Yeah. I don't know what that was -- some stupid First Ones' stuff again, I guess.

. . .Hey. I'm sorry. For--you know, for all of that.

Thanks.

[she relaxes a little more and sits back up again, scooting back to rest her back more against the wall]

Being at war did horrible things. To everyone. Even you.

[Laughs a little bleakly.]

What, you don't think the Horde was all fun and games after you left?

Of course not. If anyone got to have fun and games, it was obviously me.

So much so that it was seriously kind of stressful sometimes.

[a beat]

But I meant what happened—- the... destroying the room. Holding on even after they tried to execute you can’t have been good for anyone, not even you.

[Her tail lashes sharply a couple times, and then she abruptly changes the subject, not even trying to be smooth about it.]

I'm not sorry about setting Brightmoon on fire, though. A place that sparkly is just asking for it.

[what.

A frown.]

Not everything that glitters needs to be set on fire.

Except future’s glitter pit. That should be set on fire.

That's debatable.

You can't honestly tell me you liked their decorating scheme.

[she opens her mouth. Closes it.

Thinks.]

I don’t remember it. The outside looked nice to me?

No way. It looked like one of those weird cake things you get from the cafe. Who builds a place that indefensible in the middle of a thousand year war?

[she shrugs]

It's still standing, though.

Uh, yeah, because you cheated and brought a water Princess and some weird magical rainbow.

Oh yeah. Using every resource you have available is definitely cheating.

It is when it's a stupid rainbow.

Oh nooooo, you got touched by color.

[she giggles a bit]

Can't have that!

You nearly flipped a tank onto me! But yeah, sure, that's one way to win the war, I guess, since Hordak is next to useless.

... Throwing tanks is fun, but apparently the princesses frown on it.

You sure? They seemed pretty okay with it from what I remember.

The memory I had just before this, I got told by Perfuma to not throw a tank.

[imitating her voice,]

"She-Ra! Put! The tank! Down! We do not throw tanks at our friends!"

Ah, yeah, see -- "at our friends". It's like the people around this place. Stuff you do is wrong and bad if they like the person that's affected by it -- but, hey, as long as you're aiming for people they don't care about, it's totally cool.

The Princesses were fine with you throwing tanks as long as it was at the Horde.

...

[she considers]

Maybe. But I don't know if that's the exact annoying thing about it. I bet she would've been fine with a tank landing on her? She tried to throw one at us five minutes later!

Who did you even throw a tank at?

She was in the last memory, with you. Sssssscorpia?

[tentatively because. maybe it makes sense?]

She looked like she was under the same... mind control effect.

[Oh.

Oh.]

––What? How?

[she shakes her head.]

I don't know. But Prime must've been on Etheria. And-- I had another memory of me fighting a bunch of robots that I assumed was him. They definitely didn't look like Horde tech.

It... was probably after I destroyed the sword. That was when we got stars, and moved out of that pocket dimension.

But. . . Scorpia?

She didn't deserve anything like––like that.
