Candi stood back giving Whim a stern look. "I am no china doll that needs to be handled with care! If I want to go into a mine I can very well go into one!" She stomped her hoof down and raised her head, striking a pose she felt made herself look very capable.
She stood that way for a moment then softened, moving back towards Whim. "I understand your concern love, I really do. But we are either both doing this or not. I can tell you really want this, I will never forgive myself of my condition stops you from doing something you love." Looking back over Whim her eyes rested on Blinkie, she was visibly mare and appeared to be in the group of soon to be cave ponies.
"Shes going!" she complained motioning to Blinkie.
-
Blinkie frowned at Candy.
"I'm the leader of the expedition!"
She scowled, and sank into her seat a bit.
-
Whim shook his head, not completely convinced. "Candi, the very air you breathe in the mines might be dangerous to Lush," Whim said sternly, "I need to find out from Blinkie, the mare you are indicating, whether the enviroment is safe for you and Lush. If it is not, then this will not happen. I will not have Lush in an enviroment that could harm her! She is the difference, Candi! I... I care about you both very much... I love you both..." Whim dropped his gaze again. "I know a lot about the ground... please trust my judgement... Blinkie knows about the mine, she is one of those who works it. She is like me, a rock farmer. Though it seems she has taken to digging for gems of late. She will know the conditions, with those, I can give you an answer... will that suffice, M'lady?"
-
"What a day!" The red mare exclaimed a bit exhausted, she had been running around all day and felt she needed a break as well as her stomach needed food as it growled loudly. "Heh, guess in all the excitement, I forgot to eat." She giggled lightly to herself then found a nearby place to eat, she went inside and found that the tension inside was thick enough to cut with a knife. Wow, I think I came at a bad time.
-
Blinkie looked up at the mare, glad to move herself away from the conversation.
"Heya."
She stood up, and extended a hoof.
"I'm Blinkie Pie, and you are?"
-
Ferrarity looked at the mare that approached her and smiled her usual friendly smile. "Hello friend! Ferrarity's the name, fastest earth pony is my game!" She said as she quickly shook Blinkie's hoof.
-
The gray earth pony grinned slyly, and looked the mare in the eyes.
"Would you like to go on an adventure? Possibly make thousands, even millions of bits? We could use somepony as fast as you..yes, we could."
-
Ferrarity giggled and grinned brightly at the mare's request, nodding eagerly. "Sure! I like exploring! Not knowing what dangers could lie around the corners, possibly finding treasure beyond anypony's wildest dreams!" She clapped excitedly then settled down before she got too ahead of herself.
-
"Well, if you've got 50 bits and some time, then you're on the team."
The young mare grinned, pulling out a signup sheet, dotted with a few other monikers.
-
Ferrarity grinned and nodded, taking out a small bag of bits that coincidentally had exactly 50 bits in it. "And what luck I had that amount on me, and time I've got. I just prefer to make it fast." She winked at Blinkie then signed the sheet with her name. "All set?"
