"Alright then, I think it's safe to say that I won't be needing to advertise for a roommate." Roden said with a smile as he got out of his seat and took the empty teacups into the kitchen area of his apartment.

"Wait, I thought you wanted to learn more about my personality." Sapphire stated with a hint of confusion.

"I had a second to think and figured that I'd prefer to get to know you through experience rather than you just telling me about your personality." Roden explained as he began to scrub the cups down in the kitchen sink.

"Wouldn't it be easier for me to just tell you?"

Roden stopped for a moment to glance at her before returning to his cleaning. "Probably, but I prefer to experience things without knowledge of what to expect, unless it's something that I absolutely need to know in advance."

Sapphire just stared at him in thought, surprised to hear something like that from someone related to Blueblood. Shaking her head she got up and made her way to the door. "Well, I'll just be going, I got your number from Vice Principal Luna, so I'll call you to see if you're ready for me to move in."

"Now where do you think you're going? I'm fine with you moving in as soon as you want, you haven't even seen your room yet." Roden called in from the kitchen, catching Sapphire off guard.

"Oh...ok then. Which room is it?"

"Second room on the left down the hall, here I'll show you." Roden set the now clean and dry teacups in the counter before drying his hands and walking out to the blue haired girl. "Follow me."

Following Roden further into the large black and green appartment, Sapphire began to take in more of her surroundings. As they passed a cabinet that was just before the hall Sapphire stopped to look at a photograph on the top of the black wood furniture. It was of a younger looking Roden, probably around thirteen years old, with four other people. One was Chrysalis, another was a man of slightly above average build with peach skin and short dark green hair wearing a green suit with one arm around Chrysalis. Another was a teenage boy, looking around seventeen, who had light grey skin and spiky mossy green hair wearing a black t-shirt and green jeans. The last one was a little girl, looking around eight years old, with long dark purple hair and dark grey skin like Chrysalis. She wore a small dark purple dress and had a small black headband in her hair. The three young people in the photo were close to each other while Chrysalis and the man had their arms around the children. 'This must be his family.' She thought.

As she looked at more photographs she noticed that they were only of Chrysalis and Roden, a few with Celestia, Luna or Cadence in them. Apart from that the other three people from the first picture were nowhere to be seen. "Sapphire, you coming?" Roden asked as he reached the door to her room.

"O-Oh, yeah, coming now."

Roden just looked at her for a second before opening the door for her, letting her into her new bedroom. While not as spacious as the master bedroom, it was still relatively large. The huge bed was covered in white coverings and the furniture was bare, waiting to be decorated. "You can pick your own sheets and if you want we can style and repaint the room to suit your preference of you decide to live here for a long time."

"How can you afford all of this? The apartment alone must have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, then there's the furniture and decorations to think about." Sapphire asked as she walked in and took everything in, from the size of the bed to the height of the room.

"Well, my mother is the owner of a very large company and has shares in various other successful businesses, she also attends various parties to gain more support for her own industry and whatnot. Surprisingly this apartment didn't cost as much as you'd think, only about three hundred grand or so including the some of the furniture, most of it is from rooms from my mothers mansion that she doesn't need." Roden explained as he leaned against the doorframe.

Sapphire sat down on the end of the bed, looking around trying to figure out where to put her various items from her room in her parents home. "Yeah, I think this'll do me alright. What's the rent?"

"Well I don't really need to charge you anything, the place is paid off, I guess we can split the electricity bills or whatever of you really want to." Roden suggested while taking a few steps forward into the room with his hands in his pockets.

"I guess that could work. But let me ask you something first."

Roden titled his head slightly. "Alright, what's your question?"

"Why are you being so welcoming to me? You hardly know me but you're just allowing me into your home with little information on my actual personality or past. So why? Is this some attempt to get with me or something?"

Roden smiled before turning to walk out of the room. "Trust me, if I had that kind of motivation I would have wooed you by now. If Auntie Luna was the one that sent you here then she obviously trusts you, so then I trust you."

"Wait, how would you have gain my affections so easily?"

Roden stopped in the doorway and turned his head. "My mother is Chrysalis remember? She taught me a thing or two while I was growing up in case I needed the skills she has." With that Roden closed the door behind him and walked down the hallway with his hands in his hoodie pockets.

As he came to the end of the hall he stopped and turned towards the cabinet, picking up the photo of his family.

"Roden, don't start blaming yourself again." Zanny scolded.

"I try not to, but there's so much I could have dome to prevent it, I had the opportunity but I didn't take it..." Roden responded weakly, his left cheek beginning to burn under his scarf.

"Put it down Roden, stop punishing yourself." Zerlinda said softly.

Snapping out of his trance Roden shook his head and set the picture down before moving towards a bottle of whiskey. He poured himself a glass and downed the drink before sighing. "Confound these voices in my head, they drive me to drink..."

Author's Notes:

Yeah, decided not to,put the crossover on this story, but Rodeh will still be featured in it.

So we've gotten a bit more on Sapphire and it seems as if Riden is facing his own issues with family. Things will be getting interesting, but I'll still try to keep a comedic tone to it all.
