"Why can't I c- I have to go and...change. Be a better alicorn. I'll be in the forest..." Bolt said sadly to Flitter.
"Bolt!" she called after him. Brisk put a head on his shoulder. "Well, you can sit with me. I only have another 15 minutes." she said.
"Another guard replaces me then." Brisk said. Flitter stopped short. "Are you angry with me?" she asked shamefully.
"I just thought.. you seemed disappointed." she said. She came up to him. "What are you doing in the forest?" she asked.
"I realized how much I was like my father. It was a repulsing epiphany. And now the sick reality must be battled through willpower. As I am now...I am a weapon. A shell. I wish to be whole. To be full. It's time for me to grow up and accept what I need to be." Bolt explained.
"To you? Come now, Flitter, I thought you knew all of my weaknesses! Somepony hasn't been studying." Bolt said, happy to have company on his endeavour.
"There he is now." she said, pointing. She got off duty, and faced Narrow. "OK. Now what are we going to do?" she asked. "I should consult my book o' Bolt." said Flitter, happy.
