Hooray!

Hey, new bread!

>>119000
hi

Hello little ponies

Here's my last post.

>>119006
D'awwwww.

>>119006
Hello! How are you?

>>119009
Um.... Eh...

>>119001 →
She stands up, and gets off the bed. No word or comment, with the same frown

>>119010
Iron uses the power of empathy to try and see what's going on inside her head that left her frowning.
[1d20 = 8]
<Sense Motive

>>119011
It seems there is or has been a discrepancy between expectations and reality

>>119012
Iron ponders this for a second, planting a hoof on Sands' flank.
"Wait."

>>119013
She turns around
“Yes?”

>>119014
Iron hums for a second before putting his hoof on her cheek, approaching her muzzle with his own.
"I can sense you want something," he says as he goes ever closer to her.

>>119015
She looks away for a moment, then back
“Perhaps...”

>>119016
Iron's breath can be felt near her muzzle at this point.
"Say it."

>>119017
Now, she looks right into his eyes with big, green, almost sad eyes of her own
“I want a promise”

>>119018
Iron is a bit surprised.
"Tell me."

>>119019
“That...”
She looks down, and rubs the ground with her left forehoof
“That when this is over...”
Looks up at Iron
“You will be my special somepony. And I, yours”

>>119020
Iron is stunned by the proposal, astonished that a mare actually offered him to be his special somepony.
He blinks at her dumbfounded.
"Why? I have not even made good on my promise yet," he utters, unintentionally revealing his insecurity. "How do you know you can trust me to accomplish what I promised?"

>>119021
She smiles, and pets the top of his head, over his ear with her left hoof
“Where the heart is... it will happen”

>>119022
Iron's ears droop, feeling quite conflicted over the issue.
"I... I do not know what to say..."
He looks at her with a bit of shame but determined.
"I still want to be with the zebra as well. I do not want to let her go."

>>119023
Now her ears droop
“Don’t think of her now. Think of me”

>>119024
Iron looks back at Sands, ears still drooped
"Can I not choose both you and the zebra?"

>>119025
“Can you commit your heart and time to me? We can work on this whole ‘zebra’ issue later. Just so long as you will be mine.”

>>119026
Iron thinks of all the good Cauldron has done to help him, from giving her home for him, treating his wounds and offering him companionship even though he almost broke it up after getting drunk and expressing his primal desires straight up.
Her smarts, cunning, resourcefulness, trustworthiness, dexterity and charm. He can't simply part away from that.
However, Sands has been quite the patient, caring and loving pony, letting him nuzzle her and use her body to alleviate his primal desires, specially with her soft, fluffy fur. He can't simply leave her behind either after what he did.
Because of this, he's basically at a standstill, shaking his head in mild desperation.
"I want to give my heart and time to both. Not one over the other."

>>119027
She sighs, then sits down, wrapping her tail around herself, as she lowers her head along with her ears
“Fine. Let me put it to you this way. If I had sex with you, I could become pregnant. Would my foal have a father with the love, the will, the money and the time to provide for her. Hold her. See her off to school in the morning. This is something I need to know with certainty.”

>>119028
Sorry for breaking the moment, Sands. Iron can't help but want two mares instead of one
Iron hums a bit before nodding with certainty.
"Yes, I will."

>>119029
She nuzzles him
“Hopefully in time you will give your whole heart”

>>119030
Iron holds her head close, placing his head over her, content with the agreement.
"I will never betray your trust, Sands. I promise you that."
His member has receded back to its sheathe at this point in time.

>>119031
She is pretty soft and comfortable to hug, sitting there. Her hair is soft under his muzzle. She now wraps her forelegs around him
“Good”

>>119032
He decides to hold her close, savoring the moment of slight tenderness.
However, he does have one last thing to say.
"Do not betray mine."

>>119033
“What are you implying?”

>>119034
He simply stays silent in the hug, not wanting to explain himself, lightly stroking her head tenderly.

>>119035
She pulls away from him, and eyes him

Unrelated question: what voodoo lets you have OP post numbers in even thousands?

>>119033
Also golly gee the autism emanating from Iron

>>119037
>>119039
>>119038
>autism
I don't blame you for thinking that because you probably didn't witness her ask for immunity after hearing Mala, the gnoll with Silver, ask for it when it was revealed he ate the bones of deceased pony slaves. If she felt compelled to call for immunity after hearing Mala eat dead ponies, then she has a big secret compared to eating pony bones, which is pretty bad.
>>119036
Iron smiles at her as if nothing strange happened or was implied.
"Why worry about something you will not do, Sands?"
He strokes her mane.

>>119042
She pulls away again to look at him with a partly open mouth
“The Hell are you even talking about?”

>>119045
Iron blinks at Sands.
"Are you feeling alright?"

>>119046
“Are you?”
She now pulls away entirely, and starts to slowly walk to the door, with a gait almost like a cat. She shakes her head as she nears the door

>>119047
"Yes," he responds calmly as he follows her.
"We should go back to the others now."

>>119042
Why would she have any idea of what Mala’s secret was? Why would she know that? Why would anyone except Mala know that? Why would anyone think that she could have known that before he said it?

>>119048
With our word, she opens the door and goes into the hallway

>>119049
Because Mala said so to everyone for the first three questions. The fourth question is a not relevant at this point because, as I've said, Mala said his crimes to everyone by implying gnolls can digest bones.
Iron simply follows her, because of course he is quite worried about how shifty and evasive Sands is becoming.
(This mare just keeps getting more scared by the minute. How bad is it to not just say 'Alright, Iron. I will not break your trust.' What is she hiding?)

>>119050
Nigger, here’s the timeline
1. Mala asks for immunity
2. Sands says, “can I have it too?”
3. Mala opens the garbage chute, everyone looks inside of it
4. Mala implies that he disposed of bodies
Literally no one knew why Mala was asking when he asked, or when Sand’s asked.

And now Iron threatens her out of the middle of nowhere for no reason, after explicitly telling her he has no intent to be faithful to her. When she tries to ask why the hell he just threatened her, he pretends like he never said anything. Any real human being in this situation would think, “this is the kind of guy who will blatantly flirt with the waitress in front of me, but will yell at me and break my cellphone out of irrational bouts of jealousy. Pass.” She’s not a real human being, so she won’t leave him, but she knows a red flag as surely as anyone else

>>119051
Threaten her? You and Sands are overreacting. He simply asks not to betray his trust either as a statement since, you know, he did put his trust in her and all, but because she has the fear of being a changeling to deal with, she just forfeits because she'll eventually be found out.
So much for that plot hook, I guess.
As for Mala's situation, Sands was a slave to the griffons, why would she even want immunity? Why did Khoi or Jubilosa not ask it too if they thought they were in danger? Why only Sands and Mala?
