“Hello, I am Londar and this here is little Archer, who do I have the honor to see today?”
Twilight stood there, taking a shallow but longer breath, taking the situation in, her mind ran incredibly fast right now.
If her assumptions where right, than right in front of her smiling and missing an arm was a Human, a borderline mythical creature that, if even just the actually somewhat comprehendable claims about it where true, could possibly be powerful enough to be considered to be on the Sisters level, ever living, in league with forces from beyond the mortally comprehendable realms and, for all ponydome knows, could be considered a living god.
Twilight was not sure how accurate these claims where, after all, she had only time to read Starswirls extended comprehendium's sections of 'The Ancient Times', 'The remnants of The lost History of Old', 'The Ancient Realms', 'The virtual Sovereigns of The morning times of the first Societies' and the writings of the ancient Griffon warrior philosoph Migeal.
No she hadn't even one moment of sleep since the incident of yesterday and was just about to speak with Lyra the, conveniently locally residing, greatest ancient history expert this side of the Celestial Sea on the matter of Humans and the Ancient Realms.
The, very much, unnerved young Alicorn had hastily decided to let Lyra wait in the Hospitals entrance hall as she was practically stormed by nurse Tenderheart.
Originally she had planed to speak here with Lyra and catch hopefully at lest one or two hours of sleep, but well fade had different plans it seamed.

Twilights entire recollecting of the Aftermath of yesterday took astoundingly not even three seconds, for all she know 'This' could go horribly wrong.
Than her mind caught up with her observation, there sat a filly on this Humans lap, he introduced him self as Londar and the filly as 'little Archer' that meant, even in Twilight's quite thin book of social norms and behaviors, 'He' was at least not mad.
What, by all means, in and of it self rang, very tiny but still there, alarm bells in Twilight's mind, she had no clue why, but that was certainly no normal behavior.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, no time to think about that.
She was sure she would regret that decision, most likely she would regret this decision within two minutes, but she had to take the situation and get it under her control, like the Books she had read about ruling and how to present one self as a strong ruler persisted on, and she was sure she would mess this up.
She knew everything about that matter, but she was sure she had, at least something, misunderstood, after all Princes Celestia behaved quite differently than what she had thought of the first docent times she had reflected about the matter.

Something poked her left side, what in turn got her back to the here and now, she looked at Londar and the filly, he smiled, a slight smirk present, the filly looked at her with an expression that hinted to her that she had bin silent for a prolonged period of time, yup she had already messed up, took her at most twenty seconds and not a single word, new personal record.

Well the Cat had already drowned, she still couldn't understand where the expression actually came from, so no reason for any further, or any at all, formalities.

“Hi,” Twilight chirped borderline Pinkie chipper, “I'm Twilight, princess of Friendship and thees are two of my best Friends, Fluttershy ” she nodded to her right ”Ponyvils animal caretaker, and Applejack,” she nodded to her left ”biggest Apple farmer in the region.”
Twilight smiled plastic, single strands of hair poking out of her mane “how are you?”

Londar's smirk grew “Oh,” he started slightly theatrically “I am quite fine, thank you for your concern dear princess Twilight,” He smiled sincere, looked to Fluttershy nodded slow, closing his eyes like a cat does to show 'I don't mean any harm, lets be friends', addressing her “Fluttershy,” turning his attention to the Orange Mare addressing her in turn, nodding with an clear smile topping it with an wink “Applejack”, turning his attention back to Twilight ” still parched, a bit beaten and short of my favorite arm, but non the less very entertained.”
Littel Archers mouth started to hang slightly open and very slowly she started too look back up to Londar, an expression on her face that clearly communicated 'I'm surrounded by Ponies that are nuts and you are there king!'

Applejack was unsure if she actually just witnessed that or not, after all Twilight had nearly a mental breakdown earlier as nurse Tenderheart had ambushed them with the news that there 'unknown Guest' just had awoken and Twilight had found out over night that there Guest was a so called Human and these Humans where allegedly so powerful, ancient and borderline mythical that even the most well studied Specialists knew barely anything about them, Lyra even told them there where no actual, by today's standards proven, Facts known, only ancient manuscripts and very old oral lore and of that, the newest lore was from around Discords reign, regarding something about winter.

She looked over to Fluttershy, which in turn looked even more stunned than she felt.

“Now, Twilight” This Londar Fellow started, holding his head in such a fashion that he practically looked up to her elevating Twilight in her position in the conversation over him, taking the position of the fragile faction “others don't bind a future friend to a Bed,” in his eyes the slightest hint of something else” taking there freedom, in an cold and inhospitable place and instead introduce them to the rest of there future friends. And I am happy that you would not do that either.”

Twilight stood there for a second, silent.
Applejack looked from Twilight's frozen expression to Londar's warmly smiling, it compelled her to like the Fellow.
She looked to Fluttershy, who in turn looked very awake and interested.

“No, of cause not. But do you feel well enough to stand on your own? You got quite injured yesterday.”
Londar hummed in contemplation carrying a tone of absolute convinced honesty “Well yes, I got injured yesterday, but for that I feel quite well, don't worry about my missing arm, we can fix that fairly easily. After all I am certain, if I would stumble,” His eyes flicked to Appeljack “Strong Applejack would help me up, and if I would hurt my self,” His smile shifted to Fluttershy “Dear Fluttershy's tender care would help me get better in but a day.” Londars attention changed back to the fairly new Alicorn “and if I would need any other help I can count on you Twilight.”

Silence reigned for but a moment, than a smile on Twilight's lips, followed by the sound of belts being undone.
Little Archer hummed to her self in contemplation...
