With a smile, he replies "When things calm down."
Alright, now the two can part on a good note. He waves goodbye at his friend before slipping it into first, and with his share of the loot (which, if I'm counting right and the others agree, is 353 Bits, ammunition for his shotgun and revolver, ~4 gold coins, the telescope, and maybe the potions) goes to fulfill the other things on his list: namely to get groceries, candy for the colts, make preparations for his date, and maybe see if there's a store that sells items to help Clip achieve sexual relief.

Both mares are surprised, and Sorrel grabs onto his right foreleg, leaning over with wide eyes and a mouth open in a smile

The bits should be more. Much more. About 830. The rest is most accurate.
Silver is in a position where he is either going to have to significantly postpone, cancel, or blow off his date, as he has very little time for much else.

Well, it would have been without the 500 payed to fix his injuries, but Silver wouldn't argue against more Bits.
Hmm...if he cut it down to just making date preparations, getting candy, and some alcohol, would he have time?

They enter through a threshold, into a large, wooden themed room. In some ways it isn't terribly different from the one Amber was in earlier, with a fireplace on one end, wooden floors, upholstered furniture, and book shelves. It is, however, even larger, and though it too has many windows, the angle of the sunlight and preponderance of walls lined with rows of books leaves the room in relatively dim light. On the walls are portrait paintings of griffins in armor, a suit of armor on the opposite side of the rectangular room away from the fireplace, and so many rolls of books. There are many griffins there, including several in dress vests and several female griffins, though most seem paired to some other male griffin. Two griffins stand out - an old griffin in green dress, standing and with a glass of presumably some hard alcohol in claw, and near him, an even older, fatter griffin in full black formal wear, still wearing his top hat.

A noble house, perhaps. Best to wait for Helder to introduce Amber to these fine folk. A mere musician cannot simply go up to them and talk casually, after all. Isn't that how it works?

Ah, but Amber does know who these two griffins are. The gentlegriff in the green is Monteirter Helm, owner of the home, and a member of their social group. The griffin sitting down in the white chair with green floral pattern is a professor Emeritus from the Rectorate, a griffin by the name of Weit Grünerhügel. Amber doesn't know him well. Still another griffin, standing on the other side of Weit, is a much younger griffin in a striped vest and a bowler hat, whom Amber knows to be named Mason.

"To be resolute means not to cower in the face of history's caprice. Great creatures are not driven by history, they drive history themselves, and although we cannot all be great creatures they are models to follow.

“Now tell me… how much do you care for… ‘deeper truths’.”

Amber raises an eyebrow, or the griffon equivalent of that.
"I care quite a bit, which is why I'm a musician. A symphony can convey as much as a thousand-page tome, and much more eloquently for it. Music speaks far better than words."

"Words are ponderous and have to filter their way through one's eyes and then the brain before one can think about them. Music reaches the soul directly, it has a power underestimated by many, yet because of its tendency towards beauty it has been cynically used by only a few."

“Good. Then if seems like you’ve reached a conclusion it took the philosophers centuries to understand. All that our consciousness receives is experience, pure and simple. Reason, logic, words, forms - all are inventions of our reason, forced onto that which they are unlike. Mere symbols. And our perception? Representations, but not the thing itself.”
He smiles, still somewhat malignly.
“Do you want to continue, or shall I?”

"Well, as we've both come to understand, words cannot convey truly new information themselves. Rather, our reason distills a portion of our experience, and matches to that experience a symbol, a word. And that word is conveyed to another, who, with luck, has experienced something similar, and has matched hopefully the same word to a similar enough portion of his experience.
The logical conclusion is that I cannot tell you what is 'true', I can merely tell you my interpretation of my experience, and hope that my symbolic representation of that interpretation allows you to distill your own experiences a bit better.
You will not believe me unless you already know what I am saying to be true. I hope that you have enough experience in such matters that you will, if not believe me, at least understand me.
So though I hate to waste your time with rhetorical questions, they are asked for a reason. So I shall ask: all of those arias and orchestras. Sound, generally. Are there not those who cannot hear sound at all?"

"That's alright. All you really need to understand is that The physicists have come to the conclusion that the world as it really is, is not as it appears to us.
But really, why would the scientists have the best answers. Everything they know is based off of the five senses of perception. But you know just as well as I that our senses do not tell us the full story. We cannot see nor hear everything there is to see. Did you know that Changelings can smell magic, and see emotions? There could be entire realms of form and matter that are invisible to us, as we could never experience it. All of this could be unknown to the physicist."

Sorrel jumps up and off of Dark Star, looking over fur a glass of alcohol. Tricky grabs her glass, and takes another drink.
“You help ponies?” Tricky asks

“Well…” she looks down, but places both hooves on Dark Star’s shoulders.
“My friend and I… could use a place to stay. At least for the night.”

>>159734
"Oh, thank you!"
Both mares lean in, and hug Dark Star. Tricky hugs around his neck, while Sorrel hugs around where his chest connects to his belly.

"The philosophers proposed this simple question. How can like know like? How can the dumb matter we see, ever give rise to anything like thought, experience, or emotion? The answer they came up with, after much consideration, was that the two are not so different after all. That both are made of the same fundamental substance. Something ideal, or spiritual, more akin to desire than to matter."

She spends a moment, clearly pondering the question. Sorrel resumes hugging onto Dark Star, placing her muzzle behind his neck, and wrapping her forelegs just under his legs around his chest. He can feel her (mostly) smooth fur against his.

Glistening Glass:
"Would you like to close out your tab?"
Sorrel is knocked off balance by this, almost falling to the ground, and taking a moment to orient herself.
Tricky turns and looks to Solar, before standing up.
"Very well."
Sorrel stands up, stumbling for a moment, before eventually coming to her four hooves and looking over to Dark Star.
"No, it... You smelled like wood."

The two ponies follow Solar Night, with Tricky moving up to him, and gently rubbing his coat. Sorrel lags a little behind. They move through the door into the second section of the tavern, then up the stairs, to the room, unlocking it, and...
It's a simple enough room, with wooden floors, a window and a bed
Tricky:
"Not super nice, but definitely a room."
Sorrel heads directly towards the bed.

She walks up to Solar Night, with her fire-yellow man flowing to either side, and her eyes lidded. She moves, and places her forelegs upon the armrest of the chair, leaning forward to Dark Star.

Sorrel lowers her head, placing it on the bed between her two outstretched forelegs, effectively burying it in the top sheet. Her hind quarters is comparatively raised as her hind legs are under her, and her tail is raised up, and wags side to side.

Dark Star can see the edge of her cutie mark, which is several rough, mostly black orbs. Her rump is more or less well formed, with Tricky being the more plump of the two mares. Her light orange tail is long and flows down almost to the floor. Her grey skinned vulva is rather thick, and a small pink clitoris briefly disappears within her body before pressing back out in a wink. Tricky turns her head to look back at Dark Star.
Sorrel blurts out:
"I want to be stuck..."
Tricky looks Dark Star in the eyes with her own, golden eyes, and with a smile says
"Just a lick, What are you so afraid of?"

"Alright." She says
Sorrel, however...
"Yay! Hehehe" She claps her hooves together.

Tricky moves back until she is by the bed. She scrunches. Sorrel seems to have fallen asleep in the 30 seconds since she last spoke.
Dark Star surely now knows how his ancestors felt, hunted by predators. He's escaped. But the danger has not fully passed, as both remain in the room, taking up position by the bed.

The restaurant is themed around the Kirin Empire, with walls painted with Kirin architecture {houses and temples), and most especially, plant life. There are also a few real plants inside the restaurant near the walls. Another key decorative feature is a few fish tanks, and perhaps even more noticeable, is a waterfall that is the height of the wall in one dining section on the first floor.
At the hostess stand is a Kirin - an actual Kirin - specifically an older green stallion.

Silver lets out a long whistle. For the Severyanan-Equestrian stallion this is a very fancy and exotic location. He hopes Khoi is impressed, even if it's of a different Kirin country. He approaches the kirin host.
