The music eminating from the radio once again cuts out, replaced with a silence, and then the following words, played at a higher volume than the music it replaced:

We interrupt this broadcast to bring you an important message. Governor Halcyon Shores has declared a State of Emergency.
All air and rail travel through the Tenochtitlan Basin and Hayseed regions has been suspended. All travel has suspended both up and down the Snake, Ponelippe, and Delemare Rivers.

The Governor has issued an order mandating the evacuation of all civilians from the Tonaltzintli and Saltlickingham regions effective immediately. All civilians remaining within the Zazquiyahuitl region are ordered to remain in their homes or take shelter in a structurally sound building. Civilians in Zazquiyahuitl are to lock all doors, close all windows, and cover all openings to the outside. An advisory evacuation has been issued for residents of the Tenochtitlan and Hayseed regions.

The Governor has ordered the rationing of heating oil, kerosene, coal, firewood, diesel and gasoline. All civilians districtwide are ordered to keep use of water and electricity to a minimum, and to stock up on supplies of freshwater. Schools and non-essential government services are closed until further notice districtwide. Use of medical services is restricted to emergencies.

Civilians are advised to boil any and all tap water, river sourced water, or ground water before drinking or using in the preparation of food. Use bottled water where possible. Residents experiencing high fever, a severe headache, vertigo, black tongue, dark urine, or severe abdominal and chest pain, should seek medical help immediately.

Ponies, particularly those with military, law enforcement, or medical backgrounds, are asked to join in the District Militia.

Keep your radio on for more updates."

The message stops, and the music resumes.

Paper Clipping:

"If you are worried about being caught by regime, I doubt there is that much to worry. From personal experience, Black Hooves are more occupied with putting out fires than with random crackdowns and searches. It took private citizens to discover what was going on with Comte Burgher, and our raid on Hoebuck was orchestrated by local government, not federal."

“I can imagine.” She makes a motion as if reaching for a cigarette, but none is forthcoming, nor is she even wearing a pouch from which one may be produced. When she realizes the error, she stops, and then spreads herself out, laying down on her belly on the bed.

Okay, I see that Iron is “holding her tightly,” but in any case, she reaches for a non-existent pouch, then repositions herself from laying on her side to something more like laying on her belly, and spreads out her hindlegs.

For the preceding few sentences, White Sands was content to speak to Iron without looking at him, lazily aiming her gaze at the wall on the far side, or looking down for her pouch. With Iron’s last words, however, she turns her long, thin muzzle towards him, and with her dark green eyes looks into his.

“What the tribe wants? What do they want? What do you think ‘success’ is, I mean?”

"They want me to bring back the spoils of my journey," Iron answered back with a tinge of uneasiness, feeling like he was most likely stepping into potential trouble. "Project the worth I have gained to my tribesponies."
For a moment, his grip loosened on Sands as her questions reverberated inside his skull. "...I figured it meant bringing shiny stuff at first," he continued, deep in thought "but now I am not sure."

She lays next to him in silence for a moment, and for several seconds Iron likely fears he will have to be the next to speak; that he will have to elaborate, or expand upon his words. But White Sand’s grave expression is, after the passage of some time, accompanied by a slow nod.

“The same as I.” She says, herself less able to hold a firm composure.

“It is your duty, to the family. To the… tribe. To come back with… something. On you they depend. Otherwise… what are you doing? Who even are you?”
At this point, her eyes wander, and she loses her focus on Iron

Such a reply caused Iron to slowly look at Sands with a soft expression, giving Sands a much needed stroke on her mane. However, his mind soon started to connect some dots together. "...you mean you are also part of a tribe?" he soon asked the unicorn mare with a tinge of hope, wondering if such a route may lead to him finally tackling her issues firsthoof like he so desperately wants.

"You are definitely right about that," Iron agreed wholeheartedly with a nod, starting to open himself up by just a bit. "I have barely gone out for nothing at all yet I miss them, but I cannot come back until I can proudly say I did it. Until I make them proud of me."
The words slipped his mouth, feeling quite exposed to reveal such details but ultimately deciding she needed to know he understood her struggles at the very least. It's what he should do for his mare, after all...

She again looks at him, with no smile and grave expression.

"For you it's been... you say seven days? Well for me it's been seven years. And the last seven months of that with nothing to show for it." She turns her head away from Iron, now looking at the pillow next to him, with a gaze focused far beyond that. It seems like she is done speaking, until she adds:

"I don't actually know how long it's been. Long enough."

Iron's hope quickly eroded at the sight, realizing none of this was really helping her. He had to do better!
With a determined glint in his eyes, Iron soon placed a hoof of Sands' cheek. "It is not too late to make them proud," he proposed the mare. "You are still living, therefore you must keep trying. We only need to find out how to do it."

"Love?" Iron uttered, a little confused at Sands' answer. "How are you supposed to love them from so far away?"
Meanwhile, his brain started to brainstorm a little, figuring his gambit with Cauldron could prove to be a viable way to gain the respect and admiration from her family. However, such a solution in it of itself felt a little empty compared to his physical efforts for the striped zebra mare he loved. There must be something a lot more personal to secure their relationship to be as loving as it can be.

When Iron points towards her womb, she moves her muzzle down to glance down at her belly. She blushes, and has the warmest, happiest smile he's seen on her all morning.

"If it means making you the happiest mare you can be," Iron instantly replied with unwavering, firm passion "I want it."
Deep down, however, he wasn't honestly sure if the prospect of raising a family with Sands will help them start the spark of a fulfilling relationship. It would certainly aid in finding a suitable aspect to properly latch onto and give them that missing piece he was so eager for... and now that he said it, it seemed like a great idea.
Are we really capable to raising foals in this state, though? Iron soon wondered in his head, yet quickly shooed it off for the time being: Right now, Sands needs his commitment to be shown in full force.

Soon enough, however, he turned pensive, reminding himself of the small bicker. "That does mean you will have to bond with Cauldron," he added with a hint of trepidation "and also spread the word of a new up and coming potion maker."

"Oh," Iron muttered, fully understanding where Sands was coming from. "It is not a big deal. She might have gotten too much responsibilities on her hooves to really go for it."
Regardless of his platitudes, he was a bit bummed out over it.

“Uh huh.” She tilts her head with a doubting expression

“But because of that, you doubt whether she’s really yours.”

"I would not say that," Iron denied with a shake of his head. "I am more worried that by fully comitting to it, she may find herself at her limit by taking care of the future foals."

"You mean by using her mouth?" Iron asked in turn, not fully convinced at the presumed suggestion.

"No. Well yes, but I mean by just pulling out before you orgasm, or by using a condom. Or just have sex when she's not on her cycle."

"Those sound pretty risky," Iron commented, not too sure to risk jumping the gun with these alien concepts of birth control. "I doubt I can pull out, or know when she's on her heat cycle, or what even these 'condoms' are."

She says
"So long as you don't get any semen inside her, pulling out will work. And condoms keep any from getting inside as well, so long as they don't break. As for cycles, she'll know."

"Why should I play with fire like that?" Iron answered in turn, getting more unsure by the minute. "I can always cuddle or tickle that pink nub with my tongue. The last thing I want is Cauldron being unable to properly secure her dream job due to motherhood."

She shrugs.

“If you don’t want to, then don’t.”

Iron couldn't help but pout a little at the dismissive answer, yet simply exhaled and opted instead to just continue the cuddling with Sands for the time being.

The pat on the back suddenly reminded Iron that Sands was a mare, too, soon looking back at her with a bit of concern. "Speaking of receiving," he prefaced it with a tinge of concern "are you going to start trying for foals after this?"

"I did say I would accept responsibility, after all," Iron soon added with a sheepish smile. "Perhaps you thought it expired after some time or something like that."

"Eleven months?" Iron asked in astonishment as he reeled back his head a bit. "Does it really take that long?"

She nods.
“Yes. It takes that long.”
