>>153537She nods, pleased. She takes her hoof, and rubs it across his cheek
"Think you can die happy now?"
>>153538"Hmmmmmm"
He Puts his Hoof to his chin in thought
"Nope."
He Laughs
>>153539She tilts her head
"Okay, I'll bite. What's missing?"
>>153540"Well,I Have Somepony to care for now."
He smiles at Blue
>>153541She spends a moment looking at him, and then moves her forelegs around him, embracing him in a hug. She pulls her head up, and whispers in his ear
"Is it me?"
>>153543She hugs him and nuzzles him
coo
>>153544He Returns the hug and nuzzles Her back, as he stiffles a yawn
>>153546"Yea,it was....Quite a day"
>>153547"Are you excited for tomorrow?"
>>153548"Uh,Honestly, i'm kinda Nervous."
He rubs the back of his head
>>153549"What'cha nervous about?"
>>153550"well, ive never actually....Been to School Before"
>>153553"Not even the basics of rhetoric, drama, philosophy, or history?"
>>153554"Well, i never said i learned nothing. My Brother Taught me a lot, So did mom."
>>153556"History,Some basic science. My Brother Loved philosophy. they tried teaching me math but im not very good at that."
>>153557"Huh...." This leaves her silent for a moment. "Your brother is a pegasus, right?"
>>153559She smiles almost smuggly.
"That makes more sense. Equestria is actually more similar to Nimbusia than I thought. Earth ponies don't really gain much from education, and they usually don't receive it. When they do, it's usually technical. Unicorns have some creativity and business sense, but really they don't have the virtue to take it a good direction on their own. A pegasus, however, loves and is improved by philosophy, literature, and history."
She blinks
"Just an earth pony having a pegasus brother is a bit... different, though."
>>153560"Well i Can't Argue with you on that.Its True to an extent. Different? What do you mean?"
>>153561"I mean... how do I put this. There wasn't really any miscegenation on a large scale. It happened, but not really officially. So pegasi mares wouldn't really give birth to earth pony or unicorn foals, and if they did, it was a scandal. Earth ponies and unicorns would give birth to pegasi more often but, well, it's not really like here."
>>153563"That if I saw a family like yours in Nimbusia of farmers where one foal is a pegasus, but it's an earth pony family, I would assume some pegasus colt was taking out his sexual frustrations on the helots."
>>153564"Are you implying my mother was a whore?"
He says not sounding to pleased by the accusation
>>153565"What? No?"
She scoots back, repositioning herself so that she is no longer lying on her back, so much as sitting up. Her head moves in front of Dark Star, and rises closer to his level, while he wings are folded neatly to her back.
>>153566"What did you mean then?"
He raises an eyebrow
>>153568"Nothing. Just that, well, in Nimbusia, the races didn't really mix. You married somepony of the same race. Your place and role in society was in large part determined by your race. You made a point of showing your ancestry was pure going back generations. When you slept with somepony of a different race, you kept it secret and did it in the dark, because you knew it was something that would bring shame if brought to light. And the villages and towns would even be separate. There would even be separate quarters in the large cities for unicorns that sometimes had walls around them.
And here, in Equestria, well it's more like that than it isn't, but it's not the same. The races sometimes all live in the same city. They sleep together without hiding it, and they even go so far as to marry each other. It's different."
>>153569"So you think my mother slept with a pegasi?"
Eyebrow still raised
>>153570"Dark Star, my brother spent a decade trying to undermine my standing in our family and alienate me from my father because he thought that I was the child of my mother's infidelity. I'm not implying anything about your family, and I am definitely not casting judgement.
I think your brother has a father or grandfather or great grand father or great great grand father or some ancestor somewhere who was a Pegasus, because that's where pegasi come from. If he doesn't, then I don't know how to explain him, unless maybe the unicorns or zebras made some kind of spell or potion to turn foals into unicorns, and I don't think they'd want to do that."
>>153571He Gets a Mixture of Realization and Sorrow for her story
"Im Sorry That Happend,Blue. and im sorry i got a little defensive there."
He Hugs her
>>153572The little pony is hugged"I forgive you.
This time."
She extends her legs, and hugs him in return
"But if she did and he is, I think you should love them both all the same."
>>153573Sorry for the delay got some ramen"That....would need some- I Would Need time to think about that if it were the case."
>>153573But what flavor was it?She pulls away from the hug, and looks him in the eyes, contemplating his response for several moments. Then she moves her head a little closer, and speaks into his ear at a volume just above a whisper.
"What if the reason he's a pegasus in an earth pony family... is because he's actually a changeling."
>>153575He Looks at the Ground in thought, as if Recalling every experience he ever had with his brother, stays quiet for a few seconds then says.
"No, Thats impossible.if he were a changeling i..I Would have known.It's Impossible."
Korean BBQ. ive never had actual Korean bbq so i dont know how accurate the taste is. But i like it.
>>153576Interesting. I've never heard of thatShe looks at him seriously in silence for several moments. Then, like a dam burst, she smiles. Then she snickers. Then she burst out laughing
"Bahaha! He'd be a
very confused Changeling. I'm just messing with you, Darkie."
>>153577He Breathes a sigh of relief and then joins her in laughing
"Good, i think its time for me to get some sleep though."
Its in a Cup, Nissin Makes them. Its stir fry style
>>153578She moves a hoof, and rubs him
"I have to go back out tonight." She says
>>153579His Leg slightly kicks as she rubs him
"You do?" He frowns slightly
>>153580"I think so. I am on standby."
She rubs him more
"We're moving to take control of the Comte investigation."
>>153581"Im Gonna miss you."
He smiles
His eyes go wide as she tells him about comte
"Wait? Really Thats big news"
>>153582She smiles likewise, though the smile slowly fades as her expression becomes more serious.
"Yes. Yes it is. And don't tell anypony about it until it's over. I only found out because I was there for it at the beginning."
>>153583He Gets equally as serious
"As far as i'm concerned,you didn't tell me anything."
>>153584She smiles, and then moves her hoof up to ruffle Dark Star's mane on his neck
"That's the spirit."
She moves further up, and moves her legs so that she can stand up, and off of the loveseat.
>>153585"Wait." He says
He gets up and walks over to his saddle bag, and gets out his leather jacket, and walks back over to her
>>153587"i want you to wear it while you're out.It'll Keep you warm."
He smiles and her and gives her the jacket
