A tabletop adventure automatically comes with certain expectations and contexts that drastically change how we as people would approach a situation. But that’s largely the point. It’s an escape from the mundane.

DM: Either way, I guess that about wraps this up.
Applejack: As funny as this all is… Ah still took up all yer time. So… sorry fer that.
Rainbow Dash: Apology accepted! There, happy? Now stop worrying about it, you worrywart.
Fluttershy: Well, yes, but, I mean, worrying in general is fine…
Applejack: Ah dunno. Ah can see this group doin’ this for Twi, or Dash, or Rarity, but li’l ol’ Applejack?
Twilight Sparkle: Isn’t the whole point of an adventuring party to stick together, no matter what?
Fluttershy: I think it’s important to remember that we really thought you were under some kind of control or blackmail at the time… And that in a real-life version of this situation, we probably should have respected your privacy and trusted your judgment… But yes, rest assured that we would go into the desert for you, Applejack.
Pinkie Pie: And get stuck there, too!
Rarity: DON’T remind me.
Applejack: Well, shucks. Ah’ll take all that for what it is.
Rainbow Dash: Guh… So sappy… Can’t stand it…
DM: You okay? You look a little…
Rainbow Dash: I’m FINE!
