A Dark Room

"Oh this get's better as it goes doesn't it? Right now there's no way I'm leaving your side," says Rashall brooking no argument on the subject of leaving Uniqua out in the open.

 

Uniqua sighs. "I know where Stella is physically, but I'm not able to tell you where. I'm to weak to walk at the moment. Considering our current situation, I'm open for any ideas."

 

Rashall had had an idea for a while now, but he seriously did not want to use it seeing as how they were starting to run low on options maybe now would be the time.

"I may having something I can do, but it would be at a significant risk mainly to myself," he says at last really wishing it hadn't come down to this.

 

"Don't do it. If somepony could help me walk, I'm sure I would be able to find Stella." Uniqua says quickly.

 

"I could help you up, but are you sure you don't want me to attempt what I have in mind?" Asks Rashall somewhat relieved that at least another pony didn't want him to try it.

 

"I said we would get out together, didn't I? Now, I may need to lean on you to walk, if that's fine. But that's all a maybe, remember." Uniqua says awkwardly.

 

Rashall gives a slight laugh, "Alright come on," he says helping her up.

 

Uniqua begins to walk slowly forward. "She's already close by, I just need to-" Uniqua is cut off as she nearly falls over. "Ah, eh heh.. I-I'm fine, I swear." She says, continuing to try to walk forward.

 

"If you say so but I'm right here just in case," says Rashall sticking close to Uniqua.

 

"Thanks." she pants.

 

"That's what I'm here for," says Rashall.

 

Stella hummed to herself. She was secretly happy that she had company. Like a mad tea party, she thought laughing. "Excuse me." she suddenly said. "If you don't mind, the Reaper's bite can be cured. You must think about the best thing to come to you in life. Light."

 

Uniqua heard her voice and answered "That would be nice, but I wasn't bitten."

 

"Or so we can hope," says Rashall under his breath still keeping pace with Uniqua.

 

Uniqua looked at him. "At least I didn't hurt the wing I don't have." she joked.

 

"Can't help that I winded up in here as I was flying," says Rashall trying to keep his secret.

 

"Well, now how would that be possible? I know you're keeping a secret, so spill it." Uniqua says as though she can tell what he's thinking.

 

"I'm not sure that would be a good idea Uniqua," says Rashall rage boiling just beneath the surface.

 

"Well, sheesh! No need to get all mean on me, I was just being honest. I guess it could wait until later, but those emotions won't help get us out." Uniqua says, looking forward and not at Rashall.

 

"Sorry just...it's just I was returning from a venture I had taken to go to where I was born and well the memories flooded in a little to fast," says Rashall walking forwards, but looking down at the ground.
