He holds one of her forehooves, feeling the differences between her cloven hooves and his own.
"I could very easily see future where we are together, happy and enjoying our lives. I provide, you care, and all around us are happy fillies and colts resulting from our pairing."

She does not look at, or even acknowledge Dark Star. She goes directly for the bottle, trying to pull it out of Sorrel’s grasp. There are a couple shouts of “mine!” and “give me!” as the two start to fight over the bottle.

Sorrel takes a drink abc tries to down most most of it, which is not possible for her even under ideal circumstances. She coughs and spits some out, while Trick takes it. But Sorrel dives in to take it back. Some spills out on the floor, as the two mares wrestle back and forth over the whiskey.

Look at what happened because of what you did. What it lead to. There are riots out there. Two bar mares are in half-sober condition. And you’re laughing. You’re laughing. Some whiskey was spilled tonight because of what you did.
Sorrel and Tricky pulls the bottle back and forth, spilling some of the whiskey on the ground and on Sorrel’s chest, especially as the latter pulls it towards herself.

It's still an odd feeling, as there are two distinct bones in her hooves. He can even move one separately from the other. Her hooves have clearly been cut and polished.
She has her toothy smile, showing her small fangs. Her eyes go down, and seem to focus on the touching hooves, then go back up to meet Silver's
"I'll... thank you, I'll see."

He smiles wide and beaming, showing off his own fangless teeth. They look to be in good condition, at least.
"I know it is still very early for marriage, but I could promise that you and any of our foals together would be well taken care of and provided for for long time to come. All of wealth and influence I get from my work would be yours as well to use as you wish, and you would be able to command position of respect not just in our household but maybe even in this corner of Equestria, if I work hard enough."
He plans a kiss on the underside of her hoof, right between her two toes.
"I love you, Khoi."

Finally, the conflict ends with Sorrel as the victor. Tricky looses her grip as Sorrel holds it tight, close to her chest. Tricky realizes she won’t be able to pry it from Sorrel’s grasp, and gives up. Sorrel, finally secure, lays down on her belly on the floor, with the bottle in front of her. She sucks on the opening, almost like a sipping cup.
Defeated, Tricky hangs her head, and walks away. But then she looks over to Dark Night, and slowly walks up to him with a pouting expression.

"Well, be honest with me, one of things you desire in life is respect and status, yes? I was not entirely joking when I asked if you wished to be noblemare. It is possible for us to join those ranks as I acquire wealth and status."

"Depending on who gives me work, each one would come with amount of respect and prestige as well as what jobs pay. Perhaps it would result in higher pay, perhaps it would result in perks and gifts. It is not too far from how lords would reward loyal lieges with land and titles for advancing their lord's banner. And, if we were married in future, these would pass onto you as well."

"Perhaps they could give empty manor house over to me as reward for great job done with fine plot of land to go with it and enough room for large family, or we could be invited to dinners, balls, and galas with Equestria's elite. You could have ponies wait on your every need and speak to you as if you were Benevolent Empress of Equestria. Our foals could become Equestria's next generation of leaders when they grow up, and with strong moral teachings of their parents could go on to make this land better than it ever has before."

He gives her a mischevious, almost sinisterly sultry look.
"And, you know...I am curious to see what beautiful unicorn-kirin foals we could *make* together..."
In her vulnerable distracted state he gives the bottom of her hoof another kiss. A long, slow kiss with an audible noise. Perhaps even with just the tiniest bit of tongue action where her toes meet, though it's hard for Khoi to exactly tell if he does so or not.

After a second, Silver looks up, and smiles again at her with a chuckle.
"Heheh, sorry, I wanted to see your reaction."
He returns to just regular, unassuming hoofholding.
"But it is true, Khoi, I would provide for our family."

Helm replies,
"Yes, it's certainly unlike anything else. That's precisely why it's so valuable. Why it must be preserved.
Mason has not spoken to Amber even once, and has only said a few words like "Yes," "Over there" and a few small words exchanged with Helm while the bookshelf was moved. Now, he moves forward, closer to Amber with a wide grin.
"What are you so afraid of?" He asks

Amber responds, "I am not a superstitious creature, but that," she points to the statue, "has all the markings of something holding sinister energy in itself. Whoever you have pawned this off to will be bringing something terrible on himself."

If Amber cared to take a closer look at the statue, she’d see that the worms comprising the griffin-form are not maggots - they are much too long, and lack the ridged texture. Nor are they earthworms. With their smooth texture, long bodies, and detailed sucker-heads, they more closely resemble parasitic intestinal roundworms, or deep-sea detritivorous eels, or something else entirely; something more alien. Whether this incongruity with the creatures if common experience represents a failure on the part of the artist to accurately represent what he intended, or whether the artist had other sources of inspiration, Amber cannot tell.
Mason:
“Heh heh. No no, the new owner has been selected lovingly and carefully. Just as you wouldn’t give a beloved pet to an uncaring home when you must part, neither do we give the history of griffinkind away to those who do not understand and appreciate it. The new owner is an avid historian and collector of antiquities. And importantly, this statue will find its home among ponies, who though they may be ignorant of much, do not carry the superstitions so prevalent here.”

"Don't they?" Amber questions. "The ponies have a healthy fear of dark magic, and untold numbers of artifacts considered too dangerous for the public are secreted away in Canterlot behind guards and the strongest magical protection. Just because they don't know about this, doesn't mean they wouldn't also hide it if given the opportunity."

The two by fours serve as handles. The first task is the raise the statue up to allow a piece of plywood to be placed underneath it.
Just what, precisely, is so off about this statue is difficult to articulate. Surely it’s something beyond its appearance, and beyond the eire context and room. But there is no doubt that some indescribable, perhaps instinctive revulsion against this artifice is present, and difficult to ignore.

For a moment, Amber feels almost dazed and confused, with her view slowly distorting, and sounds that surely come from only feet in front of her sounding like distant echoes. It is as if she is leaving her? body and pulling away. There may be a concern that the room is poisoned with carbon monoxide, or that some unusual fungal spore is having a hallucinogenic effect. Fortunately, there is no issue with balance, a quality absolutely critical to carrying the heavy piece out of its special room, and into the primary of the two secret rooms upstairs.
The stairs present a special problem, as the statue is unstable as it is, perched atop a sheet of plywood and two by fours. Tilting the statue too far back could risk it falling backwards. So it must be held high from the back and low from the front as it is taken up the stairs. Helm helps Amber carry it in the back, while Mason leads the front. Finally, it is taken into the other room.

There were number of Griffonian and Feathesian nationals among those who were captured by us and they seemed impressed by work we did, so I could accept more work from them, build relations with my contacts within them, and quickly get them to stamp out immigration approvals for your parents, or anyone else in your family you want brought over."
The unicorn tilts his head at his kirin date.

She is almost standing up on the table now, with her hooves on the table directly under her.
“And I could be a citizen? And my children. Not just resident. Full citizen?”

Silver stabilizes the table to keep it from potentially tipping over, but otherwise is acceptive of this enthusiastic behavior from Khoi.
"That can be done, yes. You may have to take test on Equestrian government and like, though I do not know how citizenship test would have changed through occupation. But yes, you could be full Equestrian citizen, just as with your or our foals."

She finally sits back, although it seems her tail is moving back and forth.
“What is this about a bigger home?”

Khoi is still too cute to be this single.
"You remember when we were talking about my work? I could work towards getting bigger house, either buying it or having it as gift or payment for job well done. Depending on where it is located it could even be manor house sitting on sizable plot of land on outskirts of city, maybe large enough for small farm or orchird."

“Yes.”
She has a big, bright smile.
“Orchard? Where? And… how much do you get from these jobs, exactly?”
“Yes.”

"I do not know exactly where, but for Baltimare I have noticed numerous large and rather opulent-looking farms on outskirts of city. It may be nearby there."
He pauses as he ponders the second question.
"It varies depending on how much effort and danger is involved, if there is any loot that can be fenced, or who is giving job, but I can easily earn over month's wages just from one job."

“And…” she tilts her head. Her tail is unambiguously wagging.
“How often do you get these assignments? How long do they last? Where are they, usually?”

>>160591
"There is usually always someone whenever I look, there are lots of groups and organizations that are in need of skills such as mine. How long and where also usually depends on who gives assignment. Civilian government of Baltimare will be unlikely to have job that lasts more than day or two or that sends me out very far from city, while occupation government would be more likely to do so, with greater rewards for having been sent out longer and farther."

She nods.
“So…. What kind of work do they make you do?” She asks
“I… saw the one. But I would not have believed it if I was not there.”
She nods.

"It is not always that violent. Sometimes it is more covert, other times it is retrieval missions, escort missions, or like. Before Hoebuck, one such mission was to retrieve collection of rare and one-of-kind books, and got paid very handsomely for it."

Silver nods, and continues to beam his smile at her.
"It was lot of books, but yes. 3,000 Bits. You should have seen what I got for clearing out undead, it is what I have largely been using to support us. All of those gifts of Bits to you and other refugees of Hoebuck came out of what I got from that job."
Silver nods, and continues to beam his smile at her.

“Is there… what jobs are coming up?” She asks

"Hmm, well I have few ideas at least as to what I could do, but nothing concrete. All I need to do is contact my contacts and see what needs done."

She has a wide smile, staring at Silver
The unicorn comes, and sets the soup in front of Khoi.
Silver receives some of his steamed vegetables.

And so, silver takes them. They do not taste good. At all.
Khoi starts to eat her soup, using her magic and a wooden spoon.

"Mmm..."
This is a nice, nutritious dinner. The unicorn enjoys it very much so, judging from the happy noises coming from him and how his floof fluffs up slightly.

"How is your food? Mine is pretty good."

With most of the vegetables presumably already eaten, most of the mixing will have to occur in Silver’s stomach. Still, what remains of the vegetables are mixed in, providing a change of texture to the noodle dish.

The unicorn smiles, and starts to consume his own meal. He enjoys the nice interplay of flavors of the noodles and the vegetables, and though he eats at a steady pace he makes sure to be neat and polite for their date.

"Huh...it is very noble goal, it is just that most Equestrians who choose that path mean something slightly different, so that is where confusion comes from."

"It means pursuing purity of heart and soul. Doing good onto others without expecting anything in return, reading and studying old lessons and proverbs to learn moral way to live your life, teaching others those same lessons, leading herds of ponies to Salvation, and guiding those who have lost their way back to Path. It also means maintaining purity of body, in more physical sense, by giving up land, titles, vices, worldly possessions, even sex and marriage. Though, that is more for monks and nuns, Brothers and Sisters of Faith rather than normal followers or even other religious positions like that of priests."

“Um… sure.”

“He”
She lowers her head closer to her shoulders, and picks up the glass of water, taking a drink. She turns her head to the left as she does so, but turns her magenta eye to Silver, with a toothy, embarrassed smile.
“I had to learn from other mares, and as a hair dresser. That was my job for a while, after all…”
