Silver Tongue was never an important pony. Sure, he conned rich ponies out hundreds of bits, but it wasn't as if they couldn't spare it. He never believed any of them would care enough to get back at him.
Of course, he also never liked to be wrong.
(Gore tag due to expectations of myself.)
Heyyyyy
This is sounding interesting. You don't see many con ponies. I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this
