>>142077Silver has a think about this for a second, before deciding on something.
"So...is this part of kirin religious practices?"
>>142078Khoi:
"Tea in the morning? No."
>>142079"Well, no, I mean your current state. I am just curious as I have not seen it before."
>>142081"Like how you are currently acting different from how you do normally. It is just something noteworthy."
>>142082"I'm not as heavy of a sleeper as you two think I am." She says, and takes another sip.
>>142084"Ohhhhhhhhhh. Why did you not say so? Jubilosa is making coffee, perhaps cup would do you well?"
>>142085I left off a while ago, so what happens next?
>>142086"I don't drink coffee." She takes another, long sip, and then inspects the evidently empty cup
"But I will take some." She says
>>142088Amber gets inundated with waves of Friday customers. Let me get the chart again
>>142089Silver smiles.
"You got it."
Silver continues to cook the fish to completion for Jubilosa, and dish it out for her.
Fun fact, the date in the game is somewhat close to today's date, being late January
>>142090Silver produces a fired fish that may or may not be breaded, and serves it to Jubilosa
>>142088The relevant posts for Amber are
>>140532 → and
>>140530 →The first ponies to enter under Amber's shift are a young couple, not all that much older than Amber, with a yearling colt on the mare's back
>>142091He also gets Khoi (and Jubilosa, if she hasn't gotten one already) a cup of coffee. Looking back at what they have in the kitchen, and realizing he didn't make anything for himself, he decides to make some rice for a quick breakfast.
>>142092Give me an hour, I have some minor business to attend to.
>>142093Easy enough to boil water and put rice in it.
Khoi and Jubilosa take the coffee
>>142095It won't be much, but it's filling.
>>142096Jubilosa takes the fish, and starts to eat it, making use of available silverware.
Khoi gets up, and seems to also want to make rice.
>>142097Silver smiles at Khoi as she approaches.
"How would you normally prepare your rice?"
>>142098"When there is not much available, just as plain rice. With beans or lemongrass if possible. With butter sometimes. But usually, just as rice."
>>142099"Well, we do have lemongrass. Does that sound good?"
>>142101Silver adds lemongrass to the rice, and increases the amount he's cooking to account for the extra mouth.
>>142102Khoi returns and sits up, while Jubilosa eats more fish
>>142103It still doesn't take long for Silver to cook the rice. He portions it out between himself and Khoi, then sits down at the table.
"How is fish?"
>>142104"It's good" Jubilosa says, with fish in her mouth.
Khoi sits down, and slowly lifts the bowl to eat from it directly
>>142105Although he was originally going to use a fork, he stops midway through after looking at Khoi, and decides to follow her lead.
>>142106Khoi looks over, and gives a small smile, before nibbling at the rice
>>142107And so the trio enjoy their breakfast, eating heartily so they may have the energy for the rest of their day. In the middle of it, Silver decides to ask Khoi a question.
"Did you have any more questions about mating, Khoi?"
>>142108The bowl drops from Khoi's hooves, landing on the table with a loud "clank," and rice spilling out as the bowl rolls slightly before coming to a stop upright.
Khoi's eyes are wide open, and there is rice on her muzzle
>>142109Silver uses his magic to try to pick up the rice that spills.
"Hey, I worked hard on that rice!"
>>142110This is relatively easy for the most part, as it has spilled on the table
>>142111"Phew...alright. So, any questions?"
>>142112She blinks, but is otherwise silent
>>142092Amber says,
"Welcome!" and directs them to one of Cream Pop's booths.
>>142113"I know you talked with Jubilosa about this before. It is perfectly okay to ask me these kinds of questions. I do not mind at all."
He beams a smile at her.
>>142114Amber could be forgiven if she thinks the "Yippee!" of the young colt, who throws both forehooves into the air, is out of excitement of being placed in a booth.
A new couple comes up. Middle aged or older.
>>142115She places her head on the table, and covers her eyes with her hooves
What a cute foal… she thinks to herself.
This couple is given a high table under Larkhaven within the restaurant.
>>142117A set of creatures come in. Three ponies and a griffin. One mare and the rest male. They must be around Amber's age
>>142119A colt answers
"There's this colt who says he's coming. But I don't really think he's coming."
>>142116He tilts his head at her.
"What is wrong?"
>>142120"Alright, there's a nice view in the front here."She gives them a combo booth/table under De Sew.
>>142121Jubilosa leans over and whispers in Silver's ears
"I don't think she comes from a very socially progressive culture. From what she said yesterday it sounded like her parents were monarchists. She seems to think sex is taboo, or something."
>>142122The little group is sat down quickly enough.
A mother and her colt move to leave the restaurant
>>142123Can Amber see where they were sitting originally?
>>142124It looks to have been Melon Mangrove's section
>>142125As the mother and colt leaves Amber says to them,
"Hope you had a good time. Thank you and come again!", beaming with a smile.
>>142126Four more. A mare, a stallion and two foals. No wait. That's a foal in her mane. Three foals, five in total.
>>142123He whispers back.
"I know."
He once again addresses Khoi.
"You know, sex is completely natural thing. It is nothing to be ashamed of being curious about."
>>142127What's a good place for a family…I know!She takes them to another booth under Cream Pop.
>>142129"Maybe not as different as you think. Ponies and kirins both require sex to be born, after all."
>>142131A couple stallions walk in
>>142131"Is this... normal conversation? At breakfast? With relative strangers? When there is a third person, a female, present?"
>>142132He shrugs.
"Normal is subjective term. We are all here to ask and answer questions, and you
did already ask Jubilosa some questions about sex. It could be very valuable to have some insight from male perspective."
>>142133One stallion is about to say something but then the second says:
"Bar."
A group of perhaps seven arrives, looks like four adults and three children of various ages
>>142135She still doesn't seem to want to look at anyone
"Could it be more... private?"
>>142136Silver nods, even if she can't see it.
"I do not see why not. We can discuss it in your room, all three of us."
>>142136She points the stallions to the bar, grateful that it's Salt Mixer's responsibility now. She hastily turns back to the group.
"Are you all together?" >>142138"Yes" a mare answers
>>142137"
Three?" she says
Jubilosa takes a sip of her coffee
>>142139"Unless Jubilosa did not want to help provide input, or if you would feel better just two of us."
>>142139"You can put together a couple of tables in the front…here, I'll help you." She takes them to a couple of Melon's tables.
>>142137Giggity >>142140Jubilosa scoots over a little closer, and pets Khoi. Khoi is silent
>>142141They seven are seated together, with tables placed together.
Two more ponies leave
>>142142Where did those ponies come from?
>>142142Silver tilts his head at the kirin.
"Would it make you feel better if I gave you my word that nothing will happen between us?"
>>142143Larkhaven
Six... diamond dogs? They must be Diamond dogs. Six of them come in. Three adults, three pups, it looks like
>>142144She still want look at Silver, but she will answer his question:
"It is not a distrust of you. It is... it is a very private thing, only between married couples, not to be discussed in the open or in front of females."
>>142145Amber isn't sure how she should speak to them.
I wonder if it would be okay to put them in the patio… >>142145"Hmm...interesting set of requirements, but alright, I can abide by those, if you can forgive 'married couple' restriction."
>>142147"Okay..." She says, almost defeated
>>142146Clock's a ticking
>>142148Silver returns to what's left of his bowl of rice.
"But after breakfast, alright? It is shame to leave such good food to waste."
>>142148Best not to offend them, especially if they have young 'uns. If it's good enough for ponies it'll be good enough for dogs. I just hope we don't have too many more large groups… She's still hesitant to speak to them but she politely leads them to two more of Mango's tables.
>>142149"Okay..."
She places her hooves down, and looks down
>>142150[1d2 = 2] >>142150They take the tables, although they seem not to understand - at first - the necessity of the tables being brought together
>>142152Amber is glad that's over, though she hopes they don't cause any trouble.
>>142151Silver finishes his rice rather quickly, and smiles at Khoi.
"Ah, filling...okay, ready?"
>>142153With Diamond Dogs, you never know
Two enter. Stallions
>>142154She smiles weakly and awkwardly back at Silver. She does however, actually turn so that her left eye, at least, is facing towards Silver
>>142155Silver gets up, takes any empty dishes to the kitchen sink, then goes upstairs to Khoi's room with Khoi in tow.
>>142156May be a little hard to tow Khoi
>>142155Amber asks the two, as with the other pair, whether they would prefer a table or to be seated at the bar.
>>142158"Table" one says affirmatively. The other looks at him, before saying "A table is good. Table."
>>142159Okay, they get a high table.
>>142160The two take a seat, and two ponies leave. These belong to Mustard Trim's lonely occupied table outside
>>142157Silver looks back to Khoi, still smiling.
"Do you want to come?"
>>142162She looks around, and then follows Silver
>>142163Once the two are in her room, he closes the door behind them. He looks around at her room, realizing it's the first time he's been in here.
"Alright. We are in private, we are only two in room, and while we are not married couple I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have on sex and mating."
>>142164For what it's worth, Mala theoretically could have woken up and walked in on any conversation downstairs, as he can be seen sleeping in his bed as Silver walks past.
The room is kept a bit tidier and cleaner than Silver's room. There is no globe, nor taxidermied animal of some species unknown to Silver. It's a less well furnished room over all, and Khoi certainly hasn't added to any clutter.
Khoi lays down on the bed, laying her head down.
"I don't know..."
>>142165Silver sits down with her on the bed, privately wondering if the more spartan room layout is one she prefers or not. She can feel the bed shift as the comparatively large weight of the toned stallion presses on the bed.
"Well...perhaps I could ask question of my own, first, to break ice. What do you know about sex already?"
>>142166She moves a little further away, her legs moving under her as she lays
"That it is for reproduction." She says
>>142161Amber wonders to herself why two ponies would want to sit out in the cold like that, and she feels a little sorry for Mustard who must be standing around in the chilly air.
>>142168Another four ponies enter. Also a family
>>142169"And that lust is among the deviations from tranquility of mind." She answers
>>142170"Erm...well, I suppose that is from religious beliefs. What else?"
>>142170"Here is a table for you all. Enjoy your meal!" she says, as she gives them one of De Sew's combo tables.
>>142171"Well... It is a part of the union between male and female. Partnership and marriage."
>>142172Three more, wearing relatively formal clothes, and all above young adulthood age.
>>142173Silver smiles.
"That is one part of sex, yes. What else?"
>>142173"Good evening! Would you be interested in a patio table tonight?" she asks, trying to be as polite as possible.
>>142174"And so, it should be exclusive to partnership. For reproduction. With as little perturbation of the mind as possible. It should not be treated lightly, or sought outside of partnership."
>>142175[1d2 = 2] >>142177"Oh, um, no problem." She gives them one of De Sew's regular tables.
