"No I'm not mad." Charlie gave another smile to Dune. "But.. umm wwe new to search farther in the castle." she said. She didn't try to change the subject but she was the leader and he ha to make sure she keeps the team moving for their safety.
Dune saw Charlie approaching him and sunk shamefully into the dirt. He whimpered in fear of rejection.
"i wish you would stop doing that.." Charlie moved forward a step unsure if she should or not. After a second that felt like a century she finally gave in and gave Dune a hug.
'Dont worry, you didnt mean to." Charlie let go and pulled the N.M.M book out again then handed it to Dune, "Here, i guess you can carry it, but your not the only one fighting her."
"Aww. Thanks!" Dune said, running his hoof through Charlie's mane. "Uh...you..uh look really...pretty in the moonlight." Dune said shyly.
"we should really find the element though." Charlie looked behind her towards the inside of the castle. She would love to go for a walk but they really need to do this to defeat Nightmare Moon.
Dune pulled a handful of shards from the sand. "Its a bit broken." He announced. " I can fix it." He promised. He wrapped the shards in sand and put them under maximum pressure. In the sand stood the Element of Loyalty. Dune fell over, having exerted himself intensely
"Neither did I." Charlie helped Dune back up and held the element in her hooves, "I-i wonder who this would belong to." Charlie rolled the element in her hoof a few times then placed it carefully on the light mount of sand before her.
