>>130191It serves to satisfy him. He wonders if the others have gotten up yet. He was hoping he could ask Mala if he wanted to come along.
[1d2 = 2]>>130194Mala seems to be asleep, Khoi...
>>130194Silver encounters Khoi, who walks out of her room after evidently hearing him come her way
>>130193Amber rubs a fetlock against a cannon, looking downward in a bit of an embarrassed fashion.
"I wish I could, but…I don't know this schedule will work out. I'll let you know.Should I roll whether she recognizes the term Djinn or not? >>130197"Oh... Alright then" He says, attempting a smile
She can always try a knowledge roll >>130198"I don't want to keep you. Have a nice day!" as she walks backwards toward the exit.
Rolling knowledge (religion):
[1d20+4 = 19] >>130196"Oh, Khoi! Apologies for waking you."
>>130199Djinn: spiritual entities, usually malevolent, appearing in the religion and folklore of equine cultures in Zebrica, especially Saddle Arabia. His exact meaning can't be determined
He waves at her
>>130200"Hello. You did not wake me" she responds
>>130201She returns back to the area of the clothing store and inquires about where
cheap accommodation might be.
Gather information:
[1d20+2 = 16] >>130202Random Pony:
"'Bout near the cheapest apartments you're gonna find anywhere is gonna be on the east-side."
In general, the answer is that in general the lower class and cheaper accommodations are east of the city center, with options like buildings that were damaged in the war, or even things like sleeping in single rooms above taverns and shops
>>130203Amber makes it clear that she doesn't mind staying with a roommate in an apartment, and asks if this is possible on the "East-Side."
>>130204"Oh there's any sorts of arrangements you can do. Lots of ponies stay with roommates"
>>130201"Ah, good!"
He smiles at her, then rubs the back of his neck awkwardly.
"So...I heard you showed interest in, uh...mating practices, while talking with Jubilosa."
>>130206Her eyes go wide, and she takes a step back, then another, until she runs into a side of the door well of her room. What little parts of her face are not covered by fur have noticably changed a full red.
"What"
>>130205"Okay! Thank you, kind sir/madame!"Amber trots directly eastward from the closest intersection, taking care to remember any unique landmarks and sights, sounds, or smells along the way. Anything along the first two blocks of her path?
Don't be in any rush to get a post out, I'm working on some important stuff so do your worldbuilding at your leisure >>130207"Well, I heard you are not so knowledgable about sex, and you became curious about it for when you find husband."
>>130209She sits down, moving her back against the left side of the doorwell (the right from Silver's perspective). She turns her head, and raises her right hoof to cover her eyes and mouth, and both ears go down.
>>130210"Ah. I am sorry, Khoi, I was just wondering if you still had questions."
>>130211Hey, give Silver some credit. He's not gonna ask her for sex out of nowhere. >>130212She eases her left hoof down, and lays on the ground, She places her left hoof over her head as well. She's kind of an interesting creature, with scales, split hooves, antler-like horns, and a tail that is long like a griffin's, but with hair underneath like a pony.
>>130213Silver rubs the back of his neck and tilts his head at her. He's not a very interesting creature, being just a pony. Or, perhaps he is to the kirin. He's not sure how many ponies she's seen before.
"So, did you have any questions?"
He doesn't sound too worried or upset that she knows details about his more private interests.
>>130214She tries to bury her face into the wood floor, with her forelegs firmly covering her face. She is kind of soft on the neck, though
>>130215He smiles at the reaction, but understands.
"Alright, I will drop it."
>>130217She does not say anything, but has a tense smile. Or at least, her lips are pulled back, showing her equine teeth. Her tail is spread out along the floor into her room
>>130218Silver trots forward to her, offering a hoof for her to get up.
"There is not much to eat for breakfast, but there is some oats, wheat, among others. I will go grocery shopping later after I finish with my tasks for today."
>>130219"Okay" She says. After some time, she offers one hoof to him, still using a foreleg to cover her face
>>130220Silver takes it and hauls her up. He has to use a lot of his strength to keep her up until she puts the foreleg she's hiding her face with back down.
"Do you need anything while I am out? Any requests?"
>>130221She puts the foreleg down and tries to look away, with that same awkward smile on her face.
"I don't... know" Or maybe she said "no," hard to tell
>>130222He chuckles, and pats the kirin's scaly back.
"I could not hear what you said. You do not have to be so embarrassed about it, I do not mind."
>>130223Not as soft. She won't look at him, but is opening her eyes now. Silver can see the red through the spaces on her fur
>>130224He smiles brightly at her and lets out another chuckle.
"I have to admit, though, I am surprised no kirin stallion took liking to you. You are nice kirin, and very pretty."
>>130225It takes her a moment to recover, and she says nothing until they reach downstairs
“There were... only so many stallions in village. Many more in army camp but... I was not so receptive then.”
>>130226"I figured, it is normally stallions you see in war. What was wrong with them?"
Silver sits down on the couch, figuring things can wait while he talks with Khoi.
>>130227She is decidedly looking away
“I don’t... I didn’t... it was a field army hospital, near front line. Blood and dying. I was not in the mood to be courted by stallions who would be cycled out next week.”
>>130228He suddenly gets a very apologetic, awkward look on his face, like he didn't realize that possibility in his mind before he said it. Now it's his turn to cover his face with a foreleg.
"...oh..."
>>130208To her right, the buildings become larger. A large, domed building with a set of high steps going up to what must be its front entrance, with open grass around. Another large brick faced building, with big, Doric columns. The same large building she went past before, labelled as the "Eclipse Gulf Insurance Building," and a few other large buildings that must be commercial and government.
>>130230She is silent again, having evidently not fully recovered.
>>130231Silver quickly recovers.
"So...what is it you are looking for in mate?"
>>130232"A husband. Able to care for me, for my foals. Calm tempered, temperate, productive." She finally turns her head to look at him
>>130233He smiles at her.
"Sounds like he would be keeper. Are you looking for kirin, pony, or does it not matter to you?"
>>130234She tries to bury her muzzle in the side of the chair
"I....."
>>130235While he waits for her answer, he thinks a little, speaking to himself.
Hmm...*can* ponies and kirins have foals together? >>130236She does not look at him but answers,
"I imagined pony"
>>130237He stops thinking, looking over to her at her answer.
"That makes sense...I do wonder what your foals would look like, being pony-kirin pairing."
>>130238She keeps her muzzle buried there as she sits in silence
>>130239He smiles again at her.
"Want me to point any good stallions I find in your direction? You would be real keeper for many."
>>130240She turns her head again to look at him, still smiling awkwardly
>>130241"Heheh, I will take that as 'yes'. So, what do you want for breakfast?"
>>130242Then she turns her head down
"You... you choose..."
