Frisk idly registered Tia heading towards the kitchen to the left of the living room as the child went towards the hallway to the right.

They peaked over the staircase railing and stared down at the darkness below, slightly intimidated by it they moved away and headed further down the hallway. They marvelled at the plants growing in pots by the wall, they politely ignored the doors they walked past-they had a feeling they weren't supposed to go in there yet- and pulled funny faces in the mirror.

* It's you!

They paused at the thought that popped up in their head but were quickly snapped out of their musings as Tia called them over. The mare directed Frisk to the room at the beginning of the hall and gently prompted them to go inside. The room had a bed, a closet, nightstand, desk and some bookshelves. A toy box with an assortment of toys was by one corner.

Tia stated that this would be their room. Frisk didn't know it was possible to get this many surprises in one day, it was starting to wear them out. They yawned and Tia suggested they take a nap. Frisk nodded and soon flopped onto the soft mattress and was quickly asleep, they didn't even notice Tia tuck them in with her magic.

When they awoke, they found Tia lying on a cushion while reading a scroll. Frisk greeted the kind pony and sat beside her as Tia explained that she was going over ideas for Frisk's education.

Frisk sat silent as they listened, their own plan forming in their head. Determined, Frisk asked if all the different kingdoms got along.

Tia sighed and told them that most blamed pony kind for being trapped underground in the first place and that many simply had a way of life that others didn't wish to understand.

Frisk thought about it and asked if everyone would get along better if they weren't trapped underground?

Tia looked troubled and seemed to be searching for the right way to answer. Eventually she said breaking the barrier would make everyone happy, but there would be no peace between the kingdoms. 

Frisk had a new idea.
