Mala says,

"Um, hi"

There's something unintuitive about speaking to Mala. Between his dog-like appearance, and silence, it doesn't seem like he should speak at all.

Nevertheless, White Orchid asks

"So, uh... what are you, exactly?" This is a totally normal question to ask someone and totally not offensive. This goes on.

White Orchid asks some basic questions, and Mala answers. Some are questions about what the Kaftar are, which he seems to like to answer, but his knowledge is limited. Some are questions about his past, which he sometimes gives evasive answers about. And some are about Mala's interests, which it seems Mala has not had much opportunity to cultivate in his life. Mala does explain to White Orchid about his father not coming home one day, and about his mother dying. He says a few things about his period of homelessness. Mala admits he's been in jail at least once, though he starts to refuse to answer questions.

Silver offers a little something to the conversation:

"Not everyone who has been in jail is bad. Sometimes thieves steal for their families. Sometimes pony kills in self defense and is still tried for murder. Sometimes people are in wrong place at wrong time."

"That would still sting less than what you're doing now." She closes her eyes, a tear running down her cheek. "Then, I didn't think you were Mustard Trim. But you know it's me now, and you're telling me to my face that I'm lyin', that I've gone after other colts and wouldn't tell you. If I had, I'd tell you right out, because anything built on lies will fall apart." She starts to openly sob, her upper body heaving. "I love you, Mustard, and that just makes this hurt all the more. I'm worried that, if this is what you think of me...it mightn't work out. I want, I really really want, to give my virginity to you, but if it doesn't and ponies judge me the way you are now, where does that put me? There are two things you can't get back, virginity and an honest reputation, and I can tell you right off I haven't gotten rid of either."

She spends an almost frustratingly long time in there. Taking care of business is a relatively short affair, but she spends much more time obsessing over how this night has 180'd over the past hour. Not only did she clear up the seemingly last of their misunderstandings, but he (informally) proposed to her! She also wonders about the passion about to ensue and whether it will hurt. She is tired for sure, but her sheer excitement easily overpowers fatigue.

Amber takes a few practice strums and settles into a simple, calmly paced tune. There are no lyrics to this song. https://youtu.be/pv1UkRXo84U

It's surprisingly difficult to find romantic country-style music from the 40's and back. If you have any recommendations go right ahead.

Good pick, but it's heavy on the cello and as I'm not a music nerd I'm not sure if it translates well to other instruments. Guitar/banjo is similar to mandolin so those are easier.

She settles into an older tune, one so old its origins are unknown to all but the most astute of scholars, yet the song itself is quite well-known across Equestria. https://youtu.be/8gcL-nweh68

Amber moves onto yet another traditional tune, but after a little bit of playing and settling into the rhythm she starts singing. https://youtu.be/XwrKhiuJlNM

"Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously.
For I have loved you well and long,
Delighting in your company.

"Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady Greensleeves.

"Your vows you've broken, like my heart,
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity.

"Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady Greensleeves.

"I have been ready at your hand,
To grant whatever you would crave,
I have both wagered life and land,
Your love and good-will for to have.

"Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady Greensleeves.

"If you intend thus to disdain,
It does the more enrapture me,
And even so, I still remain
A lover in captivity.

"Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady Greensleeves.

"Thou couldst desire no earthly thing,
but still thou hadst it readily.
Thy music still to play and sing;
And yet thou wouldst not love me.

"Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady Greensleeves.

"Well, I will pray to Celestia on high,
that thou my constancy mayst see,
And that yet once before I die,
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.

"Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady Greensleeves.

"Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,
To Celestia I pray to prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true,
Come once again and love me.

"Greensleeves was all my joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady Greensleeves."

She nestles comfortably next to him, her warm flank pressing up against his, and leans her head against his shoulder.

"Well, it ain't anything special. My ma had this mandolin passed down to her from generations ago, even though her family always lived on the farm. She's a really talented singer, far better than I could ever be, and although our church is miles away we would always go there every week and she would sing there. Well, years ago, when I was just a little filly, there was something of a local talent show there. I had practiced for weeks and weeks on this mandolin, learning everything I know from my ma. My spot was in the late afternoon, and I had such terrible stagefright, especially after a bunch of other foals messed up!" she says, with a giggle at the end.

"But my ma encouraged me on, and I imagined all the folk there to be her. I focused and focused on my performance just as the sun was setting, and at the end everypony was stomping their hooves! My parents hugged me so hard I thought I would burst, because just then I earned my cutie mark!"

Her belly is covered with shorter hair than the rest of her torso, but her meagre fluff is still enough to conceal her ribs and muscles. Her stocky body, though short in length, is rounder than Mustard and most other mares, and is built for hard work rather than speed or beauty.

He most likely has seen ponies' mammaries in a casual context before, as they don't normally wear clothes, or perhaps seen them displayed in erotic magazines, though interestingly they are considered sexier when covered with lingerie. Amber's are set just in front of her thighs and broader than most but shallow, like rolling hills, unlike some mares' which are narrow but dangle between the legs. Young mares that haven't had foals tend to have smaller teats, so there is a good chance hers will deepen with time. Mustard can clearly see her sienna-hued skin underneath the short fuzz that covers it. Her nipples, however, protrude from their middles like soft-tipped orange cones and are completely hairless.

Further down he gets a good view of her thighs and between her legs. The inside of her thighs has much shorter hair than on their outsides, and he can see veins lacing this muscular yet tender area. Her teats do not exist in isolation but their fuzzy skin merges between her thighs and runs all the way back; he may remember this warm velvet had stimulated the underside of his penis exquisitely. It finally terminates in a slight bulge of bare skin at the very back, marking the start of her vulva.

"If-if you want to now, be my guest," she states, a wide embarrassed grin spread across her face.

He looks down in fascination, and cautiously moves his hoof towards her. He places it on one of her teats, and presses in. Then he rubs it, and presses again, trying to appreciate what bounce it has. He moves his hoof along the exposed skin, down to the edge of her vulva, and back again.

Amber shudders in pleasure as he gropes her. She rubs her head against his and nickers softly into his ear.

Her teats are delightfully soft, like spongy or bouncy pillows, and he is able to push them in any direction he desires. As he does so he feels her nipple, initially giving way under his frog, firm up and poke him back. However, her mammaries aren't more than an inch thick, and as he presses in he can feel the firmness of her abdominal muscle. When he moves his hoof lower and back again her legs jitter and she sucks in a breath.

She laughs at his playfulness and nuzzles his neck tenderly. A wandering hoof happens to end up in his lap; it softly prods his testes, feeling how the sack lets itself be pushed around. It moves diagonally up his phallus, feeling around especially around his medial ring and his tip, before moving back down again. It pulls away only when she's repositioned.

Crotchboobs feel good, and it's his first chance to have fun with them since he was a baby foal. He may happen to wonder, if that's his inclination, how big they'll be after a couple of foals, and what her milk will taste like.

As Amber is let onto her back she gazes into his eyes dreamily, her face still red as autumn. If she's embarrassed it only adds to the thrill.

His phallus expands, becoming hard again. The spring in his flesh decreases with each touch. His testes move the first couple times they are touched, abd are soft bags of skin with hard spherical centers. He giggles at the touch. At one time, he closes his legs on her hoof after she touches him, though he lets go.

He lays on his side next to her, his left hindleg on the bed and his right leg in the air. He moves his upper body up, supported by his leg foreleg so that his face is over his, and he looks into her eyes.

He continues rubbing, and messing around on her lower quarters, as he moves down and touches her vaginal lips.

She coos softly as he lies beside her, and she takes a sheepish glance at his fully erect member, now pointed at her face. Both of her hind legs are in the air, though she lowers her left so he has better access to her intimate areas. She suppresses her tendency to squirm at his arousing touch.

When his hoof touches her labia, she grunts and he can feel them twitch against him, leaving some traces of moisture. A strong warmth emanates from her vagina when her lower lips open.

Poor filly is cockblocked by her coltfriend, who choses now of all times to talk about his feelings, just as things are heating up.

"Amber... You're the first filly to approach me like this, to really want me in this way..." He looks away and taps his hooves

"Uh, before we get too into it, well, my mother says that colts who are looking for a wife don't want a used filly. They want a filly who has never been with any other colt or stallion before. I don't know if this is true, but I kind of feel the same way. I would not prefer a used filly. This conversation happens between my mother and my sister every other day" His eyes look away again, before meeting Amber's

"I believe you when you say you are a virgin. I believe me when you say you are not on your cycle and won't get pregnant. I believe you when you tell me you love me. I am flattered that you want me to be your first.. No really, I am. I want to be your first colt... I want to be the first of some filly. I would like to be the one and only of some filly, some filly that I take for life." He looks away, then back

"I cannot say what the future holds. I do not know if we will last together all of our lives, or if we will only last the night. I cannot promise you I will fall in love with you. I cannot promise I will stay forever. I will go along with you if you want to make me love you, so long as you do not disrespect me. But I do not know what will happen. Now that you know that, if you still want me to take you, I will let myself take you. If you do not want me to take you, I will not be offended. If you want to wait, I will wait.

moment of decision

>>155140
Whenever there's a big gap in my posting today, it's because I took the opportunity to have a nap

Amber is a filly who, unlike Mustard, never felt release this night. Intermittently she has received foreplay well in excess of what gets a pony in the mood to hump or get humped. Several times she has felt the powerful emotions of passion, betrayal, sadness and longing, and after all this she finally thinks happy endings just might be true. Her appraisal of this colt has been a rollercoaster this night, but following her fainting has only gone upward, climaxing with his very informal (and unofficial) offer of marriage.

In short, the virgin's body is craving to be bred right now, here, by this colt who never sired, anestrus be damned. He can see it in how her eyes drink him in, how her body squirms desperately, how her pugnacious little clitoris pushes through its enclosure. He can hear it in her heavy breaths, her soft whines as he waxes on–though she hangs onto every word. He can smell it with the now ample pheromones her vagina is releasing, enough to keep him twitching, maybe even dripping. Most colts would go ahead and deflower her right there, even if it was estrus, and put a baby in her.

Gradually, her breaths return to normal, her squirms slow down, and her vulva stops winking. It's probably for the best he made a lengthened, corny speech, and it may have been intentional to get her in a more balanced state of mind.

"Mustard, you're a gentlecolt to, even now, think about my future, about whether this might harm me or not." She blushes, this time from being honored rather than stimulated or embarrassed.

"My ma would say the same thing, that good and noble stallions want a chaste mare, one who doesn't gallivant around with others. That colts and fillies should be chaperoned before getting married, so they 'come by it honest' when having foals."

"She didn't talk about it that much, but I did know not to go kiss strange ponies, not unless you intend to marry 'em. I didn't know about…this…this is called 's-sex', r-right?" she asks, this time her blush one of embarrassment as well. "But if I had I wouldn't want it outside of marriage, a lifetime commitment, anyway. What little I have experienced tonight, it's…it's magical, somethin' that feels amazing, but that's more than feelin', it's…a lifelong bond." She breathes in and out.

"On the hill, I didn't know what I was getting myself into. If you–if you took my virginity then, I might begrudge you. But you didn't. And since then, you've shown yourself to be a true gentlecolt in every way, 'specially now. I'll admit I didn't give myself very good ground to present myself as honest, and I could be more honest than I am, but despite that you chose to trust me–I meant it, by the way, that I would never lie to you. You forgave me after I mistreated you so badly, and as much as I mean my promise to never hurt you again, I'm still surprised you'd ever think of marriage after that. I found a lot of the talk of my virginity hurtful, but that you think of it as so important proves you don't want some fling, but something better."

She stares into his eyes, her head raised from her supine position. "I guess what I'm tryin' to say is, you're truly special to me. Get a good look at me: if I'm not the pony you would like to spend the rest of your life with–and I understand fully if you don't want that–that's okay, and we can do something else. But if there's a good chance then…then even if it doesn't work out in the long run, I still want you inside me and I'll take my chances, because you deserve everything I can give to you. I don't know many colts to be honest, but you're special to me, and I think you're the one, and I would be honored if we…if we consummated this." She watches his response intently.

He smiles at her like she's adorable at first, has a look of concern for most of her response like he is afraid of something, and then smiles at her last words. He takes his hoof, and ruffles her mane.

But at the end of it, he still feels the need to make a follow up question.

Mustard can feel her tremble as he tenderly touches her; the thrill of touching a member of the opposite sex–one whom you love dearly, no less–in such a new and intimate way is especially titillating to the teenagers, as not only is it an unfamiliar sensation but it carries the emotional significance of stumbling on a forbidden cache of knowledge.

He is able to get a feel for the shape and sensation of her vulva, his hoof pushing through a couple of scraggly hairs on its underside and feeling the warmth emanating from her lips. It's quite a uniquely feeling organ, being purely soft and fleshy yet almost rubbery, no doubt to protect her interior from the elements. She squirms softly when he feels how much give it has, and when her small clitoris gives his frog a kiss she can't help but moan, "Ohhhh~"

Mustard abandons his recently assumed posture so he can have a closer glimpse of her lower extremities, pulling his head back, and trying to look at her.

He moves his hoof, and starts rubbing her lips.

This is not a perspective he has seen before, and it's quite an attractive one. Her legs are spread outward so he can see everything of significance, from her anus, up past her soft vulva, past the shallow peaks of her teats, to her cute little face smiling down at him. She gives a toothy smile, her purple eyes gleaming at him on either side of the white band on her forehead.

However, when he touches her intimate areas she throws her head back with a gasp, then sighing. As her moist lips are rubbed they separate easily from each other and he can catch glimpses of her warm, pink interior. Deeply aroused, her clitoris tries to show itself, but given its size it cannot push her labia out of the way entirely, only showing a little pink nub.

He moves even further back, eventually getting off of the bed, so he can looks inside her.

He moves his hoof so that the end of it is pressed inside of her, and he moves his hoof back and forth, pushing her lips aside, and forcing his hoof at least part way into her vagina itself.

He hears her groan as the even more sensitive interior is touched by his curious hooves. Her vagina is too small to accommodate his hoof fully, at least without a painful amount of force. Trying to get a good look, he sees much the same as before, albeit upside down: up at the top, curved part of her vulva is her small, smooth clitoris, her urethra just below–if he was curious about just where mares peed from–and finally her untouched love canal. Putting his hoof deeper, he can see the ridged walls contract to almost close together, then slowly relax back open as she sighs. He can't quite touch a ring of thin, pink skin which is part of the way down and which obscures a deeper view.

Her labia, and the flesh underneath, have some stretch to them, and he can see the folds of her open vagina shift back and forth with his hoof. He can also directly touch her here; the pink flesh feels soft and warm, almost like the inside of a pony's mouth, but it's slick with something that is decidedly not saliva. He can't tell if this moisture is coming from her urethra or something along her canal. When his soft frog waves across those fleshy ridges, she groans as her rump and legs spasm slightly.

"Does it…does it…aah!…look as good as it feels?"

It gleams in the light and has a strong musky scent. In fact, being this close, the smell–designed to enrapture mates–is intoxicating, and he may recall fond memories of following mares just a bit too close as they were going through estrus.

Amber doesn't say anything, but he can hear her shallow groans repeat, one after the other, as her chest rises and falls. Her little heart-shaped nub, even if it's not being touched, is regularly pulsing, and he can see her vaginal walls close in on empty air and relax, repeatedly.

Mustard can see her tremulously reach a hoof down and grope her own teat, grabbing it perhaps more forcefully than he might have dared.

Amber, who has never touched herself in this way before, let alone be touched by another pony, makes louder and heavier moans. Though she is staring up at the ceiling, in her mind's eye she can imagine Mustard Trim–her special somepony, her one true love–doing such lovely things to her, being united in one flesh forever and ever. Every part of her tingles as it is laid bare, especially the most sensitive and arousing parts, and the knowledge that her carnal secrets are being shared with one pony is as arousing as the stimulation itself.

And then…

She crests over a hill for the first time ever, and realizes she can ride it down gradually or have a total release. Desperate after waiting so long, the choice is clear. Her moans turn into a pleasured squeal loud enough to be heard by the neighbors, if not wake them up, as her shaking rump lifts off the bed. He gets a front row seat to the first orgasm he witnesses that is not his own. Her clitoris pokes out farther than it had before as her vagina clamps down on empty space, staying in that right position. Her urethra spurts forth a thick, yellow liquid in an arc, perhaps as far as his face but definitely covering her hoof, and repeats a couple more weaker ejaculations before merely dribbling it down her vulva, around her anus and dock and onto the blanket below.

In just a few seconds her rump falls back down onto the bed, and her hooves return to her sides. She is taking heavy breaths, giggling just as he had done on that hill. "I think I just…heh…." she mutters, her mind still in a coital daze.

"Eeeep!" He jumps at the liquid, and disappears from behind the bed to go to the bathroom.

For some odd reason, Amber gets the feeling that their neighbors are kind of just used to hearing sex noises at 2 AM.

Her colt, her one-sided bonded life partner, returns to the room after quickly washing off his hoof. He jumps onto the bed, and looks to the little filly.

She certainly looks less restless now and lies there calmly, though not in a frigid sort of way. He can watch his tip push into her relaxed and soft, and now very wet, lips. Amber looks up at him, moaning softly as the main course is finally being realized, feeling his most intimate organ make contact with hers. He may have to push a little lower, sliding down her pink wet entrance to her pleasured sighs, to enter her vaginal canal proper. All four of her legs grab softly onto his body as she looks at him expectantly, her mouth open.

It's easier than he might have expected, helped along by her wetness and extremely relaxed muscles. However, very quickly he arrives at a thin and pliable, but very fragile barrier, and he can go no further without forcing his way past.

Once he reaches this position, he stands there in place, and looks to her with hesitation, examining every expression on her face. But then he lowers his muzzle and forces it onto hers, thrusting his tongue into her mouth, and contacting her tongue.

He lowers his hind legs, and presses his hooves in, trying to get the best grip. Then, with slow but very steady force, he pushes into her. Harder. Then harder. With as much force as necessary, he pushes himself all of the way into Amber, as deep into her as he can manage.

Amber eagerly presses her tongue up against his. However, as he tears through her hymen she can acutely feel it and almost manages to pull her head away as she yelps in pain into his mouth. It may occur to him that this detail might have been a bad idea: had she bit down–she hadn't–he might have had trouble talking for a while.

She also compresses her vaginal muscles once again in response to the jolt of pain, and he can feel her ridged walls squeeze his hard penis tightly. However, with leverage, being partly in already and with ample natural lubricant he can force himself through easily. As the pain subsides and is replaced with new feelings of pleasure, she rejoins his kiss with gusto and her vagina loosens to better accommodate him. He isn't a tight squeeze but they can feel each other most intimately, with Mustard's member feeling every hot, slick ridge he pushes past. Her inside is very warm, almost hot, and a delightful change to the cold dry air.

She groans and shudders in pleasure–heightening his as her vaginal walls tremble and move in turn–as he pushes deeper, his medial ring and finally the edge of his sheath reaching her vulva. He encounters another barrier, this one thicker though perhaps more pliable, but with the length he has left he would be able to squeeze only his very tip through.

He pauses for the moment that Amber yelps. But he isn't going to refuse to her what she's asked for, and instead he presses in as far as he can go, ignoring any complaints of pain. He slowly starts to withdraw, and hen push in again, in several slow movements. He increases the pace, though only slightly. He makes loud breathes through his nose as he moves in her, then out.

Two things are very clear, that she was a virgin, and now she isn't.

Amber looks at him with lidded purple eyes as he makes her his mare. Her hind legs rub along his backside as he plumbs her depths. Her vaginal walls slowly clench around his entire length, her rear wiggling back and forth to rub those two sensitive surfaces together, before releasing him with a sigh. Her front legs also wrap around him in a tender embrace as her tongue enters his mouth now. She tries clenching and relaxing her vaginal muscles in different ways, before finding that relaxing to let him in and tightening as he pulls out is the most pleasurable.

As before, Mustard Trim takes Amber's deflowering more seriously than her, and the moment is marked with a frowning expression of dread. But this is quickly replaced by gritted teeth, and small snorts as he keeps up the physical activity. He has made a permanent mark on this filly, and he is going to finish her.

He takes loud breaths, pushes in, and makes a few "Ah!" and other sounds, pushing in and out, again and again. There is a small spurt, and Amber's insides are lubricated just a little better. This might be concerning if Amber were (known to be) in heat. But Mustard Trim presses on, not changing his pattern.

She closes her eyes, sighing and groaning in pleasure along with the wet sounds of their lovemaking. She has long made up her mind, and has longed for just this. "Oh…harder…please…" she begs in a voice that's almost a whinny. She tries her best to follow his pattern, and though she makes small mistakes she loosens herself to let him in all the way, then tightens to feel every detail of his shaft as he withdraws. Her groans intensify as he presses on, and she can't help but squirm, his penis needing to bend slightly down her tunnel as she twists.

Amber gasps, again and again as she is carried away by ecstasy, feeling him push faster and harder into her, between her sensitive walls, right up to her cervix. Her teats bounce back and forth as he ruts her with animalistic fervor. She is finally fulfilling her biological urge to mate despite every difficulty, and there is no stopping her.

Her hind hooves dig into his flanks as she lets her legs move along with him, wanting him to keep going, and going, and going. She takes heavier and more ragged breaths as she on the bed beneath him. "Ohh…Mustard!" she yells, followed by another squeal that the neighbors certainly heard. He can feel her climax around him as her walls press in on him like a vice as well as a hot wetness around his base and testicles. Moreover, the powerful muscles just behind those soft pink walls take on an instinctual rhythm, pumping him from base to tip. He might be able to not be pushed across the edge after that, but even if he wants to it would be extremely difficult.

Amber feels a spurt of liquid inside of her, then another, and another one. Mustard raises his head upwards, and rolls his eyes.

"Ah..."

He does not, however, stop. He thrusts forward, pulls back, and thrusts again. Liquid fills her insides, and the friction between the two becomes much lesser. Mustard's semen mixes with Amber's blood as it slowly pours onto her bedsheets.

Mustard looks down to Amber and makes a "hehehehe" that crosses a laugh with a whinny. He does not stop with her, but if anything, increases the pace.

He lowers his hindquarters to get a new angle on her. He now makes rapid, short thrusts. This higher pace is necessary, because her insides are so wet as to barely have friction, and he will now require eve more stimulation.

He is panting heavily, and mostly looking in front of himself at the wall. Occasionally he looks down to Amber. He looks dazed, and almost out of control of himself. The bed is starting to shake heavily, to the extent it could annoy neighbors.

She can feel his penis not just moving in and out, but hitting every wall. The two are not in sync with each other, so every new hit is in a slightly different place.

He makes sounds with every movement, and he has only picked up the intensity, keeping the rapid pace, but now moving faster and deeper. The friction has increased as more liquid has made its way out of her. In and out, he moves rapidly, now moving his hindquarters up for a better angle into her.

He whinnies, and closes his eyes. He goes on like this for an extended period of time, until finally, Amber can feel another spurt, and then another. Each is much weaker than what she felt before, with much less coming out. But Mustard stops, and gives a sound of relief.

Amber's moans as well and rolls her eyes back. Her pleasure has increased as she feels his flare push against her deeper walls, then his shaft directly rubbing against her clitoris as he plunges in at a steeper angle. Unlike with last time, however, her orgasm starts after his, the twitching of his rod and the expansion of his shaft finally pushing her over the edge. Like with his, there is much less fluid and significantly weaker, her muscles gently holding him and helping to squeeze out a few more drops.

She lies there, still lightly gripping his shaft, and looks up at him with tired breaths. "I love you. I love you so much."

"I was talkin' about the smell…you'd have to wash up each time." The air does indeed lie heavy with not just the lingering scent of her arousal but also the strong smell of sex.

"And after work…it's a bit out of the way for you. Are you sure there ain't a place around the restaurant where ponies won't mind if we have a little private time? And how, erm, I wouldn't mess up my dress?"

The young mare relaxes on him, content to wait out his refractory period. She isn't quite sore or exhausted yet, and his sexual pleading is slowly arousing her once more. Her nipples poke into his abdomen as she arches her back and stretches her forelegs out, placing them on top of his shoulders.

Her mane surely hangs down over the colt, draping him in hair. Some likely irritate. He moves his forelegs down lower, so that they are on her sides.

He tries to grab Amber with his thighs, so that he can push her slightly off of him. With this small distance, he starts humping movements, remaining deep inside her, pulling back slightly, and then moving back in.

She looks down at him with a tired yet earnest smile. "It's okay, just relax," she reassures him.

This is not a comfortable position for a pony, as ponies are made to use four legs, not two, but she makes it work with her strong thighs which he can see in detail. This sex-hungry mare is in control here and is rutting herself using him rather than simply being rutted, and she settles into a slow but deliberate rhythm. Her vaginal grips him tightly as she pulls up and partly out, and then loosens as she leisurely lets gravity pull her all the way down until he pokes her very cervix.

With every upward or downward movement she says something lovey-dovey, interspersed with a grunt or sigh, such as, "I…ooohhh…I love you sooo…ah!…much!"

The angle absolutely lets him go deep inside of her. Or rather, it lets her place him deep inside. As the liquid comes out under gravity, her grip on him becomes tighter. He isn't as firm as he was a half hour ago, but he at least has hardness left in him.

He has a wide grin
"Heh heh"

That's actually a pretty cute mental image

A side effect of the position is that whereas before it would drip onto her rump and the blanket before, here the results of his previous intercourse drip down his shaft onto his testicles and crotch, particularly as her sensual lips give him a kiss every time at the bottom of the cycle.

Up and down she goes, biting her lip in concentration and looking between the scene of the action and his grinning face. His lack of complete firmness means he can feel himself deform slightly as her soft ridged walls drag across him, trying to bring him towards the ceiling. Yet it's still enough to let her give him her deepest recesses, surrounded on all sides by delicate pony.

"This is…hhhuh…good exercise," she remarks, shivering from pleasure. "I can…keep this going as long as you want…mmmh…but let me know when you want to go faster."

Before, he was able to pass all of the mess onto Amber and her bed. Now, it is unavoidably his problem.

He focuses his expression on her belly. He moves a hoof, and uses it to touch her teats, and press them in. Inside of her, he can feel him twitching. He tries to move his hindquarters up to help in the movement, though the logistics do not work in his favor. He rubs his his other hoof across her.

"I don't know if I have any more in me." He says, smiling awkwardly.

"But you're uh, you're welcome to try"

He starts breathing heavily again

If he truly wanted to avoid as much mess on him as possible, he should have gone for doggy style.

poke

Her teats are as soft as ever, but her nipples are also as hard as he's ever felt them. A wonderful thing to touch as he's being ridden.

As if taking his statement as a challenge, she closes her eyes and pushes herself up and lets herself fall down with growing frequency. A plap sound repeats as her genitalia collides against his, and part of her mane falls over her left eye. Having only just used her vaginal muscles for the first time tonight, she easily loses her rhythm and can't regain it. Instead, her tunnel becomes constantly moderately tight and she tries twisting and squirming her lower body, pushing her walls into his tip at various sensitive angles. With her forelegs at her side and her expression that of labored concentration, it looks like she is in some kind of erotic dance.

Looking back to her teats, they are bouncing and shaking with every movement. Did they look the same way as she was galloping up the hill, or during their previous lovemaking on her back? Whatever the case, they are quite mesmerizing.

Her breaths become heavy and labored, and it's hard to tell whether it's from exertion or because of her mounting pleasure. Her moaning becoming ever faster may suggest the latter.

He moves his hoof so that her left nipple moves across the frog of his hoof as she goes up and down, rubbing against him. He stares in fascination at the other nipple, as it moves up and down and bounces.

Inside of her, she can feel him hardening and firming up. She can feel him flaring inside of her, and providing a new sort of friction on her walls. The liquid drains away slowly, steadily, and the friction becomes something kind of like an aggressive tickle on her genitals

"Hhh…ahhh…ohh–ohhh!"

It's impossible to tell by how much his stimulation of her nipple adds to her pleasure, but she looks to be in a state of frenzied bliss. Her moans become louder and more erratic as he flares inside her, but she shows no signs of stopping or even slowing. She lengthens her strokes, pushing his wide, sensitive tip from nearly her entrance up to the very end of the cave, and back again. It feels like she's trembling, inside and out, as she pushes herself even faster, her midsection writhing to and fro in sheer ecstasy.

And then…

Her eyes shoot open briefly before she closes them again, and she slams her rump down onto his groin with a loud squeal followed by longer but slightly quieter squeals, ending with loud pants. His entire length is encompassed in her warmth, the very tip just poking past her inner barrier. He can feel her push thick, viscous liquid around his penis, it dripping down his testicles and onto his perineum. She presses on his member, again and again, her wavelike muscles rolling from base to tip, intent on milking every last drop of virility from him. The sensation is overwhelming in the way no hoof or mouth could ever be.

Inside of her there is a twitch, another twitch, and then a slight movement down followed by increased hardness. Amber might feel a last spurt of liquid, smaller than what has come before, abs then a second twitch, and an even smaller spurt.

He has his head raised, looking at her belly. Then his head collapses back, along with his forelegs across the bed. His eyes lose focus as they point towards the ceiling. He opens his mouth in a drunken smile.

Though he contains his voice more than Amber, he cannot remain silent

Amber clenches her vagina one last time before relaxing and falling forward onto his chest, her natural urge satisfied. Her forehead presses up against his cheek while her tongue has lolled onto his collarbone. For several minutes, she utters nothing except for pleasured sighs.

She giggles and nuzzles him, before wearily dragging herself to her hooves, his member wetly falling out. She gets off the bed and, with stiff and limping hind legs, walks over to her canteen and the faucet. If he could summon the energy to look, he would see her tail raised and a mixture of her marecum and his seed dripping off her open lips onto the wood floor. She thirstily gulps down the cold water until she's satisfied, then fills her canteen and carries it with her mouth back to Mustard on her bed.

His muzzle sticks up, slightly leaned back. He smiles, opens his mouth, and makes yet another small laugh. He does not open his eyes. Indeed, he lays there the entire time Amber is up, like he’s already fallen asleep. He is like this even as she approaches with the canteen.

He can easily tell when she moves away and approaches from her heavy breathing alone. She places the canteen next to his head and kisses her mate on the cheek.

"Come on, drink some water and let's sleep," she gently coos.

She grabs the blanket and tries to pull it from under him, as they were on top of it the entire time. In retrospect her admonition not to "wet himself" was completely ridiculous.

He takes up a significant portion of the bed, and he doesn’t move from his central position. His body does, however, provide a ready source of heat, so there’s something to be gained by his presence. He’s probably already asleep.

It's not a situation she's used to; for the first time, she is snuggled next to a member of the opposite sex, her marehood still leaking down her rump. Were she not completely worn out by a full night, sleep might be difficult, but it comes swiftly enough.

Before she becomes lost in the world of her own dreams, she thanks Celestia, Luna, and Cadance for granting her the best night ever, and for a coltfriend she can truly love. Any worries of the present or future are lost in this post-coital bliss.

Amber falls into deep sleep, and deeper dreams.

When she wakes, she can remember the following snippets of several dreams.

Above all else, what is remembered is not the scenes delivered nor the sights nor even the feelings, but a sound. Overlaying her whole experience of the night are memories of sound. The sound is the music she heard that night in the Club Maurice from the viol player, remembered wholesale from his performances. Every note, every pitch matched as it occurred that night; or at least, as far as she can recollect it.

Amber's first remembered dream is of her, standing on a dock by some river she must have seen in a movie, or in childhood. On the dock with her is the fluffy unicorn that came into the shop a few days before looking to buy clothing for his griffin lover There is a small steam boat there. The fluffy unicorn extends a hoof and asks for her to come aboard. The music playing is a piece that played at the Club Maurice just as her dance with Mustard Trim was nearing its end. It conveys a sense of excitement, and of journeying into the unknown.

The next scene is understood to be a later portion of the same dream as above, though how the dream progressed in such a way as to produce two scenes that so radically vary in character is not understood.

In the dark of the night between the lights of apartment buildings in a mild rain, Amber stands on the roadway next to an unseen character understood to be the fluffy Unicorn. A slew of police officers fire their guns at Amber and the unicorn from the side of the street and from black vehicles, while the unicorn shoots at them with a submachine gun. The music makes a sudden drop after a peaceful interlude; it's that sound of a rabbit that hops across a field, before a falcon swoops down and takes it.

The next scene is of Amber talking to Mustard Trim on the hill. In the beginning of the scene - actually for the entirety of the dream, really - Mustard is that kind of jovial (introverted, but jovial) personality, talking to Amber for all of her questions. Asper Spring walks up next to him, and he places a leg over her. He explains that she is pregnant with their first child, and the two will be married by the summer. And the music? Imagine the stars, or the northern lights, hanging in the heavens as bright, beautiful lights that shine over all. Now imagine those same lights, those bright shining stars, crashing to earth. So the music follows though with the actions of the dream, the stars crashing as Asper's pregnancy is announced.

The final - actually it's the penultimate - dream is of Amber returning to her family farm. It's broad daylight, almost overly bright. They ask Amber how she is doing in the big city, and want to know what she's been up to. The music suggests happiness and familiarity. From a yellow taxi - the same tax Amber arrived in, by presumption, Amber sees Red Scabbard exit, holding a manila envelope. She knows where she has seen that envelope before. The music suggests hidden danger. Red Scabbard takes that envelope, and gives it to her father. Her father in turn opens it, and shows the contents to her mother as well. It's photographs of her having sex with Mustard Trim. Her father and mother are horrified, and then disappointed, yelling at her and calling her a whore. The music builds to a crescendo. Red Scabbard looks at Amber with a malign grin. His eyes reveal that he is a changeling.

The final dream has her start outside of the Club Maurice, looking through a whole in the wall next to the entrance. This dream is unique in that the sound cannot be recalled. Whereas the music that played before were sounds she had heard before, these sounds are completely new; nothing she has ever heard before. Indeed, they are not like any sound ever heard, as the air cannot transport them. Perhaps it is for that reason she does not have a precise memory of what the sounds were, so much as the thoughts they left on Amber. But something about the sound implies gods - Alicorn spirits - frolicking in the ether that lies between celestial bodies, being stalked by malign entities, attacking them, then fleeing. Amber's point of view is very vivid, as it really does feel as if she were there, experiencing this. She moves through the whole in the wall, and past tables where patrons have left drinks. The diamond dog is not there, nor the Pegasus waitress from Las Pegasus, nor Dark Denizen - though she does smell cigarettes. Alone in the dream is the aging white griffin, who plays his viol on the stage. She moves closer and closer to him as the heavenly sisters fight a rearguard action, withdrawing. She moves even closer, until she is before him. He stops playing, and with this is the one and only moment of silence in the entire dream. He turns his almost glassy blue eyes to Amber, and has an expression of fear.

Then she wakes.

Yes, he's still there. Very much still there, as Amber has been partly over him the entire night. His mouth is partly open, his eyes are closed, and he lies on his back. Amber may for a moment worry if he is dead, because his position is perfectly the same as when she saw him fall asleep. This is fortunately disproved by the rise and fall of his chest. He also has an erection. He does not respond to the whispering.

The anxiety arising from her dreams gives way to her amusement that, a few hours after he completely spent himself in her, he's once again at full mast. She slowly moves the cannon of her hind leg up and rubs it against his underside, pressing it toward his belly.

It’s been more than a few hours. Judging by the light it’s mid morning or near it, well past the time Amber would normally wake up. Then again, it’s not that much different than the situation the morning before. Amber Sunset feels drowsy, and generally not well rested. Asper Spring remains a maiden, and most importantly, in a different town.

As Amber rubs him, he twitches. There’s some resistance to being pushed to the belly, but she manages this, rubbing him against his fur.

She needs to get up, but clearly Mustard has his own needs, and who can better satisfy them than herself? She contentedly rests against him, her hind leg moving up and down his shaft repeatedly. The hoof of her foreleg creeps downward along his chest until it reaches the underside of his tip, which her frog slowly rubs.

It occurs to her that her blanket and sheets will need serious cleaning after this, but she crossed that bridge when she lost control the first time.

The sheets are most definitely in a very bad state.

There’s a little bit of heavier breathing from Mustard, who closes his mouth. He appears to still be asleep. For every push down, his flesh pushes back up. When she lets go or moves back, there is some bounce. He twitches again.

He smiles and moves towards her from behind. He walks up by her right side, and then places a foreleg over her back. But he doesn’t stop there. Rather, he moves his hoof forward, trying to find her shoulders, or some place of support. Then he moves up the other leg, until he is almost standing on her.

"Don't worry, we could do it the other way first and you can wash me first!" She drops down then lifts her hind legs so they're under the shower head, and she's standing with her head downward. "This is the only way we can bathe together." There's one thing he can be sure of: necessity breeds creativity.

Amber gets out of the shower and lies down next to him, her head in his lap–or, at least as much as she can accomplish with his projection in the way. "You can tell me if you want, or don't if you don't want to. I just thought you might like it, it's…intimate."

He smiles, briefly closing his eyes for the moment of the kiss. He has a wide, awkward smile.

“Yeah, heheh. I’ll wash with you when we get to a bigger shower. Or maybe in a lake or something.”

He continues smiling in that way, knowing he’s made a wrong move, but not really able to get out of it.

Perhaps Amber laments her poor vetting that led her to this stallion. Perhaps she takes solace in the knowledge that stallions, like all things, are replaceable.

Mustard Trim takes a moment, moving his muzzle so close to her, she can feel his breath on her exposed genitals. After many seconds of this, he moves slightly to her right side, and rubs his coat against hers for much of the length of his body. Then he moves a foreleg across her back, gains a grip, moves his other foreleg on her, and soon, stands up on her back.

Amber can feel him pressing against her genitals, and slowly parting her lips.

Mustard can see her labia twitch in response to his breath. Her smell is a…mix of things, sweat, the remnants of her arousal, and the seed that he injected inside her and which has also plastered onto her rump. The smell of him making her his is energizing, but certainly not suitable for social engagements.

Amber has to will herself not to tremble as he pokes her, since she cannot let him fall. Mustard mounting her feels peculiar, despite it being the most natural position, because she cannot see his face as they copulate, but she doesn't object.

His phallus misses the first time he pokes her, going too low. Perhaps it wasn’t firm enough. But it bounces against her lower lip, then moves against her skin snd goes as far as her tests. He moves against her lips with the second attempt, and this one strikes her. He pushes in, penetrating her. She doesn’t see his face, nor feel much of him besides his hoof and what is now in her, but he is very much there.

She grunts as he enters her. Her vagina is a little sore, especially without natural lubricant, but it's still sensitive and tingles of pleasure jump up her spine as she's penetrated. Something about this position, how Mustard is in a position of relative control while being supported by her, is especially arousing.

Mustard is in control, no doubt about that. He doesn’t, if perhaps can’t, move all the way in her in the first thrust. He simply moves aside her labia in the first movement, then goes an inch in the second time, abs a little more the next, rubbing against her slowly. He doesn’t wait for her to moisten for him, but he does give her time catch up. He gradually pushes in deeper, and deeper, until his medial ring is between her lips.

Amber is appreciative of him thrusting into her slowly and incrementally, even if she hasn't moistened fully. The ridge along his tip still feels wonderful as it pushes along her walls, ever deeper. She widens the stance of her rear legs outward and carefully, so as not to upset his balance, bends her front legs until her torso is angled to the floor. This makes his member bend downward as he pushes in, and every thrust can brush against her sensitive clitoris.

His medial ring brushes against her clitoris with each movement. He changes the position of his legs to stand even further along Amber’s back. This lets him get closer, and deeper. His hind legs make contact against her rump, and his belly against the base of her tail. Now even his medial ring, at the end of the thrust, moves in her.

“Ah”
He stays mostly silent. Mostly. A few sounds escape his lips.

This position, for all the lack of personal closeness that a mating press has or the control Amber had in a cowgirl position, seems to be what they are biologically designed for. Unlike with the others, his sensitive underside meets its counterpart the clitoris with every movement, and it feels like he could maximize his depth like this.

Amber moans softly and twists her neck as her sensitive little nub gets touched, and her love canal becomes a little more moist which eases the soreness. She swings her tail up to hit his side as his stifle pushes up against her rump.

Amber tries using her muscles to maximize their pleasure, pushing in on his penis as he drags it out and relaxing as he ruts back inside. Her gasps become quicker and more pleasured as he moves faster, the sensations of her clitoris making it difficult to think about anything but their mating. The close contact of their bodies heightens her arousal and she pulls her head up close to his. She imagines them outside of civilization entirely, the wild stallion Mustard Trim ravishing her, rutting her senseless and making her his. She will bear enough of his foals to make a whole herd.

Mustard can feel her, and perhaps himself, become a little more moist to aid their lovemaking further. The sounds of their rhythmic movement become more apparent. He may also notice that Amber's rump serves as a good cushion to rut into from this angle.

Amber's marehood is delightfully warm and slick for his member, and her muscled plot firm yet with a good amount of give, so he has indeed found a naturally pleasurable place to hilt into.

Her gasps come in staccato and reach a crescendo. "Y-yes!" she groans, just before letting loose a pleasured squeal. Mustard can feel her clitoris and labia spasm, experience her walls becoming fully wet and slippery, and hear the pat pat pat of her marecum drip onto the floor. She grabs onto him tightly but forces herself to release him, intent on not making him cum just yet. Instead, she shoves her rear back into him pulls forward slightly, and pushes back again, all the while her tail is stretched at a seemingly uncomfortable angle.

She also stretches her forelegs in front of her to maximize her downward angle, letting him plunge down right to the entrance of her waiting womb.

Amber looks up to see his muzzle high above her. His mouth is closed, and he looks up towards the wall and ceiling. He moves his hooves lower, and lower down her back, so that he is even higher over her. With this, he is thrust deeper inside of her, abd he makes shorter movements.

Amber's groans become more erratic, and she feels lightheaded as the sheer amount of pleasure becomes almost too much even for her. Just as with the night before, conjugal romance gives way to primal instinct as she is fiercely bred. Still, she does not faint, and her hooves remain planted to the ground, even as his medial ring pushes past her sensitive entrance. Deep inside, she can feel his tip kissing her cervix just before his testes slap against her clitoris. Despite his flare scraping fluid out, she keeps herself very wet, and that intoxicating musky scent fills the room.

He presses down into her back. Then he moves further back, and his hoof slips slightly. He recovers quickly, but this causes noticeable pain to Amber. All the while he thrusts deeper, deeper, and his flare rubs and presses against her vaginal walls as he moves in and out, in and out, in and out.

He snorts, then he whinnies as the pace becomes faster and faster. He almost vibrates inside of her. Then he nearly jumps back, placing his foreles almost ontop of her rump, and presses himself as far inside of her as he can go in a painful thrust to Amber,

"I love you..."
The words slip out of his mouth in a whisper, and not a beat later a stream of fluid slips out of him with a slight twitch and interruption in two streams. He stands like that for several seconds, before relaxing and falling down to where he is not so deep inside of her and is close to her back

Carried away by sheer physical pleasure as well as the lust to receive her one-and-only coltfriend's and future husband, she imagines seed, she shows little to no reaction to the pain, perhaps an ear twitch.

She whinnies in turn, a feminine, higher-pitched sound that somewhat resembles her earlier squeals, as his pace rises to a fever pitch. He can feel her plot shake as he throws himself against it, faster and faster.

The mare is too dazed to respond verbally to his words except with heavy pants. Finally he manages to push her cervical barrier wide enough apart for his urethra to ejaculate yet deeper inside of her. His scrotum and her clitoris twitch against each other, as if engaged in a carnal high-five over successful collaboration. She lets her vagina clench in on him like a rolling mill as he pulls himself partway out, squeezing out every last drop.

She doesn't change her stance for quite some time. His mate still shakes underneath him and has an unfocused gaze at the wall of the room, all while still panting heavily, though slower than before.

Though neither of them can see or feel it, deep inside Amber Mustard's motile sperm are making the epic trek up her fallopian tubes. It is a headlong race, as only the most of them will sire the next generation and establish a mark on the world. The lead cell finally makes it to its generation, only to be met by a makeshift sign:

"Eggs on vacation. Cum back in spring."

Amber realizes the urgency in getting ready and quickly washes herself with the shower's cold water. Her upper body has fortunately remained mostly clean, but it's a difficult exercise-particularly with her soreness- to clean the bodily secretions off her tail, rump, hind legs and outer vagina. But eventually she manages to make it so a casual observer couldn't easily tell what activity she has been up to, and steps out of the shower. She swiftly brushes her teeth and gets out, letting Mustard have his turn.

Perhaps Amber is fortunate that her body is not conspiring against her, sending her into an early cycle after after arrival in the city. Or perhaps she is unlucky, as such a circumstance would have been the easiest way to check "get a husband" off the list. The poor sperm have at least gotten further than so many that have come before out of Mustard Trim.

Mustard is only barely returning to the room when Amber comes out. "I had to go make a phone call" is his explanation as he walks past, into the bathroom. He spends some seconds checking his mane and tail for any unwanted spills, and gets in the shower. There is a startled "Ah!" at the cold water. Again, he spends much less time in the shower than Amber did, and seems to have only washed the parts of his coat that were dirtied.

He smiles, but proceeds along ahead of her. The two go down the stairs into the common area, then out the front door. Presumably, they hail a taxi, and ride to Summervale Street.

Mustard Trim explains
"She knows that I left with you yesterday, and that you will be here today. I told her you agreed to be my girlfriend. She doesn't know and cannot know that I stayed at your apartment. She thinks I stayed at a friend's house last night, and then went by to pick you up. My sister will be there as well."

Amber still quite can't get over how similar Mustard and his sister are in coloration to herself. It's not quite identical, and their proportions are different, but a complete stranger would generally assume Amber to be Mustard's youngest sister. Fortunately that's not at all the case, considering what they did last night.

She is surprised to see the mare wearing makeup. It's not the first time seeing a pony wear makeup of course; she had seen highfalutin wealthy ponies prance around with it on, and her own mother wore it for special occasions like the Summer Sun Celebration, but to see an ordinary pony wear it on an ordinary Sunday strikes her as odd.

Behind the mare is a small bay with something like a couch, then against the far wall just a little to the right is a stand with candles, flowers, a framed letter, and a small photo of an evidently dark red filly under a large framed black and white photo of a light colored stallion, and a large framed photo of a mid-reddish colt. To the right of that is couch with a framed photo of a family of six, and to the right of that is a radio in a wooden box. Near the end of the house is a small table with a window behind it, and an entry to what must be the kitchen, which is behind the stairway.

Amber sees a maroon colored mare walk out of the kitchen, wearing a long black dress, and a black bonnet with a yellow flower in it. It's the same mare she saw the day before. Her eyes look very tired, and she wears a forced smile. Mustard Trim walks out behind her, with that kicked-dog expression and a low hanging head and tail.

The maroon mare approaches, and has a sort of jovial tone
"Hello! You must be Mustard's new girlfriend."

Amber forgets her own predicament momentarily as she instantly recognizes the shrine, and her heart aches for this poor family. Poor in that regard, though, because their standard of living is comfortably middle-class.

She doesn't have long to reflect either on the War or on their economic status as she must focus on a crucial first impression.

Amber responds with a less-forced smile, though it becomes just that as she notices Mustard's condition. The poor colt must be harangued pretty constantly.

"Good morning, ma'am!" she replies, as it occurs to her she either never asked his mother's name, or had forgotten. "My name is Amber Sunset, and it's a pleasure to meet you this fine day," she continues with some natural cheer.

The mare's eyes are slightly blackened and she may have been crying some hours before, but there is something genuine in her happiness in seeing Amber

"We met yesterday when you came by to pick up my son"

"D'awww. Look at you! You look so sweet!"
She looks over to Mustard Trim, who has caught up to her, and is standing next to her. She places her hoof on his cheek

"My little mustard seed finally has his first girlfriend"
Mustard Trim gives a smile (an improvement from his previous state), even if it's of embarrassment.

I really like having the Daylight Dahlia character as a minor villain for Amber to have to deal with. She's doing something as basic and mundane as going to church with her boyfriend, and she has to be adversarial and protect her boyfriend and a different also-antagonistic character from this struggling single mother - I love it. I overdid the derisive comments though, as it's a little too much. I know that in something like a movie or a TV show the actions would also be exaggerated like this in order to get the point across in a short amount of time, but still, I lament the loss of nuance

Honestly, I've never played the vanilla version of HOI4, although I'll admit that having an alternate history with a successful Christeros rebellion and Tsar Mikhail Romanov sounds pretty awesome

Saint Eligius is further North

Since arriving at his house, Mustard Trim has been almost like a stranger, having almost no interaction with Amber, and certainly less than his mother has had with either he or Amber. But the smile he returns to Amber makes it clear he doesn't really want to be a stranger. He wears a black vest that he must have put on while inside.

Daylight Dahlia trots quickly, ahead of the group. She clearly understands that they are indeed late. Evidently she doesn't have a preferred spot, at least not one that is still available, because she stops, looks around, and finds a row. Asking an older couple to stand in order to get into the row, she goes in, then Veneer, then Mustard Trim, and then Amber at the very end.

There is music, including flute playing. It's an old tune from earlier Equestria that Amber is certainly familiar with.

Sadly, her cutie mark is not in singing... it kind of shows

A beige mare with an orange coat rises up to tell the lesson.
She starts off wishing well to all, and tells a story of a town in the Unicorn mountains that was cut off from the outside world by a winter storm and a series of avalanches that closed the passes. This was maybe twenty years ago, in the before times, but after certain things were expected, like lamp oil or medicine. Though there stocks of many things, like most foods, but not everything.

For the first week or so, most ponies went along like normal, because they did not expect any real meaningful disruption. Some thought that because the town was closed off, it was cause to abdicate their responsibilities, like foals not going to school, or ponies not going to work. Then after a week, the first message came through tied to the leg of a bird: efforts at clearing the pass had failed spectacularly. There would be no clearing of the pass until spring. There would be no other messages, no going in and out, and no new shipments of supplies.

The town was devastated by the news. The town called a meeting at the hall. The ponies in the lead made suggestions of how to proceed, saying that goods should be rationed and certain services should be closed. Many, however, protested, because of how it would affect their business, or because they were afraid they wouldn't get enough, or would have to share. There was more. Some ponies were not even from the town, they were just passing through and were stuck there. Some ponies who lived in the town were stuck outside of it. And many ponies had loved ones outside of the town who they could not speak to. The inn keeper was left with visitors he had to keep, while he could not make money off of new visitors, and the same to the owner of a restaurant on the mountain.

Panic and ennui began to set in. A shop keeper secreted away all of her supplies of salt, a few stores were broken into, and even the police deputies sometimes didn't show up to work, wondering what exactly they were doing when pay could no be guaranteed. Foals did not go to school, nor were they expected to. Even the mayor was found to be hoarding biscuits.

After about a month, there was a change. Ponies started to realize that the scarce resources of the town could only be managed cooperatively. Hoards of resources secreted away were offered in common, and budgeted, while ponies made an effort to discourage secreting goods away. One of the town's few farmers, with a load of apricots that could not be taken off to market and sold, instead offered to provide his crop, and it was eaten as food in group gatherings.

Likewise, ponies began to realize that their daily activities had as much meaning when done only with the presence of the townsfolk, as when they were part of a larger nation. Not that they necessarily always received money for it, but money didn't have as much value now anyways. The sheriff's deputies realized they were needed for order, the restaurant on the mountain gave out apricot-based meals with its scenic view. The foals and teachers returned to their lessons, at least once a ration of heating oil was figured out. Those who were trapped in the town accepted their situation, and tried to help out, and enjoy the town. Those with loved ones outside of the town they could not talk to simply understood that they still cared for them, and hoped they were cared for in kind. When the snow in the pass finally melted months later, there was relief in the town, but the outside world found a town very much together and in high spirits.

Yay, lore!

Amber's expression changes as she listens to the story. She looks slightly worried when hearing how they were completely cut off. When something bad happens and you're unable to get outside help, that's a real test of strength, but perhaps that's why this is being told.

Then when order starts to break down, she starts to grow more nervous. When ponies need each other, and they start acting more and more selfishly, then it's not just the case of a few bad apples spoiling the bunch, but a complete lack of trust that can only end badly.

But, fortunately, they changed their ways in time and struggled through it together. Isn't this what Harmony is about? she wonders. No matter if you're in a big community or a small one, doing what's right and using the talent of your cutie mark to work together will get you through any difficulty. It's a nice message.

But… she realizes, the Unicorn Mountains are in Changeling territory now. Are those poor ponies alright? Maybe it would have been better for them to stay sealed off…. The filly is left with a cold feeling. She looks around to see if other ponies have realized the same thing.

The beige mare concludes her story, and then starts talking about the modern world.

While the horrors in Manehattan were the focus of most of the past month, the last week or so has brought horrors much closer to home. A skirmish and fire on the waterfront killed twenty, and there were efforts to bring in arms that would have killed many more. A member of the trusted city government was found to have committed crimes to terrible to describe. A cult, or at least, something like it, seems to have existed right there in Baltimare, killing many.

But these horrors, terrible as they are, are but a continuation of an even greater series of horrors that have afflicted the Equestrian nation and the world over the past few years. The War killed many and severed the nation in half, and led to the loss of our Princesses, or Elements, and our Principality of a thousand years. The peace that has followed has not been a peace at all. Those on the eastern half have suffered an occupation, a low-grade civil war, the privations of war, and inflation. Those in the west have suffered even greater. For many, the war has not ended at all. Over a million of Equestria's sons remain in captivity. Few, if any payouts of pensions have been made to veterans and the families of veterans.

Daylight Dahliah, Veneer, and Mustard Trim all stand up during the discussion of POWs, as do several other families in the church.

The beige mare continues expressing great sympathy for those suffering, and mentions help the church gives. But with delicacy, she makes her next point. Equestria has been in continuing crisis since at least the return of Nightmare Moon, with the first Changeling invasion, the Storm King, Tirek and so forth. Much of the remainder of the world has been in crisis even longer. And Equestria has experienced crises in the past. The sufferings of the present - very real and perhaps greater in degree than any before - are not unique, nor are they of unprecedented quality. Many, like those in the town, have suffered before.

And then she gets to her point. The world, as a whole, is like that town, as our world is cut off from all others. Like the town, our world has scarce resources we are sometimes impelled to greedily horde, or fight over. Like the town, we are cut off from all contact with many of our loved ones. While this is most obvious in the case of family and friends of POWs and those who are cut off in foreign nations, it can apply to our loved ones who have passed on. Like the town, we have to wonder if what we do every day will receive any validation from any word other than our own, to justify that it was right and meaningful.

But, the mare explains, our world will find harmony in the same solutions. We must, like the town, realize that we will do no good with greed and war, but must share if we wish to preserve what we value. We must, like the town, accept that we are trapped on this world, and must find meaning and connections here. We must, like the town, come to terms with the fact that we may not soon speak again, or see again, those we love. We must instead take solace in the fact that we love and miss them, and that they love and miss them in kind. We must hold out hope we will meet again when we leave this world. And we must, like the town, accept that what we do might not immediately receive validation outside of this world, but instead realize that what we do matters to us, and it matters to those around us, so make sure we spend our time in productive and moral ways.

And so we learn that however bad things may be, we are all trapped here together. We may as well learn to live in Harmony.

She nods

Amber, in a way, is glad that she does not shy away from the terrible things that have come to Equestria. While Baltimare has seemed to Amber to be a place with riches, fun and adventure, she is reminded that there is darkness, violence, and corruption lurking just under the surface, and she should quit being too naïve.

Her ears fold down and her heart aches when she sees Mustard and his family stand during the talk about POWs. Although her own family hasn't been spared by the war, mercifully she doesn't know of any members captured by the changeling menace. In her mind it is far better to die than to be captured by the changelings, for although what changelings do exactly with their victims is still largely a mystery, urban legend and rumor have made it to be too horrendous to even think about. That this family must bear with the knowledge that such things could be happening to their loved ones even at this moment makes her want to weep, and a tear does grace her cheek.

Still, the point the church-mare makes is not lost on her. She, like everypony, must struggle on and care for those around her, not withdraw in nihilism and egoism. Things will get better. They must.

Daylight Dahlia turns to face Amber, forcing a smile. Unlike Veneer, she did not wear make up, nor make any special effort to look pretty. Just as well, as tears would have her make up run down her face. Though she looks tired and strained, she doesn’t look older than forty. Some of what remains of her natural beauty can be seen under her long black dress. Her black hat sits on her back, and her long brown mane flows down both sides of her neck.

She says to Amber,
“Normally, we would go back home for lunch.”

She makes a wider smile showing teeth.
“But as you are your guest, I suppose we can do something a bit different, if you like.”

In a "deleted scene" for Amber's paper chase questline, Dark Denizen talks to Amber about going home with stallions she meets at the club, and offers her a derringer pistol, for if or when she decides "no," and a roll of condoms for if or when decides "yes."

She looks at Amber for several moments, and leans against the counter.

There's a number of patterns of intersecting lines along the back that could only be guessed to be some kind of anti-counterfeiting measure.

"Keep the door open while you have a female over." Dahlia says to Mustard

Mustard says "Okay mom" and the two walk out of the kitchen, past the dining table, past the radio, the couch, and the portraits. They go over to the narrow wooden stairs and the railing, and to a small hallway at the top. There are two doors on that side of the hallway, and he opens one, going inside

The wall is blue and there is a window at the far side. There are two beds - small double beds - in the room, one of which is disrupted, and the other has his jacket and a couple other items of clothing on it. There are papers strewn on a dresser, and a text book open, while there are books sitting on a different dresser. There are multiple sets of toys on the floor, including a couple boxes and something like a Ferris wheel and a bridge? Or something. There is a lamp on one table, two photographs of colts, and a set of boxes against one wall. There is a poster of an "artistic depiction" of Princess Cadence beating back the Changelings in the First Battle of Canterlot on the wall.

The text book is a science text book. Specifically it is chemistry. Of the other books are a math text book, and several novels. Love stories and historical fiction. Probably required reading for school but it's kind of hard to tell.

The poster is Cadence in the fore (viewing from behind), standing in a room by a window with Shining Armor a little further away, and looking out at the Changeling Army which is in the middle of being repelled by a shock wave. There's a decent amount of violence and appreciation for the female form in the image.

There are two photographs. One, of a young skinny light colored colt. The other is an older reddish colored colt with a stronger build.

Appreciation as in "anatomically correct"? Even if that's the case, it's not what Amber would have taken away from it, rather the married couple protecting their land bitterly. Romantic and noble, though ultimately tragic in history.

What are Hitch and Sprout doing from G5?
Amber noticed with a sad gaze that this was Mustard's older brother who went off to war. She hopes he is not the POW in the family.

"School?" she responds skeptically. She picks up the one with the mushiest title and opens it mid-way to read a passage.

Well, the poster is not anatomically correct, nor would such details be much visible in the image even if present. This is, after all, a poster that Dahlia hasn’t torn down. But Princess Cadence’s shape is understood and appreciated by the artist. Shining armor is present in the lower left of the image, though he is a few feet separate from her. It should be noted that Cadence stares at the Changelings, and presumably specifically Chrysalis, while Shining Armor’s head is turned looking at Cadence.

The colt in the image looks to be about the age that Mustard Trim is now, maybe slightly younger.

Passage:
> They agreed that Mrs. Bonnet should only hear of the departure of the family, without being alarmed on the score of the gentlecolt’s conduct; but even this partial communication gave her a great deal of con- cern, and she bewailed it as exceedingly unlucky that the mares should happen to go away just as they were all getting so intimate together. After lamenting it, however, at some length, she had the consolation that Mr. Bringer would be soon down again and soon dining at Longbum, and the conclusion of all was the comfortable declaration, that though he had been invited only to a family dinner, she would take care to have two full courses.

Her eyes focus on the letter, pupils zooming in. Her mouth closes as she looks intently at it. She takes maybe two or three seconds, then her ears perk all the way up, her mouth opens up and lips are pulled back far, her pupils become so wide they are almost circular, and her wings spread out until they are extended all of the way.

In slow motion, Dark Star can see all of this happen, and she jumps up, pushing with her hind legs, abs pounces on Dark Star, very possibly knocking him down. She wraps her forelegs around him very tightly.

She makes an unnatural “EEEEEEEEEEEEE” sound that’s kind of uncomfortable at that distance.

Then she kisses him. She misses his lips, but it does seem like that was her intent, however poorly executed.

Her wings feel odd. It's a flap of skin with short hairs on it, feeling almost like velvet. At least it's soft.

When Solar Night hugs her, she presses into him with more strength, and seems to enjoy the contact, as she does not break off until she has to.
