Description:
Emerald runs up and gives Loupe a hug. He says that it’s good to see them, and tells them everything that has happened in the town, and what they think happened to Joyride. The colt then asks Nishan if they met up with his mentor recently.
“No. We haven’t seen her since we got separated from you all by the wasps. They didn’t actually end up chasing us very far for some reason. The wasps seemed more intent on getting Joyride. That was fine for us of course. It made our escape easier.” Nishan says with a small smirk.
“Do you think it’s linked with all those disappearances…?” Loupe asks the zebra nervously.
“Probably. I doubt Joyride has any enemies down here, though I suppose I wouldn’t be surprised if she did.” Nishan says with a grimace.
Emerald says that Nishan is a pretty good hunter and tracker, and asks if she knows where Joyride might be.
“Hmm… No, I have no idea. I could ask around, but it would probably take a long time for me to find out if I did at all.” Nishan says, pacing the room slightly as she thinks.
“Isn’t there anything we could do…?” Loupe says, watching the zebras progress around the room.
“Why don’t we lure them out?” Ruby says, hoping off of her cot, “We’re ponies after all! As long as we have you guys watching our flanks I’m sure we could-”
“No. Far too dangerous.” Nishan says, cutting off Ruby.
“B-but. We know where most of the kidnappings happen, Nishan. They seem to always skim the borders of the pony side of town. That’s why Millet’s got hit, and I know that hotel Emerald spoke of is nearby.” Loupe says, suddenly.
“Are yo suggesting we use these kids as bait?” Nishan says, looking straight at Loupe.
“No but… But you can use me.” Loupe says, staring back.
“Absolutely not.” Nishan responds, turning away.
The two argue for a bit, and Emerald thinks on what they said. Maybe it’s about time he put in his own opinion.
