Emerald goes in like she is going to give Ruby a hug, but then suddenly brings his hooves together and gives her the double boop.
 
In her sleepiness Ruby doesn’t really react very much to it, just making an annoyed noise and slapping away Emerald’s hooves. She then folds a whole pancake and begins eating it like a burrito.
 
Emerald asks how she was captured yesterday.
 
“Ran from the Order up towards the tents, sort of towards the medical building. Realized I was being an idiot and turned to go back towards Joyride’s place. Ran into someone I thought was Joyride. Was not Joyride.” Ruby says in a tired, deadpan voice as she chews.
 
Emerald turns from the sleepy filly and asks Joyride how she got away from the Order yesterday.
 
“By being awesome.” Joyride says with a proud grin, “Long story short. I waited for you to leave and then teleported away. Well, not really teleport per say because they had some sort of illuminated, enchanted ball do-hickey with Earthlocker, but it was pretty similar.”
 
“Earthlocker…?” Ruby says, looking groggily to the Unicorn.
 
“Yeah. Basically it prevents teleportation spells in and out of an area. I mean it does more than that, but that’s basically it’s main use. Most rich, private residences and sensitive areas have that sort of enchantment.”
 
Emerald asks the plans for the day.
 
“We are getting out of here. We’ll pack up after breakfast and head towards the Giant Wasp hive.” Joyride says.
 
Emerald suddenly remembers the feeling of uselessness he had yesterday, and asks if she can teach him a new spell. One that will help him offensively. Or anything really. He wants to help her in case she gets in trouble again.
 
Joyride gives it a moments thought and says,
 
“Eh. I guess. What sort of spell were you thinking?”
 
Emerald mentions a few spells he might want to learn. Such as teleportation, a spell for generating a smoke screen (Probably useful against wasps!), a spell to disorient or confuse ponies, or one that could cause a distraction.
 
“Well teleportation is still way out of your league, lil’ perv, but the others should be pretty easy.”
 
Joyride leans back in her chair and continues,
 
“Making a smoke screen is pretty easy, and if you continue on with it you can do all sorts of mind altering or poisoning effects.
 
As for confusion spells those can be tricky. It takes quite a bit of willpower to force your thoughts into another creatures mind. In addition, it has no effect on anything without any sort of free will, or lacking a brain altogether.
 
Lastly, I’m not sure exactly what you mean by a distraction spell. Perhaps one that creates visual and audio illusions? Like a clone that scampers off and makes lot’s of noise? A spell like that exists.”
 
What does Emerald do?
