Last time on the Eye of the Storm

Nothing else happened, so let's get on with it.

For a moment it looks like she's about to have an serious outburst, but as she glances over to Helping Hooves she calms down considerably.

You on the other hand, get to be a cool colt.
You walked out of the mansion long before those two did and get to slowly walk away from the mansion as it gets torn apart in a huge ball of raging fire behind you. You don't even look back, because cool guys don't look at explosions.

Too slow, she was already up, dusting herself off.

"Yes, lets."

She turns to her servant stallion and Running Luck.

I'm going to go ahead and call it a session here. I'm honestly too distracted to keep this up. Hopefully we can continue this somewhere this weekend. Or just have a couple of minisessions instead. Sorry.
