She smiles again. It's a smile that's pulled a bit upwards, as if she is on the verge of tears
"You were... pretty impressive, yes. One of those Equestrian ponies I had heard of. I just had never seen one"

Silver lets out a friendly little laugh.
"I meant that you proved it to yourself, but I am very glad I could show you what we could be. If Sicameon is filled with griffons like you, it must be very nice place, indeed."

"Oh" She pulls her head away looking over to the right and down, smiles in a manner like a wince, and looks away
"Yeah"
And after a moment
"It is nice. Carefree Griffins who tend to their own parishes, and rolling hills and mountains, with green pastures and fields of tomatoes"
She then looks

That was supposed to mean embarrassment
Also, that was supposed to say that she looks back to Silver before she talks about Sicameon
"No, you didn't" looking away

Looking down
"I have to wonder if getting to Aquellia is even possible, especially after how my last attempt turned out"
She looks back up to Silver, with a smile starting to form
"I suppose I could get to know you, yes. You seem nice enough, and I can't say I know very many creatures in this town"

She has become somewhat acclimated to Silver's hugs and touching, not flinching or resisting
"Alright. She a good gri-creature"

"Yes. I had very limited experience in medicine, when I was conscripted by the King's forces to be a part of the triage for the fighting outside Cửa Sông..." She's silent for a moment, and then a moment more, as if frozen in place
"But no, I am no medic. Still though, that Knight did good in sewing him up"

The unicorn looks over at the kirin.

"I was thinking of Cửa Sông..." she answers in a hollow tone, looking past Silver to the far end of the Sanctuary. Then she snaps back, and looks to him
"But these two will make it, I think. And so will you"

"Wow"
She hovers her split hoof over the fur, though of course she does not touch it
"You fight as a career?" She looks right at him with almost the curiosity of a child. "Are you a Youxia?"

Her description seems to make Silver infatuated with the idea.
"Wow..."
He sighs to himself, looking forward.
"I wish I was. It is part of reason why I choose to go out and adventure in first place, but after trouble finding enough money to live on when I was young, it took more form of mercenary work, and it became more about money than doing good...I think, however, I would like to follow that ideal from now on, while this old pony still has strength inside him. Being Youxia sounds nice."

She continues looking up at him, blinking and tilting her head
"Mercenary work? Huh. That was not common in Ngua. Still, my grandfather was in the King's Army during the war of independence. My great uncle too. He died in it. But to fight for good itself... That is better than for a king or for money. Or out of necessity..."

With his own blue magic glow, he holds out a stack of 500 Bits in notes for her.

Alright, after analyzing the map and determining where the specific mining site that the trouble (deaths and mutations) occurred, Brie is going to GO TO FUCKING SLEEP (he's at 4 hp btw).
>>125755
Not a terrible choice
Brie is escorted to a building that used to be an inn, a two story wodden frame building with overhang and grape purple carpet. Th rooms don't have radios, but you can't always expect the best possible comfort. Other rooms in the end likewise have Changeling drones, one of whom has a pony mare, half of whom are not wearing uniforms, and a largely overlapping half are buzzed though not yet drunk. Macrurus sends out frantically for a telegram - only to be none to pleased by the response and in a state of anxiety. Brie's dogs follow him into the streets, where a singular colt goes up to try to pet him, before being barked off. Another comes into the hotel, awkwardly creating a physical obstacle to movement in the hallways, resulting in a drone having a tight squeeze
What is the preferred wake up time? (I mean, night or morning? The current time is still early, before sundown)

>Inn
I would have been content to sleep in the fancy cart, but if they're buying, I'll do it.
With the short sword under the pillow.
However long will be a full enough rest to restore most/all his HP. I need to kill something.

Brie wakes up in the bed (assuming he sleeps in beds), having neither been stabbed nor bleeding out in his sleep, nor with lucid dreams of murder (only the non-lucid kind).
The only light from our side comes from a single street lamp

Her expression turns to surprise as she is hugged. A bit floofy on the chest, scaly on the back, and strangely dense feel overall. She places her muzzle over his shoulder, and her forelegs around his back, hugging him in return

squeaky
There is an “uck” sound as air is squeezed out of her. After a moment, she says “I have never been hugged by a pony before”

He continues hugging for a few seconds more, before loosening his grip and looking back to the door.
"It has been while since Blue left...I wonder if she made it okay."

Silver nods.
"Plenty of things. Just as example, I know my way around forges. I apprenticed under my father as colt, and he was weaponsmith. I also know how to cook. I think I am rather good at it, too."

From behind, a sound of loud hoof steps up the stairwell, then the clatter of hooves in the antechamber
A grey unicorn mare shoots out in blue uniform, oval cap, and caring a revolver, aiming it at the creatures in the sanctuary
"Batlimare PD! Put your hooves, horns, claws and paws where I can see them!
Immediately behind her comes a Pegasus stallion with a carbine that he grasps with one hoof and keeps to his shoulder with a strap
"Aye! This is Customs! Now don't move"

Silver lets out a sigh of relief, and looks over to the police.
"Thank Celestia, you finally arrived. Ones you are looking for are over there."
He motions to the collection of cultists they captured.

"We were contracted by Baltimare government to put end to trafficking operation here. Turns out there was also Maarist cult here, as well. You are looking at aftermath of battle.

A familiar griffin - Blue Skies - appears behind the two, as well as more than one new pony. The mare rushes towards the standing ponies - the party as well as the cultists, while the stallion looks around in horror at the burnt pews, the bodies, and the two sliced open creatures on the altar
When Dark Star mentions he is with the 'party,' the mare responds with a near disgust
"Is this Blackhooves"
The Stallion has an "I told you sow" inflection in his voice
"I told'ya it was one of ours"
The mare responds to Silver
"Baltimare government? Police?" she then shakes her head
"Yes. We have medics"
She turns back to one of her officers
"Get a medic! Now!"

Silver slowly stands up, letting out a grunt as he does so. Despite the fact that he can barely feel his injuries, he's still got some old bones.

Mare:
"Firearms discharged in city limits is a matter for the police... and so is murder"
Then she looks back to the cultists and the party
"Everyone, put your weapons down"
There are those wavy daggers littering the floor, thrown away long before the police got there
A white uniformed pony, then a second one, runs in
"Who needs medical help?
Khoi points to the two sacrifices, and a cultist says "they need medical help too!" pointing to some cultists injured in the battle

"Johann Lictshild of the Griffonian Imperial Inquisition. I believe some of those concerned here are Imperial citizens
