I had these lines done back in Septemer and then forgot about them

This takes place not long after the canyon scene when Tryst bucked Alex off in the stampede.

-------

Once the dust had settled, literally and metephorically, Ewan set out to locate Tryst and bring him to where the Lawmen had set up camp. He walked back through the canyon, this time on foot, having left Ren back at the camp, and it wasn't long before he came across the smokey black roan stallion.

When Tryst caught site of Ewan, he nickered at him and trotted over, having calmed down and become quite lonely and was now so very happy to see a familiar face.

"Ewan! You found me!"

"You are in big trouble, Tryst."

"But I didn't mean anything! I just got caught up in the moment! She's tough, she can handle some horseplay."

"Just because you think she can handle it doesn't mean you should do it. She nearly got trampled after you left her. If your brother and I hadn't come along... Anyways, when I left she was in the medic's tent to get her shoulder looked at. If it's broken you two are going to be sent home early."

Tryst snorted. "But she's fine. It's not possible that she broke anything. That just can't happen. Like I said, she's tough, nothing can hurt her."

"Tough, I'll give you, but tough isn't invincible. She is delicate. And tiny. Is she even as tall as one of your legs?"

"I don't really see what size has to do with this, I've met some nasty ponies in my time... but you're right... she's hardly as tall as my legs are long." Tryst had hung his head low and sounded almost disappointed in himself. Almost. "But she can handle me, and I bet she could beat you in a fistfight!"

Ewan rubbed his hands over his face; this horse was impossible and stubborn in his beliefs. Then inspiration struck him. "Your mother, Badger, she's tough too, right?"

Tryst suddenly looked suspicious and tried to figure out where the unexpected turn in the conversation was headed. "Yes. Nothing can touch her. What's Mom got to do with this?"

"But she's still a lady."

"Right."

"Like Alex."

"Mmhhmm."

"Would you want someone to treat Badger like you treated Alex today?"

"No! That wouldn't be right! Oh... I get it. I've made a big mistake, haven't I?"

"At least you finally realize it. How about we head back to camp and see how she's doing?"

"That sounds good."
