>>160196"Huh...in my own native language, we called stallions 'жеребцы', and mares 'кобылы'."
>>160196He continues down the street, puffing out his chest.
>>160198Solar Night isn't quite fluffy enough to be as intimidating as Silver Sword.
He arrives back at the tavern shortly.
>>160197She moves her head back
"Do you feel like you are from Equestria?" She asks
>>160199"Yes, and I also see myself as Severyanan. I have hooves in each. I was born in St. Petershoof but it was when it was part of Equestria, and my father taught me value of my culture and heritage but also instilled in me love for Equestria and Harmony. I was taught Cyrillic from birth but Ponish came when I was colt, and while I speak mostly Ponish around others I sometimes slip into Cyrillic."
>>160199Around zlacks never relax.
He walks in
>>160200"And how old was that? When you learned Ponish?"
>>160201Solar Night is, fortunately, not jumped by Zebras. He enters through the door in the residential section of the building, and is alone.
>>160203flickgaspBlue Skies would not like that....
>>160205A door upstairs creaks open.
>>160206He Glances up at the door
>>160202"I was in my early school years when I could start to speak some admittedly broken Ponish, and by time I was in my teenaged years I could speak, read, and write Ponish fluently."
>>160207Tricky Truffle
has escaped pokes her head out of the room, and looks down. Then she moves all the way out of the room, and peers over the railing down to Solar Night in the lobby area.
>>160208She nods
"I see. When did you move to Equestria?"
>>160209He waves with the cigarette hanging out of his mouth.
>>160209"After I turned 18. I suppose I did not have permanent residence until I was 23, though."
>>160210"Mind if I join?" She asks, placing her hooves over the railing as she looks down.
>>160211"What did you do in the mean time?" She asks
>>160213Tricky walks around, down the stairs, and next to Solar. She has a blank expression. Then she looks Dark Star in the eyes with her own gold and asks,
"Can I bum a cigarette?"
>>160214She nods
"Who.. What exactly did you do?" She asks
>>160215The silver unicorn smirks at her slip of the tongue.
"You are curious about how many partners I have had?"
>>160216She looks down at it, raises a hoof, takes it and asks
"Can I have a light?"
>>160217Her eyes become wide
"I meant... who you've fought..."
She slinks down in the chair
>>160218He laughs
"Not a problem."
he passes her the lighter
>>160219flickShe lights up the cigarette, takes a drag, and returns the lighter to Solar. She keeps the smoke in her mouth and lungs for a while, before blowing out the smoke.
>>160218"Ohhh, sorry Khoi. Mostly bandits and wild creatures. There have been couple of times against stray skeleton or two, but I think that was most exotic of enemies I have fought before now."
He reaches over as best as he can, and gets her to sit straight up. He takes her hooves and holds them on the table.
>>160220"What brings you down here?"
>>160222"Succulent and I have been travelling since the Partition. We haven't really stayed in any one place very long, but we've been in Baltimare for the last couple months." She answers without making eye contact until the end.
>>160221She allows Silver to move her hooves around. She looks down at this process. Then she looks up.
"Skeleton?"
>>160224"Why? stay in baltimare so long i mean. its not exactly the nicest place."
>>160224Silver nods.
"Skeletons animated by dark magic. Probably most simple form of undead I have seen."
>>160225"There's fun things to do, ponies to meet, more places to stay... besides, where else would we go?" She shrugs, looking away.
>>160226She blinks
"How.... common is the undead in Equestria?"
>>160227"Very, very rare. Usually result of errant magic from young unicorn rather than from trained necromancy."
>>160228"Uh... did you get called to them often?" She asks. "I mean..." But she does not complete the sentence
>>160227"Maybe see where the princesses lived?"
He shrugs
>>160229Silver shake his head.
"As I said, I only ever encounted them couple of times in my travels."
>>160230"What?" She asks, confused
>>160231"Oh. Okay.." But she moves about in her seat
"What about monsters?" She asks
>>160232"The princesses? You know Luna and Celestia?"
>>160233"Yeah I've heard of them. What about them?"
>>160234"Have you not been to their castle?"
>>160235"What are Timberwolves?" She asks
>>160237"They are wolves made of animated wood. They are found mostly in and around Everfree Forest with lots of other creatures and monsters. Sometimes they leave forest and wander into nearby towns, which is when I would receive request to come and deal with problem back before my first retirement."
>>160236"No." She says
>>160238She leans in, listening intensely
"So you would... kill a whole pack of wooden wolves?"
>>160239'Might be an interesting place to visit. i've never been either. Speaking of them. what do you think about them?"
>>160239Silver nods.
"Key is using blunt objects. If you do not smash them into small enough pieces, they will reassemble themselves, sometimes into one single giant timberwolf."
>>160240"Things were stable back when Celestia was in charge alone." She says.
>>160241She nods
"Oh... That sounds... dangerous..."
>>160242he laughs
"Yea that was a long time ago though."
>>160242"It can be, but with practice and experience it can become almost trival."
>>160243"It was. I was just a small filly back then. Barely remember it. But I remember it." She takes a long draw on another cigarette. "The black one was there I guess, and then Twilight... Ever seen a waiter that tries to take all of the plates for an entire large party all out at once, and then loses balance on the tray? She was that."
>>160244"How does that ever become trivial?" She asks
"And.... was there anything else like that?"
>>160245"Yea i was a colt back then. feels like forever ago. the black one? luna?"
He laughs as she shit talks twilight
"Yea, she was the worst."
