You don't remember her knocking. "Are you going to blow me off again?" -*- GreenLight isn't even surprised, taking a small breath before giving a tiny, slightly annoyed smile. "I'm sorry, that was quite literally the worst timing I have ever seen. ....How are you?" "I'm fine. But how are you doing? I know I interrupted something yesterday." She moves up to take a seat on the couch as her gaze remains fixed on him. "...Let's just say I was glad I had to go to work. I just.. that.." He sighs once, his coat grayer than ever. "I made a huge mistake." "That's true yes, but I'd like to hear what you think the mistake is." -*- GreenLight thinks long and hard "You know, I almost gave up hope a while back, till Hoof gave me a long chat. We... we talked about a lot of what I was suppressing, what I was fearing... he told me that he was sure White learned the ultimate lesson, that I should be honest to her bout what I was thinking, and that he was positive that, down the road, things would be okay." "So, when White asked me what I really felt, I... I kinda broke and told her exactly what I was fearing. And what she said, uh." -*- GreenLight looks down, mumbling. "...Hoof was wrong." -*- WhiteLight had JUST stumbled past the living room and collapsed on the bed without seeing the sneaky bat hiding in the one dark corner of the room she didn't bother looking into since her eyes were glued to the stallion sitting on the table, all she could manage as a sort of expression was a bitter, pursed up smile and a sullen look while she went off to bed Without even lifting up the covers, her eyes close as her head sinks in the pillow, her mane scattering haphazardly over the pillow and her messy tail hangs off the side of the bed... And then... Her ear sperk up as suddenly conversation starts in the room behind her, making her eyes open wide again from the surrpise, there was no... Knocking... Her eyes narrow as she quickly rolls off the bed on all fours again and peek sout of the bedroom wit her face mostly covered by her mane, jerking her head to the side to clear up some of it for just the second she needs to see Eternity, "Where..." -*- WhiteLight 's is then promptly buried under a cascade of disheveled, curly blue and red hair right after, hesitating for a second to raise a hoof and clear her face and push the hair back behind her ears, a deadpan look on her face, "Oh... Should i go back to bed...?" She timidly asks, raising a brow as she looked between the two, the voice not matching the expressionless look she was giving. -*- Eternity hmms to herself a bit. "Oh good, you're here too White." She turns back to Greenlight. "So you don't trust Whitelight to be a responsible parent, owing to the multiple times she recklessly endangered herself and the baby, that accurate?" She motions for White to join them. -*- GreenLight gives a tiny nod. "I just.. No, I don't. I-it was what White said yesterday, though." -*- WhiteLight goes tightlipped after that one statement, starting to back off into the bedroom instead of coming in in response to the gesture but then freezes after having taken but one step back, her eyes shifting between the two, pondering, as she slowly started frowning quite deeply, "Pleaaaase... As if that would happen again in the first place...! Besides i... When is there going to be another ambassador in the same exact situation?" She mumbled from the safety of her doorway, her head barely peeking in now. "I can't trust someone as a mother if they aren't willing to put the baby's life first." "... Excuse me? You really, REALLY think i would do it twice?" "You said you would!" "L-literally!" "He raises a valid point. Need I bring up the incident at the river, where you were testing entirely theoretical earth pony magic to walk across water?" -*- WhiteLight blinks as her eyes slowly drift away from him, her frown fading as her lips tighten in frustration and embarassment, looking back inside the room pleadingly, as if she was really pondering about escaping this argument... But shaking the thought away with a whimper a she slowly shuffles into the living room instead, her eyes downcast towards the floor. "O-Ok maybe it wasn't too... It was too easy to misunderstand i guess... Well uh... *Ahem*" She pauses as, without raising her eyes to meet theirs, slowly takes a seat across Light, "First of all, the magic isn't theoretical, it should work, I'm just not good at it, it was working the other times but i didn't know to what extent it could go." -*- GreenLight hangs his head low, staring at the floor. "You almost drowned. Twice." "A-any shock like that could easily have harmed the baby back on Earth." "Aaaand second of all, what i... Uffff... What i meant is that if int he same situation... I-i don't know, in that moment i had a split second to think about it... You know?" She slowly raised her head just enough to able to peer towards Light, "I-i wouldn't go into adventures anymore if i did get another chance! A-and i wont test magic, that I've gotten slightly better at, again..." -*- GreenLight shakes his head "That... that's not the life you want to live, White. That's why I said it was okay that... yeah." "See that's the thing. You're only assuring us that you won't do it again. But I dont think you understand why it was so irresponsible, and downright stupid in the first place." -*- WhiteLight slowly lowers her head again to push a hoof into her face, sighing out, and then just staying quiet until one of the two replies telling her how foolish she is... Aaand she got both of the htings she was expecting, eliciting another, deeper, sigh which slowly makes her sag her head down wards. "No, no you two are... YOU'RE NOT WRONG, ok? You're not wrong i was stupid and irresponsible but that its not going to happen again because i want to have a family TOO." She accidentally kicks the table as her hind leg twitched nervously, makig the table bounce upwards with a *Thump!*, Making her jump as well. "I'm sorry, White, but..-" He cringes at that thump, even meeker in response as everything that's happened, all those actions, everything that's been said comes together. "I can't trust you with one." -*- WhiteLight just goes silent and, as the childish logic inside of her starts flipping desks and everything in her head, she starts looking very grim and dark under her mane, her eyes sinking towards her belly... "Can i go to bed now...?" "You don't need to force this all to work out. Honestly? I think it would be best, for both of you, if you just ended all of this here. Moved on like mature adults." -*- GreenLight whimpers softly, giving a final, emotionless nod to Eternity. "I'm sorry." -*- WhiteLight only now starts leaning back on her chair, tossing her head back and covering her mouth with both forehooves as she tries to not let the internal screaming go outwards, too much, a few whimpers make it out tho... Slowly shaking her head with her eyes staring at the thick plank scaffolds supporting the roof hopelessly, Grumbling softly under her breath. "Well then it's settled." She gets up. "I'm sorry it all ended this way." She pulls her hood over her head and fixes her mask over her muzzle. "You can always get in touch with me by dropping by the Embassy." She turns and seeps back into the shadows, vanishing from the house without a sound. -*- WhiteLight exudes a huff through her nose as she finally lets her forelegs go limp over her hind legs again, staring as Eternity just.. Does her thing and leaves, eliciting a rather weird look to the bat as she really is not sure what to say anymore, "I... I'm just going to say that i disagree with your opinion Light but i guess I'm too silly to say anything about it, so there's that..." -*- GreenLight blinks, hardly registering that. Eternity kinda threw him for a loop. "...Sorry." -*- WhiteLight nods to herself and slowly stands up, her legs twitching and shuddering as she puts up a stoic look, silently trotting away while mumbling some quiet curses under her breath "Maledetto, maledetto porco due in croce dio cantante..." -*- WhiteLight fetches her journal from the desk and then promptly collapses on the bed on her back, laying it down beside her and flipping about a dozen so she can re-read her vault notes for the second time, "Uffff..." "...I'll leave, if you don't have a place to stay. Got work, a-and... then will go to Hoof." His voice catches once or twice, but otherwise remains soft "Excuse you what did you just say?" She almost immediately pipes up with a wholly incredulous tone, blinking as her head swivels towards the doorway. -*- WhiteLight flips her book closed and unceremoniously rolls off the bed to stand up again, her eyes slowly narrowing as she strides to the door again and peeks her head out to stare at GreenLight with a puzzled look on her, "I-I'm not sure i understood what you said correctly..." -*- GreenLight gets up, slowly trotting his way out. "I.. I'm sorry. Can't say I like it one bit, but Eternity's right. I'm... gonna go." -*- WhiteLight 's eyes go DANGEROUSLY narrow as she looked at the stallion stand up and, with a nevrotic twitch under her eye, she steps out and hastily and gets right behind him before simpy stopping there with her mouth Agape, "Nonono I can leave! I-i-i can leave its fine! I-its fine!" "Heheh i-i can go back to the inn, i can go live next door with Maple! Fine!" -*- WhiteLight , on that oddly cheery response, promptly steps up infront of him and stands infront of the door staring back at GreenLight with a very, very twitchy smile and glistening eyes "Stay here, unless y-y-y-ou have to go to work! I-i-i'll just uh... Go." -*- GreenLight cringes softly, looking down once more and sitting on his haunches. "Do whatever you want, just... o-okay." -*- WhiteLight is then pretty much paralized there, locked with her forehoof already on the doorway with her hoof quivering as it held on the knob, her eyes closing as a sneaky tear begins to fall down her cheek with a more, and more dejected look creeping up on her face, "W-wh-why do you have to go...?" "W-why...? I... It doesn't have to end this way, its... It doesn't NEED to end because of my mistake don't you think i can learn to try again? L-Like with what happened with Hoss a fuckton of time ago...? I-I-i learned to sotp fucking around then! Ugh!" -*- WhiteLight literally begins to hyperventilate right then and there as her eyes stare desperate down at the stallion, weeping silently as she struggled to keep her voice from sputtering gibberish, "W-what do you want me to do..." AND THEN LIGHT LEAVES BECAUSE HE HAS TO GO TO WORK IRL, the end. maybe.
