Emerald says that he would have used the exit if he thought that was a good idea, but from his point of view something isn't right here.

He then holds up the hoofcuffs and asks why he is wearing them and if she can take them off.

"Err..." The mare says not looking Emerald in the eye, "Well no, I can't take them off..."

Emerald glares at her, his eyes tearing up involuntarily.

"B-but my master can do it when he comes back! He just went to explore a little about around where we found you. He said that he has questions for you." The mare says in a pitying way, obviously trying to comfort Emerald, "He's a nice guy, really! I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong or anything!"

Emerald keeps glaring, and the mare taps her hooves together nervously. Emerald remembers the bandages and thanks her for fixing him up.

"Of course! No problem!" The mare says happily, "Look, I think we got off on the wrong hoof. My name is Alacris."

Emerald, still wary, says it's nice to meet her and introduces himself. Almost immediately after doing so he realizes he probably should have used a fake name. In the future he'll have to remember to come up with one.

Luckily Alacris doesn't seem to recognize his name and says,

"Hey, I'm cooking up some breakfast. Want some?"

Emearld hobbles over to the fire. It smells like some sort of carrot stew.

What does Emerald do?
