Is this argument getting out of hand? · 4:06pm Sep 13th, 2018
First part of the argument
“What was that for?” a voice asked. Crimson just ignored them and went back to cutting up more of the tree. “You could’ve killed an animal.” Crimson finally looked up to see Twilight giving him a hard look.
“Look your, Highness,” Crimson said. “We need fuel for the engine to run again and it runs on wood, hence we need to find the wood needed to get the train moving again.” Normally Crimson wouldn’t talk to royalty like that, but if he needed to get the engine moving after all these years, he needed to do what was needed.
“You could’ve waited on one of us to help make sure it was cleared out first,” Twilight argued. “We have somepony that could do that.”
Second
[quote “Trains today run on oil,” Twilight stated. “It’s much more efficient than wood burners, just so you know.”
“I don’t care how efficient an oil burning train is,” Crimson argued. “We didn’t have that in my time. We made do with what we could get and we did our best to make sure that there was always wood when we needed it.”
“But your train will have to run on oil!” Twilight exclaimed. “It’s standard procedure. According to the law provided by Canterlot nobles, due to the fact that there were many fires started by coal and wood burners, all trains must now run on oil. No exceptions.”
“Did you ever stop to think about how my engine is built?” Crimson asked, trying not to lose his patience. He was after all, in the presence of royalty, but that didn’t mean he could keep his temper in check. Especially to that one princess that seemed to think everything could be found in a book about trains. Before Twilight could respond, Fluttershy interrupted.
