Spark listened as Sound talked occasionally sipping the cider despite the taste. Now and again she nodded solemnly as he talked about the wastes to show she was listening.
When he finished however she found her spirits were somewhat lifted. She even managed a little smile at his proposal.
 
"It's a deal" she replied, lowering her hood at last and raising her hoof to his. "I'm sorry about earlier... I don't normally leave the clinic here and I'm terrible with crowds..." She glanced around the room at the various drunken ponies and noticed a blue unicorn seemingly watching her. Immediatly she lowered her gaze back to the table and tapped a hoof against it nervously.

Said table suddenly jumped violently as a huge pony slammed his mug down upon it laughing as he did. Apparently he would be traveling with the caravan and she nodded politely at his offering himself as protection though she couldn't help but draw back a little. He really was huge, possibly the biggest pony she'd ever seen!

Spark opened her mouth to comment on the ponies size to Sound but before she could say anything the strange singing bat pony from earlier interrupted her. His words were unsettling, there really were lot of dangers outside the city! She didn't really even have friends, well except maybe Sound, he'd been nice but did he really count as a friend? She looked at him for a second uncertain but he was distracted by the bat pony.

The bat pony certainly seemed drunk. He smelt of alcohol and he'd just downed a glass of whisky right in front of them. The sound he made as he hit the table though was simply adorable... Even if he was drunk.

With a small sigh, Spark looked to Sound. 
"Maybe I should take him to the clinic for the night. They probably won't mind... I'm going to have to stay there myself anyway..."
