Amber runs from a police raid. After an intense firefight, Dark Star provides shelter for two young maidens, and Silver takes a lovely Kirin he's had his eyes on to see a movie. Iron retrieves treasure from the mountains, and Spark goes back to the wolf village with the resistance fighter.

A unicorn mare sitting nearby maybe is listening in (hard to tell), but generally there is a lot of noise and ponies focus on their own matters.

Okay, I'm curious now as to what was expected.

Tricky immediately stops talking, and turns her head to Dark Night, closing her mouth and watching him enter. Sorrel has a delayed reaction, as she lays her head down against Tricky's neck and shoulder, eyes closed. After the passage of a not insignificant number of seconds, she turns her head slightly and opens her left eye to look towards Dark Night.

One young stallion seems to be... explaining his work schedule to a friend? That's what it sounds like anyways. Some mare is talking about some other mare that apparently has feelings for Nickel Knob (seems to be a coworker) but he's engaged to some other mare and she's no good for him but they are going on a trip in the spring and... bleh. Some mare is complaining to her coltfriend(?) that she's hungry and he tells her that she should have said something ten minutes ago. And so forth.

“Yes. There was something about slippers for the dance…”

Shorts are played before the film. There is animation of walking milkshakes, singing to go to concessions. There is a very long clip of what seems to be a wart time update, showing ponies firing machine guns snd so forth. Mostly it looks like training footage, and it announces some land victories over Griffin forces. In the second half, of what is actually a distinct clip played immediately after, a victory over naval forces is announced. Silver can recognize a clip taken from a dive bomber of an attack on a ship in port that was played on the television, allegedly of an attack against Aquellian destroyers in the port at Pridea. The clip ends, or more likely, is immediately followed up with another clip, talking of the prosperity of the Silver Crescent Economic Union. A grocery store is shown, and it is announced that intercontinental trade will increase in the coming months with the clearing of shipping lanes.

Soon, ponies will be able to buy wine made across the ocean, buy luxury automobiles, and be safe against foreign threats. I mean ponies could do all of that three years ago but to hear it promised now is kind of an improvement over the status quo. Unfortunately the Hippogriff Menace makes true peace and normalcy impossible for the near future, but things are improving with the griffins at least.

There's an advertisement for a movie. It appears that rich mare has been shot, and it's up to a friend of hers turned detective to solve the mystery.

With money, a little luck, and a little time, all things are possible.

The movie starts...

Opening scene is in on Sunderby Island. As violence between Macawia and Carthago ceases, the old pirate Captain Celano of the Storm Wars fame is appointed as governor over Sunderby and the surrounding seas, but with a mandate to bring peace and rid the area of pirates. This is far from an easy transition, as neither the civilian population nor the pirates completely trust her. Some decide to start up business in regular trade, others continue in piracy.

Among the former pirates are two former Equestrian renegades: A red pegasus stallion named Quarter Mars, and his assistant, a blue unicorn named Diamond Blue. These two ponies were captured in youth and raised as pirates, and befriended Celano in her prime, and likewise served alongside her in her service to the Storm King. After a meeting with Celano, he agrees out of respect for his old friend and comrade. They start attempting to ship mangos out of the Kirin lands to Chiroptera.

However, not all of the former pirates agree. Lorenzo Lyle, a young renegade zebra stallion out of Kasa, continues to raid ships along with his assistant, a minotaur named Brinix. They raid a shipment of mangos through a different set of ships.

Meanwhile, Quarter Mars, sees and then converses with a mare that he takes a liking to, a soft pink unicorn mare from Kasa named Lys Doux. However, she is engaged to be married to a zebra stallion from Carthago, named Guarda Hábil. Though he is a member of the local aristocracy, it is shown that he provided the information on the shipment of mangos to Lyle and other pirates.

With a mandate to put an end to piracy, Celano sends out Quarter Mars and Blue Diamond on their ship, the Peregrine, to try to track down Lyle. They almost capture his ship, The White Swan, in an estuary, but the ship is alerted by a signal to move and escapes in time. It is shown that the signal came from a set of pirates who were informed by Habil of Quater's intent and whereabouts.

The Council of Nobles is furious about the continued activities of the pirates, especially after the latest failure. They believe that Celano is secretly supporting the continued existence of piracy. With Habil egging the opposition to Celeno on, the council makes a vote of no confidence against Celano. Habil declares that he will sail with Lys to the capital in Carthago to inform the council there of the decision of the nobles. Celano is distressed, and orders Quarter to once again try to track down Lyle.

Lyle, however, has not got over his feelings for Lys. Quite the contrary, he resents her coming marriage to Habil. While telling Celano he is going to track down Lyle, he instead goes to the house of Lys and outright kidnaps her, physically picking her up and flying away with her to the Peregrine, and sailing away. Unfortunately for Quarter, the White Swan is faster, and catches up to them. The ship is quickly boarded. Quarter thinks quickly and declares that he has changed his mind and has decided he wants to join the pirates back in a life of piracy. He declares that he and Lys are in love and have run away to marry each other. Lys does not approve of the “marriage,” but evidently does not want Quarter to be thrown to the sea serpents by the pirates, so she goes along with Quarter’s plan. Quarter, Lys, Lyle, Diamond Blue and Brinix a somewhat awkward dinner together on the White Swan, reminiscing about old times and their relationship with Celano.

Meanwhile, a merchant relates to Celano and the Council (and thus also Habil) that Quarter has run away to join the pirates along with Lys. Habil is left silent for once, but a different council member points out that Quarter stood to gain from piracy against ships carrying mangos, as it made his own cargo so much more valuable. Celano comes to believe that Quarter has been working against her the entire time. Celano decides to get in a ship herself, and track down both Quarter and Lyle, taking up her sword.

Quarter feels conflicted about his situation, but not more so than Lys, who is upset at having been forcibly removed from her comfortable situation to be in this near hostage situation. They start to argue in their bedroom in the Peregrine. However, their argument is overheard by Brinix, who realizes that the defection is phony, and travels back to the White Swan to tell Lyle about it.

Khoi sits silently in her seat, mostly keeping her eyes on the screen. Mostly. She takes a small number of nibbles at the peanuts and the popcorn, and Silver can hear the sounds of peanut crunching and magic aura. At some point, she switches to her right hoof, and reduces the crunching sound, evidently intentionally trying to reduce noise.

Lyle and Brinix arrive on the Peregrine late at night and, swords drawn, takes Quarter prisoner. Lys is placed under supervision by Brinix, while Lyle takes over the ship. Lyle believes that he will be able to use the ship as bait against Celano, whom he will then be able to encircle with the White Swan and the other pirate ships. It is revealed that Lyle sent the merchant earlier with the message, as he expected Celano to immediately come looking for Quarter. The film shows a scene of Celano in her own ship, and it appears that Lyle's plan is working as intended.

Lyle, an old acquaintance of Celano, has parked the Peregrine by a rocky outcropping favored by both Celano and Quarter, and thus one of the first places Celano would look. His plan is to park the Peregrine with Quarter in it by the rocky outcropping and let Celano approach it. When Celano is near, he will move out from behind the outcropping and attack with the White Swan and the full pirate fleet.

What Lyle had not accounted for was Diamond Blue, who was in a different room when Lyle stormed the ship and managed to flee away from Brinix in a rowboat. In his small boat, he cannot go very far, which works to his advantage as Celano approaches. Celano sails in, and sees Diamond before approaching the outcropping, slowing down enough to pick him up. Diamond attempts to engage Celano in conversation just as her ship approaches the Peregrine. Diamond tries to explain the trap to the still somewhat surprised and non-believing Celano. Celano is hopeful to hear that her old friend is still on her side, and at the insistence of Diamond uses her telescope to take a closer look at the Peregrine in the distance. She sees a flash of light reflected off of a plate by Quarter who is trapped in his cabin, and then sees where the light is reflected to: The White Swan, behind a particular set of rocks.

Celano quickly orders the canons to fire and to steer away, although only just barely in time. With Brinix in the Peregrine and Lyle in the White Swan, both ships fire at Celano’s ship, and begin a pursuit. A number of other ships are soon revealed following behind, with now an entire fleet following Celano. Celano orders a number of items thrown overboard and every sail high to try to evade them, and soon enough, Celano is pulling ahead and away from the fleet.
… Until a canon shot hits the main mast and destroys it, severally crippling the speed of Celano’s ship. Brinix in the Peregrine approaches Celano, ready to destroy it. In the last barrage, a shot manages to hit and destroy a connecting piece of the rudder, keeping her ship in a sharp right turn.

But in the Peregrine, Lys, who is not chained up and is no longer under the close watch of Brinix, sneaks off and frees Quarter from his confinement. Quarter sneaks up behind Brinix and attacks him. While Brinix notices him and the attack fails, it does start a fight between Brinix and Quarter that moves between swords and blunt objects like a telescope. The Peregrine is left directionless, and a sudden left turn causes its canon barrage to miss Celano’s ship.

Meanwhile, Celano sees that a fleet of friendly ships have assembled to help her fight the pirates. These are the other former pirates she knew in her past, merchants, some of the nobles who have decided to forego their mistrust for the sake of the common good, and even a ship from Chiroptera who have come to fight the mango thieves. Habil has even come to fight in this battle, albeit likely for his grudge against Quarter. With the Peregrine wondering aimlessly, and with the new fleet approaching, Celano goes full speed into the right turn, ramming the White Swan. The collision is such to entangle the two ships between their rigging and masts, and sailors on both sides board the other. Diamond engages in a fight with a few pirates, while Celano goes straight into battle with Lyle. Celano, while more experienced, has not held a sword in a while and it shows, as she misses the first few hits. Diamond butts in and saves her at one point. Celano quickly regains her stance, and eventually regains her prowess.

On the Peregrine, Brinix gets entangled in a set of rigging, and Diamond manages to move to trick him into cutting a rope that was holding a cannon in place. The rope around the cannon pulls him down and off the ship. Lys manages to get ahold of the wheel, and signals to the allied fleet not to fire on them, saving the ship. Celano disarms Lyle, and tells him what she has learned about the friendship and serving the good in her time. Lyle does not seem to believe this, grabs his sword, and dives towards Celano. She dodges, and Lyle knocks a canon back, which already lit, fires right at him, and knocks him off the ship. Celano meets up with Diamond, who has found a rowboat, as the two get on the rowboat and off of the White Swan as it and Celano’s entangled ship both sink. They are taken onboard the Peregrine by Quarter.

With the two lead ships of the pirate fleet captured or sunk, the remaing pirate ships are demoralized, and try to split away. Celano takes control of the Peregrine and gives out a command to the allied fleet to track down the remaining pirate ships. The other ships enthusiastically follow her lead. The pirate ships attempt to flee, but a reinforcement of frigates from Carthago show up in the other direction, cutting off the retreat. The pirates are forced to surrender.

The next day Celano is welcomed by the council back as the governor of Sunderby. She declares that she will go through the pirates and determine their fates accordingly. She says that she is considering imprisoning Quarter for is abduction of Lys. Lys runs over to Quarter, however, and declares that she has fallen in love with Quarter and wishes to marry him. Quarter is forgiven, and even praised for his help in stopping the pirates. Quarter and Lys embrace as Habil begrudgingly accepts.

And so ends the film.

Her wings, both extended, are not under Dark Star’s embrace but above it, snd she moves her left wing in, effectively hugging Dark Star back. Her fur is longer, and a little bit rougher than comparable mares, at least in Dark Star’s limited experience.

She moves her head up, and presses it across Dark Star’s. Dark Star can feel a tear run down her cheek.

Sorrel stops crying and speaking, but sniffles. Dark Star can feel a foreleg wrap around his back. Evidently Tricky has moved in to hug her from the other side, with Sorrel sandwiched between them, and his foreleg touching both Sorrel’s shoulder’s and Tricky’s chest.

Sorrel makes a high pitched whinnying sound, and moves her muzzle downwards. Her face is pressed directly against Dark Star’s, her left cheek against his left cheek, and now the bottom of his muzzle with the top of hers. Her long mane is soft, and it too can be felt against his face.

Tricky is now definitely close and hugging her, rubbing her back, and touching Dark Star’s belly.

Sorrel sniffles again, and her breathing is fairly heavy. But she’s quieted down after a few whinnies

>>161064
“Well… I’ve never done anything like that before.”
She smiles, looking up at Silver

“You must be really strong to live through that.” She says.

Sorrel twists her body to move her her fore section onto her back, and then her hindquarters follows, until she is entirely laying on her back. She moves her fore to be as much physically underneath Dark Star as is possible, with her hind legs sticking up in the air. She moves her forelegs up onto his barrel, and hugs him. Her wings unfold across the floor.

“Well then, let’s go.” Tricky takes the initiative of moving to the bed, standing up, and walking to the bed, getting on laying down against the wall. Her left side is against the wall, and she lays partly on the left so that her belly is exposed. She folds her left legs beneath her, her hind leg extends out behind her, and her foreleg is folded. She tilts her head down, and looks over towards Dark Star with her golden eyes.

Sorrel lets go, and falls onto the floor along with her duress open wings, entirely on her back.

Dark Star has only very little formal training on Changelings to go by. He knows that there is some sort of tell in the eyes, although precisely what that tell is, he cannot articulate. He knows that the most famous mods of attack is for Changelings to disguise themselves as young maiden mares and prey upon single or adulterous stallions looking for a one night stand or a fling or was that and old mares tale to scare stallions into behaving?. But he knows this is far from the only means they will use. Indeed, they will do anything and everything to steal pony love, from addiction and replacement, to targeting foals and the elderly.

Dark Star knows from his own experience that to be drained of love by a Changeling is an utterly miserable experience, with an emotional pain that becomes physical, and a draining of the love of life itself. He knows it can affect even memories, and can dull the very perception of reality itself. He knows that they have the ability to cocoon stallions and mares much bigger than themselves - he’s seen it - like a spider’s prey, and leave them in stasis as their love is drained. He knows that they can disguise themselves as a drained pony, and live their life. He’s seen it. He knows that the entire process is voluntary, that they can drain as much or as little love as they like, though their list will always incline them to take more. He’s heard of their powers of mind control, to put stallions in a trance, or to make them think nothing is wrong at all, and let them continue on with what they think is a happy relationship, while their insectoid lover eats away at their soul. They can overtake a much larger and stronger stallion, that much is certain.

These two find young mares look, feel, and sound very real. Surely, they must be. Just two young mares from near Cloudsdale who fled during or sometime after the Changeling occupation of the region, who are now homeless and single, and who have been wandering around for likely several months now. Surely they must actually like, or even maybe list after “Solar Night.” Right? It makes as much sense to accuse Glistenning Glass, or Lunar Nadir, or June Rising, or even Blue Skies of being a Changeling, right? They aren’t there to steal Dark Star’s love. Or to avenge their fallen sisters… even if they were Changelings they couldn’t know about that. There’s no way they could. And they couldn’t be here to spy on him…

White Star would tease him for his skittishness in the face of the two mares.

Right?

Khoi does not have any words. The cart starts moving forward and there is a slight jolt, which seems to catch Khoi offguard. The cart goes along a side walk, and then through a largely unpaved road through the park, past grass and bushes, and barren trees, into a small patch of wilderness, with the lights of small shops and houses on each side lighting up the fog in the distance. The air is rather cold, and small amounts of mist come down to cover the fur of the two ponies. The stallion pulling the cart makes a rhythmic clopping sound as the pulls the two along.

Silver remains like that with her for her silence, spirit still high. Considering she hasn't rejected the contact, he considers that she must have at least some feelings for him. He joins her in looking at the trees.

"Not dead, asleep. It is Winter, and to save their strength for these colder temperatures these trees have withdrawn life energy from their leaves into themselves and have shed them. They wait until Spring comes along with warmer temperatures, when they will wake up once again and these trees will bloom with vibrant green leaves, and flowers for some."

Khoi moved slightly away and seemed a little uncomfortable at the touch. But neither does she chase his hoof away, as she could have, and all the same is true of Silver's hoof holding in the theater.

She speaks
"It's the cycle of life. We have something like that at home. The trees are most vibrant in the rainy season, and less so in the dry season. Sometimes they will shed leaves..." She pauses again. "But it is summer there now, and it is winter here..."

Silver shivers a bit from remembering the winters of his youth.

"Bitterly cold. They say that when Windigoes were banished from this realm long long ago, in Severyana their influence remained strong. Rivers and lakes will freeze over, snow will blanket land, and it is impossible to farm as even our moisture-rich soil will freeze somewhat. You need thick winter coat to go outside in freezing temperature for long period of time. Not only all of that, but up north you will find no trees like this, which fall asleep for Winter. It is too cold for them. Only hardy conifers such as pine and yew can survive. Their needles require far less life energy to maintain than leaves, and they never drop them in Autumn unlike these trees."

As she gets closer, she's able to see the individual hairs better among the floof. The smell becomes just a bit stronger, a bit more recognisable as the coat wash they use at home. Continuing the trend of cleanliness, she sees no residue of such coat wash on his fur, implying he's done a good job of rinsing it out. There's also no oily shine indicating that it hasn't been washed properly, and in the cool dampness of the night she can see tiny drops of mist condensing on his coat. As they pass through a small breeze, she sees the indiviual hairs of his floof flow like a wave. It's like looking at the rice fields of her home, if they were much taller like wheat or corn.

If Khoi seems to be a near mythical creature in her own right, if her culture seems sometimes alien, and her homeland far away and exotic - it must be remembered that Silver, the winter, and this brave new world of Baltimare is foreign to her. The similarities between her and their cultures are far greater than the differences, but the similarity only invites comparisons and highlights differences.

Khoi leans in, then scoots slightly closer, and pulls her lips back in a smile that specifically lets her small fangs hang out. She starts rubbing her hoof within his fur against his hide in a circular motion.

Slowly and gently, Silver places one forehoof on her hindleg, and the other draped around her shoulders. In this way, Khoi gets the maximum floof contact possible in their current position, and boy does it have an effect. Khoi might have wondered what it would be like to touch a cloud sometime in her past, and if she did, Silver feels exactly like how she imagined it. His fur may have a few drops of dew from the moist nighttime air, but it can easily be forgotten and forgiven for just how soft and comfortable his floof is like the best pillow or blanket in the world, and the warmth! She feels much warmer already as the trapped warmth within his fur washes over her. It's enough to give a kirin floof envy.

Silver does indeed move his jacket to maximize contact. He enoys the unique feel of his kirin, the intimacy of their position, and the lovely winter night they are riding through. The unicorn wonders to himself if this is the most physical contact the little kirin has had in her life, or at least for a while.

And of course, how could he neglect the poor kirin's chest floof. He looks down at it, admiring it just as he admires the kirin it belongs to.

It’s… floofy. Okay, she’s not as floofy as Silver. Still….

She looks out into the night air, riding alongside Silver. Her head pokes out, contacting Silver’s head and neck. He may need to be careful to avoid her horn.

Silver still admires it. He rubs up against his date, not in a sexual way, but to snuggle, cuddle, be closer to, and enjoy the feeling of his kirin date. Other than this, he happily enjoys looking out at their surroundings with Khoi.

Tricky has a nice enough feel to her, with long hairs on her fur, and a bony shoulder

Both mares have their bodies, legs, and wings pressed into Dark Star, and with the small size of the bed it isn't possible for it to be otherwise.

On the other side of Dark Night is Sorrel, who also has a leg over him, and a hind leg down lower on his body. She looks over at Dark Night, and her eyes are more overtly lidded than Tricky's.

Trickey herself looks half dazed. She appears to have found the second blanket, and is hording it as a pillow, which she lays her head on. As a source of warmth, she wraps her left foreleg and hind leg over Dark Night, and presses her chest against him - she is spooning him. She does smile, evidently at Dark Night's most recent comment. She is listening.

Sorrel scrunches, and crosses her forelegs. She lays her head back. Her head is upside down, her long blue mane spills everywhere on the bed and over the side, and she stares at Dark Night while upside down. She slowly lowers her hindlegs, letting her hooves touch the end of the bed.

Khoi at times jumps in reaction to snuggling moves... But she prefers the floof to the chill air. Mist falls down in a fine, light rain. Moving along to the side walk, stone-face candy and flower shops pass along one side, and street lamps and large barren trees on the other, and then past bronze statues of stallions, and fountains with the sound of trickling water.

Hellquill is pretty far North and East, best accessible by train from a different country. The Northern border to Bronzehill is 20 miles away, but it's 20 miles of swamp, and then there is The River to cross. The western border to the Imperial Heart is only 40 miles to the West. But above this, all of this, the train station is slightly over a mile away.

What good is taking the train without a ticket, particularly when you have luggage you cannot part with? At least Amber isn't to blame for this situation. Are there any roads to Bronzehill?

The structure is oddly less grand than Amber might have expected. Whereas Equestrian train stations are tall and open, designed to impress visitor when they first enter a city, this train station more functional and economical with space. Rooms are smaller, and the dominate architectural feature is blocks of limestone on the facade, which compliment a wooden interior. The building is two stories in areas, and has the same red tile roof patterning as defines most of the architecture she’s seen.

Amber tries to move to one side of the platform and keeps an eye out for any disturbance. She considers busking again, but she doubts the griffons would be any less stingy and in any case it would be drawing attention to herself.

"I am not!"
She scrunches, and then turns her upper body from laying on her back, to laying on her belly, twisting her head, shoulders, and forehooves.

The following takes place almost in slow motion. As Sorrel twists her shoulders, almost like a rope her body winds up, and then unwinds, with her barrel and her hindquarters starting to rotate clockwise, twisting 180 degrees to turn her onto her belly. The problem is that her hind legs are and have been partly extended upright. They move from above, down to her right and off of the side of the bed, until they hang out over the the edge of the bed. And with their weight, the change to her center of gravity, and the momentum of the twisting motion halted by her legs hitting the side of the bed, Sorrel's hindquarters move over and off the side of the bed. And the rest of the pony follows... Her hind falls off, then her belly, and finally her front is dragged off as well. Her eyes widen, she presses her hooves into the mattress... but it isn't enough. Sorrel falls off of the bed and clashes onto the floor.

Tricky looks up over Dark Night at the commotion.

"We were mixing candies and we tried to mix them and it didn't work, so we used the stove to melt them, which worked but it singed the candies so it was stuck to the dishes, so Paper suggested just turning the stove up to get the rest off, and that caught it on fire which caused the griffin to get involved, and she got Mala and he got upset and then the dishes fell off...."

The lights are on and the door is open. Khoi lays down on her belly, her body fairly elongated along the bed. Her tail and it’s long brown hair extends across the bed, while her mane is still up. She had taken her dress off, and Silver can see the shiny copper-colored scales that extend across her back. She is evidently wearing a beige underwear that almost blends into her natural colors. Her forelegs extend in front of her and her hooves are off of the bed. Her horn lights up, as she uses her magic to comb her mane with a black comb. Her exirsssion is completely neutral as she watches Silver enter the room.

Silver smiles at the small, lithe kirin, appreciating her shiny copper scales, short golden fur, and dark floof. The underwear is odd to the Severyanan, who has always slept in the nude, but he pays no mind to it.

"This is proof, that dress would be nothing without your beauty, Khoi."

He steps inside the room, and closes the door behind him (unless she says something).

He smiles wider at the display, and almost lets out an involuntary d'awwww. He takes it as a "yes", and begins to undress himself from his suit, down to the nude. Perhaps the kirin may find it to be extraordinarily lewd to be undressing himself in front of a young mare, considering she is currently wearing underwear. Perhaps she considers it normal as wearing no clothes is their natural state. Silver does not know, all that is known is that he seems to consider it normal and pays it no mind as he dresses down, giving Khoi an unobstructed view of his extraordinary floof and large frame, which may be a little intimidating in this context and situation even if he remains in a friendly disposition.

As he drops his pants and steps out of them, the now-fully undressed unicorn stands before her in all of his nude glory. Thank goodness he has the willpower to keep certain body parts tucked away, for the sheer floofiness of Silver uncontained by his suit is already enough for the poor kirin. She's already seen him naked before, but in the current context it feels just slightly different. From the dark grey dorsal stripe running down his back to the cutie mark of a sword in mid-swing, she is more acutely aware right now of certain details of his person.

The naked floofy unicorn, once undressed, now trots over to her bed, sitting down on it and causing her to feel it shift slightly from his muscular weight. He smiles kindly at the scared kirin.

"There is no need to be afraid. I do not bite." He mutters under his breath "much...".

Whatever she may have expected him to be like, he is surprisingly gentle with her in how he attempts to keep from hurting her, only using enough strength to work out any tangles he finds. The amount of work and care she put in already makes his job especially easy, but still. Khoi can feel that he's doing a good job on her.

With a "Here we go," Silver returns back to his sitting position behind Khoi, and begins to brush her mane. More than detangling, the brushing does a better job at massaging her scalp, letting him idly brush away as he spends time with Khoi on the bed.

As he brushes, he speaks to the kirin. "I imagine this is all very new to you, and somewhat scary. Maybe even not exactly what you thought relationship would be like?"

Does Amber want to wait a few minutes before getting on the train? I didn’t think so. Travel several cars further back, look in if you feel like it, and then pick a car and get on. Amber gets on, and she has the choice of placing the luggage in a luggage car or trying to keep it all as near her as possible, in the aisle or an empty nearby seat if necessary. She may also sit near or further away from the other griffins.

Has Amber ever been in a train in Equestria? Either way, the coaches are older. The floors are wooden with a carpet running down the aisle. The windows are dirty and square, and they appear to have the simultaneous qualities of having been designed to be opened, while being modified to remain shut. The griffins vary in their appearance from useful and healthy, to old and infirm, male and female. It's at least half full in total, perhaps 20 or so griffins besides Amber's group.

What did Amber expect to see walk through the door at the front of the coach? Nothing? A random, riding griffin? Lord Tirek? Princess Celestia, back from her exile? The spirit of harmony incarnate in a pony? Mustard Trim the white, shining stallion of her dreams here to sweep her off her hooves and rescue her from a life of mundanity? Barney the fucking the Dinosaur?

No. Those threats we most expect, so very often, are precisely what come to pass. At the end of the aisle, Amber sees a brown brown griffin with a cap and grey-black uniform enter. A police officer. He is followed by a second, grey griffin in the sand attire, looking around.

Hopefully Amber isn't sitting right next to her compatriots. She is still dressed as a humble cook, and pretends to read the newspaper.

Helm stands up, and walks away towards the back. But he does so very conspicuously, leading the two officers to follow. They walk right past Amber, Helder, and Erich

So very close….

It was a mistake bringing Helm along, as he easily got spooked and could have exposed all of them at once. But fortunately it was just him and not Amber's two closer friends.

Amber stumbles off into another boxcar and wonders what awaits her going forward, "Oh geez! I sure do hope this trip works out and nothing silly happens!"

Something silly would, in fact, happen.

As the door to this new boxcar clicks shut, she notices ponies fleeing out the far end of said boxcar in a panicked hurry. She turns her gaze to the source of this commotion...
A strange bipedal creature who's body is covered by a green spandex costume and a what appears to be a formal suit over it flails his arms as he stumbles backwards from an incapacitated mare.
"THERE IS NO LOVE MORE SACRED AND PURE THAN THAT WHICH IS SHARED BETWEEN A MAN AND A MARE!"
His victim was a prissy, yellow-and-pink mare, that now lies stunned in a state of what appears to be prolonged orgasmic euphoria, her her eyes having rolled back as her wet tongue hangs outwards.
Amber finds herself alone in the boxcar as she desperately fiddles with the door, attempting to escape.
"Please, somepony help!" There is no reply.
Her pleas go unanswered as the frenzied man charges towards her, his feet loudly banging against the metal floor as he does so.
She withdraws backwards into the nearest corner, trembling in terror before the violent and rapacious charge suddenly stops.
*boop*
Amber opens her eyes slightly...
"BOOP," the alien loudly cries!
Amber feels and overwhelming sense of euphoria as this strange creature's fingertip lightly presses her snoot. Uncontrollably, her marehood winks, her hind legs spray open despite it all.
She feels... She feels hot... Warm, wet heat building in her nethers and she can't help but buck uncontrollably against this intense heat, her hind legs kicking weakly.
The alien leers at her, his faced turned downed in what appears to be a predatory pose.
"Men and mares we're meant for each other," he hisses as he reveals his manhood.
Amber opens her mouth to protest, but she finds the soft, supple lips of this "man" have already met hers. He sucks and whirs his tongue about as Amber weakly resists.
The heat rises and Amber Sunset can't help but force her tongue to dance with his.
Now she bucks violently, as if her marehood itself demanded attention.
She immediately feels a shaft slowly begin to invade her marehood and she can't help but moan loudly. It's so wrong yet so right.
"My name is Anonymous and I'm a MAN," the alien breathily states, having reached full bore.
Between moans, Amber Sunset coils and releases herself, fully embracing this wonderful assault.
It's over in several minutes as Amber feels his member part her. She now feels oddly incomplete in its absence. She looks up only to be given a final kiss. And what a kiss it was...
This "Anonymous" gave her a final parting look of what appeared to be acknowledgement before leaping from an open window as trees blurred past.
"No," Amber thought. "Not yet!"
Two royal guards burst in from the far side of the cabin, their looks of determination turning into horror as they saw Amber.
One guard, a grey earth pony stallion, reluctantly approached her. "By Celestia! Are you okay?"
Amber grinned absent-mindedly as she met the stallion's gaze...
"There is no love more sacred and pure than that which is shared between a man and a mare," she states, blushing intensely.

Erich curses, and Helder says something in a lower tone of voice. Amber is not close enough to either to hear them. At least for the moment, the threat seems to have passed.

And so, Silver lays down with the Kirin. Silver's chest and belly rub up against her scales, which while not as hard as metal, are far from completely soft to the touch. He can feel her relatively short back fur, and especially her mane, much of which remains between their bodies. Khoi wraps her tail around under her body, but otherwise remains still and silent.

The cook remains still, but the two police officers slowly move down the car, looking around. They walk right past Amber, coming from behind

At the end of the car, in front of Amber, a griffin in fedora and beige woolen trench coat stands in the doorway.

Evidently they are important enough for the secret police to conduct a search. Amber knew that the railways were a risky prospect because they were too obvious to pass up. Yet the poor road network of Katerin would not have worked either, unless if there was some unknown route going through the northern swamp. Perhaps risking those dangers would have been preferable.

Perhaps this is the most bodily contact she has ever experienced before. Perhaps not. What is known is that Khoi can feel every contour of Silver's body, even under all of that floof. She doesn't feel his "Sword", thankfully. Perhaps she feels his sheath, but that's an unavoidable fact of biology that she may not even know anything about. Silver seems surprisingly calm, perhaps he even is a calming, protective influence for the small kirin. Or not, who knows?

For all of her protests otherwise, there is little doubt that Khoi is, or was, afraid of Silver, or at least the situation. She takes two full minutes to ease up, and finally adjust to her situation. Even as she breathes more naturally, she remains curled up in a bal, with her back bent against Silver.

For her benefit, Silver doesn't advance any farther, or try to push the envelope. He just stays there, holding and laying down with his kirin as she very slowly becomes acclimated to the close contact.

"Do not worry so much, Khoi. I will not hurt you, nor will I dishonor you. This is not so bad, is it?"

“No…” she meekly answers. She slowly eases up, straight into her body somewhat. Perhaps the biggest sign that she’s adjusted comes when she lets her tail move and hang out behind her.

This is nice, just being here with his kirin. Especially once she starts to relax. Silver continues to not make any threatening moves towards his kirin in an attempt to continue to prove to her that he means no harm.

"There, see? It is just spending time being close to each other. Did you know about all of this before coming here? Kissing, snuggling, cuddling?"
