Up in the North, the ponies have successfully found who, or rather, what was damaging the mine. But their quest is not over, as they go to look for the source of the trouble. In Baltimare, Iron, Silver, and Dark Star enjoy the fruits of defeating the cultists, while Midnight herds the remaining rescues.

Iron's pout only increases in intensity at the response. "...I want to know for sure," he mumbles, almost digging his snout inside the bed. "No illusions nor lies, but an honest heart-to-heart with one."

"Everything," he declares, muffled by the sheets "If a changeling's body is actually cold from lack of love, what sort of values they follow, how the ponies became deathly afraid of them, what sort of hobbies they do."
The natives pulls his head up, somewhat excited. "Do you not know how many things we do not know about them?"

Iron's limbs slowly retract in order to properly lay down on the bed. "So you understand how amazing it would be to actually meet one without the fear of it kidnapping either one of us for whatever they would want to do on a living pony, right?" he continues, almost bouncing lightly on the bed.

Iron stops, somewhat stunned at the indifference Sands is currently expressing. "We are talking about the discovery of a mysterious, evasive species," he proclaims, giddy still "is that not exciting to know?" he pauses, looking at Sands curiously. "...or do you already know?"

Iron shakes his head. "Simply sharing interests," he responds smoothly, deciding to embrace Sands once more lovingly. "You are my love, after all. I should not hide anything from you."

Iron doesn't have any intentions to oust her for anything, if his nuzzling and caressing weren't clear enough. He seems genuine when speaking about his reasons to meet a changeling.

Iron creaks open an eye to look up to Sands. "It is something that has been bugging me for a while, from how nopony really knows what is a changeling," he responds, tiredness creeping back in "only an embellished, demonized version of it. I am pretty sure I told you this not too long ago."

Iron chuckles, getting his mouth off her beck to lightly kiss the tip of her snout playfully. "You underestimate my capabilities, love," he answers shortly after. "True stallions always need to be ready to please their mare at any time, you know?"

Going into the living room area Silver can see that it occupied the entire half of the the first floor past the entry foyer and stairs. There is indeed a pool table located in part underneath the stairs, which is open. There is something like a wicker and white cushioned love seat on the far wall, and a couch against the right wall, with a hardwood table between them. On the right wall, to the left of the couch and to the right are narrow shelves decorated to look as if they were made of driftwood, the one between the couch and loveseat is shorter and adjacent to a small table with a lamp, and both are capped in model ships, the one between the couch and the loveseat in the corner looking like a yacht, and the one between the couch and the pool table looking like a naval wooden sailing vessel. On the shelves are wooden constructs that resemble totems, like a zebra’s head, and whether these are the artifacts of small seafaring civilizations or knockoffs of the same is hard to tell..
The left wall does not go all the way to the ocean facing wall on the far side, but rather stops with an exit from a room and a small bar. Between the bar and the far side is a dining area with a table and four chairs. On the side of the left wall closest to the street and adjacent to entry foyer is is a closed wooden door. Past this is an open arch with view of a countertop beyond into the room inside. Between the arch and the end of the wall, the left wall is packed with a taxidermied leopard, which looks rather large for the small stretch of wall, and besides it a wooden stand with a phonograph on it

Keskoo at first remains cautiously behind, then goes halfway up the stairs, but comes back down when Silver and the other creatures do not go that way. Coming into the living room area, she stops besides the leopard, staring at it, inspecting it, and touching it with her hoof.
Khoi trots in calmly, looking around in all directions, looking through the archway, then coming forward with Silver. She makes a face of disgust at the pool table, looks with particular curiosity at the Leopard, and then comes forward to inspect the phonograph, touching its features with her hoof.

Silver almost gets on the couch to try it out...but realizes quickly that with everything he's gone through from last night, he needs a bath. He trots back to go up the stairs, looking at his current companions.
"I will be back soon, I am going to look for bathroom and wash up. Go ahead and have look around if you want."

Jubilosa looks back up to Silver
"Alright Silver, I'll check out things down here"
She stands up, and goes over to the dining area. He can hear her say "Neat, there's a bar!" when he is out of range.
Keskoo remains by the leopard, though she now takes interest in the phonograph as well.
Khoi answers "Very well," and then trots over around the leopard and through the arch into the other room.
Going upstairs, Silver can see that the hallway forms a sort of "T" shape. A corner of the second floor on the right and towards the street is open air, with the stairway going to the far right wall. A hallway hangs between the wall and the open air, going between the right wall and a left wall that mirrors the left wall on the first floor above it, with a dark wooden railing. Though the steps are wooden, the floor of the second floor is covered in a light blue carpet. The hallway that runs along the left wall over hangs into the foryer, with a door on that side, a small set of shelves at the end on the street side, and then forms a hall going between two rooms that ends in a door, and does not extend as far as the left wall on the first floor. There is a door at the end, a door on the wall that faces the street, a door closer to the street on the left wall, one in the center of the left hallway, and one at the very end of the hall on the left.

The first door enters into a large bathroom with separate bath and shower (only porcelain sinks though)
The one on the left enters into an empty room with windows on the left facing the street, on the far side facing the property East, and two doors to the right, one sliding and the one closet to the hall a normal wooden door.
The door in the center opens to what looks like a bathroom, with a door on the left, another on the right, and past the entryway a combination bathtub and shower on the left, a small wall on the left that hides what is presumably a toilet, sinks on the right, and the farside has a window to the adjacent property.
The door on the right opens inwards into a bedroom, which has a queen bed, a seat, a door that goes into the same bathroom, windows on the far side and right, and then a door that opens onto what is visible as a wooden balcony, as well as a dresser and a nightstand.
The door at the end of of the hallway opens into a room with a king sized bed along the right wall as well as a night stand, a radio and a dresser along the left, and on the side that is closest to the street, a taxidermied medium sized brownish canine-looking creature with stripes on the lower back, and generally like nothing Silver has ever seen before, and a globe. There is a door that goes into what is presumably the first bathroom Silver saw, and a door and windows to the wooden balcony that faces the ocean.
Most rooms open up into high ceilings, with the ceiling having exposed though sparsely spaced wooden rafters from which lights and ceiling fans hang. In a few areas, there are no rafters, but rather the ceiling is open air, with skylights above letting in still more natural light

Paradoxically, this bathroom, despite clearly being the master bath, is not even as fancy as the one on top of Hoebuck. The sinks are porcelain and the bathtub doesn’t even have subjects. Nevertheless, there is some attempt to make the tiles in the shower look like stone through choice of color, and it’s roomy enough. There is only one shampoo (no conditioner) and a bottle of oil, along with a sponge, luffa and soap

Silver wonders to himself as he readies the bath how much it would cost to improve the niceness of the master bathroom. It certainly isn't something to skimp out on, in his mind.
"Oh well, thoughts for another day."
He lets out a sigh of relief when he gets into the warm bath water. It's very relaxing after the hell he went through last night.

The water comes, though not wholly without issue, taking a moment to come to full pressure, and then almost a full minute for it to become warm. But there is, ultimately, enough warm water for the bathtub
Silver has bandages on, covering his wounds, and these still give some pain, including in contact with the water.
Dried blood washes off of him. His own blood, the blood of griffins, zebras, of Oreo, and of the gnoll. The dried remnants of blood in centuries old undead, and the blood of Jubilosa. He washes off saltwater, dirt, smoke particulates, fuel oil, and the dust of a long undisturbed cavern. Finally, he washes off the the remnants of his lovemaking.

Silver can definitely say he's far cleaner now than he was earlier. Even with the pain of his wounds, he feels far better. He gets out, drains the bathtub water, and dries off with a towel.
Feeling clean and now back to his normal floofy self, he heads back downstairs to join the others.

There are only four towels, but surely enough. Silver gets out, fluffier than before
Downstairs, the creatures seem to have separated. Jubilosa has placed a bottle of wine she found on the table in the living room, as she is laying on her back passed out, with her rogue hanging out of her open beak and her right foreleg on her chest.
Sounds come from the kitchen, the door to outside is partly open, and Keskoo is nowhere to be seen

Silver goes over and sees Khoi placing pots and pans, as well as some food items on the counters. The kitchen looks fairly nice, with an electric stove and wide sinks. There isn’t much food at all, mostly fish and what looks like squid, and even that is low in quantity. A take out bag has been tossed in the trash, with the trash can being placed out in the open as well. There are not many pots or pans, but a few

If Mint Marine were here, he could probably identify not only the fish but where it lives. Loputu could offer more useful information, such as whether it was caught in the bay or purchased. But this is Khoi, and she just knows she doesn’t want to eat it, setting it to the side with mild disgust. She points with a hoof past the bar and to the balcony

There is a double door between the dining area and the living area that opens onto a wooden deck, which has a wooden railing. A table and a couple seats, and extends a little further than the second floor balcony. A wooden staircase descends from the deck down to the ground. There is grass an sand on the ground, and as a whole, this property must not be more than 3 or so feet above the high tide mark. By the water is a string of rocks, and a little sand beyond that, as well as a small dock that extends into the water. There is a small white rowboat tied to the dock, bobbing on the waves. And next to the dock, on the rocks above the sand where the edges of the waves meet the land, is Keskoo. She sits there, staring out into harbor bay

“But I am not from Skynavia. I am from Cubria!” she protests, exhaling through her nose and turning her head. But then she inhales, and answers Silver’s question
“It can be, yes. The growing season is short and not all crops will grow so far north. Some, only further south. The soil is hard and thin. The winters are unforgiving. But we made a living.”

She looks out into the bay again. There are several moving objects. Looks like green water freighters and a couple fishing vessels. A naval ship - or more likely, a patrol ship owned by customs - hangs around near the mouth of the bay

"Sewing and embroidery, mostly. My grandmother taught me how to make the gákti our ponies would wear. Take dyed thread and mix together blues and yellows. Or even sew metal to leather in the more traditional garb. I can do more, I am sure"

Silver strokes his muzzle in thought, before Keskoo can practically see a lightbulb go off over his head.
"I...think I have idea. There is neighborhood in city with more ponies of your culture. I would have to look at prices, but...perhaps I could help you open sewing and textiles shop there?"

"You have couple of things factories do not. You know how to make fabrics in your culture's traditional style, which factories cannot replicate, and you can get to know your customers on personal basis. I will do whatever I can to help you get started, even if I have to pay out of my own pockets."

"Yes, I remember him, He said he was from Bluffhead. That was like a wholly different tribe back before the Griffin Socialists came. Not that I have much memory of that time. He was nice."

"I got this property deed from Maakie's safe. He was griffon behind how you and many others got tricked. I was hoping it would have space enough for some of those we rescued to stay, at least for time being."

"Sometime, free country has...problems. Anyways...there are three rooms suitable for bedrooms, but I need to buy furniture for one of them. Would you want to stay here, or should we find other place for you?"

Damn it. I guess I should. I used to make floor plans all the time in Home Architect

He heads back inside, Keskoo presumably following. Before he actually leaves, he checks in with Khoi.
