Thunderclap stopped walking for a minute. His eyes widened as he thought about something. 'Do... do these ponies... actually care about me? Are they trying to help me... even after everything I've said?!' Thunderclap could hardly believe it. These three ponies whom he'd met only moments before were now trying not only to reassure him, but also get him to open up.
Another set of clouds appeared above Thunderclaps head, but this time, they didn't drop rain... they simply hovered above his head. His emotions were confused and scattered. The black pony blinked a few times as he turned to face Haru, Daliya, and Myrdinn. "Do you three... really mean that?" asked Thunderclap with a quiver in his voice.
