[As the video comes on the picture seems to slowly shift, a light blue glow accenting it every so slightly as it levitates. The glow is one that matches the glow around the unicorn's horn, her perfect white fur and styled purple mane combined with the eye shadow and mascara obvious clues she's not a normal pony.]

Why I can't very well turn someone away when they're asking for help, not to mention being so thoughtful with providing for me, I simply must have a better place to live than what's been provided. Such a small space simply won't do at all.

[She shakes her head and trots off to the side a bit, it looks like she's somewhere outside the city. With her horn glowing a bit brighter she stops in front of a rock and kicks at it with a hoof, but it barely budges.]

But I suppose the fact that there's such beautiful gems around here more than makes up for it. The only problem is I don't have any way of getting them out.

[She turns back to the mirror, batting her eyelashes and turning on the most charm she can muster.]

Could someone be a dear and come lend me a hand? I simply must get my boutique up and running here and there's no way I can do it without the proper assistance. This place isn't quite like Equestria so it's going to take a little adjusting to. Which will be made all the simpler once I get my hooves on enough of these gems.

...You're planning on helping the people here?

Well, of course I am. It wouldn't be right for them to bring me here asking for help and for me to refuse them, I must do whatever I can to assist. And seeing as how dreary it is around here, they could use some decent fashion to lighten the place up. Honestly, using gems for weapons and not clothing? It should be a crime to let such beauty go to waste. Beautiful clothes lifts moral after all, so it's only natural I do what I do best to lend a hoof.

[he doesn't speak for a moment, just thinking about what she says. and finally]

What happens if the people in this city let you down? What if they don't protect you? Will you still help them?

Of course I would. They're the ones asking for help after all, why would I expect them to protect me when they're the ones in need? And even then, I'm sure they would have their reasons, you can't blame an entire town on acts of a few after all.

[oh dear. stop breaking his resolve, Rarity!]

Can't blame many for the attacks of a few. You're... You're right. I suppose.

Well, of course I am darling. It just wouldn't be fair to hold everyone accountable for something that may not have even been their fault or even intentional. If they're asking us for help, then doesn't that make it our job to protect them?

I... wouldn't say it's our job. After all, we were taken from our homes. I was needed back in my world!

There's a reason for everything you know. I was needed back home as well, but if they were desperate enough to bring us here then clearly our place is here for the time being. Though, I suppose I can understand how some might not take too kindly to it, it's only the right thing to do.

...You're very understanding.

Perhaps so. Not everyone sees the same way after all, so we really should all work together to get these things figured out.

Though there are some people who don't deserve to be reasoned with.

[do you mean that idiot replying down there. should i take care of him for you.]

That's true, too. I know a few people like that.

[You're a dear, but she's fairly sure the other one looks more intimidating and will do just fine.]

But, as I said, you cannot blame many for the actions of a few. Those few will just simply have to own up to their own mistakes.

[hey! he can be intimidating! he's intimidated people for hundreds of years!]

Yes, right. [rubs the back of his neck]

In any case, you really do seem like a dear and I'm sorry to hear something must have happened to make you think the way you do about our situation. Of course there's nothing I can do to change that, I'm simply firm in my personal beliefs on the matter.

[she's so sweet ;3; he feels really bad now. and he sighs]

I thank you for your condolences. I suppose it's just something I need to think about. [brief pause] But on a more pleasant note, where shall I come find you tomorrow, milady?

Actually darling, it seems like something has come up and I might require your assistance sooner than intended. There's that young ruffian who seems rather set on trying to get me into a zoo, of all things. If you could be a dear and come keep me company I'd be most grateful.

[blinks at the sudden request. he wasn't expecting that]

Y-yes! Of course! If you'd show me some of your surroundings, I'll come meet you. [who dare would think about putting a unicorn in a zoo?!]

It's much appreciated.

[The faint blue glow around the mirror intensifies a little as she rotates it to show her surroundings.]

A little ways outside the east gate. My darling who's supposed to be coming to help me is there watching it so that man can't get passed, it's the fasted route to me.

[he nods]

Must be quite serious if you have so many people coming to you. But don't worry, my dear! I'll get there as soon as possible.

Well, serious enough so that I'd rather not be alone and unsure exactly what I'm dealing with her. Normally I can handle myself just fine, but it never hurts to have a friend around just in case.

[eeee she wants to be friends!] Right, of course. I will see you in a few minutes!

Thank you, very much.
