Colonel Hooves snippet · 2:03am Jun 15th, 2022
Just an out of context snippet of the next chapter which is currently finished, but hasn't been proof read just yet. But I'm going to wait a little bit to publish it until I've written several more chapters.
“Is there a reason you want to visit the toy store Redshock?” I asked, but her lead remained true as her voice rang firm.
“I didn’t really get to look before..well you know.” I did indeed know. “And I have some allowance and foalsitting bits so why not?”
“Sound logic, but would you consider saving your bits for something more practical like your own house? You’ll need one in the future, and starting early is never a bad thing.”
“That’s just dumb! Why would I need to save for a house when I’m living with you?”
“It was just a suggestion, and nothing more.” Truthfully it was a push to get Cersus to consider her future, but the question broke the nymph’s reluctance to speak with me after that.
She eventually ceased her stride to walk alongside me which led to us conversing about topics I’d never considered of interest to the nymph. Cersus told me much of her life in the empire so far, and I found her experiences fascinating and troubling for I wasn’t involved with much of it. My duties were mostly to blame for this lack of interaction, yet I made little effort to involve myself within her daily activities, becoming reliant on Unstoppable Force to watch over the nymph when I was unable to spare the time.
I was proud of her displaying independence already since it proved she could forge her own path apart from Topaz and myself if needed. The only problem was…
‘I don’t want her to leave just yet.’ I thought to myself as I listened to her recount another instance involving her friends in Canterlot. I mentioned how it saddened me knowing she had little success locating a group her own age to socialize, but she assured me the ones in Canterlot were all she needed.
