As long as no one has any problems I'll just be rp'ing Granite as though he just arrived as a migrant

"This is it eh?" Granite asked the seemingly empty air around him.
"As far as I can tell, the place smells delicious," responded a second voice that seemed to come from Granite's mouth.
"You're going to have to stop doing that if we want to actually stay here for a while," Granite chided the voice as he look at the fort from the hill he was standing on. "Well, no time like the present to see how long it takes them to run us out this time," he said smiling as he shifted his pack around, bringing his mining pick to the front.
"Just make sure I get something to eat soon," the voice reminded him.
"Speak in my head, not with my mouth. I've told you that a million times!" Granite growled.
Fine, fine. Is this better your majesty? the voice asked mockingly.
"Much." Granite grunted as he looked for a nice clear path to the front of the fortress, it looked like there was some sort of commotion out front... "Oh hell," he muttered as he recognized a Diomedian ambush party. "Looks like you might get a meal sooner than you thought."
Excellent, traveling is always such hungry work, the voice said happily.
"Says the one that doesn't have to do any of the walking," Granite growled.
Please, you're a pony, you can eat grass. I can't and I'm hungry, it repeated piteously.
"We'll head in as soon as that raiding party is done with, that sound good?" Granite asked.
Excellent, be sure to head to head to the hospital, those places always have plenty of food, the voice reminded him.
"I know," Granite replied.
And make sure to- the voice started saying.
"I know that too, just lay low and try to keep in sync with me as much as you can. Don't want anyone detecting you before we at least can resupply," Granite interjected. As he looked down at the field in front of the fortress he saw that the Diomedian's were fleeing, apparently routed. With a grin he started trotting down the hill towards the fortress, shouting to the first pony he saw to let them know another migrant had shown up.
