[i]‘Boom, score another one for the smile police’[/i] Bright Light thought to himself as he saw the affect his words had on Artemis. Seeing her relax and return to a calm posture caused him to break out a smile of his own. The tension he had unwittingly coursed disappeared in a moment. [i]‘good old pegasus intuition, always steers in the right direction’[/i]

Happy with the reaction his words had, and prideful that his instincts were right on the bit he kept smiling all through Artemis’ thanks, though they did cause him to wonder slightly

‘Thank you Bri, you don’t know how good it is to hear that’ Artemis said, with even more meaning than she had when he’d bought her in from the rain. The genuine happiness that Artemis said these words with surprised him. It was almost as though, to his hearing anyway, that he was the first to truly accept her. [i]‘That can’t be right’[/i] he thought. [i]‘All those people up at the castle, she must have at least a couple of friends in the castle staff, and I’m sure she must’ve had some before she went there, she’s awesome to be around. Although’[/i] he stretched his mind back, recalling what his friend said to him the other day [i]‘look at Twilight Sparkle. Big Mac said Applejack was one of her first friends, that she didn’t have any back here. What if Artemis is the same? Well guess I’ll find out later in this new friendship. For now she wants a tour of the weather bureau and she’ll get just that.'[/i]

‘Guess I do have my moments’ Bri said with a smile in response to her praise. ‘And you’re welcome, I’m just glad I managed to get the smile back on your face. Honestly it was as though I’d threatened to throw you back outside’ he said with a wink. ‘Although as we’re friends now I suppose I should mention, I’m not actually from here myself. I’m just a freelance catcher, which means they call me in whenever there’s a massive storm that they need collecting from. Should still be able to give you the scoop of this place though.’ 

As he said this he caught up with her and his mind began to go through all the different parts that made up the weather bureau and the best way to get to them, with the first stop being the Lightning Storage/transfer room. Then after that they could go get a better look at the weather control room, followed by cloud storage, and then the emergency response area. [i]'Perfect'[/i] Bri thought.[i]'That covers all the cool stuff here. I doubt she’d want to see all the boring office buildings and more mundane tasks. Although'[/i] he cast a quick glance at Artemis, [i] for all I know she might love that stuff, she did ask for the grand tour afterall, and they are part of the weather bureau. Not to mention some of the complaints in the wingers department are pretty hilarious.'[/i] 

‘Hmm’ Bri pondered. He looked to Artemis at his side and asked ‘Do you want to go to the more borr…err I mean more managerial places on the tour, like where the complaints department is, or should I just keep to the cool stuff?’
