>>129977"That's why I like the wine so much. And... Well, and you... It helps to keep my mind off things. But even the wine is a reminder..."
Now, she grips his hoof
>>129978Silver holds her claw as best as best as he can with his hoof.
"Whatever you decide to do, whatever you need, I will be there for you."
>>129979"I don't... I don't, I don't mean to be ungrateful...You and Khoi have been so nice... So supportive"
>>129980"No no, it is fine, Jubilosa. I am just sorry that we...that I, have made you feel that way. I do not want to have power over you, or to make you unhappy."
>>129981"You are nice to me... very nice... Nice in a way I am not sure any creature has ever been..."
>>129982"I have come to care about you, Jubilosa, in the time we have known each other. I want to see you happy."
>>129983"Can you tell me why?"
She turns slowly to him, looking at Silver with her big, yellow eyes
>>129984"You are kind, you are funny, smart. You have been through much in your life, have experienced so much hardship in small timespan and you still go on. You are not just good griffon but good person with kind heart. And I will not even get into how your exquisit external beauty matches what you have in your heart. You are just so..."
He looks into her eyes.
"...amazing!"
>>129985Her teary eyes gleam at Silver, as her lips slowly form up into a smile
"Thanks.... It means a lot to me."
She opens her wings
>>129985>>129986"Just... you don't think I'm a slut, do you? Not that there would be anything wrong with that, but I'm not... you're not..."
Either she doesn't know where she was going with that, she doesn't want to say it, or she doesn't know how to say it
>>129986He smiles back, gripping and shaking her claw slightly with his hoof.
"Thank you for being here with me. You matter to me Jubilosa."
>>129988She looks down at the shaking action, opening her mouth. The action seems to leave her speechless
"oh..."
>>129989His expression quickly turns into that of worry.
"Is something wrong? Did I say something?"
>>129990"Just... It's not... It's not like a business transaction, is it? Is it?"
>>129991"What...
His look turns to confusion, then to mortification.
"Oh no, no! Nothing like that, no! I did not...I am so sorry, I was just trying to make my appreciation of you known."
>>129992"It's okay... I appreciate you too"
>>129993He takes a deep breath, calming his expression down and smiling at Jubilosa once again.
"Thank you. It means lot."
He returns to looking out at the bay, while still holding her claw.
"Do you think Khoi knows about us, now?"
>>129994She gives him a sly look, tilting her head
"What do you mean by 'us'?"
>>129995He looks back.
"Well, you and I, now that we are performing some of that 'special pony friendship'."
>>129996She tilts her head back in a small action upon receiving this
"I
may have told her a few things while you were gone yesterday..."
>>129997"I suppose that would explain why she was so giggly."
He raises an eyebrow in curiosity and amusment.
"So...how much did you tell her? Go into detail at all?"
>>129018Fantasy Play starts jumping up and down on the spot. It is all very endearing and cute.
>>129998"Well, I may have given her a
few details... At first she acted like she was disgusted, then she wanted more information, had more questions, then she wanted more detail. She was curious about how it was done. I really don't think anyone had ever talked to her before about sex, or that she had ever seen any kind of illustration about how it's done."
>>129999"The tasks of a junior-most associate. Mare the cash register, place coats on the store racks
delicately, and tell mares that yes, their daughter would look lovely at the spring dance in that outfit."
>>130001D'awww!
It's a strange set of items, but not at all strange to the black cat, who wraps them in thin paper, and hands them over to Fantasy Play
"And there you have your items, little sorceress"
She smiles at her with a white, toothy smile
>>130004She lifts a claw up to wave at Silver
"Oh, beyond any doubt. A bit of a prude too. A curious prude, but they all are."
>>130003"Thank you," she says with a chirp.
She packs the things down her saddlebag.
She walks towards the door but stops. She turns around.
"Say," she says as looks away. "Is there anything I can get you?"
>>130005"Huh. I figured her culture was not very fond of extramartial relations, but I am honestly surprised she did not catch any kirin's eye. She is very nice mare, if that is applicable term for kirin females. Very pretty."
>>130006Her mouth opens up slightly to reveal a rough tongue behind the rows of white teeth
"Anything
you can get
me?"
>>130007"Splendid." She says, refraining from further speech
>>130009"So when do I start?" Amber asks.
"I just need to find a place to stay. Are there any apartments nearby?" She opens her mouth, presumably to ask more questions, but sheepishly closes it.
Don't get ahead of myself, I need to give a good impression… >>130009She nods with the force of one of those dolls with spring necks while reciveing a flick to the head.
"Yes. Is there anything I could get you for a night with you," she says but lifts up a hoof to stop any incoming comment. "I'm not talking about sexual favours. I just wanna snuggle and hug a nice and cosy catlady such as yourself. It would be like a dream come true."
Her eyes sparkle when she says the last words.
>>130008"I know, it seems strange to me. But she is younger than me, and her country has a dearth of males in her age group. That's part of why she wanted to emigrate, to look for husbands elsewhere. She had a chance when she was a nurse or something to catch a male in the army but she was too shy. That's what I could read from her, anyway."
>>130010"Oh, there are many apartments, even if there are far fewer openings than there used to be. But I'm not a real estate agent. As for you timing, after you've had basic training on our product, stocking, and the cash register."
>>130011Her eyes almost glow, big and focused on her. She bares her teeth wider in an awkward smile.
"Well, I am a business
kitty. And there are some items that are, shall we say, hard to come by. Tell me, are you an illusionist?"
>>130012"Yes, I remember her saying that was part of reason for coming here. I hope she finds someone she likes and that she learns more about sex before then. It can be embarrassing, being inexperienced with a more experienced partner."
>>130013She turns her head while looking at Silver, giving him an inquisitive smile
"Well that's an
odd thing of you to say"
>>130014He scrunches his snout and blushes.
"Well...it is not as if I started out being able to rut like I do now..."
>>130015"Is there some experience in particular you were thinking of?"
>>130016"Just when I first had 'special friendship' with my wife, Storm Warning. She had to guide us since I had no real experience with sex, while she had multiple sexual partners before we met."
>>130012Amber breathes a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad that I'll get some training. You see, I've never used a cash register before…" She looks a bit nervous in waiting for the older mare's response.
>>130018Silver gives Jubilosa a concerned look.
"Is something wrong?"
>>130019"Well it isn't too complicated to use, so long as you can count. Come this way"
>>130020"No, nothing is wrong." She turns and looks away
>>130021Amber trots after the manager. Their difference in age and dress must appeal peculiar to any onlookers.
Wonders where Fantasy went off to>>130022She walks up to the counter, which at the moment has no pony behind it
"Alright, make sure it is unlocked,
do not lose the key, make sure there is paper in the feeder. You'll find it in the till. Type in the amount of the sale here... now, you must understand that there are usually two prices, the nominal sales price, and the real one. Go with the lower number. We do that to make them think they are getting a deal. Sometimes there is a sale, but no number stated. That is where you will have to do math. Take that number, type it in here... take the money, put it in the drawer..."
She continues describing the details of the cash register operation
>>130023This seems sort of like a retcon"Did you feel hurt that she had partners before you?" She asks
>>130012"Yes, I am. A rogue one," she says with smile.
One of the three pieces of fleece fly up to the tip of Fantasy's horn. Pink energies emerges from her horn and envelopes the piece.
With a cocky grin, Fantasy brings up a her right hoof to the tip of her horn. Then in a quick smooth motions, she sweeps her hoof and draws a pink loop in the air before he hoof ends up extened to the side of her body.
Pop! Suddenly the piece of fleece and the pink arcane energies are gone and replaced by black cat with white spots standing on her extened hoof.
It likes its paw for a moment before it lays down sprawled out on the hoof.
"This is how may cat Slogo looks."
