>>160042"Return the key to the room I usually stay in?"
>>160046"I got car while I was out today and you were at work."
>>160047"No. The key to the other room." He says
>>160048She blinks
"You got a car today?!"
She starts to slowly circle it, inspecting it
>>160049Silver nods to her.
"Unfortunately I was also shot earlier and bled in driver's seat on way to hospital. It is part of reason why White Orchid and Mint Marine are staying with us right now."
>>160049"Yea that can be easily done. one other thing. do you know of any place around here that sells waffles?"
>>160050Her eyes become very wide
“What?!?! You were shot?”
>>160051“Sure. There’s a diner a little on down the road.”
>>160052He Nods
"Alright. I'll head there after I get the blankets."
>>160052Silver nods.
"I have gotten better since. I was taking White Orchid out to have some lunch when three gangsters tried to foalnap him. Mala and I stopped them with help of old war friend."
>>160054She looks very surprised.
“Is that the two pony colts?” She asks.
>>160053Glistening Glass opens a drawer, looks around, and pulls out a key, which he gives to Dark Star.
>>160055"thanks a lot mr.glass, oh and what you think was going on up there wasn't going on up there."
>>160055Silver nods.
"White Orchid and Mint Marine. Two orphaned colts who were in danger where they were. That is why it took me so long to get home, I had to make sure they were safe."
>>160056He smiles
"Are you still with that mare?" He asks
>>160057She looks concerned.
"Is there a danger here?"
>>160058He shakes his head.
"I promise you there is not, I did not get shot just to have ourselves still be in danger. But that is something else, let us focus on date."
He smiles at her.
>>160059She tries to smile back.
“Uh, okay. Well… take me there.” She says
>>160060Hmm...well, just how bad does the driver seat look? Would it stain and ruin his suit, or could he use Dark Star's trench coat that he gave him to sit on?
>>160061It’s definitely dry by now, whatever is there
>>160062"Actually, I do not think car is so bad. We can use it."
He goes around, and opens the passenger-side door for his date.
>>160063She continues looking around at the car, at the seat, then at Silver. With her magic, she picks up the edge of her dress, and sits down in the passenger seat next to Silver. Then she looks around, and in the back seat.
>>160065Glistening Glass forms a wide, very wide grin.
“Right. Nothing happened.” His lips raise up, exposing some teeth in his smile.
>>160066"Legitimately. nothing did, although they did try."
>>160067“If she asks, I’ll be sure to tell her.” He replies, still smiling.
>>160064Silver closes the door for her, and goes around to the driver side to get in. He smiles at her once he's inside.
"It is not so bad, especially once blood gets cleaned out. I will go tomorrow to get that taken care of."
He starts the car, puts it into gear, and starts driving towards the restaurant.
>>160068He laughs and then sighs
"It hasn't even been 15 minutes yet. I couldn't have done anything in that length of time."
>>160070He blinks, and from under counter pulls out a container of Dark Star’s favorite apple whiskey, three shot glasses, and a roll with four condoms.
“I’ll add the whiskey to your tab, these are free, and return the glasses to me later. You can keep it in the extra room until you come back with waffles. Oh, and if you don’t use rubbers with your mare, be sure to flush ‘em instead of leaving them in the trashcan for her to find.”
>>160069She grimaces at the mention of blood, but then remarks,
“It’s a nice car.” There is a pause. “Is every day like this for you?”
>>160071"Not every day, no, just days like these."
He smiles at her briefly before returning his attention to the road.
"Considering I now get to have date with as beautiful mare as you, I think that makes it worth it."
>>160071He quickly takes the whiskey and glasses, as well as the condoms, and puts them all in his bag.
"Thanks, Mr.glass."
>>160072She blushes, and again smiles, looking over at him.
"Do you... you say you are new to the city, yes?"
>>160073If Dark Star has a bag that will fit everything, he can just carry it, although the glasses will clank against each other and make noise.
"You're welcome any time" He says
>>160074Silver nods.
"That I am. Hard to believe it has just been few days."
>>160075"And you own the house and car?" She asks
>>160074"You're a Good Stallion Mr.Glass. Thanks for everything you do."
>>160077He nods, smiling
"Have fun."
>>160078"What does life look like, going forward for you, you think?" She asks
>>160079"i won't be having any of the kind of fun you are talking about."
He laughs as he heads to the spare room
>>160080He has a wide smile
"I won't say anything, don't worry. Just be sure to wear a condom, and don't let your special somepony see them."
>>160080>>160081Opening the door, it's the same layout as his own. There is a bed with disheveled sheets. There is indeed a blanket.
>>160081He just shakes his head and smiles
>>160082He takes the opportunity to look around
>>160083Nothing much. A bed, a dresser, a chair by the window, bed sheets, covers, and a quilted blanket. And a lamp. It's a simple room, basically identical to his own. The sheets have been moved around. Evidently it was used, and then not cleaned up since.
>>160079"Hmm...I suppose it would be nice to retire again and return to civilian life, once things calm down and I can say this city has become better. Hopefully things work out between us, because it would be great to see you in that future."
>>160084Dark Star looks in the dresser
>>160086There is a sock. Not a pair of socks. Just one, lonely sock.
Roll die>>160085She doesn't directly respond, or really properly acknowledge Silver's last remarks.
"Retire? Where will your income come from?"
>>160087"Civilian work. I have been trained as blacksmith, so I could use those skills in some kind of industry to support us. In meantime, there is more than enough work that needs doing."
>>160085>>160088She tilts her head.
“As a wandering warrior?”
>>160089Dark Star finds a copy of the Celestialist holy book, and a sock. Not a matching sock to the one found before, but a completely different unmatched sock.
>>160090"Something like that, yes. It is quite lucrative line of work at least."
>>160091She asks,
“… How lucrative, exactly?”
>>160092"When War ended, I was left homeless and destitute, and now I have nice house, car, some luxuries, and am able to support several people. Imagine what I could do in future..."
>>160090He raises his eyebrow
"What's this doing here?"
He picks up the book
>>160094Black binding and cover. Looks like a fairly standard, mass produced copy. Same version that used to be used at Dark Star's old church, although the superficialities of the appearance are different.
>>160093She looks over at him with wide eyes and tall ears
"What... could you do in the future?" She asks
>>160095"Well...would you like to be noblemare, someday?"
