There was one major upside to having a huge family; there was always a kitchen to raid when your own fridge was empty. It didn’t matter if she’d only spoken to the house owner once or just winked at them during a family gathering, mi casa su casa was the saying, right? And that was why Shrill X was sitting in grandma Scent’s kitchen, wolfing down a sandwich cobbled together out of whatever she could find. The sandwich went down within a few bites and another was in creation. Lettuce, tomato, carrot, beetroot, ham, peanut butter, this mysterious green paste…
Chrystali Boo yeah, let's do it! I just kinda presumed he lives with Scent.

Zen wrinkled his little nose at Shrill, but didn't correct her opinion. It was hers to have, after all! Shrugging, he took another bite, watching her make herself at home. It was only then he realized he didn't know her name, this shameless family member with an appetite.
"Is that all it is?" he asked, not sounding very surprised but not sounding happy about it either. "Just...I said I'd do one thing, so I have to do it? There's nothing more behind it than, 'you said a thing, so do the thing'?" The colt sighed again. "I don't want to hurt either of their feelings. I don't know who I'd go with. I don't really even want to go!" He took an annoyed bite out of his apple.

"That's...that makes no sense!" Zen scowled, more at himself than Shrill's words. "--sugar and cream and baking stuff's in the black canisters near the oven." He could still be polite, even if he was frustrated with himself!
The colt bit the inside of his lip, considering just why it annoyed him so. Maybe he could make sense of it if he incorporated what Shrill said against his own guilt. "I don't see the point stressing words as binding. Words are just...words! Words can change, they can mean different things. It should be a sense of -- of -- " Jeez, words really did suck! " -- I dunno, pride? Trust...honor!"
Loyalty. A sense of loyalty, to a decision made, to his own intent to the one who received his given word. That was why what he said was important. "You're right," he said at length, taking a slow bite out of his apple as the thoughtful awareness overcame him. It was a promise. It was more than words. Blinking, he quickly finished his bite and looked up to the female bustling around the kitchen. "You're right!"
Ruriska the best at replying late!

"Nice to meet you," he said politely, smiling a little more. His family member was brash but she seemed to get it, and that was important.
Her next words were a bit sobering, the small unicorn's head drooping a little. "I dunno that I need others forgiveness..." But he paused, considering. He thought of the phonies he'd met up to this point, wondering how he'd feel if they were upset with him, or...disappointed. The very thought of it made him again realize how wrong he was. "...but maybe it's good to keep in mind," he mumbled. Looking back up, he tried on another smile. "But I'll stay with the one I asked. I did it with good intention, and if I betray that, I'm not really somephony I'd want to be friends with."
Ruriska Please do, it works wonders apparently
