Sleeping in the streets, honestly...

[Not quite new, Kafei is in fact no stranger to Equestria. That's why if anyone spots an unfamiliar tiny fox sulking about town and not freaking out, that's probably why. ...In fact, that's definitely why, he acts as though he never left at all! Instead he appears much more upset over the dirt that accumulated on his clothing thanks to waking up outside of all places, mumbling to himself under his breath. You know, he tries his hardest not to blackout, and then this happens? He can't even remember last night...

Which reminds him, he might as well make a quick scroll message. Kafei can't even bring himself to look into the thing, huffing and puffing his way along town.]

If I damaged any of your property, I apologize.

[...And that's it. That's all he says. Why he'd ever damage anyone's stuff to begin with will forever be a mystery, but apparently he felt it was important enough to bring up.]

I'm glad I did. She's got her man, she's got me...hey, things might actually be getting better for us.

[keaton_mask]

[RECORD SCRATCH]

Her what?

[crapfully]

She's got some other guy---at least, that's what it's looking like. Means she doesn't have to be heartbroken over me anymore.

[keaton_mask]

[In which Kafei begins rubbing one of his temples.]

A-Are you sure? That's...so soon after, well, that catastrophe...

[Sorry, there really wasn't a nice word to describe it.]

[crapfully]

Never underestimate the speed of a heart.

[keaton_mask]

One, don't ever tell me how the heart works.

Two, you don't find that at all...too fast? I'm not one to deny someone their feelings, but when you consider how long she had feelings for you...then how quickly she bounced to someone else...

[Wow, he really doesn't want to be the one to say this, least he end up like Anju's mother, but seriously...]

I don't know, it almost sounds like she could be using the new relationship as an emotional bandage... I'd have to see for myself, I'd like to be wrong...

[crapfully]

...ugh. Why do you have to go making sense and stuff?

Fine, fine. Make sure she's okay, but. For what it's worth, I think she's okay.

[keaton_mask]

She did look okay when we spoke, but she was also alone. If I had a chance to see them interact, I'd probably get a better idea of how things are. I'm pretty good at telling when a relationship is truly genuine.

[NOT TO BRAG OR ANYTHING.]

I just worry because she's young, you know that as well as I do.

[crapfully]

Yeah, I do. But hey: if he hurts her, I'll deck him.

[keaton_mask]

...Well, yes, that goes without saying

[Look, they're bonding.]

[crapfully]

...which admittedly could be slightly hypocritical, because I was the last one to hurt her, but. They're in love, they've got a choice in this.

But nothing's stopping me from looking out for her now.

[keaton_mask]

Keep in mind that you didn't do it out of malice, you had every reason to turn her down.

[Like, a huge age gap, seriously. If that isn't a good reason, what is?!]

Just like how I expect you not to "deck" this person if he hurts her unintentionally. But yes, if he does it completely on purpose then there will be blood.

[Kafei stop you can barely open a door.]

[crapfully]

But not too much. Feena's too good for that---no matter how hurt she was, she'd never wish ill on him, would she?

[keaton_mask]

Never underestimate a woman scorned.

[crapfully]

How painfully true. Anyway...you need anything with looking out, you can call me.
