This week, in "Occupied Equestria":
Wondering through through the Changeling lands at night on the road between Bales and Whinnyapolis, Onyx, Brie, and Spark have stumbled upon a set of farm ponies trying to hide their cattle in the forest, away from their changeling occupiers. While rescuing a cow, Onyx and Brie have taken heavy damage, and so they followed them to the cabin of a local woodspony. But they found the woodspony and a farmer replaced by changelings, and after a skirmish are alone and wounded in the cabin in the woods.
Over in Baltimare, Dark Star has decided to give up his life as Dark Star, the Earth Pony farm colt, to become Tyrel Jackson, or "Gold Chains," a zebra and aspiring rap artist. Through the magic of Valmorification, it is possible. Iron is freaking out after possibly having received a message from God herself. That, and his usual social awkwardness. Silver is cashing out on a long standing set of projects, and is readying himself for the next phase

Iron would rather not get into another fight by all of that borderline love confession vibes over there with the polyamorous pegasus and her tools making him slightly ill, so he proceeds to go sit back down with Dark Star and hope they don't start shagging in public.

Silver knows how futile that belief is firsthoof. This path you trot, vengence: you will find no peace in it. I know.
"I could sit here for eternity, just you and I..." He sighs. "I do wish we did not have to part just yet."

With this, a slight joe comes into her eyes. A malign hope. Her mouth opens ever so slightly
Many mares would ask “why me? What seems so good about me?” But not Skies. She sees no point in looking a gift horse in the mouth

Is she trying to go in for the kiss or something?
Silver smiles from this (mostly) pleasant change in mood. With a forehoof, he wipes Skies' bangs out of the way of her face to get a good look at her.

A long snoot, with medium grey skin, azure white coat that has been shampooed into feeling like a teddy bear, a straight mane of medium length that has never really been styled, and two big, almost shiny turquoise eyes that can look jade under some lighting conditions. All with an unsettling smile

So little flair to your response, too.
Rather tempting.
I'll call your bluff.
Iron stands up from the seats, going for the exit yet again.

He obviously spot the duo again, knowing they're going for shagging and are still there.
(She will get what she deserves later.)
"Try to keep quiet, you two. I expect you do not want Star to know~"
He inmediately walks out, leaving them behind and actually go outside.
(As for me, I have to test my fate after all of this.)

Oddly enough, the lack of shagging on Silver's mind makes him confused about this statement. "Uh...thanks?"
>>110689
"Right this way." Silver leads the way to his tavern room. It's quite apparent that Silver needs some new type of storage solution, considering how she sees the addition of the supplies he bought but didn't use today. "I apologize for mess. I do not have much space to store it all." At least the bed is clear for the ponies to sit on.

"I just wanted quiet moment together, little bit like what we were just doing. Except, now we are in more comfortable conditions." Silver sits down on the bed and pats next to him as an invitation to sit.

Iron feels the chills.
(They know it is time for judgement.)
Naturally, he scouts out a big building to jumpp off of. He must know if he is actually meant to keep going after all this self-inflicted pain he received.

"...okay, slightly more comfortable conditions. It is certainly not as nice as your room at Grand Baltimare Hotel, at at least we are out of cold and yuck."
He turns to face her and opens his forelegs to her in an offer of a hug, similar to how they were before they arrived here.

And Silver is happy to warm her up with the excess of floof he has. He lays back into the bed until they're effectively in a cuddling position, with Blue as the little spoon. "As nice as living only few feet from bar is, I think having actual place to live with nice bedroom, excellent bathroom, and proper kitchen would be better." He gives the soft pegasus he's holding a squeeze. "Are you sure you have no idea what housing costs in city?"

Sadly not enough.
He must go further.
Perhaps it can be done by doing some very risky stuff and if he survives, he solidifies his role as needed, but the job he's being offered is going nowhere.
He smiles madly.
(Maybe I could vandalize that rich neighborhood where Comte was again and see how far I can take it. That could be fun. Should be easy to follow since I traveled to it from that tavern.)

The idea that she would leave makes him hold her against him tighter, like he doesn't want to let her go. "Oh? Where would you want to get transferred to?"

The ear twitches down, then back up in a little flop
"What is there to say? Tall, grass covered mountains. Playing with my old classmates in flower covered meadows. The hard faces on the citizen soldiers as they come back from maneuvers..."

"It sounds as lovely as always." He rests the bottom of his chin on the top of Blue's head. The quiet sound of his breathing is clear to the little spoon pegasus, who can feel his chest rise and fall like clockwork. "But you do not have any other stories to share?"

While he remains silent, she can feel him nod after a second. While she continues to be cuddled he begins to contemplate certain subjects that have been on his mind, the first that comes being that of Comte and what he was allowed to do.

Yes, very pleasant, I know. It doesn't take long for Silver to pose a question he's been meaning to ask her: "Blue, if you were giant, as in tallest giant that ever existed, and your legs began to rot out from under you, how long would it take your head to realize?"

That actually gets a laugh out of him. "Fair enough..." He takes it as a sign to change mental tracks, with him now appreciating the mare he's cuddling with now. "If you are anything to go off of, I think I might have to try this 'spa' thing, myself. Wow, you are soft..."

"Damn right I'm soft" she says, with her eyes closed, and she lightly stretches out her legs
"It's not a bad way to spend the afternoon"

Silver moves a round a little to give her the space needed for the stretching. "Well, perhaps on quiet day, we could go through spa together, partake in all of their services? You could show me first-hoof what it is all like." After a couple seconds, he adds: "I would buy, of course."

Silver would certainly hope so. He continues to revel in being in her presence, and the nice, quiet, calm atmosphere around them. Everything is right with the world, in this moment. "I already can not wait, I must admit...perhaps if everything goes smoothly tomorrow, we might get chance to, then."

Silver nods, finding no reason not to. "It was nice place. It was cool, clean. Soil would always feel cool and moist beneath your hooves, regardless of trotting along dirt roads in city or trekking across forests or meadows. In summer you could watch wheat fields sway in breeze coming from Middle Sea, and ponies would trot between towns to trade or work, or take train or take boat ride down river. In winter you would not see too many ponies outside as it was too cold, and you could not grow crops because ground itself would often freeze solid, but there was enchanting stillness about world at those times. Ancient forests of tall conifers, and pleasant meadows of flowers would be spread throughout countryside, only broken by occasional hill or marsh.
"In Petershoof, there was such variation between new and old parts of city that trotting from Docks, to Market, to Old Town, it felt like travelling between different cities. New buildings would be made of brick and mortar, but old were made of stone, timber, and thatch. In Old Town, especially, each building felt like it was part of some storied past of my people, with each having its own history. My father's smithy was in Old Town, but it was close enough to Market that travelling there was no hassle at all. Sometimes, when my father let me go for day, I would wander to Market and see what all different types of goods and toys they would have for sale in market stalls, both made in Severyana and from abroad, or I would go and visit travelling performers that would always be set up in market square. Even when there were none, there were always plenty of cabaret shows, theaters, orchestras, plays, and other displays of our culture around city. Most colts I would hang out with would try to sneak into cabaret showings to see dancing mares, but I always liked comedians they would have in cabaret, or magic shows. Then you had beautiful Orthodox churches, with their great domes of stone and bronze, and by Docks you could visit Peter and Pony Fortress, where Peter the Great himself layed first bricks of his city."

Iron suddenly gets this crazy idea: If he failed so hard and consecutively now, then he can't go lower than he currently is. Ergo, immense confidence boost.
(I think I can go see Cauldron now.)
Hustling in a jog pace, he trots back to Cauldron's apartment, like a big boulder rolling down a steep hill persecuting a careless explorer who set off the trap.

I apologize if I seem abnormally absent. I've been helping my mom out while she recovers.
Silver smiles at her. "There were also plenty of museums dedicated to our history and those who made it. There was class trip we would always take every year when I was in school to learn about history of Severyana. Art, music, writing, poetry, philosophy. But what we really focused on were great leaders from our past: from Grand Prince Terrible Ice, who made first attempt to unite Northern Ponies under one banne, and was known for his contributions to art and culture, to Empress Catherine the Great, who helped build Severyana into empire to rival even Equestria, even forming colonies of our own in Vedina. And so many others, from our earliest days, all way to very last leader of free Severyana."
