"Well that doesn't make any sense. You reacted faster than my Guards here." and they were supposed to protect her. And a bunch of civilian earth ponies had gotten the drop on them! Princess Jasmine swore, these guys were incompetent and terrible. And this random…. He had to be new. She couldn't remember him on file. There was a bureau that kept record of pony's cutie marks and their special talents. Princess Jasmine had looked at all the ones for those she knew and the royal Guards. So he was no Royal Guard. And if he was, he was new. And out of a job without Princess Celestia.

The pegasus was taken aback by Jasmine's comment on how it didn't make sense, how he reacted faster than her guards. Solar Chaser looked at her as they had entered the hospital, though his look was less than amused. "That doesn't make sense?" he asked, as if confirming that was what Jasmine had said, but continued before he got an answer. "To be perfectly honest, I just went by instinct on that- I didn't think about what would happen. And frankly, it shouldn't be affected by my special talent- otherwise it'd be impossible to protect another." he stated, two nurses coming along to get him off the guard's back to bring him to the next room over.

Princess Jasmine was let waiting as she sat there, unsure what to do with that. That didn't make any sense. It wasn't his talent? It had to be. But it clearly wasn't. He wasn't a unicorn after all, he didn't have a horn in which to cast said spell. And even if he did, that would be his talent still because of how big it was. He'd basically saved her life. And while he was no prince… The stories were very clear on what was to happen when a Princess was saved by a guy. She owed him her life after all... This was an exoskeleton, but those rocks would have killed her.

It didn't take long, at most five minutes, before the nurses allowed Solar to walk out of the room. His face had been cleaned up, while the cut itself was covered in bandages wrapped around his head. His broken leg was wrapped in tight cloth and supported by a brace, allowing him to use it to keep balance, but not putting too much pressure on it at the same time. "Not gonna lie, the painkillers they give pack one heck of a punch." he stated, in his own way affirming that it went well. He felt like he'd be able to fly back to Ponyville without any trouble, but he didn't want to be too risky just after being given a splint and some meds. His wings weren't harmed, so even if the painkillers wore off, he could fly his way back.

Wow. He was really torn up. Really really torn up. He'd done that for her. That was awesome and heroic. Only fairy tale princes were heroic really. That's what it seemed like to Princess Jasmine. "Thanks for saving my life." Princess Jasmine said, managing to be calm with that. Then she totally blew it with what she said next. "I feel like a princess in one of those fairy tales. I will stay by your side forever." Gosh. that had come out really really loudly. She was embarrassed. Luckily she was a spider. Otherwise it would have shown.

Noting the look that Jasmine gave him, he could only guess she was concerned...either that or ready for a meal. However, he did not dwell on his thoughts as the spider spoke once more, thanking him for what he did. "You're welcome." he replied happily, although then the spider began talking about feeling like a princess in the fairy tails and how she would stay by his side forever. "Pardon?" he asked, his confusion evident as he tried to register what the spider said. A princess in a fairy tale, how does that make any sense? he wondered, but soon it hit him, his face giving off a look of realization- though he didn't exactly like it. If what he had guessed was what the spider meant, then this would be complicated.

"Uh...I really don't think that it will work out." he replied, trying his best to be nice about saying this. A spider and a pony romantically paired was strange, yes, but also seemed impossible in his eyes.

Princess Jasmine felt a pang right in her chest. As a Princess it had been rare that a pony would say no to her. And to have a no here… It was… A lot to handle. And to suddenly realize that this might have been what that "old stallion" had felt. This was how it was supposed to be. The Princess saved by a prince, or in this case, a knight, and they living happily ever. But who she was kidding? She was monstrous.

If she weren't so afraid of giving up one of the only things she had she'd drop the Princess in front of her name. But she had so little… Princess Jasmine just wanted to cling to what little she had now.

And now she realized why she had so little. This was breaking a little fantasy that all Princesses had. What she had done, the "old stallion" had been clear, would cost him is life if he didn't get help. and they'd both been turned down for the same reason. They were hideous. Princess Jasmine was silent.

Solar Chaser didn't need a response, the spider's silence was enough to allow him to realize what Jasmine was feeling. Sighing softly, the pony looked at her with what he hoped would be enough of a comforting look. "Look...I'm sure you're a really nice spider, and I admit: I'm not the sharpest knife, but I am sure you can find someone better than me." he stated, a soothing tone carrying his words. He did not know anything about her, where she was from, who she was and.... "Oh! How terribly rude of me, I neglected to introduce myself. My name is Solar Chaser." he introduced himself, feeling stupid for not introducing himself from the get-go.

"Az Mawh Gaewth." Princess Jasmine said. Not the typical name, but it was also just three butchered words that she'd mangled and made a name. Oh my gosh. That's what she'd meant to say. And that's what she made her name. Princess Jasmine was just… Really depressed now. This sucked.

"And I'm Moral Compass." Said a black stallion next to Princess Jasmine with a compass pointing true north rimmed with onyx. He had gotten his cutiemark in being Princess Jasmine's Moral Compass in particular. Making it so they didn't even really need to speak to understand each other… At least he didn't have to speak. It was hard to read her lips when she didn't have any lips. "Thanks for saving P- Az Mawh Gaewth's life." Princess Jasmine shot a glare at him. Damn. It was hard calling her something different. He'd known her practically all his life.

Solar chuckled softly with a smile, hiding the fact that was the most ridiculous name he had ever heard. Even though he had heard it, he thought it'd be almost impossible to pronounce, let alone say it consistently. However, Solar ended up getting a reprieve thanks to a black stallion, who seemed to have just caught up with them and was now standing alongside the spider. Moral Compass had introduced himself, and he nodded, looking at them both. "It's very nice, meeting you both. " he replied, listening as the stallion had thanked him for saving 'Az Mawh Gaewth', although he found it'd be tough to say her name.

"There's no need to thank me, I just wanted to do what was right, and I figured saving Azy...Az mau..." he trailed off, having difficulty already before sighing. "Ok, there's no way I'm going to pronounce that, how about I just call you 'Princess'?" he asked, coming up with the name on the spot. The spider was excited before about feeling like a princess, so why not call her one?

Well… There…. Princess Jasmine wasn't sure. Being called Princess when she looked like this mess… She wasn't sure. She had thought that disgusting thing had been just a wrinkly old commoner. Not the powerful monstrous thing that it was. Powerful enough to turn her into what she had become. And she had become what she was for a reason now. She hadn't believed, until now, that she had done anything wrong that day. That what had happened to her was unjustified and wrong. She hadn't thought herself as cold as the dragon had called her. But she had been.

For her it was a fairy tale dreams. For the dragon who had turned her into this it was his life at stake. If it hurt this much for her… She couldn't even imagine how much it had hurt for the guy. "Sure." Princess Jasmine muttered.

"Can I?" Moral Compass asked, to which Princess Jasmine shook her head.

Sighing in relief as 'Princess' allowed him to use the nickname, the pegasus couldn't help but chuckle a little at when the spider shot down Moral Compass's request to use the same nickname. However, he had realized what time it was and he really had to start heading home. "Well, it was nice meeting you two, maybe we'll cross paths again one day?" he asked, waving as he stretched his wings, getting ready to fly, but in that instant an wave of exhaustion had hit him, causing him to let out a massive yawn instead. "What?" he asked, and one of the nurses who helped him noticed. 'Oh- I forgot to mention that those painkillers tend to make patients really drowsy...I don't recommend flying until tomorrow.' she stated, surprising the stallion.

"Huh? But...I gotta get back to Ponyville...I have nowhere else to stay." he replied out of concern, another yawn leaving his mouth in the process.

"Weee've got somewhere here that you could stay. Deep Impact's family has a home here that we've been staying at." So he could stay the night and Princess Jasmine could try and convince him that this might be able to work… Who was she kidding? This wasn't going to work and this was her fault. Her fault from the start. She was getting bit bombarded right now. First there was realizing that she actually had done wrong. A Princess getting shot down by a knight. And then there was the actual first thing of someone doing something out of their cutie mark. Princess Jasmine wasn't even sure where to start.

Almost in response to the dilemma, Jasmine had offerred a place to stay...well, more like inviting him to join where they have been staying with another pony. His first thoughts were about going to sleep, but then he remembered that it'd be rude just to impose like that, and he didn't wish to cause any unnecessary trouble for anyone. "I...I don't want to trouble anypony...but..." he tried to decline the offer, but the drowsiness started to kick in further, unrelenting. He felt as if he'd just drop to go on a snooze cruise right there and then. He looked down while taking a breath, trying to keep himself awake before looking back up, a shy smile on his face. "I...I appreciate it...thanks.." he relented, knowing now that it was probably the only thing he could have done.

Princess Jasmine didn't feel even a little bit off about inviting Solar Chaser to some other pony's house. These guards owed her even more than the typical bond of Princess to her Royal Guards. They had failed her multiple times. But they stayed. And Princess Jasmine wasn't going to fire them. She didn't have much in this world, she wanted to cling to what she did have. "It will be our pleasure." and Princess Jasmine wasn't talking about the guards. She was talking about her and Solar Chaser. He and she would…

No… she was being silly. That wasn't going to happen. She was just an ugly spider.
