>>153689scrunch>>153690"Yeah. You got that right. I liked watching the larger ships on the horizon at Blackwater, some nights. Or watching the estuary fill up with water at high tide. I didn't really think of the water as this violent thing. It wasn't violent like it is here. It was more... stable. Steady."
>>153691He Laughs again, then glances over at the clock
>>153692Dark Star has taken up another 4 or so minutes
>>153690>>153690Also, the waitress returns with two hot chocolates that produce visible steam. Each has two marshmellows.
>>153694Blue Skies looks over at the presumably hungry pony
>>153691>>153695"Hmm, no wonder ships would head there and not here, then."She thanks the peppy little waitress and takes a sip of the warm, chocolatey goodness.
>>153696"Oh, they didn't head there, mostly. Just passing by on their way in and out of Baltimare harbor, I think."
The hot chocolte is reasonably hot and decently chocolatey. The second marshmellow might be a bit much, and disturb the flavor. It's a bit on the thinner side, and sadly Amber may suspect they used hot water instead of, or in addition to hot milk.
"This is good" He says, sipping it, flinching after he evidently burns his tongue, and then sipping more cautiously.
>>153697"Oh really? And what are you going to do about that?"
>>153698"Hmmmmm, well i was thinking maybe you want to get something to eat too."
>>153699"Oh, I'm alright" She says
>>153700"Well, i think ill go grab a bite to eat before i have to head to the campus"
He kisses Her Nose
>>153701Snoot is kissedShe closes her eyes and her head moves back
"OKay. Maybe it's better if your new persona and I weren't seen together in public."
>>153702"Yea i thought about that to. but i thought i would ask anyway."
He kisses her Nose again
>>153704He Gets up, Grabs his beige overcoat and glasses and heads out the door as he blows blue a kiss
>>153705She moves her tail around from under the covers as Dark Star, or rather, Solar Night leaves.
>>153707Just keep smiling through, like you always do. Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.
>>153708BasedHe walks down the hallway and down the stairs
>>153709Down the hallway and down the stairs, there are ponies downstairs. Fewer questions are asked of a pony already inside the building than one who enters, and so Dark Star is allowed to move unopposed.
>>153710He Goes to Sea Breeze's Office
>>153711In he goes. Dark Star actually has to wait a few minutes, though he manages to get in.
"Yes?" He asks
>>153713"Good Morning Dark Star. What brings you here?" He says, rolling in his chair a little closer. He speaks a little more quickly and less warmly than the last several times that Dark Star has seen him.
>>153714"I Was just wondering if everything at the college was taken care of,in order for me to enroll,Sit."
>>153715"Well, let's see. We have here a letter saying that you've 'been admitted' and have chosen to enroll. The tuition I'm not sure has been taken care of. We haven't registered you for classes. That's a bit more micromanaging than we're willing to do. Take this letter to the administration in person. It should match another letter we've planted in their files. You need to register for classes. And don't be surprised if something somewhere isn't in their files. Delay them if you have to."
>>153716He Salutes the takes the Letter from Him
"Thank You sir. I Won't let you or the party Down."
>>153717He takes the letter. Note that the letter, which has the University's seal and a date on it from about a month ago, pertains solely to Solar Night's enrollment.
>>153718"a month ago?"
He Looks slightly confused
>>153719It must be a fake date, as obviously the paperwork was not prepared by that time.
>>153720He Folds it up and puts it in his coat
>>153721Dark Star has the letter, and may be on his way
>>153722He Salutes Sea Breeze
"You Won't Regret this,Sir,"
>>153725Dark Star leaves, and goes back into the main building
>>153726Does he see anypony he knows?
>>153727The white unicorn Secretary (if he could be said to know her), and Dusty Outback. Felipe is probably around, but he doesn’t see him
>>153731He’s a bit older, and he looks over to Dark Star with a calm, phlegmatic expression as he walks over
>>153734"Yea we have, only briefly though."
>>153735He tilts his head
“Were you at Winsome Falls?” He asks
>>153736He Puts his Hoof to his chin in thought
"Hmmmmm i Don't think so. But tell me do you remember a dark red pony with a black mane running around here causing all kinds of problems?"
>>153737“Leather jacket guy? Yeah, he got wounded a week ago and I had to drive him to a doctor.”
