After getting that glass of water she feels a bit more stable. She is still a bit groggy, though. She struggle herself up on her rump.

"Well, after Canterlot fell and Sunrise with it, I..." She opens her mouth to say something but choses to stop. "I decided to move here for... reasons."

She goes quiet for a moement before she says, "Yesterday I saw your church so I thought I'd visit."

"Iron may have told you about it already, but we were contracted by government to clear out griffon traffickers inhabiting old asylum at 33 Hoebuck. It turns out that they were in league with Maarist cultists and were sacrificing those that traffickers were bringing in. Moon changed when we confronted leader of cultists and he drew on Maar's power, and returned to normal after we slew him."

“Do you need anything in particular? A place to stay, perhaps?”

The filly returns with the bread, and gives it to Heather, who offers it to Virgin Flame.

>>150742
“Wha…” her mouth opens, and her ears go down.

“Well, I don’t know. That was a week ago. Surely it couldn’t… be that? I don’t know… my father says he has seen signs. He knows things about spirits that lurk in the ether, and that wait to come here and to take our life force from us. He says they have come before, and that if someone just opens the door, they will come again. He claims that Zebras know some things, and the ponies know some things, but that neither knows enough to know the danger. He says that only those with a hoof in each culture can read the signs. He says a lot of things. I don’t know.

Did you hear about that order? They are rationing fuel again. I think it will be a good opportunity for selling under the table, like it was during the blockade.”

Virgin tears into the bread. She realizes that was really hungry as she starts to eat it. Soon it's gone.

The bread really help fill out her stomach with something other than liquor. The blurriness and double images around her suddenly converge into a crystal clear vision. Even if she still has some headache.

She turns over to the pair and draws a circle in the air with her hoof while bowing towards them.

"Thank you. I really needed that," she says and looks up. "I feel much better now."

“I don’t…”
Her almost cowering demeanor returns for a moment, as she closes her black muzzle and swallows

“I don’t think think that’s right. It must be monsoons. I would say it’s for freezing weather, but it’s the wrong place for that. They must have lost fuel production in another district or something, so they are trying to make up for it.”

Virgin is about to decline the off but then remembers the cold night she just experinced and opts to nod instead to the sugguestion to stay the night.

She can help but to grin at Flowercup's sugguestion.

"From foals and fools you learn the truth," she says and gives Flowercup a smile. "Yes, maybe I-" She takes a sniff of herself and scrunches like those cute poner do<3 "I'll take you up on that offer."

She turns over to Heather.

"Any help you might need. I think I'm fairly knowledgeable when it comes to universalism but I guess my real strength is with Dawnbreaker. I... Could tell you about Princess Celestia. She visit Sunrise's orphanage when I was a filly, I even got a photo of it."

She gestures towards the pouch one her belt.

There is a crack of thunder, and it appears the clouds are denser now. Snow flies in the wind, making its way through the open door, and then around the two standing creatures on the sidewalk. There is ice forming on the sidewalk and roadways.

It's a bit late, and dark, save for lights in shops and street lights. Dark Star faces a special danger in that those who could be watching outside of the headquarters could see him. He is, at least, wearing a trench coat, hat, and glasses.

Silver can see the hyena laying on his side roll over, point his muzzle and ears at Silver, and quickly jump up to stand on his bed baring his teeth threateningly and growling at Silver, before quieting himself and returning his mouth to a neutral expression. All of this happens in about a second and a half from Silver’s opening the door.
