"I do not mean legal repercussions."
He motions to the altars with a hoof.
"Was it worth all this? I know what happened in this room. I saw what happened, and I know from your knife that you participated."

She does not answer Silver, or indeed, say anything at all.

Silver lets out a solemn sigh, focused still on the dagger.
"I have killed more than my fair share across my life, and at times it can weigh heavily on me. I always wonder if I have done so for right reasons. Or if there is ever even right reason to take life. I know I am not good pony. All I hope is that I use what I am good at to stop even worse ponies."
He looks back at the female griffon.
"What about you? Does what happened at this altar weigh on you?"

She looks up at the dagger, and the altar behind it. She blinks, and then looks down and away from Silver and the dagger. She is again silent.

He looks sadly at the griffon, and lets out a sigh.
"I apologize for beating you while you are down by pointing out what happened here. I know it weighs heavily on you. I just...what happened here is cut above everything else I have seen in all my years. I know it is easy to remove yourself from blame of what actions you are performing, when you are just one among dozens all doing same thing, but this is not something that can so easily be shrugged off or should be shrugged off."

She takes a moment, but then looks back upwards towards Silver with an accusing face
"We never killed thirty creatures in one night. Never. Not even close."
She maintains the expression for a moment, but after looking into Silver's eyes for a second or so longer, she breaks off, closing her eyes and pressing her head down into the ground, and returning to silence.

Invited or not, Pear, who has been in fairly close physical proximity for most of this, now moves to lay down in a manner similar to Silver, slightly further away and perpendicular to Silver. Sundown does not have her legs under her (like Pear and presumably Silver), but rather her legs are spread out as she lays down.
"Yes. He is a comrade and partner in the Society. He is Askfält Ihåligt. Originally from Vedina. He has been in the Society a little longer than I, and in Equestria a little longer than I."

He looks over the two griffons, contemplating things.
"If I was Imperial Inquisitor, or common Black Hoof operative, I suppose I would turn you in to be sent back to Griffonia, to face justice. And there would be those who would say it was necessary..."
He slowly shakes his head.
"I do not think it is though. I do not believe you are evil, and I doubt you would have joined Maarists in first place had you not been in such dire straits."

At the beginning of the statement, she moves to place both claws under herself as she looks up at Silver.
She ultimately doesn't make a response, although she breathes in, and then out in a ragged fashion.

"Here we go!"
Silver pulls out a big stack of paper Bits. 500 Bits worth. He holds it out in his magic to Sundown.
"It is not much, but it is something. Take it."

She opens the end part of her beak in something like a wince
"If we will be left alone after that, and if nothing is told to the police."
Pear answers at least the last part
"This is for purely academic purposes."

She nods, and then smiles, evidently actually excited. She says to Sundown, "My name is Pear Faucet, Associate Professor of Hippology at Stableside University.... I could... ask a few questions..."
Eventually the two go off to one of the rooms between the stairwell and the chapel, likely the same room where Keskoo was found

This takes perhaps more time than Silver intended, as she is in the room with Sundown for an extended period of time. The silence - and occasional lack of it - could perhaps feel unsettling.

Silver can hear talking, almost whispered, inside the room. It stops the instant Silver knocks, and there is silence for a number of seconds. After a delayed reponse, perhaps long enough to make Silver repeat his statement, the door opens to Pear, who lets Sundown come out.
"I think I will need to calm him down after this."
She walks out into the room, towards Askfält

Pear doesn't say anything, seeming kind of irritated.
But Sundown goes over to Askfalt, who, after being prodded, looks around and jumps up. Or rather, he tries to. His wings spread out, but his forelegs are tied together, so he falls back down onto his side.

Waabishki breathes in and out heavily, and seems to make the beginning of a growl at Spark. Makade, who has been inching slightly closer over the course of the conversation, places a paw on Waabishki, who flinches at first and turns to Makade, but is more startled than angry.
Makade:
"He is right. You know we at the village can do no more, and I don't think there is much to be gained with the Nation up north. I have seen the pony's medicine, as has your father and Miskobag. It doesn't always work, but it can surprise you. If there is hope for Miskobag, it is probably in the City."

He screams out something in some foreign language, though the meaning of his words requires little imagination. He again rises and falls, and Sundown places a claw on him, and then whispers in his ear (or ear hole, given the anatomy of griffins). He starts to calm down.

Pear is smaller than either of the two griffins, and though both Silver and Pear took steps to disarm the griffins, there is an element of risk in going into a closed door room with them. This does not deter Pear.
Silver doesn't hear anything out of the ordinary, or see anything exceptional, hopefully corresponding to an absence of threats. Hopefully. The dominant question is: how long is Silver willing to wait?

Whatever worst case scenario Pear was fearing, it does not happen while Silver is there. Perhaps in the meantime Silver becomes intimately familiar with the faded panels of the alicorn sisters on the ceiling, or with the patterns of star constellations and planets on the floor that correspond to no constellations or planets in the night sky that Silver can remember. In any case, after what is not less than half an hour - and very possibly much longer than that - the creatures come out, wordlessly, one by one.

Silver and Pear follow Sundown and Askfalt, staying some paces back. Both of them look back, but there isn't anything they can do or even complain about, as both pairs are presumably going to the same location. It's down the stairs to the second floor, then down to the basement, and back through the tunnel, where it goes into the second tunnel, and then into the church basement, and back into the church. The two griffins look back when both enter the church basement, but make no contact as they go back up.
Of course this means that they remain within at least earshot for this whole period of time, lasting several minutes.

This answer seems to please her. A smile slowly comes to cover her face, fully enveloping it as she tilts her head down, but looks back up towards Silver. There's a definitely mischievous, or even malign quality to it. "She has told me why she is here. Why don't you tell me why you are here?"

She waves back, and after a moment, Askfalt does as well. Pear waves to them, and gives a light smile. They start to leave the church, though they linger to see if Silver and Pear are leaving as well.

She twitches her still tied up tail, and the book she carries almost sticks out of her pack.
"They were willing to open up after a while, after I convinced them I had no interest in the police or any persecution. You saw they weren't entirely sure with you. Neither of them was a priest and so didn't have intimate knowledge of how the rituals worked or of the precise details about many parts of the theology, but I got something out of them. I think they may have held back out of diffidence, but that is to be expected. I don't think I would have done any better with a more obviously captive pair of subjects like at the jail. I think the money you gave them really loosened them up." She says

That last part is inflected almost like a question

"I figured. Being an Associate Professor is better pay than most jobs, but less than you'd think, especially for eight years of school."
She looks away, then down, the up, then opens her mouth, then looks back approximately in the direction of Silver but not directly at him

"Thank you so much"
She hops back over, and towards floof pone, jumping up, and hugging him. She moves over his shoulders, wrapping a leg around him. She is rather small, has a short coat, a long mane that is kept in a tie, and is generally dainty. It takes her a moment to reply, as she positions herself over him.
"Well, for the education level."

Silver slows down to be able to enjoy the hug and this bit of pony interaction. He brings his opposite foreleg around to pat the petite unicorn who is so opposite to him in body size.
"Huh. I always figured college was how one got to have really high paying career. Either that or learning trade."

She closes her eyes at the large foreleg coming down on her. She isn't that much smaller in terms of dimensions, but her build is much less massive, and it is easy to see.
"I didn't go to make money. Unlike my father. People who take this path do so for love of knowledge... or the shorter working hours and air conditioning."

She smiles and moves next to him, leaning her body against his, as the two (presumably) await a taxi to hail. It seems to be at least 11PM by now. She looks down into her pack at the book she retrieved.

Partly inside the layer of fluffy coat covering the Severyanan, Pear can feel the body heat trapped inside by his fur wash over her, providing a contrast to the chilly winter air. Silver leans slightly back against her in turn, though doing so lightly as to not overpower her. He looks down at the book in her possession.
"Did you learn anything from them that would go towards decoding that book?"

Pear turns her head to look back at Silver as he presses back. Presumably, one of the two hails a taxi. Horseman Avenue still has decent traffic at this time of night, and Pear would be afraid to stray far from Silver in such a neighborhood at this time of night. Both of her ears stand up.
"Maybe. Hopefully I will find out" she answers

She gets in, and sits next to him, carefully setting her pack down to her other side.

"Hey. I didn't get to say this earlier but... that was really impressive what you did back in there. Not only did you take not one, but two griffins who were charging at you and knock them out, but you used empathy to talk one of them down. It's... something very special."

The restaurant takes up the left/southern half of a commercial office building on the rather large Chincoteague Avenue, a few blocks to the west of High Sewn's store. The office building, with brick and stone façade, is about five stories tall, and Amber hasn't figured out exactly what it's supposed to host, but it seems to have something to do with telecommunications. The restaurant is the only shop in it, facing the North/South running Chincoteague, but also bordering the northern side of fifteenth street. The door entering from the side walk from Chincoteague is brass lined, and opens to the stand where Amber must stand to greet guests. Behind her, is the front dining area, which hosts most larger tables, bathrooms on the right (but Amber's left) on the north side of the restaurant, the entrance to the kitchen (which occupies much of the north part of the establishment), and some combination booth/tables. The restaurant is basically cut in half by a U-shaped bar that sticks out from the wall and faces towards the south side, of course tended by Salt-Mixer. On the far side, the west side, is a slighter smaller section with a line of booths on two walls, and high tables that seat 2. On fifteenth street, there is a long and somewhat thin patio area enclosed with wrought iron fencing with several tables with an extendable awning. High Sewn explains that this area is not open tonight as it is a week night, but is often open during the days or on busier nights.
Most of the interior walls are are red brick, with the bar being composed of hardwood, and with stainless steel light fixtures. A photograph on the far side shows a city with a river and brick-walled factories, while another few show airships of multiple models, and notably one wall in the front side is basically covered in what is essentially a blue print or model of an early hot air balloon. The restaurant allegedly specializes in the cuisine of the Husaks, which seems to consist of goulash, a certain kind of sourdough sandwich, and... well, Amber hasn't memorized the menu yet. The Restaurant does not seem to cater to the same clientele as the clothing store - or rather, it caters to the same clientele, but the clothing store pretends to be higher class than it really is. Prices are slightly higher than what Amber thinks she saw in Eastside, but the mark up isn't that high.
There are three servers here tonight, one having all of the booths and most of the high tables in the back, one having the combinations booths and some of the large tables, and one having all of the remaining tables in the front and a small exclave of tables in the rear section - that marine colored stallion lodging a protest against this strangely gerrymandered arrangement of serving responsibilities. Theoretically, the owner is the manager, but because of some kind of development that Salt Mixer didn't fully explain, the owner is less active in the operation of the restaurant, and Salt Mixer is the de facto manager. She expects to become the full time manager soon.

Amber knows she is not expected to tarry in her introduction but her eyes revel in this new environment. The industrial style is entirely new to her as are the subjects of the black and white photos. It seems that this restaurant, if it successfully rides the waves of time, may be one of those that builds a rich and storied history. Perhaps this is presumption, however.
Amber struggles to remember who the Husaks were, as any of the medley of history books she read would have touched on them only briefly. Knowledge (history): [1d20+6 = 15]
Whatever the price point of the food here, it is well beyond her present ability to pay, and she hopes that her stomach will not growl at an inopportune time. I hope the ponies here are nice, I really wish they pay me tonight for the work I do, or even just give me some scraps of food. It smells so good…, she wonders to herself.
Despite the hunger pangs Amber is eager to stand at the entrance, framed by the shiny brass portal. Though she's clearly not the object being framed it's still something of an honor to be surrounded by an almost-gold border.

Exactly where this restaurant will end up upon the passage of time is anyone's guess. Time is a tenacious thing, with a nasty tendency of persisting long after you think it's come to a good stopping point.
Amber can remember that the Husaks where a nation of the greater Earth Pony Tribe from much further north, who, some time after the settling of Equestria, migrated further south to the areas around Sire's Hollow upon a dispute with their fellows, with a great wave later moving further east towards what is today Baltimare, an area already settled by the Amstels and the inhabitants of the Hayseed, and by indigenous ponies like the Chincoteague before that. While they were neither the first nor the last wave of migrants to the city, they are very possibly a plurality, and are by reputation if not necessarily fact responsible for Baltimare's Earth Pony majority... at least among the pony population.
To the right of the entrance, staring back at Amber, is a very old photograph of a stallion with no mane over the top of his head, but plenty of black facial hair and side burns, and a coat that was likely some shade of green (hard to tell in black and white). This pony, according the picture frame, was Beloved Black. Next to the photo is a painting of the same Beloved Black in front of an airship that is ready to take flight for the first time, one with a rigged keel and a basket.
Salt Mixer has agreed to a payment by the night, and in cash (as this is the way most customers pay anyways). Leftover food is often taken home by a group of diamond dogs one of the servers is friends with, but it's okay if Amber takes some.
