"I would not mind studying under you..."
He lowers his eyelids slight, puts on a mischevous smile, and speaks the next word in a low, heavy voice.
"...professor."

She gives a half smile, and generally seems to sit there (still upright), as if not sure what will come next

He holds the look for a couple seconds before it's replaced by one of confusion, then one of general acceptance.
"Not interested, I suppose?"

"Well..."
He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly.
"...you have been really nice and interesting pony to talk to, and you said nopony who could share your values had any interest in you, so...I was testing waters bit, seeing if you had any interest in...that."

"Well...you know..."
He smiles sheepishly at her, and finishes his thought in a small voice.
"...mating?"
Alrighty. Goodnight!

Her eyes become very wide, and all of a sudden, she pulls back her lips in an embarrased smile, starts to blush, and waves her forelegs in front of her. This knocks her off balance from her upright position, falling a little to the left, and then throwing herself to the right so she does not fall off the bed. She falls down onto her side, her forelegs and muzzle partly hanging off the edge, her right hindleg still folded underneath her, but her left hindleg stretched out and almost reaching Silver. Her tail, which was curled up to her left before, gets caught on the pillows and headboard behind her, and thus does not cover her hindquarters. Although she falls onto her side, she quickly moves her forelegs under her, so she moves her head upright and back towards Silver. She is definitely blushing.
"Do you - Do you - Do you mean 'dating'?"

He chuckles at the frankly adorable display.
"I am not sure our respective situations would allow for dating each other, unfortunately. But no, I meant 'mating', as in, uh..."
He puts on a more sensual voice.
"...'fucking', to use primal term."

A surprisingly dainty lemon yellow earth pony with a strawberry red mane and tail, both of which are long but tied up with bands.
Also, that should read that her tail was formerly curled onto her right side, so that now her tail is caught partly underneath her. She was sitting upright on her hindquarters on the right side of the bed, but then fell onto her side over to the left (her right).

At this point, Pear gives up trying to right herself, and falls over onto her right side, her face expressionless and somewhat facing Silver. She blinks twice, and has no words to say.

He rubs the back of his neck and offers an awkward chuckle.
"Heheh...I apologize. Subtlety has never been my strong suit."
He looks down at his large size and hefty build. Even under his fluffy coat it's clear he has a sizable amount of muscle mass.

Silver's mass finds no parallel in Pear, who, despite being of the Earth Pony race, lacks that race's typical virtues. She looks rather slim, small, and weak. Now, she places her forelegs underneath her again, and forces herself upright. She also pulls her hindquarters inwards, so that now she is sitting upright again, but leaning against the headboard in the center of the bed. She uses her hooves to remove the bands from her mane, and then her tail, showing both to be rather long and thick, covering her head in red hair. She places all four legs in front of her as she leans back against the wall, and looks over at Silver.
"I didn't... realize you were here for that..."

"Not originally, no. I came here because I thought it would be interesting to get to know you better, but I will admit that you have piqued my interest. If you do not wish to do, well, that...please, just say so, and we will forget I ever brought it up."

"You...." She looks down, "What did you say your profession was again? Aside from arguing with High Chair over who gets an antique sword?"

"What makes an 'adventurer' to you?"
She's not making complete eye contact, and is now trying to organize her mane, brushing it as best she can with her hooves, since she has let her mane down. Before, it was tied up in a way that would keep it out of her face easily.

"Number of things, I suppose. I travel from place to place, taking jobs from ponies that vary from delivering letters to stopping ne'er-do-wells. When I do not have job, I sometimes wander and explore. I used to be retired from that life before War came and I went to help Equestria."

"Does it give you greater freedom? Maybe 'freedom' isn't quite what I mean. Power?"
She is still playing with her mane and looking down and to the right.

"Power, no. Freedom is bit closer, but it is not quite what it gives me. It is more being able to see new places, experience new things, and talk to new ponies. I feel as though I have grown to understand much more about this small slice of world than if I had stayed in one place for my entire life. It is also good feeling to help others in their time of need, using what few skills come naturally to me."

"I don't mean that, I mean... You strong-armed High Chair and Grant into giving you a very valuable ancient sword that they claimed as theirs. Then you see a mare you want to... you don't use any kind of euphemisms or bother with dating, you just ask 'do you want to mate' with a mare that I don't think you think is 'easy.' Well, I hope not, but I mean - I mean you seem to expect to get what you want without having to deal with formalities or any kind of politesse or social ritual. Like there is little separating your will from from what you want. Like a gangster. I don't mean to compare you to a criminal, but I don't know who else live like there are no laws to restrain them, except criminals and despots...."

Silver slowly nods, realizing the pretty ridiculous position he's put himself in.
"Ah. When you put it like that, I can see how bad that is. I did not mean any offense, Pear. Forget I ever asked."

"I don't mean it's bad, I mean - people sympathize with gangsters in films. You know? That kind of 'I can do what I want' attitude has an appeal, I just mean..." Now, she looks at Silver with an awkward expression
"Uh, nevermind. I... don't mean that."

The now thoroughly confused unicorn tilts his head just a little more than he did earlier.
"Then...what do you mean? What do you think of what I told High Chair at quarry?"

"Well, uh... You strong-armed the sword out of High Chair's possession like a gangster, I'm not sure how else to put it. Not that I thought High Chair was noble or sincere in his intentions, but..."
She does not complete her sentence

Silver nods.
"That, I do not regret. I had given him and Grant large collection of letters I had gathered while I cleared quarry and catacombs of undead, letters that explained what had transpired there in detail. I had spilled much of my own blood and sweat to acquire them, and merely asked for payment for my work. I was dismissed. Then when I found sword, I made second request. I was dismissed again. After that...well, you saw. I am curious, however, what you thought of it, whether you thought I was in wrong or not."
Silver nods.

Pear has not kicked Silver out of her motel room, and still talks to him, but her new position slightly further away, backed up against the wall and using it as a prop while her legs face forward, whereas before she sad upright in a posture few ponies would ever take.
"Whether it's you, the professor who ranks above me in the university or the expedition, the 'working class,' or 'the pony race,' when 'moral right' is the same thing as self interest, I don't consider it to be about moral right. Tearing each other apart for a little money..."

Silver nods, and stands up from his seat.
"Very well. I can not reasonably argue against that point, and I can see when I have overstayed my welcome. It was pleasure talking with you Pear. I wish you best of luck with your expedition, and hope to see you again in future."
Silver nods, and stands up from his seat.

She is completely silent after this point, instead waiting for Silver to move to leave. But when Silver is on the cusp of actually leaving the room:
"Wait! The Maarite assembly you say you found here in Baltimare. Can you tell me more?"

Silver turns to her and, after a second of silence, nods. He stays near the exit, however, and doesn't sit down.
"Okay. They had turned old Celestialist shrine on top floor of aslyum, or something of that sort, into their sacrificial chamber. Most of pews had been shoved aside to make room for their congregation and their sacrifices. Most were local or foreign griffons wearing dark hooded robes and wielding wicked sacrificial daggers. Their high priest was pony named Sweet Boek, who is apparently popular landlord in this area, and he had around him inner circle of devotees he trusted. There was Kafkar gnoll, voodoo-shaman zebra, griffon knight clad entirely in armor, and newly recruited diamond dog they were going to initiate into cult that night. Boek himself could call upon Maar to bestow powers to be used in battle. He had magic shield around him, he cast many explosive fireballs at us and captives we had rescued, he controlled his followers' minds and forced them to throw themselves on our weapons, and had even reanimated corpses of those we had killed to continue fighting us."

After she asks her question, she starts to move her body forward, until she is up on four legs on the bed, looking in the direction of Silver. One hoof at a time, she steps down from the bed onto the floor, eyes locked on Silver as best she can, and with no sound at all as her hoof touches the carpet floor. She slowly walks towards Silver, looking up at him with intense interest. Whatever she was trying to do with her mane earlier, it did not work, as her long red mane falls down and covers her left eye. But when she stops, standing right in front of Silver, she moves her mane back, and looks to Silver with a rather serious expression as she asks,
"What happened to the cultists? And to this 'inner circle'?"

High Sewn returns quickly. There are another 40 minutes until lunch, and those 40 minutes pass fairly quickly, and mostly uneventfully, with the most notable event being a customer whom High Sewn helped, where Amber was required to learn how to read the tags that distinguish specific items from one another, and what the prices are at sale versus nominal price.
