The small mare is pushed back slightly by Iron's greater weight.

She smiles back
"That'll be nice."

Her mouth returns to a more normal expression. Then a pleading expression:
"Maybe, a little something to send back?"
She looks up at him with big, green eyes.

>>149833
"To your family?" Iron quickly asks, mostly to be sure that's who she'll send it to.

>>149834
"Yes." she says, trying to move her head and neck towards Iron's fur, to press against him

>>149835
"How much are we talking about?" Iron soon inquired in turn with a softened look and a caring smile.

>>149836
"That's... She looks up, then to the side, then down, eventually settling her eyes back on him

"My question to you."

>>149837
"Then we will settle that when we know for sure what we will get," Iron answered in turn with a warm smile. "Is that alright with you?"

>>149838
"I'll get back to you on this." She says with a sort of mischievous smile

>>149828
He pats her on the back
“She only met June last semester? I would have guessed they had know each other for awhile.”

>>149840
"Heh, no. Or maybe they have known each other longer? I don't know. They started dating last semester. June is a student at the Medical School. He's a legacy, since his father also went there."

>>149842
“Oh his dad went to school here? I didn’t know that. Do you know more?”

>>149839
Iron couldn't help but chuckle slightly at her retort before giving Sands a little nuzzle. "And I will make sure you do not forget," he playfully answered in turn.

>>149844
"Yeah, well, his dad is a doctor in... Fillydelphia, I think? I'm not actually sure, but his father is a doctor. He sends him money. That's why he can afford this nice apartment. He's older, goes to the medical school here. He's really social. Really social. In several student groups. He knows many ponies, on and off of campus. He's dating Mars Loaf... I already told you that. He likes politics, as you can tell."

>>149845
She smiles, and closes her eyes at the nuzzle

"hehehe" she giggles

>>149846
Having done his part, Iron soon pulled back with a smile. "We will take some boomsticks for the journey," he informed the unicorn mare. "You know how to use them?"

>>149846
“Really social? How many friends does he have here? I like politics myself.”

>>149848
“Oh, I don’t really know…” she has an awkward smile

“I don’t have… all that many. Here…” she turns her head up

“But I know he has many, and he’s pretty heavily involved in student politics. He claims to know ponies involved in the Unions.”

>>149847
”Boomstick?”

It takes her a while to understand
“Like, firearms? I know something” she says.

>>149849
Iron nodded a couple of times. "Good," he answered in turn before glancing back at the bedroom door, wondering how were the preparations going.

>>149850
Black Cauldron comes out, carrying a number of items. More than she can carry, really.

>>149851
With that obviously implied cue, Iron soon sprang forth and offer his pack animal services by bowing softly in front of Cauldron to let her choose what sort of stuff does she want to pass onto him.

>>149852
“Just a moment. Well… okay, water, a shovel, blankets… we need blankets. Hurry, the train leaves soon.”

>>149853
Sensing Cauldron's mind being overly busy right now, Iron decides to simply take the initiative and take the heavy stuff off her back to lighten the load. Besides, he should still have the straps on him, right? Why not act the part, too?

>>149849
“Well you have one more now.”
He smiles at her
“In the unions wow! That so awesome. Has he said anything else?”

>>149855
She smiles, and it's a smile that is almost accompanied by a laugh, as her lips move back and up, and show her teeth and fangs. But then her smile is removed, to a more neutral or even displeased expression.

"Yeah, he says a lot of things. Like, a lot of things. He claims that he was involved in the September rising somehow. Like, he carried a rifle, and helped build a barricade, or something. And then he bravely hid and buried the guns. Something about helping hide ponies, anyways, he claims to know ponies in the old political organizations. But that's just what he's said to me and Mars. He helps head some kind of student organization. He says it's for freedom of speech, and he has special access to news through sources. I don't know about all of that."

Nadir looks over, and noticably Mars and June have started making out, as have the short cut stallion and the mare, while Lense talks to the yellow mare and Star Cut.

>>149854
Basically, Iron just needs a big saddle bag, as does Cauldron. Cauldron is trying to hide the firearms in a bag, then in a sleeping bag, and spends a while trying to make the long items look as inconspicuous as possible.

>>149857
“Did I say something wrong?”
“Wow that’s so cool, June sounds like an amazing creature it’s so cool. Helping hide creatures from the fascists is the best thing you could do.”

>>149859
"It's just-" Her right ear twitches, turns, and then flops down, as her eyes momentarily look away. Then she looks back to Solar Night and stares for a few seconds.

"Yeah, he is pretty amazing I guess. He's really nice, and really charming. I can see why Mars likes him."

Mars is showing how much he likes him over closer to the kitchen, and the short hallway that leads past the kitchen to the front door. The display of affection would be obnoxious in a different setting, and the couple is not alone, joined by the seemingly new couple of the short cut stallion and the mare Solar Night has not spoken to.

>>149795
"Well, you and I could go to meeting and meet up with other ponies, and discuss these sudden changes."

>>149854
A shovel, a rifle, a set of blankets, a rifle, a set of leather belts... another rifle? Iron gets a set, and Cauldron gets the remainder, like medical supplies and the machete

>>149858
>>149864
If Iron could carry all that, he would gladly do so. Hopefully the contents were discreet enough to not be asked any intrusive questions by curious bystanders.

>>149865
Exactly why Iron is carrying so many overly long rolled up rugs, and so much leather and ropes, few can tell. But it's time for the ponies to go to the train station

>>149866
Iron was wholly prepared for this little adventure, standing proud with all the stuff he was carrying while awaiting Cauldron and Sands to be ready as well.

>>149867
Black Cauldron walks past Iron, and out the door

>>149868
Iron quickly follows along with Cauldron's pace, making sure the equipment on his back didn't try to slide off or spill just in case.

>>149860
Henlo

>>149883
Um….

Hi

There should be time to play tomorrow.

Everypony in this thread is a qt

>>149719
"It is best for you to stay with us if you don't have a ride."

>>149872
Black Cauldron hails and gets in a taxi, telling the driver not to mind the sleeping bag, what is totes a folding chair, blanket and bulging saddlebags and shovels, and asks for a short trip to a specific bar, and then the train station

>>149900
She stares at Spark for a moment, blinking, and then saying

"Okay, I'll do that. If you will, I mean...

>>149861
"Sure. Yeah. We could do that..." He is laying down on the couch, with his ears starting to fold down, and looking very much afraid.

>>149904
"Once we are all set to return, we will be moving out of the city, which should make it easier to avoid trouble and locate a way back to your friends."

>>149905
She nods rapidly

“Yes, that sounds like what should be done. I need to get out of here.”

>>149904
"What is wrong?"

>>149909
“Wrong? Is something wrong?”

>>149910
"If your body language is anything to go by, yes."

>>149911
“Maybe… maybe a little” he says, tucking his legs under his body.

>>149907
"Patience. We are all getting out of here."

>>149914
“Um, okay…” she says, laying down on the couch.

>>149915
Spark looks for the doctor.

>>149916
The doctor is near the kitchen, conversing with Waabishki, who is sitting down, and Petal.

>>149912
"Do you want to talk about it? Or should that wait until later?"

>>149918
“No, let’s just… take action! Yeah…”
