Frozen bowed his head in response, and noted the lack of a lock upon the door. Could it be they trusted him now? The thought gave him some satisfaction. Weary from the day, Frozen laid down and closed his eyes. His last thoughts were of Rosy as sleep found him.
The sun rose as Celestia raised it, grunting with effort. It illuminated her, and she smiled as it was appointed to it's proper place.
Frozen murmured and grumbled as the morning light hit his face, and he rolled over to shield his face with the quilt.
"The princess wishes to see you," he said. "It is discussing your stay here. I am ready to escort you when ready."
Frozen slowly got up and rubbed his eyes, slowly allowing himself to adjust to the morning light. He got dressed and opened the door, "ready," he said tiredly.
"Then let us depart," Aerik said. They arrived in the throne room, where Celestia sat, with a guard whispering rapidly to her. She nodded, and he left, and she turned to Frozen. "Mr. Heart, good morning."
"My sister and I have talked, and we both have agreed about your character," she said, her horn glowing as she signed a slip of paper for a small, bookish mare. She looked up, and focused on him. "We have agreed to release you early. You shall be departing later this evening."
"I assumed you and Ms. Donner would be staying here, but the hospital will not allow her to discharge on her own. We assumed you would want to be the person to first see her, but we can send someone else if need be," Celestia said, secretly hoping the latter would be the case.
Inwardly, Celestia sighed. "Very well, Mr. Heart. I will teleport you at 6:00 sharp. In the meantime, perhaps we can discuss our status with Chineigh."
