My embarrassment grew to the point that I had whacked Mothball over the head with the Lancelot, rendering him unconscious and unable to laugh. Oh don't look at me like that, he's fine...at least...I think he is.

"You ok there Mothy?"

"..."

"I'll take that as a yes."

Anyway, I was dragging Mothy through the streets to the hotel. Upon arriving the receptionist gave me Cadences room number and our room key, our room was right across the hall and the entire floor was bordered off to the public, under constant watch by those useless guards. Seriously, this is where the majority of stallions end up? Now I know why there are so few stallions, they all join the guard and get killed due to lack of training.

When I reached our room I set Mothy in his bed and went outside of Cadences room and sat on a chair beside the door to think about some things. That and I didn't want a repeat of earlier. I started thinking about what happened at the bar, I never intended to let Molly know those things, now if done something that I can't just get rid of by shooting it or stabbing it.

"What have you gotten yourself into Gray?" I asked myself before placing my head in my hands. "I need to be more careful when Mothy smirks, it only leads to bad things."

"Bit for your thoughts?" I turned to see Cadence poking her head out oh her door.

"Sorry, did I wake you?"

"No, I was reading a book when I felt some conflicted emotions nearby."

"Oh yeah, princess of love and whatnot." I slumped back in my chair.

"Come in so we can have a talk. You look like you could use a voice of reason." I nodded and followed her into her room. She motioned for me to sit down on a couch and sat beside me. "So, tell me, what's got you so aggravated?" I sighed questioning whether or not to tell my client about my personal business.

"Back at the bar, Mothy and I got into a conversation about relationships, I asked him about a mare he's been dating and he asked me if there was someone in my life or if there ever was. I started describing the only person to ever catch my eye and how much I liked her. Then when I turned around said person was standing right behind me and heard everything."

"What did you do?"

"I left, when she heard me say those things she froze and I couldn't bring her back to reality, so we left." She put a hoof to her chin in thought.

"What was her expression?"

"Looked like a mix between shock, surprise, relief and a few other things I can't really describe." She nodded and thought about the situation.

"What do you plan to do about it?"

"Nothing." Her expression showed shock and confusion.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"But why, it seems like she feels the same way, so why do nothing?"

"My job." She looked at me confused but then she realised what I meant.

"What you're saying is that you CANT do anything about because of your mercenary work." I nodded. "Than why not try to find another job?"

"Because of them." I pulled out a photo of Me, Mothy, Clawback and Pyro. "If I leave the group then the whole team falls apart, they don't have the management skills I do, and they got nowhere else to go. I can't abandon them, their like my brothers. We're a family."

"Why can't you be together anyway, I'm sure you could still make time for each other." I shook my head.

"I don't want to put that burden on her. Every time I go on a job I put myself at risk, I could die on any one of them, imagine what that would be like for her, knowing that the one she's in love with could die at any given moment."

"Gray, I don't know what to say here, you've trapped yourself in a constant argument on whether to leave Lone Wolf or to stay, and your reasons for staying out way the reasons for leaving." I sighed.

"I know." I looked at her with a smile and scratched her ear. "Thanks for listening to me Candy." She huffed.

"Don't call me that." I began walking out the door.

"I'm still gonna call you that, Candy."

"I'm warning you."

"Too bad cause I'm doin it." Before she could say anything else I closed the door and entered my room. I found Mothy dreaming.

"Hehe........hehehehehehehe......." I knew full well what he was dreaming about.

"I swear to god I'm gonna cut your wings off."
