(Jason POV)

I sat at the crystal table, looking at all of the ponies and the young dragon, I had already been introduced, so there's no need. They each had their own signs of worry for Orion. If what he said is true and he has only been here for a day, then I'm surprised how they actually care about him. I was soon interrupted from my thoughts as Celestia spoke, "So....Jason, what can you tell us about Orion?" She asked.

"Well, it depends on what you want to know." I replied adjusting my glasses. I was always a more quiet guy.

"How long have you two known each other?" She asked.

"Eight years." I said shocking a few of them.

"Wow. Ahm surprised somepony as disrespectful as 'im has any friends at all." Applejack said. I looked around and she got a few nods in agreement.

"Has he been a jerk to all of you?" I asked making them all nod and I sighed before speaking again, "Don't worry, he's a nice guy, he just needs time to adjust. It's one of his ways of coping."

"Coping?" Twilight asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yep. We all have our own ways of dealing with stress after all." I replied making them all nod in understanding.

"So, what's he like back where you both are from?" Rainbow Dash asked me.

"Well, he's random. You never know what he's thinking until he says it, and he's a really funny guy." I say remembering the time we played Halo oddball and he kept shouting 'PROTECT THE PORN!!!'

"So, he's like Pinkie?" Twilight asked me.

"Yes and no." I reply. "Yes because he will laugh at a lot of things really, and no because he doesn't try to make friends. Though, he has been through a lot in his life." I put my hand--- uhh, hoof, to my chin and remember the things he told me.

"Like what?" Rainbow said flying over to me.

"It's not my place to say. If you want to know, talk to him about it." I say to her. 'They seem like nice ponies, but I can't just tell them everything.' I thought to myself. After I said that, everyone went silent. This went on for about ten minutes before Fluttershy got up and tried to go upstairs.

"I'll go check on him." She said before I got up to stop her.

"Well, I think it would be best if he were to be alone right now." I say leading her back. "Orion barely acts like this as nothing really upsets him that much, but if you see him like this, leave him alone. He could get violent." I say to them and they nodded in understanding.

"Well Jason. How do we know he isn't in one of these moods anymore." Luna asked me. I put my hoof back on my chin and think about the three times Orion had been like this, it wasn't long before I gave them the simplest answer for this situation.

"You don't."

They looked at me in confusion. Each had a different expression of this, except for Celestia and Luna, with the latter showing a bit of worry and I decide to call her out on it.

"You talked to him, didn't you?" I ask her. "He has that effect on people. At first glance, he's a jerk, but when you really sit and talk with him, you know. Granted he will never reveal everything. He hasn't even told me all of his secrets."

"So, we'll know what he's like when we talk to him?" Rarity asks.

"Only if he wants you to know." I say to them adjusting my glasses again.

"I already know what he's like." Rainbow said. "He's a selfish, disrespectful jerk, that has no care about anypony else." She said with a huff.

But that got me laughing, surprising everyone else. "I-I'm sorry. But what you said reminded me of something Orion said to me a few years back. He said that if a girl is disrespecting you and talking crap about you, she likes you." That gave Rainbow Dash a deep blush on her cheeks.

"WHAT!?" She yelled out making everyone laugh and made Celestia and Luna giggle about it. "I'm gonna kill him." She said through gritted teeth. Before she could fly off after him, she was enveloped in a golden aura by Celestia.

"Calm down Rainbow Dash. It was a simple joke he said a few years ago." She said in a motherly tone.

"Well, umm, what does he like? If you don't mind me asking." Fluttershy spoke in a whisper after everything quieted down.

"Umm let's see, he likes games, animals, reading, jokes, making sure of every little detail, he has OCD for that, umm he likes to draw and just wants to entertain others in his own way. He would create the most ridiculous scenarios in our games and when we play a certain game, he hides in what he calls a 'Troublesome' spot. Being a very obscure item in an obscure hiding place, and taunt others." That made them all except Rainbow smile. "Oh, and he and I get very competitive against each other." That made her grin maliciously as she rubbed her hoofs together. Might need to worry about that.

"Well Jason, thank you for an insight into our new visitor." Celestia said as she got up. "And from what you've said about your friend, he seems like he will fit in here in Equestria." She said leaving the room. "I need to get back to Canterlot and deal with the nobles in day court."

"And I need to get some sleep. I don't want to be tired in the night. That is very unnatural to me." Luna said leaving as well.

'Unnatural? Sleeping in the night? Is she this worlds version of the Sandman?' I thought getting up as well, but to only stretch my legs. God this will take some getting used to. I smile as I stretch and everyone but Twilight had left the room.

"So...What do you do for fun?" She asked me.

I just shrugged and said, "Nothing that this world has, but I do enjoy history. Do you happen to have any books in that category?" I asked and she gave me a smile that would rival Orion's.

"Come with me." She spoke dragging me to the library.
