"I uh..." Nivalia plays around with her food before looking back
up at Tinder. "Well, you know about my secret. About what I
really am, being a changeling and all. I was at Canterlot with a
few friends; we went to a small festival being held at the town
square." She breaks her gaze away from her, "One thing led to
another and... I got found out. My disguise broke and..."
Nivalia paused for quite some time, trying to fight back some
tears, though a couple manage to trickle down her face. "There
was mob and..." She raises her hoof to her mane and lifts some
of it up. On the side of her head was a small scar, a couple of
inches in length. The changeling drops it back down before
continuing, "They tried to kill me, Tinder. They kept... they
kept yelling 'Squash the bug!' and I was so scared." By now she
didn't even bother fighting it back, instead just started
crying. "They thought I stole some things but I didn't! But they
didn't care, they just thought I was some monster that needed to
be slain."

Tinder moves her chair closer as Niv stares to talk, knowing
something is wrong. As she listens her heart shatters for her
friend, no one should have to face something like that. She
stands up out of her chair and moves over, pulling Niv into a
tight hug, wishing she could do more right now. "I'm sorry...
That shouldn't of never happened to you." She rubs her back
lightly to try to comfort her in this hard time. She knows if
Niv hugs back it's going to hurt, but she doesn't care anymore,
her friend needs her.

Once Nivalia feels Tinder hugging her, she returns it back ten
fold. Tinder would feel a warm, tingling sensation throughout
her body, strong enough to block whatever pain she would feel
from her injuries. She would go on crying for a short time
before calming down and letting go. "Thank you sweetie, I really
appreciate it." She wipes off her tears with her hoof and
catches her breath, "I've had to come back here to Ponyville to
lay low, but word is getting around and I'm afraid it may affect
business at The Herbiary. I have to... I have to go there and
tell my workers what's going on, who I really am. They've been
with me this whole time and they don't even know. But they
deserve to; I'm just worried about how they make take the news."

Tinder holds her as long as Niv needs, only letting go when she
does. She pulls her chair over close and sits down, "I won't let
anything happen to you, I promise. And your workers know you for
who you are, they love you, they know your personality. None of
that will change, they will still love you. And I'll be by your
side, no matter what." She pushes her plate close to Niv,
offering her food since she's not planning on eating it, not
wanting to risk using her magic again. "Eat up, you need your
strength."

"Oh, thank you Tinder, for everything. I'm glad I have a friend
as great as you." She smiles when she's offered food, "No I'm
fine dear, I still got my own plate to finish. If anything you
need to gather up your strength. You may be physically fine, but
I know your magic has been shorting out over there." She pats
Tinder's shoulder, "I got something at work that can take care
of that. So for now, eat up. I don't any of this delicious food
go to waste. After that, we'll head to The Herbiary and I'll
break the news to them. At that point we'll see where things
go."

Tinder smiles at Niv as she speaks, happy she could help even if
it was only a little. She looks at the plate as it's pushed back
to her, trying once more to pick up her fork with her magic to
no avail. She lets out a sigh as she realises her magic isn't
getting better, grabbing the fork and picking at her food. She
never was a big eater. "You don't need to use your products on
me, no need to waste them.. and don't worry, I'll be there for
you when you tell them, I promise."

"Well I'll hold you to that, Tinder." Nivalia replies with a
smile. It felt good to know that she had some ponies staying by
her side despite who, or what she was. After some time, the two
head out and make their way to The Herbiary. The day itself was
overcast, but warm enough to not need any outerwear. Nivalia
herself was still wearing her hood; even in her current earth
pony form, she had to remain out of sight from anyone who would
suspect her of anything. Regardless, she felt much safer with
Tinder by her side. "So Tinder, in terms of security from now on
I'l have to make arrangements to make sure you're not doing it
all by yourself. It's not that I lack confidence in your
abilities, it's just a matter of it being a numbers game. The
las thing I want is for you to have to defend yourself against
the possibility of multiple attackers... or a mob, those are the
worst."

Tinder sticks close to her side as they walk, her ears on a
swivel, keeping watching for anything that could be trouble.
"Hey now, I can handle it, don't worry. No need in you hiring
more security, I can take care of anything that comes our way,
promise. Once my magic is working again, I will be able to
handle anything." Her horn hasn't stopped sparking since they
left the house, she felt safe there. Now that they are out in
the open she's more worried, worried about not being able to
protect Niv. All this stress leaving her magic out of her
control.

"Tinder, it just gives me peace of mind," Nivalia says,
"Besides, it's not just here. My shop in Canterlot is getting
more as well; the warehouses will be under the protection of
Lunar Guard, so that's at least one less thing to worry about."
She remains silent for a few minutes before looking back at her.
"A pony I met in Canterlot put her life on the line to protect
me and she got hurt. I... I'm not strong enough to handle having
another close friend of mine hurt." Her eyes glance over to her
horn, "Please Tinder, just take care of yourself too." Her tone
does pick up when she remembers something else, "I was
thinking... about changing my appearance again. Something more
practical, but I haven't narrowed it down."

"I won't get hurt, I promise. I know how to take care of myself.
And I won't let you get hurt either. " Tinder smiles softly over
at Niv, wanting her to know she's there no matter what. "Hm?
What do you mean more practical? Like, are you going to try
unicorn so you can use your magic freely?" She lets out a tiny
yawn as the walk, her magic malfunction like this must take a
toll on her, but she's doing the best she can to hide it.
