So, hey. I've got a question, now that th'world is back to what passes for "normal" 'round here.

What do you do if it turns out that you've been livin' a lie all your life? Not, like, in the Mayfield sense, but... what if you thought you were a hero and you turned out to only be hurtin' people, or...

[Flare goes quiet, and glances away.]

...or what if you believed you were cursed, only t'find out it was all in your head, and you were only holdin' yourself back? What do you do when you find that sorta thing out?

[Private to Zetta]

Hey. Overlord. I wanted to apologize for not believing you and assuming you were the one who let Grand Lord Suckface out of Tartarus. Seemed like the sort of thing you'd do in order to get his power for your own, or t'create a threat so that you had your own personal army at your beck and call.

I was wrong. In order to make it up to you... well, I ain't about to become your minion or suck up to you, but if you wanna take Rarity someplace fancy sometime, just lemme know and I'll work out all the bullcrap with getting you some spots. Your drinks are covered for the next month if you want to come down to the Decanter, too.

So... sorry.

I'm flattered that you think I look like someone who has any sort of income.

[Today on "Who's a Bum?"]

But I'm sure if we're polite enough, we can convince the bartender to start up some sort of tab.

Pfff, already got one. Kinda comes with bein' a bouncer there.

So were you tryin' to get free drinks outta me, or was that just how things went?

A little bit of both.

[Today on who isn't even shameless about this at all.]

But if you're really that upset, I suppose it can wait for another time. All I really wanted to do was find the time to thank you.

Heh. Don't mention it.

And I'll getcha a round, no worries. I mean, assumin' you're legal.

[It's KIND OF HARD TO TELL, what with you being a fox.]

I'm twelve.

[You may have inspired him, Flare, but he doesn't trust you that much yet.]

But all I've ever ordered there is milk anyway, so it's never been much of a problem.

[She has no idea! YOU'RE A FOX SHE HAS NO CLUE HOW FAST THOSE AGE.]

Ah. Yeah, that'd put a damper on it. Just tell Minty - that's Mint Julep, the mare at the bar - that Flare said you could get some drinks on her. She'll know what to do.

...Might want to specify you shouldn't be boozin' it up, though. If I couldn't tell...

[Well it's not like he sounds any older either, gosh Flare.]

Like I said, unless you're hiding any sort of alcoholic milk from me, I've been surprisingly sober since I've arrived here.

[You know, for a kid.]

Not that I'm really the one who needs it right now. This is your crisis.

[We're in happy pony land, even the guys sound like they're 10.]

Urgh, no. Trust me on that, you do not want to mix booze and milk. Alcohol makes it curdle.

[Don't ask her how she knows that. And don't point out that she's trying to avoid thinking about her "crisis".]

That's because you're doing it wrong.

[Kafei may not know how Chateau Romani is made himself, all he knows is it gets the job done.]

And I don't believe curdling milk is your current crisis at the moment.

[Whoops.]

[In fairness, Flare knows nothing about alcoholic milk or how it's made, just that mixing booze and milk is a recipe for barf.

If she did know, she might actually realize that Chateau Romani was probably just fermented very carefully after it came out of the cows.]

I'm not having a crisis.

[He can only stare for a good moment before finally saying something.]

You just said you thought you were living a lie.

[That...that sounds like a crisis.]

...Well, yeah. Turns out I spent my whole life thinking I had to walk a certain path when that path wasn't meant for me at all.

[That's totally not a crisis. srsly.]

...That's a crisis, dear.

[Yeah, no, sit down.]

You're twelve.

[Why are you talking like you're her father, seriously.]

[He's this close to grounding her forever.]

So that suddenly makes me wrong?
