Emerald says that he was chased out of a cave by those things while exploring it.
 
Venator doesn’t speak, but continues to stare, making it clear that he is waiting for Emerald to say more.
 
Emerald says that he’ll say more if he takes the cuffs off.
 
Venator back hoofs Emerald, causing the colt to fall to the ground. His head still swimming, he attempts to stand up, but pulls back slightly when he sees Venator towering above him.
 
“You will not make demands of me. Those cuffs will come off when I decide they shall come off.”
 
“S-sir! Please, he’s just a child~~” Alarcis says, but shuts her mouth the second Venator turns her direction.
 
“Do not be so easily fooled. Magic can do all kinds of things, and making someone younger just happens to be one of those things. For all we know he could be a warlock himself!”
 
Emerald looks up at the stallion, who looks back down at him. The colt’s cheek still smarts, but he is afraid to rub it.
 
“Tell me about the caves. Unless pain something you enjoy.”
 
Tears started to well up in Emerald’s eyes.
 
“Answer me now warlock!”
