Goldfin: "Um... I'm sorry, Daddy... "


 * A slow, crunching sound comes through the communicator. Dark Moon seems to have abowl of cereal in front of him.

Dark Moon: "For?"

Goldfin: "I hit a police officer and ran away and hid in Trotham but not before I started a riot and ended the riot and went to the Crystal Empire but that was after I went to a griffon bar because I couldn't go home and met Acolyte's brother who turned out to be nice and helped me and- gasp-"

Dark Moon: "...Done yet?"

Goldfin: "No! You see, it wasn't my fault because this mad guy called Mysterio tricked me into attacking a civilian and then the police came and I didn't think the police were real so I hit him too and fled the scene because I didn't think any of it was real and... huff... huff... Daddy, I didn't mean to!"


 * Dark Moon audibly chews his cereal again, leaving Goldfin with the terrible feeling that he has no words with which he can express his immense disappointment.

Dark Moon: "And you didn't call me at all during this time because..?"

Goldfin: "Because I knew you'd be angry."


 * Dark Moon sighs.

Dark Moon: "Honey, I'm not angry. I'm just sad. I was worried sick for you, thinking that you'd goofed up like that or lost control of your temper. The only updates I got were from that nurse pony Decibelle and that gentlecolt Ironworks."


 * Goldfin bristles at the mention of Ironworks.

Dark Moon: "You're a grown mare, Goldie. You need to stop hiding under the blanket like a foal. I'm sorry to say it, but that's the way it is. You know I'd never get angry at you for too long. For Celestia's sake, I'm your father."


 * Goldfin frowns. Tears start to well in her eyes. Embarrassed by these tears, Goldfin frowns even further.

Goldfin: "I... I... I didn't want to worry you... I didn't mean it..."

Dark Moon: "You know you could have called me, right?"

Goldfin: "Sniffle... Uh-huh..."

Dark Moon: "Alright... I won't guilt-trip you any further. Buck up. You're back now, aren't you?"

Goldfin: "Uh-huh..."

Dark Moon: "And have you learned something from this?"

Goldfin: "Yes..."

Dark Moon: "Then you're alright. I shouldn't even have to say it, but I forgive you for everything. Okay? You're my kid. I trust you to learn from your mistakes and do better next time. If something like this happens again, call me. I don't want you to suffer alone."

Goldfin: "Th-Thank you, daddy."

Dark Moon: "Love you, Goldie."

Flashfire: "Whoa."


 * Flashfire cracks her fiery knuckles.

Flashfire: "Alright, if you want to do this the hard way... Wait, is that a ball?"


 * This pony, an aide of the minister, nearly drops her paperwork.

Aide: "Draynian Ambassor Lotha'an? Right this way, Mr. Ambassador. I'm sure Minister Spearmint will be eager to hear whatever news or concerns you bring."


 * The aide leads Lotha'an through a door and into the heart of Equestria's department of foreign relations.
