Take What You Can Get

To take what you can get

Knocking woke me up. It was short but loud. And the voice of a Twilight Sparkle followed the knocking. "Frost Bite, can I talk to you?" Why she needed to talk to me, I had no idea. But I got up, groomed real fast, and got to the door.
"Well, good morning, Miss Sparkle. Do you need something?"
"Please don't call me that, Mister Frost. And yes, I need to speak to you."
"Private? Personal? What?"
"Follow me, please. We should talk at the library." I remembered that she lived at the library. Kind of weird, but not for her.
So we got to the library after about 10 minutes, and I was about to sit down when she started up. It was such a barrage of questions that flowed from one subject to another that is was disorienting.
"What's your special talent? Are you trying to seduce Fluttershy? If you were a bum, why are you so nice? What happened to make..."
I could follow none of that. But one question stuck out. "Why is Fluttershy being so open now that she met you?" I had no answer to any of her questions, as that one filled my brain.
"Twilight...I think that Fluttershy is just...opening up for whatever reason. I don't think I have anything to do with it."
"Well, and I know she's normally nice, but, why is she being so nice to you?" That was just rude. And she saw it.
"Miss Twilight, I think I should go."
"But, I need answer-"
"No."
And I left. I thought of her questions that I managed to catch. "When you were homeless, why did you take up theft?" And answer was simple.
I had to take what I could get.
