Sombra: …Why?
Iron Will: What? Do you not trust me?
Sombra: I… do but what is that thing in your… hands?
Iron Will: Ah, I’m glad you asked! For your viewing pleasure, I have ventured all the way home to get us this! [holds up camera]
Sombra: …
Ash: It’s a camcam, papa.
Sombra: [flinches] P-papa?
Fluttershy: Oh, yes! Ash has been wanting to spend time with you all day so Iron decided to take a picture.
Sombra: N-no, he called me… papa?
[Iron and Fluttershy exchange a look]
Iron Will: You tell him, honey. I might… overdo it.
Fluttershy: [smiles] I don’t think he minds though. S-Sombra, Ash has… grown very attached to you.
Sombra: [looks down at the colt snuggling up on his foreleg] Why? We barely talk.
Iron Will: He’s too young to talk that much anyway.
Fluttershy: Raising Ash has been… difficult for Iron and I. Even Twilight couldn’t fix- no, not fix… H-help with Ash the way you have.
Sombra: …It is nay her fault. Dark magic is hard to figure out, though she does seem to have a gift for it. A few years of study and she would have done what I-
Fluttershy: That’s not the point!
Sombra: …
Fluttershy: You managed to so something we have been struggling to do since he was just a baby. You hugged him without any pain. I’m not sure why but I think you helped him in ways Iron and I could never accomplish… [Tears form in her eyes]
[Iron, Sombra and Ash rush over to her, embracing the small mare.]
Fluttershy: I-I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that.
Sombra: I am not mad. Just…
Iron Will: Just?
Sombra: P-please refrain from doing that, my dear… I do not know what to do when you cry.
Iron Will: [pouts] How about me? Would you feel sad if I cried?
Sombra: Honestly, I’d be frightened if you cried. You are way too animated for me to deal with a crying Minotaur. [Iron Will burst out laughing, pulling all three ponies into a hug as he swung them around. Ash giggled, Fluttershy screamed and Sombra couldn’t help but chuckle]
Iron Will: There! [He rested them down on the floor, pointing the camera that had, at some point, gotten on a tripod.] Keep that smile for the picture!
Sombra: W-what!? Nay, I refuse!
Iron Will: Don’t be stubborn, Som.
Sombra: Nay.
Fluttershy: It’ll be quick?
Sombra: Nay.
Iron Will: Come on, Som, I need this. How else am I to show off how cute my mates are to the other Mino’s back home?
Sombra: I said, na- wait, what?!
