After Luna and Celestia had ran away, He hadn’t cared to inform the state of their condition. merely acting liked he was still watching them, and collecting the checks, of course. Lulu and Tia had been surviving on the streets of Canterlot for over four years, before Sombra had traveled to their dimension and fond little Tia alone and scared in an alleyway, a stolen loaf of bread, a rag and a rusty pocket knife as her only possessions.
After bringing the girls under his care, he’d made sure they got the best in care. their health was rather bad, their knowledge minimal, and their table side manners non existent. The two alicorns didn’t know a fork from a spoon, nor that they were supposed to eat using them. He found it bitterly humorous to watch as they learned things they should have already known.
things his dimension’s Celestia and Luna had used to know…before he’d defeated them.
He vowed he’d protect these two from anything, he’d be the father figure they needed, and the guardian they should have had so long ago.
so it came with a ironic twist that when Mr. Split seam showed up in the crystal empire, demanding that the girls be returned to him, Sombra tore into him with all of the anger and hatred he could, whittling the sad excuse for a stallion down to his knees, and showing him that he was no longer…necessary.
I say might.
