Gryphon: You know, this whole experience taught me something...

Unicorn: To not sleep all day until you get hungry? Or need to poop?

G: Haha. Very funny. Actually that. And other stuff.

U: Pfff! You sat down on my back the whole time while I ran us away from that dragon.

G: Yeah. But now you know that you can run away with someone on your back! Nuance.

U: What?

G: Isn't that amazing? It means that I can still stay on your back and it would not bother you at all since I'm not slowing you down.

U: You lazy son of a-

G: Hey! Language! I'm perhaps lazy, but my mother, bless her soul, told me it was not proper to speak with such foul words whatever the occasion.

U: Oh yeah? Did she also told it was not proper to constantly abuse of your friend's help to survive?

G: Uh, no. She told me that a true friend is always there to help its friend without asking anything in return.

U: ...

G: So, if you excuse me I'll... *yawn* take a nap before we... Whoa!

The unicorn stopped and threw its friend off its back.

G: Hey! What's the big deal!?

U: Ahhh... Much better.

G: Okay. What's going on?

U: You know that you are heavy?

G: I'm not that heavy! And that's not what I asked! Why you threw me off your back?

U: You walk alone.

G: What?

U: You heard me. I'm sick of your slacking. For Celestia's love, you can even fly! Why in the name the sun princess you keep staying on my back?

G: Uh... Because we're... pals? And it doesn't bother your to-

U: No. Because you are lazy! If I haven't done nothing you would have stayed imprisoned in that huge cage, entertaining the passersby for years!

G: Hey! That's not true! I was waiting for the opportunity to work on that lock! It never presented itself until you get there and yell at those damn diamond dogs!

U: You threw me a pile of your poop straight to my head! I wanted to kick your butt so hard that you would poop by the other hole for days!

G: Tsk! You never did.

U: Of course I never did! Once I saw how badly you have been treated I knew I had to do something! And still haven't paid back or thanked me ever since we kick those owners' butts.

G: I.... I didn't?

The unicorn shook its head.

G: My goodness. How rude of me!

U: You can say that.

G: So, scratching that huge back itch you had on your side, helping you drink for that source with a glass, helping you to get that pretty mare and saving from that chocking....?

U: Uh...

The unicorn sighted in defeat.

U: You are right. Mostly for the chocking

G: I do remember that you haven't lasted a while with that sweet looking lady...

U: Hey! That's... that's not true. She.. she lied to me.

G: Huh? Lied about what?

U: She was too young.

G: What? She was as tall as you!

U: She said something about her family to be very tall and that she was a teen. Also her bigger brother came in.

G: No! No way! How did he...

U: She was wearing a magic collar with a tracking spell in it.

G: Sorry for that.

U: That's okay. But you still won't ride on my back.

G: What? Hey!

U: That last run have been hard on my me. I'm thankful the road is flat until the next town.

G: Oh. I got it!

U: What? You're going to finally walk?

G: Me? Nah. Why I would when I can fly?

U: I kept wondering until now...

G: I'm going to fly to the next town and take us a room in a Inn.

U: That's a great idea. But?

G: What, but?

U: What's the catch?

G: There is not catch.

The unicorn glared at the griffin.

G: Uh... In exchange you I fly back and you let me ride on you back.

U: Why you would not stay there?

G: Because I don't want my friend to stay all alone.

U: .... *sigh* I guess we'll have to wait until we get there.

G: Huh?

U: Come on lazybutt. Walk like a lion would.

G: Uh, I'm not part lion...

U: Huh?

G: I'm part-

U: Whatever. Move your lazy bones! I need a shower, a hot meal with a cider badly and a warm bed tonight.

G: Hey!

U: What?

G: I was honest.

U: About what?

G: I really want to take us rooms in the next town and come back to keep you company.

U: And why suddenly you care about my well-being?

G: Well... You made me realized something else.

U: What? That you can be a pain in the arse when you-

G: I needed a companion... A friend to help me. I know I'm lazy, but... I stayed in that cage for months. Nobody ever thought about helping me out until you came along. The only thing I could do for hours was eating, sleeping and dancing. The latest wasn't on my own will...

U: Aww, jeez. I told you that saving my life from chocking made us truce.

G: No! You did even better: you accepted me as a friend. And that I will need a life to pay you back.

U: Why are you suddenly melodramatic about all this?

G: Oh, uh.... nothing. Really. I'm...

U: Wait! Tell me.

G: I... began to write in my cage and...

U: Awww jeez...

G: What? I'm sure our adventures will sell so well we won't need to travel anymore...

U: Go back on my back or we'll stay there with you yacking for hours...

G: Really? Here I go.

U: Ow!

G: *gasp!* Are you all right?

U: Y-yeah. Don't worry.

G: Nah-ha! I'm going there, rent us rooms, take some pomade for your back and fly back here.

U: W-what? You don't need to-

G: I insist! Stay there, I'll be right back!

U: Uh, okay.

G: See you later, then!

The griffin took off and flew down the road while the unicorn sat on its haunches or the border of the road.

U: *sigh* I guess I will have that bird following me for while now. *chuckle* Not that I'm complaining. I sure enjoy its company but if I ever learn that I was the lazy one... I swear I...
