"Good." Steel said relievedly. "Luckily you're not a trickster. I could have been stuck carrying you."
"I think I meant mean trickster. You're a good kind of trickster. Not a jerk." Steel corrected himself. "Stop being sad...you're making me want to hug you and that'll be awkward because I'm not sure how to hug ponies."
"No! Stop it! It hurts!" Steel said. "I know you're a trickster! I said that! I said you're not a jerk about it! Please!" He pleaded
"Because you tricked me and It's the only slightly cruel thing I can think of." Steel said with a shrug. "Better than kicking you, right?"
Steel frowned. "Ow...well, the real reason is you've given me a new way to view life and I'm happier for it. And...so...thanks, giggles...I mean, thank you, Sparrow." Steel said, smiling and walking forward. "For being a friend. Or at least friendly. I don't really have friends..."
"I'm not necessarily your friend either." she responded. "It's just my cutie mark." She swished her tail. "People naturally like me."
"Well It's entirely your choice. I think I would like to have you as a friend. You're fun to be around. I understand I'm just not the same way." Steel explained, still walking.
