“I’m sorry that my friend insulted you by stealing not just one of your compatriots horde but also their fire. My family runs a massive jewel mining operation, and I assure you we can give you proper recompense.”
The dragon eyes Emerald for a second and then says, “I may not know much about ponies, but you are certainly too young to be owning anything yourself. What proof is there that your family owns anything?”
“This is the child of the Jewel family, Whitefang.” Joyride says quickly, “I was escorting him to Whitherwater for business. Why else do you think I would have a runt follow me around like this? His family is one of the few that could actually afford my services!”
“The Jewel family?” Whitefang says, looking down at Emerald again, who cowers at the stare.
“H-here, take this as a down payment.” Emerald says, snatching the pendant from his chest and holding it up to the dragon, who takes it by one of his claws and holds it up to his face.
The dragon eyes the pendant for quite some time, rotating in front of his eyes. Eventually he says, “What an interesting jewel… This is very much worth a down payment. Very well. I shall take up my grievances with your parents. It seems you have snaked your way out of another jam, Qaab Belqane, but you shall not always be so lucky. Watch yourself.”
The dragon takes off, and after he makes it a little ways away Joyride slaps Emerald on the back laughing. “Nicely done! You tricked him good!”
She then flicks the necklace, which seems to have reappeared back onto the colt again. “We should do that trick again sometime!”
