After the Hearth's Warming fun was over and the Apples had went home, Limestone and Igneous stood alone in the living room. The fire was crackling in the background, filling the room with heat. Igneous let out a sigh.

"Limestone?"

"Yeah?" 

Igneous looked at her in confusion. Silence hung over the two for a few seconds. "Why?"

Limestone raised an eyebrow. "Why what?" 

Igneous looked to the ground. "Why did thou treat the Apples with such... bitterness?" 

Limestone stood in silence for a minute. "What?"

"Thy heard me, Limestone. Why was thou so bitter?" He asked a second time, his eyes having a small trace of a glare. Limestone looked around before sighing.

"I-I did what I told you."

Igneous raised an eyebrow in confusion. "And what was it thou told me?"

Limestone looked around the room again, remembering her past. "Do you remember... when I got my cutie mark? When I protected you from the dogs in the crystal mines?" 

Igneous nodded without hesitation. "Of course I do. That was the largest change I had ever seen in you."

Limestone nodded. "Well, I also promised to protect the rock farm, just like I protecting the mines from the dogs, for the rest of my life. I-I had to make sure they knew not to mess with the rock farm. Plus, I also partially own it. I don't want something happening to my rock farm." 

Igneous sighed. "Limestone, they were not going to hurt the farm. Pinkie wouldn't have invited them over if they were the type to hurt property."

Limestone's ears folded back. "I... I'm sorry, dad. I just... well... wanted to make sure the farm was alright."

Igneous smiled at these words as he pulled her into a hug. "Limestone, don't feel obligated to have to be bitter to protect thy farm. I am proud that thou doesn't want anything happening to it, but next time, don't be so rude about it."

Limestone nodded as the two pulled apart. "Okay. I'll try."

Igneous gave her a warm smile. "There's my daughter." 

Limestone smiled at him. "Dad?"

"Yes, Limestone?" 

Limestone flashed a small grin. "Can I still act... assertive if someone tries to touch Holder's Boulder?"

Igneous thought for a moment before nodding. "Yes. You may."
