"I swear, it looks just like his... Perhaps." She says
>>159372"My First Day of college went pretty well."
>>159374"Well...perhaps we can make trade, then?"

>>159377"Yea, i mean i learnt about some ancient pony kingdoms in history. that was very interesting. the professor talked about An Earth Pony empire."
He grins
>>159379“I said it might resell as high as 300. I can’t pay for rent, taxes, and worker salaries by paying 300 bits on an item that might sit on the shelves for eight months before finally selling at 250.”
>>159378“Oh
really?” She repeats with a different inflection, and no grin.
>>159380Silver scrunches.
"It was bit misleading to mention 300."
>>159380"Yea really, he also talked about a Pegasai nation."
>>159381“Well, I didn’t know why you were asking. If it were for insurance, I’d appraise it for 300. If it were for estate taxes, I’d appraise it for 200.” She pauses “I kind of want to put it side to side to his to compare them.” She says. “Makes me wonder…”
>>159382She smiles. “And what did he say?”
>>159383"Well then, I suppose 200 will work."
>>159383"Well he mentioned that they re were governed on honor and Military glory, as well as having a military rule."

>>159387Blue Skies pets the yellow earth pony
>>159388“Alright.” She pulls out a set of notes, and counts them.
“200 bits.”
>>159389Silver gives over possession of the jade dog, and takes the money.
"Thank you!"
>>159390And so, Silver has 200 bits.
>>159391Silver better return to the car before the owner starts investigating the matter further. He waves goodbye before going back out to the car.
>>159389"Seems pegasi have a tendency to do that wherever they are."
>>159392She waves s hoof goodbye, examining the jade dog, while Silver enters the vehicle. Both Blue Skies and Dark Star are in the back seats.
>>159393She smiles wide, and nods slowly. “Everything has a purpose that accords with the sort of thing it is.” She says.
>>159394>>159393Silver gets going rather shortly after getting in the driver's seat, going away from the store without a clear destination.
"I managed to get 200 for statue. It turns out owner was friend of Bargain Strength and gave it to him as gift, but hadn't yet realized it was same one."
>>159394"Yea it truly seems that way."
>>159395"Really? That is a shock. although she probably does know."
>>159395She closes her eyes, and nods confidently…

“What?! She saw you?!”

"You didn't mention us, did you?"

>>159400"Nothing bad happened, my friend."
>>159401"How did she react when you told her?"
>>159401"You know she's going to realize it's the same one. And that you stole it."
>>159403"Me, but most importantly not you or Dark Star."
>>159402"She seemed to accept it."
>>159403Dark Star glances over at the windows
>>159404"Hopefully you are right."
>>159405They are well on their way away by this time, fortunately.
>>159403"O... kay..."
>>159405>>159406"Well, what had it been you or Dark Star who went inside instead of me?"
>>159407"I Do Not Know."
He Sips some of his whiskey
>>159407"Then they'd want to kill us." She says
>>159410"Well yes" She says.
"Do you think that organization would want to take it lying down?"
>>159408She takes his whiskey, and takes another drink
>>159411"No, except they don't know that we did it though."
>>159413"I Don't follow, are you speaking of the Blackhooves?"
