>>131873Silver sighs sadly in response.
"I suppose that gives answer. She was with friend in college when they were ambushed and captured at night, and they were separated when they were brought here."
>>131874He pulls the thin lips behind his beak back in what must be a smile, and his eyes light up
"You are talking about the hippogriff, right? Red, dolphin necklace?"
>>131875Silver's ears perk up slightly, and he nods in affirmation.
>>131876"Heheh. She told you her name was 'Undertoe' and she was a...
college student?"
>>131877"Along those lines, yes. I suppose you have different story?"
>>131878He rocks slightly, back and forth, with as a big of a smile as his limited face muscles will allow. He looks a bit like a school child, filled with glee at the idea of being the sole member of a group privy to a secret.
"You have
no idea who she is, do you?"
His smile has a slightly maniacal bend to it
>>131879Silver seems to show only mild concern at the display of insanity in front of him.
"I suppose not, outside of what she told us. You are not going to say she is serial murdering psychopath, are you?"
>>131880Some of the feathers around his head and neck seem to stand up
"Well,
that I am less sure about. It's kind of a matter of perspective, really. But no."
>>131881Silver leans against a nearby wall, if it's available. Otherwise he just stands and looks at Maakie.
"Well, you have certainly roused my interest. Please, enlighten me."
>>131882The cement facade of the fishing gear shop is readily available to lean against. He slowly shakes his head
"You have no idea..." He looks past Silver
"She came after me. Tried to hunt me. To track us... to shut us down. But I was more clever. I fought her, and I won. She was from your government. Your old pony government, before the Colonials took over. Did you think that you were first hired guns the government sent after me? No... They've been after me for many years. They made a raid five years ago. Didn't think to search the walled off places, at least at first. But they became wise to me. They knew more than they would let the public know. More than they would let me know. They nearly got me, when they sent her. But... Well, I don't think even she knew I was there on that boat, when she tried to follow me. I learned quite a lot from my time fighting pirates. She didn't really have any lead over me. So we fought, claw to claw. And I won, because I was stronger. She came close to ending me that day. The closest any creature had come since a pirate spared me while I was an ensign. And like how that pirate spared me, I spared her, in a way."
>>131883Silver's eyes widen a bit at this information.
"That would explain things, yes. So, why is it you had her tied up in your own private room in fortress?"
>>131884"Yes. It was like a punishment at first, for the audacity of trying to hunt me. But I came to know her better. More... personally."
>>131885"Yes,
that I had assumed as much, what with us finding her in your own private quarters. But I am curious as to what lengths your relationship went to while, if you would oblige."
>>131886"Lengths? Do you not realize? I
love her. I love her in a way I have not loved any creature since grade school. I bought her the necklace, and would let her out on the streets sometimes. It hurt me so to see... to see her with you... you all."
>>131887This one actually does hit Silver right in his heart.
"Oh...that is, uh..." He searches for a word to describe it, but comes up short. "...fuck."
>>131888He winces, and resumes staring at Silver
"She had such a charm to her..." He forms a few small tears
"And she betrays me!"
>>131889"She seems to have not thought same of you..."
He looks down, ears folding on his head.
"I know we put you inside that chute, but...I am sorry."
>>131890A tear moves down and is absorbed into the feathers on his face. He has an unbelieving expression, and stares back at Silver
>>131891"I know what words I could offer are meaningless and empty to you, but they are all I can offer to you. I am sorry."
>>131892"Then I will take that." He says, almost plainly
>>131893He looks up at him.
"Would you want me to look for her, ask her about why?"
>>131894He sighs
"I don't know. I thought she loved me too."
>>131895"What is her name, if it is not Undertoe?"
>>131896"After I captured her, she told me her name was Serene Cenote. I would think later that it was a beautiful name, Serene Cenote." He looks down to the gravel between Horseman Avenue and the loading area behind the stores. "For all I know, she told her real name to you."
>>131897"It is indeed beautiful name...would you like to talk about her? What was it about her that made you fall in love?"
>>131898"I... don't know. Can you say what it is in the griffin... uh, mare you love that makes you love them? It defies words. When she placed her claw on my cheek and looked into my eyes with her own, purple gems. The smile on her face... I even... I even came to love how close she came. How I did not even know she found me, that she was on the boat hunting me. She was smart as well as beautiful. Clever."
>>131899"...you truly did love her..."
He looks down, seriously considering looking for her and getting some answers.
>>131900"Yes. Yes I did." His eyes move around, eventually to the ground
>>131901Silver looks up at him.
"Are you certain you do not want me to go look for her?"
>>131902"What are you going to do with me?" He asks
>>131903He looks in surprise of the question.
"Get you safely to this safehouse of yours, then let you go."
>>131904"And why would you do that?"
>>131905"Because I believe in second chances, and I am hoping, perhaps naively, that you will not be involved in anything like 33 Hoebuck again. Stick with smuggling goods, it is far more respectable profession than trafficking."
>>131906"So you say. I will trust you for now..."
Mala walks back, carrying a long, black cloak
"I think this will do" he says
>>131907Silver looks over to Mala, and smiles.
"Ah, good! Give it to Maakie, he is one who will be needing it."
>>131908Mala goes towards Maakie, but stops a little distance away. He extends out the coat hanging over his extended left foreleg, and Maakie grabs it as if snatching it with his own right claw, while Maakie stares at Mala. Maakie places the coat over himself as Mala walks backwards away from him.
Maakie:
"Shall we go now?"
>>131909Silver nods to Maakie, and attempts to hail a taxi.
>>131910This is easy enough, as a taxi stops to pick them up. The driver says nothing about Maakie, covered in his long, black coat. Mala sits away from a Maakie, and is the one to tell the the driver the destination. It’s a location on the far side of the city
>>131911Silver sits in silece for the ride there, unless one of the passengers was to say something.
>>131912Mala does not. Nor does Maakie. Mala does, however, look over to Silver, never actually saying anything. It’s a surprisingly long trip, cutting through downtown, then through town houses on the southwest side, then denser and denser tree formations, then alongside a grand river, until the site is finally reached. The fare is 12 bits, which is the highest Silver has yet had
>>131913He pays the fare, and asks the driver if he can wait for a minute or two since they'll need a ride elsewhere.
>>131914He obliges
Silver finds himself next to a lot with a grassy ditch, a dirt road and a culvert, and a wooden fence that goes up perhaps four feet or so feet in height and does not let you view through the other side. There is a gate with a visible lock, and over the fence the metal roof of a small house, as well as several bare-limb deciduous trees are visible. Mala steps out next to Silver
>>131915Silver looks out at the property.
"I must say, this is very well out of way."
>>131867Where did we last leave off? I think I had figured out that the monster threat was minimal to occur in the forest.
>>131924"I could offer guns, food, barricades and walls, of which I'm sure we can get, but those alone won't be enough. What I offer is friendship."
>>131925“Friendship..”
He pulls his lips back, showing sharp, white canines, and raises his head up slightly, then away down to his right, and around in a clockwise circle until his head finally comes back to Spark
“How?!”
>>131926"By meeting with the ponies to the east of course."
>>131867Amber heads north along this roadway to the mansion.
