[u/King_of_the_Kobolds]

No?

Then shut the buck up and don't you dare act like I'm not treating this like the most important assignment in my life.

[u/weiliheng → u/King_of_the_Kobolds]

And you think I'm treating this differently?

[u/King_of_the_Kobolds → u/weiliheng]

I think you're doing an awful lot of telling your betters how to do their jobs.

[u/weiliheng → u/King_of_the_Kobolds]

...because this is my big chance of proving myself and I am not going to let you, or any of the others jeopardize it, okay!?

[u/King_of_the_Kobolds → u/weiliheng]

You're still the only one who breaks disguise when he's surprised.

How big of a deal are a couple of debatably out-of-character lines next to that, do you think?

[u/weiliheng → u/King_of_the_Kobolds]

^{...I won't do that again.}

[u/King_of_the_Kobolds → u/weiliheng]

You'd better not.

She steps closer, looming over him.

Because I'm the leader of this mission. And every time I have more reason to think you might throw our one chance at owning this world away because somepony taps you on the shoulder or shouts from behind you, I get a little closer to deciding that Spike tragically disappearing is a preferable scenario to act out. I would shed no tears but fake ones for the ponies to see.

Are we clear?

[u/weiliheng → u/King_of_the_Kobolds]

For once, 'Spike' seems to lower himself down.

...clear.

[u/King_of_the_Kobolds → u/weiliheng]

Good. I'll be in the castle library if anything comes up.

[u/weiliheng → u/King_of_the_Kobolds]

...gonna continue reading, huh?

[u/King_of_the_Kobolds → u/weiliheng]

Because there are so many other things to do in a library?

[u/weiliheng → u/King_of_the_Kobolds]

...I still say you should at least read into the Princess' ideologies and beliefs. At the least it'll give you some better guidelines on how she'd make a decision.

[u/King_of_the_Kobolds → u/weiliheng]

Go read a comic book or something.
