Foxtrot lowers his hoof back to the ground as Mesa assures him
that she'll be alright. He nods, "Alright then. If you say so."
The unicorn glances back toward the hall to the main lobby; the
sound of small talk in the distance seems to suggest nopony has
heard them. He looks back to the Pegasus, "I'll be going then.
If you want to hang out again then you can find me in the park."
Foxtrot pauses, "It's been nice hanging out with you Mesa. I
hope you get well soon."

Mesa followed Foxtrot's gaze has he glanced down the hall, the
pegasus's face suddenly becoming worried. But it appeared they
had gone unheard, and a twinge of relief went through Mesa as
she turned back to Foxtrot. The last thing she needed was more
ponies knowing about her... problem. She felt simultaneously
grateful and a little saddened when Foxtrot announced he was
leaving. He's been so kind. But of course he's leaving, I
sounded like I was blaming him! I shouldn't have said anything.
I should have just toughed it out for the rest of the day, she
thought, then inwardly sighed. Either way, no changing it now.
She gave Foxtrot a tiny, tired smile at his get-well wishes,
before she quietly said, "Thank you, Foxtrot. For everything.
It's been nice spending time with you too." She lifted a hoof to
brush away a piece of mane in her eyes, only to find teardrops
smeared across her brown fur. She looked mortified when she
realized that her tears had finally started to fall.
"IshouldgobyeFoxtrot," she said in one breath, before bolting
into her room and shutting the door quickly behind her. Then she
slowly slid down to the floor and buried her face in her hooves.

Foxtrot lightly nods and smiles as Mesa thanks him, but when he
sees her in tears, his heart drops. Never in the entirety of his
life has he felt like a complete bastard. He tries to speak,
raising his hoof to the pegasus, but is too late as she flees to
her room and closes the door, leaving him alone in the hallway
with his thoughts.
'F**k up Fox strikes again!' a voice in his mind shouts in a
chastising tone. The unicorn hangs his head down as he walks
down the hallway'Oh but look on the bright side, at least you
didn't get her killed like-' Foxtrot suddenly stomps his hoof
down at his own mind games, more angry than sad, 'For Celestia's
sake Foxtrot you're- uh... 25? 26? Whatever! You're in your mid
twenties and you're sitting here like a sad child!' The unicorn
looks to the door, 'Can't talk to her now. Still, I can't leave
things like this.' Beginning a brisk trot down the hallway, he
finally comes up with an idea when he reaches the lobby. Foxtrot
sprints out of the double doors and into the town; about an hour
later he returns with a small box, warm to the touch and
emitting the scent of cherry into the room. The unicorn walks to
the front desk, "Excuse me ma'am, if you see a brown pegasus
enter the lobby from her room, can you give her this? Actually
if she doesn't leave her room for like... the next... 3 hours?
No go with 5 hours, if she's not out of her room in 5 hours, can
you take this to her room? Last thing I want is to send stale
scones."
"Very well sir. Should I mention your name?" the receptionist
asks as she takes the box and places it under the counter.
"No that won't be necessary, she'll know who it is." Foxtrot
answers. "Thank you." With a nod he exits the inn, "Alright, now
to actually pay for those things. And there's only one way to do
that." The unicorn reaches over and grabs his guitar, heading to
the markets to play some music.
His plans change however when a member of the Royal Guard blocks
his path, "Sir. Are you Foxtrot?"
"Why yes I am officer." Foxtrot answers, a feint sense of dread
inhabiting his mind, 'No way could they have found out about
those scones already, no way! Keeping a calm demeanor he
continues, "Is there something wrong?"
"I just need you to follow me." the guard orders as he turns
around and begins walking, "If you don't then I'll place you
under arrest for vagrancy."
Foxtrot clenches his jaw, growing really tired of that excuse,
"Alright officer," he says, slight annoyance in his voice, "Lead
the way." Minutes pass as the guard leads him to the outer
sections of the town, the surrounding becomes silent as ponies
and their conversations fade away in the distance. Of course
Foxtrot knew something was off, but right now he doesn't really
have a a choice; if it's an official Royal Guard matter, it's
best if he just follows along. The guard leads him to a simple
house, granted there's some wear and tear, but nothing too bad.
Foxtrot enters the house, the first thing he sees are four
ponies pointing their crossbows right in his face. It doesn't
make things better when the four ponies, actually all of the
ponies in this house, are the hunters he and Mesa busted earlier
today. "Oh hey guys, I uh... damn it." A swift melee to the back
of the unicorn's head sends him to the floor, knocking him out
as the door closes, shutting him off from the outside world.
