It's exactly who I thought it would be. And I'm not sure whether that validation relieves me or worries me further. That Sombra's agents would manage to capture Earth ponies from a settlement so close to the Unicorn capital is a bit disconcerting. Fortunately, he didn't put much stock in their intelligence and clearly didn't think they'd ever be escaping. Meaning we now have more or less the location of each and every one of his slave encampments. Which means we should have him up against a wall pretty soon. I should probably hurry up with this mind control spell.

Honeydew was very excited to see me, though I can't imagine why. We only met the one time, and from what I remember, I wasn't very kind. But nonetheless she was happy. I refrained from asking her the obvious question, that being where her parents were. But for such a young filly, she certainly has a mare's intuition. She doesn't know where they are. they were separated shortly after being kidnapped. But she's not too worried; she knows that they're safe somewhere out there, waiting to be rescued from one of the camps so they can be one big happy family again. I want to tell her the truth, that her parents may very well be dead by this point, but I look at that innocent smile of hers and my cynicism just melts away. She'll be staying with me until better arrangements are made.
