[At the Foot of Fourstar Tower]

She kind of hoped it was something other than all the bullet holes...

Down was hoping she could get away with just keeping an eye out for trouble while they passed by...
But noooooo, apparently these insane ponies have a severe case of the FATAL CURIOSITY.

"Is...this the time? We have an escortee and have already brushed death more than once today.
If we linger here, we may not just brush by it."

It isn't safe, they're not in top form, and they have a non-combatant.
Several reasons to avoid combat or even something that smells dangerous.


Which...is why she's now looking around a little more worriedly.
Down flies up a little bit higher, expanding her viewing angle accordingly.

No surprises.
