Let's hope you make the last hour count

WARNINGS: ....What the...

[It was a long and hard battle, yet slowly but surely the Chaotic menace was beaten back.

What was left by the time "late at night" gets blurry with "early in the morning" were only a few dozen individuals, now huddled together downtown, near the large trees that'd given the city its name. They were faced off against several fighters, two opposing forces that weren't, at the moment, actually combatting.

They were both waiting to see who would make the first move.]

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...I know...I wish I had more supplies to take care of this properly...Hopefully this will do for now...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur gave a small smile.]

I-It's alright, we can worry about that later.

Nothing is really quite major about my injuries anyway.

[Chuckles softly.]

Takes a lot to take a giant down after all.

[strengthinkindness]

[With a slight smile she nodded, continuing to treat his injuries as best as she can with the supplies she had left.]

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur watched her work against his injuries, opening up and article of clothing he could for her as he smiled softly down.]

I'll be sure to buy you more bandages as well.

My size probably used up a lot.

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...it wasn't too bad really...There had just been...a lot of injured people...

[hisheadintheclouds]

Y-Yea... I had to send out my healing spells as best as I could for others too.

[He gave a sigh.]

Trying to keep my spirit positive was very exhausting, it barely even worked at times.

[strengthinkindness]

[She nodded.] In a situation like this, it's not really surprising...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur gently reach to softly brush the top of her hand with his finger.]

But...

Seeing you unharmed, and knowing that we saved a lot of people today.

It helps, a lot.

[strengthinkindness]

[She blushed a little, glancing down at her hands.]

M-Mm...I-I was...glad to be able to help...e-even if it's just a little...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Gently petting his finger against her hand in comfort.]

You did such a wonderful job too, I'm so proud of you Fluttershy, you're the best. Really you are.

[strengthinkindness]

[Her blush darkened, even as she leaned into him.]

N-No, I...I-I'm n-not really...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur gently reached forward, as he nuzzled his cheek softly against her.]

To me...

You always are, my best friend.

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiles, nuzzling against him.]

I-I...I don't know if I really deserve that...b-but thank you...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur snuggled softly against her before he chuckled.]

Of course you do.

Ever since we met you've been so kind to me, you were the first to accept me who I was. You weren't afraid... It... It helped me realize, I'm better than I actually am.

So yes, I think you are the best friend a giant could ask for.

[strengthinkindness]

[She looked up at him.]

Mm...I'm glad I could be a friend to you...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[He smiled as he petted her.]

I'm glad too...

[Then looking as he saw the rabbit and chaotics did indeed seemed to have disappear completely.]

... I think they're all gone now.

[strengthinkindness]

[She followed his gaze, frowning a bit.]

I wonder where they went...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur held her hand as he stared after.]

I don't know... I'm worried if the source from where they come from could be worst.

... I'd have to investigate it with more than one being that's for sure, like Richard or someone powerful.

I wouldn't trust going in alone there.

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...o-or what they're up to when they get to...wh-wherever they're heading...

Y-Yeah, that's...probably a good idea...I-I wouldn't want you to go by yourself...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[He nodded in agreement with that. Then looked back down at her.]

I won't...

[Looking back at the Ambrosia Nectar.]

Perhaps while I'm here I can join you inside, I'll shrink down to human size for you and stay for a while till we know everything is alright.

I'll go back out if there's any more trouble.

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods a little.] Mm...I'd like that...

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur nodded as he let go of her hand. Holding his pendant as he slightly glowed and the shrunk down back a regular 6 foot human height. He came over and gave her a warm hug. Before looking down and holding her hand.]

Let's head inside, I hope Dominic has some pretzels left.

[strengthinkindness]

[She returned the hug while she could, and with a smile she nodded, gently squeezing his hand.]

Mm...okay...

1/2

[sweartoit]

[As the two of them walked in, Dominic eyes widen. He looked a mess, his hair was untamed from rushing about as he came over.]

A-Arthur, Fluttershy, thank goodness you're both safe.

[Giving them both a hug, before taking them by the hand to one of the tables.]

I was so worried when I saw you both out there fighting.

I-I could only imagine what coulda hap-

2/2

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Once Arthur gave a gentle hug bad to the poor frazzled Satyr. As he gave a little chuckle as he guided them to a vacant table.]

We're fine Dominic, really.
