You and Maud are kinda becoming friends and she smiled..

Maud led you in a cave filled with bright and colorful gems, you are amazed by the vibrant colors so you look around

You ask Maud why she’s so interested in rocks

Maud: monotone voice Each rock has a different story to tell. she pulls a small rock that she named Boulder out of her cloak

she continues Like Boulder here, she points at a very faint line on the rock with her hoof This tells me he’s over 2,000 years old. she looks closer to Boulder You don’t look a day over 600. she puts the rock back inside her cloak.

You are extremely impressed with how much Maud knows about rocks. You start to find rocks interesting now

You walk towards an extremely shiny blue gem, Maud then speaks up again behind you

Maud: monotone voice Another reason I like rocks: They don’t exclude you if you’re.. she looks away and pauses Different. Than other ponies..

You rephrased what Maud said in your head

You: laughs I think I’m starting to like rocks too!

when you walk away to look at other gems, you could’ve sworn that you saw Maud smile. But it was at the corner of your eye. Plus, Maud barley smiles, she always has that emotionless look on her face..
