Scoots explained how she ended up in the Dogs clutches. Something about a fight with Dash, leading to Scoots trying to prove herself by getting to the top of the mountains. I respect the kids gumption, and gave her a soft scolding -- I'm sure she was in for worse when we got back, so I kept it light. Kid already knew she messed up, so she didn't need me ripping into her about it. She's been sticking pretty close to me, since. She asked the obvious questions, of course. Rather than try to guide a kid into lying, I just played it overtly blunt. Told her I had some 'Human stuff that let me beat them up real good from far away'. She bought it. The look from Dina told she, however, didn't. I think Griffonia might be more warfare oriented than Equestria; they didn't mind what I did, but I knew the Ponies I knew would freak.
