Willow comes back to her native land to heal.

[Lucky Pony]

Willow nodded solemnly, choking back tears.
"Yeah.... The war's over. no worries."
She gave a half smile and petted a flustered Georgie.
"Hun.... you had a concussion and I-I- I LET YOU SLEEP!" Willow forced out sniffling slightly. "Its all my fault you fell into a coma! " Willow buried her face shamefully into the fur of the buffalo hide.

(OOC: Well we'll just say Bon left? Meh. I just got my stupid computer to let me stay logged in again. *hits computer, So anyways. Yeah, Is that alright?)

[Jewel]

Jewel frowned, shutting her eyes and pinning her ears against what seemed at first to be a piercing noise coming from Willow. After a few seconds of thinking and getting her wits about her, Jewel stood only a little shakily, and spoke to Willow:

"Willow.. no no.. it's alright. I'm fine, see? Good as new.." She stumbled over to Willow and put a wing around her shoulders, "You fixed me. I wouldn't have made it without you."

She smiled groggily, hoping she had convinced the mare that she didn't do anything she should be regretful of.

(ooc: I'm back! And I'm SO sorry it took me this long. The day after the week of house-sitting, I left for Florida. Just got home tonight, and I'll be here for a long time now!)

[Lucky Pony]

Willow blinked, her eyes were vacant, the tragedies of the past couple days stung like a scare that was severed open again.
"Jewel.. " willow called out softly as the rain still fell strong upon the roof, "Jewel... I don't know what to do... I-I-I have a feeling Ice isnt coming back...." Willow sighed, she felt what Jewel had felt earlier when Roux didn't show up.

[Jewel]

The goldish pegasus sighed, folded her wings, and sat down on the buffalo skin she'd been given to sleep on. She struggled for a few moments to find the right words of consolation. She sighed.

"You know everything happens for a reason," She started, hoping Willow would believe her, "So just remember that. Every little thing a pony does causes a ripple of thousands of other things. Maybe his leaving will in some way benefit you later. You know? I know it hurts now.. it has to. But you'll get through it and move on from it. Stallions can be real blockheads sometimes anyway.." the winged one snorted and offered a friendly smile.

[Lucky Pony]

Willow smiled slightly.."In a way I guess your right.. have you ever met Tristan?" Willow seemed as to change the subject quickly," A big black stallion, lots of piercings etc etc? I just recently met him, he said he would, come back to visit me, but I feel like somthings holding him back, At first I thought it was Ice, but now... " Willow sighed, "I'm worried about him, he's not the kinda guy to just leave a pony."

[Jewel]

Jewel searched her memory for the first few days she spent in ponyville.

"Yes.. I don't believe I met him, but I did see him. In the cafe, I think." She pondered, her mind finally able to think and function without a headache.

"Worried about Tristan, or Ice?" She asked, not sure which the mare had meant.

[Lucky Pony]

"Both..." Willow admitted, although she was worried about Tristan a little more than Ice... How could she think that? Tristan had somthing that Ice didn't and she was torn between to two. Of course it was obvious that Ice loved Willow, but Tristan never admitted to such a thing, yet Willow was drawn towards the dark stallion.

[Jewel]

"I wish I knew more about them so I could tell you," She shrugged, not able to be of help. "Is there anyone else you could ask, who might know?"

Jewel's mind drifted to Roux, and she brought her thoughts to a stop before they travelled on to the stallions of her past. There wasn't anything in there she needed to remember. Maybe, except for Hero...

"There was a stallion I knew once," She mused, smiling slightly at the memory of him, "He was tall, strong, and just dashing. Blue, with gold hair, and two swords crossed over a heart for a symbol.. his name was Hero. He made my world go round for a while.. never got too close to him.. and one day, he went off to battle.. I never saw him again." She sighed, though it was evident she had squared with the memory, and it no longer hurt to think about.

[Lucky Pony]

"jewel.. Thats Why I think I connect with you so much, weve been through a lot of the same things, I just wanna let you know how much I aprecciate you always being there for me." Willow smiled and gave thumper a hearty pat on the head before she jumped off the ground, and looked down at jewel energetically,
"Soooooo What do ya wanna do?"

[Jewel]

Jewel's gaze had led to the window, and her ears suddenly perked forward with interest.

"Willow.. it's snowing!" She made no immediate move to run out into it or toward the window, only stated the fact that seasons were indeed changing, and a light snow was falling.

"I think I'd like to get home.." The pegasus sighed, getting up. "I haven't been there in a while, and I need to make sure everything's in order. Maybe later on we can go sledding, if there's enough snow?" She asked with a smile.

[Lucky Pony]

Willow smiled.. "Whaddya know! it IS snowing!!" the cream mare ran to the window and peeked outside.
"Yeah.." she spoke, "I suppose you should be on your way... thanks for keeping me company...." Willow smiled and held our her forelegs for a hug.
"take care of yourself now, and yeah I'd love to go sledding!"

[Jewel]

Jewel smiled and hugged her friend before walking to the door, "Thanks for letting me stay."

After their goodbyes and see-you-soons were said, the tanish gold pegasus braced herself for the chill outside. With one last wave of a wing, she began along the road home.
