The ranger — Catskill — agreed to the questioning… not exactly with resignation, but pretty close. Bitterroot hated to put her on the spot so soon after learning a life-changing revelation like… that, but she needed to know now. But Catskill’s answers only made things more confusing; by all accounts, Amanita had seemed relatively normal. Awkward or nervous, even. Yes, Bitterroot knew ponies could lie and act, but she also knew — from experience — that sheepish self-awareness was one of the harder personalities to pull off. Amanita faking being that kind of pony just didn’t add up.
