White Orchid doesn't quite have time to register the "son" remark, as he pulls away

Just as well, as two creatures - a zebra stallion and a brown stallion, get out of doors on the front and back

He did... I'm thinking if he should be considered to have spent it all. We can say for these purposes he has at least a few hundred bits on him

"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.

She looks at the text book, what other books he has on the dresser, examines the poster, and finally stares at the photographs. "Your brother?" she asks at the end, in a low voice as if afraid she might set something off.

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.

For a moment, Mustard Trim looks at the open door. Instead, he moves closer to Amber and whispers into her ear
"Yes."

>>155527
He pauses for a moment
"Sure"

She nods knowingly. This may be an uncomfortable topic for him, so she'll let him open up about it at his own pace. For now, she fixates on something a bit more lighthearted.

"You read romance novels?" she asks with a mischievous smile.

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.

He smiles awkwardly, and his ears come down

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.

Amber reads the passage, aloud, in a mock Canterlot accent, evidently enjoying the fact that Mustard is reading such stories, even if it's because he's forced to.

"Jim Haykins University is committed to diversity and to including historically excluded groups into Equestria's future. We do recognize that many creatures, particularly those from underprivileged backgrounds, have had their applications delayed because of the revolt last semester, and the siege of the city a year before that. We are well behind of what would have been the State required quotas under the Twilight administration, and a dream deferred is a dream denied. I suppose there may be room in the current class."
