5 Stitches: Definitely Not As Planned

[sailorgenerous]

[The video shows Rarity, looking very mussed - which isn't like her at all - and rather scuffed, as though she's just come out the worse in a less than ideal situation...but that couldn't be the case, could it?]

[She runs a hoof over her mane, frowning at the ruined curls.]

Well, that certainly didn't turn out well. [She glances up] You weren't broadcasting any of that, were you?

[Cambot pans side to side - that would be a no.]

Oh, good. I would not have wanted anypony to see that. Now, if you could please stay off until after I've taken care of the mess that awful thing made of my coiffure, I would appreciate it.

[Cambot pans side to side again, and Rarity pauses.]

What do you mean, no? You- you're not broadcasting now, are you?

[Cambot pans up and down this time. Yes, he is. If it was possible for Rarity to look even more agitated, she's certainly doing it now.]

Cambot, we discussed this! You need to give a lady warning before you start showing her off for all the world to see! It's rather rude! [She sighs, a bit defeated.] But it's a bit late for that now, isn't it.

[She sighs again, and there's a long pause before she begins speaking again.] Aqua, I happened to run across your shade, and...well, she's rather nasty, and very protective of her kneecaps. Do be careful if you see her.

[She starts heading back to her room to go soothe her wounded pride and nurse her somewhat banged up hind legs. They're not too bad, luckily, but evidently she hadn't been kidding about Aqua's shade.]

Not at the moment, but I will be. I don't know where it got to, though.o

[halfdarkened]

How about I get over there to make sure it got lost a while.

[sailorgenerous]

That would be nice, thank you. Just...please be careful.

[Yes. Yes, she could really use some company right now.]

[halfdarkened]

I don't think I need to be the one worried. [He's there in about two minutes, offering a look of concern.]

...I'd offer you an arm or a shoulder or something, but I'm not sure how that'd work.

[sailorgenerous]

Nonetheless. [Shades are nasty creatures, and she doesn't want him running afoul of one so dangerous.]

[She's just about to her room by the time he arrives, and she smiles at him, though it's definitely not as vibrant as usual.] I'll be quite alright without anything like that, though I would appreciate it if you'd open my door.

[halfdarkened]

[He offers a small smile.] I can do that. [He opens up the door and stands to the side. As soon as she enters, he stands in the doorway.] Want me to stick around a while, just in case it comes back?

[sailorgenerous]

Thank you. [She heads straight for the bed and lies down on it. Normally she wouldn't keel over in front of anypony, save during sleepovers, but Riku is quite the gentlecolt and she is tired.]

Whichever you'd like. I don't think it's coming back, but I wouldn't say no to the company.

[halfdarkened]

Okay. [For the moment then he leans his back against the doorframe, arms crossed. He can see both down the hall and into the room very well.]
