"AH.... I know I'm not used to dealing with ponies too much, but it is the bosses that take care of the needs of the employees."

"I thought it was your job to do as you're told?" he asked, ignoring or perhaps forgetting that her 'job' is waitress.

"So... you want to take care of me... because... it's your job? For that reason...and that reason only?" he asked, wanting to be sure that he had the parameters correct.

He blinked. "Why?" he asked. He knew he didn't like it when she was hurt, but he still wasn't fully sure why. Besides not being the kind of pony that delighted in the pain of others, that was. Some how when she had been hurt, specifically, he had been scared, worried, anxious, and afraid. But he hadn't reacted that way to the pain of anyone else fighting their way through the lava.
