When Dream Gaze entered into the room, Ashti was surprised at first… he had find the office ? But he was relieved to see that he was come, although still stressed.
Unaware about Dream's chat with Shazadeh, and the recent event, Ashti still remembered about his last chat with Dream, in the Canterlot's Archives… during their meeting he had learn about on the Alchemist's past and knew about his darkness. However some demises made him think about it, and Dream Gaze. This one was more than a friend, and it was mutual so… what kind of friend will left his friend vanish into the darkness? He had let Dream Gaze go, knowing that this one was willing to play with darkness… it was his will and the Sandlander accepted it; Ashti was for that people become responsible of their acts and consequences, and do not interfere if this was not the willing of the people…
But for Dream it was different, he was ready to play with something very dangerous for him, and Ashti was just a fool to let his comrade play with his life or fell. So, for the first time, the Ambassador has thought about it and to stretch his personal code.
He then looked to Dream Gaze and sighted.
I… am glad that you have accepted. I am sorry… I know that… my request sounded odd…
The voice of Ashti was nervous, but tried to hide with a friendly smile. A fake one to reassure Dream and himself, which made him look like Shaynâ.
You have things to do, so I will try to get straight to the point. Mister Gaze… do you remember our chat in the royal archives ? … Though you have worried me with your behavior I… chose to let you… at the risk to never see you again, or at least not as yourself. Maybe you would have the ability or the power to tame the darkness. But I admit that you lose will be a great pain for me. You are one of the few people that I care.[/color]
Then the Sandlander paused, looking to the unicorn. Ashti's glance and words seemed sincere, really worried and caring for the Alchemist. Inertly he sighted, now he had to start the real chat. He just hoped that Dream Gaze will be receptive to his declaration. Because it was the first time (except for his mate) that he expressed and reveal his heart and mind.
However he continued in a sad voice.
You know, recently… I have lost near relations. My mentor, and my grandfather months after… with their deaths I have realized how much it hurt and… how much you are important to me, Dream…

Ashti didn't notice, but he just pronounced the first name of the Alchemist. It was the first time that he did it towards Dream Gaze, always calling him "Mister Gaze" by politeness and to make a little barrier due to his lack of knowledge about Dream Gaze. But this time, subconsciously, Ashti broke this barrier and resumed.
I know that you prefer darkness, and do you flee good feeling as happiness, to solitude. I maybe cannot change you Mister Gaze, but you are somepony dear to me, one of dearest in fact… and would like more than a friend or a casual comrade, you are like a brother to me and I do not want to lose a kin! No more…
Suddenly the glance of Ashti became sad and a tear crossed his cheek. With a nonchalant hoof he wiped it away.
I was unable to save the departed… but I can still save you. Even if you are distant and cold towards me, even if you do not want to laugh or need of my help, I want to be here for you, I will never let you down…
Finally Ashti sighted another time. We're there, he have done this. He have opened his heart and reveled how much he considered the Alchemist, but it was not finished and he walked in the bottom of the room in when a seal was drawn and that he joined, facing Dream Gaze and spoke with a solemn voice.
You are a brother to me, and now that you know it. We are not blood related although I would want to… Mister Gaze, I would like to know…[/color]
He moved a forehoof towards the unicorn, as for shake his hood and then smiled to him, a voice more warm, and the face relaxed. Looking like he always looked.
…Do you accept to be my blood brother, my sibling of oath…? Do you accept me as your... family?

When someone cared about someone other, to the point that they were like brother, there is a sandlandic tradition called the Sworn-sibling. It allow to unrelated people to become kin, sibling in an honorific but sincere way. It is generally not a proposal for fun, but serious and sacred. Those which do the oath became more than friend, they could became brother in arm but also considered as kin and even blood-related.
This was the ultimate bond between two people which trust and respect each other.
