Emerald thanks Hope for staying, and apologizes for everything that’s happened. She strokes Emerald’s hair a few times in response. He gives her a peck on the cheek, and then snuggles back in.
 
Emerald finds himself unable to get to sleep however, despite how tired and comfortable he is. He can’t help but think of Joyride down below, alone, and perhaps unprotected. Would the Order be able to find them?
 
Emerald looks to his bed mates, and determining that they are well asleep, shimmies out of bed and down the ladder.
 
Joyride is there just the same as she was when he left her. He looks around to see if he can find another blanket for her, and spots one on the other couch.
 
He drapes it over her, and after examining her for a few seconds decides to sit against the couch and guard her.
 

 
Emerald didn’t even realize he fell asleep until he started to smell something delicious cooking nearby. Smells like pancakes. Pancakes and apples.
 
Emerald groggily gets to his hooves and looks at the couch. Joyride seems to be gone, and he calls out for her.
 
“In here, lil’ Perv.” She says.
 
Emerald follows the voice to the table and chairs, and sees Joyride sitting there eating some pancakes, along with the two guards.
