. Then, at the question, it turns to pain and sadness, the familiar kind. The type that one gets when living with it for a while. My expression then turns blank.

I attempt to turn my voice to pleasant, and say, "I wouldn't want to trouble you with the silly details. Does it really matter, anyway?"

A shrug is the answer given, and an adjustment is made in posture. Instead of the normal siting somepony would be expected to do, it goes to one seen almost exclusively by Lyra, and humans. It seems odd, but the creature seems to look more comfortable. I flick my nondescript tail, curious about what you'll put on. I look to the bag you've put my laptop into. I still had my earbuds hooked into it.
