The Best Night Ever (Private with The_Pariah)

Are you sure? Insight asked doubtfully. You don't seem to well off from here.

What would you have me do? She asked, walking up to one of the guards.

Listen, I was walking around here and saw Quimia somewhere in the crowds. She'll be able to help you, no question. She always carries around a vial of health elixir just in case she might need it.

The guard does not budge as Platinum approaches.

"Excuse me guard, do happen to know where I can find a medic?"

"High Alchemist Quimia may function in that regard." The guard replied. "Quick medical attention, though, is available with any guard. Do you require one now?"

Platinum releases her magic, her wounds opening. She hissed in pain. "Y- yeah, I'd say so..."

The guard reached into his armour and pulled out a small vial of red fluid. "Standard issue, ma'am. Have it." He tilted his head. "What's wrong with you, anyway?"

"Long story. Short story, I was protecting someone." She took the potion and swallowed it. "Thank you... Oh, who's squad are you on?"

"2nd Infantry Division, under command of the Captain himself." The guard replied. "Why do you ask?"

"Just wanted to know who to tell my brother to thank. What's your name?"

"My name?" The guard seemed a little surprised. "Uh, Stalwart Shield, ma'am."

"Thank you Stalwart." She giggled, spinning and walking off, limping slightly.

"You're welcome." The guard said as Platinum left.

Silver glanced at her as she approached. "Feeling better now?"

"Mhmmm~" she pecked her cheek.

Silver blinked. "Okay... good to see that you're alright."

"Ah, sorry... I forgot..." She blushed. "Sorry again."

"We all... forget ourselves, from time to time." Silver said, averting her gaze.

"I wish... I wish I didn't have to." She giggled and bowed. "But I will."

"I... guess..." Silver shuffled her hooves awkwardly. "No need for the bowing, please."

"Sooooo... Do you have a crush?"

"Who would I have a crush on?" Silver asked, still keeping her eyes fixed on the floor.

"Whoever you like. Whomever you love." Platinum lifted her chin. "I know a lot about you, but I don't know who you love, and I'm not going to tell you."

"I don't really love anypony romantically right now." Silver confessed. "I haven't met the perfect stallion."

"Really? No one?" Platinum cocked her head.

"Not really, no." Silver shrugged. "Why?"
