>>161942“Uh…” she closes her lips, then opens then back again.
“I can’t really… I can’t really see it…”
Silver is upside to her from this angle. Even to manage it, Silver is nearly impaled by Khoi’s horn.
>>161943Is there a way he can manuveur his head so his horn is in her view?
>>161944He’d have to move all the way around her. It would be easier to maneuver her.
>>161945Hmm...very well then, he maneuvers the kirin.
>>161946kirin is maneuveredIf Silver is feeling especially playful, he may take each of her hooves above her head, and twist her as in a dance, rolling her over. If not, he can press on her shoulders to roll her over, or just ask. In any case, Khoi is rolled over from her right side to her left, and then positions herself on her belly. Now laying down with her head up, she looks at the horn, and then pokes it with her hoof.
>>161947There is a very fine layer of fuzzy light grey skin covering the conical, boney appendage that sticks out of his head and through his mane. It isn't quite as velvety as hers. There is a swirl pattern in his horn that extends all the way to the tip.
>>161948She takes the frog of her hoof, and presses it against the tip. Then, she rubs it up and down the length of his horn.
>>161949Silver blushes a bit from the contact. As she rubs she can feel an almost static-like feeling eminating from it. The skin is pulled very taut over the boney appendage.
>>161950She leans in a little closer, and taps it twice.
>>161951tap tapThe static feeling becomes a bit more familiar to her. It's the feeling of magic, flowing through his head and horn.
>>161953As she rubs, the staticy magic feeling slowly and gently increases in strength.
>>161954She whips her tail up, and rubs it still more so
>>161955Silver's blush intesifies along with the feeling of magic until a minute, harmless jolt of magic runs up her foreleg.
>>161956“Ah!”
She jumps back, clearly startled, then moves her head closer, curious, and finally giggles,
“Hehehe”
>>161957He chuckles as well.
"That is unicorn magic for you. Mine is...but underdeveloped. My father was Earth Pony so I never got to practice magic in my youth."
>>161958“What spells do you know?” She asks flatly
>>161959"Eh...levitation and light."
He demonstrates by levitating an object in the room and setting it back down, and using the light from his horn to light up a small area around them.
>>161960She watches the object, her head moving up and down as she watches the object. She moves her head back abd closes her eyes briefly at the light, but then opens it again.
“Is that… less than most unicorns?” She asks
>>161961"Little bit. Most know three or four, often related to their cutie mark. I
can try to form my magic into shape of certain objects, but it is not really spell. However, I do feel far closer to my Earth Pony roots, and Earth Pony magic."
>>161962“What is this ‘Earth Pony’? The hornless, wingless ones?”
>>161963Silver nods.
"Those are Earth Ponies. They have magic of their own, even without wings or horns. Most think it is only for growing better crops, but it is special kind of connection to planet that extends far beyond mere agriculture."
>>161964“What kind of connection? A spiritual connection?”
>>161965"It is very much like that. It is connection to world itself and all that calls it home, to simplify it greatly."
>>161967"What does what do? Earth Ponies?"
>>161969"Well, traditionally, most farms in Equestria are owned and operated by Earth Ponies because their magic makes them best farmers, and some use their magic to aid in rock farming and mining minerals. But Earth Ponies are adept at very many different vocations. My father was blacksmith, after all."
>>161970“Oh. Okay.” She says, looking at Silver
>>161971"In ancient days, Earth Ponies had their own fighting styles, utilizing their unique Earth Pony magic to aid them. My father taught my lot about them."
>>161972She shifts her hooves around on the bed.
“Earth pony fighting styles? How is that different?”
>>161973"I can show you if you want."
>>161974She looks up to Silver with evident curiosity.
“You can do that inside? Wouldn’t you break something?”
>>161975"I can, I will just avoid more flamboyant moves."
>>161976“Okay.” She says. “Show me.”
>>161977Silver smiles, and moves to get up from the bed. Before he shows her he does some stretches to keep himself limber.
And, hopefully for Khoi's sake, she can't see his "Sword" exposed from their cuddling and kissing session.When ready, he begins to demonstrate a number of stances and fighting moves in the ancient Earth Pony style: taking a wide stance, keeping all his hooves constantly on the ground, and making wide, powerful attacks and swings.
>>161978Khoi moves over so that she lays on the bed facing Silver, with her hooves just barely hanging off the edge. She watches the display of both the stretching and the fighting stances.
>>161979When he finishes, he takes a cooling stance, and looks over at Khoi with a smile.
"So...what do you think?"
>>161980"Interesting." She says. "I've seen you fight."
>>161981"Yes, but maybe you have not actually
seen way I fight before?"
>>161983He smiles, and gets back into bed with her.
"Did you like it?"
>>161984And so Silver is back n bed with the kirin.
"I respect the ways of the warrior. I have wielded hammer, rifle, and gauze... I do not like it."
>>161931How long does it take a pony to get a pack of playing cards?
"Well... maybe a little."
>>161985"You are superb warrior, and excellent healer. I know you do not like it, but I am glad you are. I do not think wound on my back would have healed as well as it has without your work."
>>161987She gives a weak smile, and is silent for several seconds.
"Thank you..."
>>161988He scoots over to once again make full-body contact cuddling with her, and holds her close and tight.
"No, thank you, Khoi."
>>161989She makes a whimpering sound, almost like crying. She leans her head against Silver and presses into him.
>>161990He looks at his cuddling partner.
"Are you okay? That sounded like crying."
>>161991She seems to actively desire cuddles right now, rather than merely passively submit to them. She presses her head against Silver, blocking her eyes.
>>161992Wow, what a pleasant change! Silver gladly cuddles his cuddle-hungry kirin, as much or as intensely as she desires.
>>161993squeakShe does seem to be passively crying though.
>>161994He does still look at her with concern.
"...are you okay?"
>>161986Who knows? it could take all night.
He Smiles
"Well i missed you a lot for what its worth."
>>161996She smiles with her mouth closed
"I knew you would.' She says
>>161995She holds on to the giant, fluffy pillow.
"One of the principles of the seven-fold way is to not kill. I don't know if I killed any creature. I do not think I did. I do not believe I did... But I swung at them. I hit them. I shot at that wicked unicorn... I got hit by that wicked unicorn. If I had not lost control I would be maimed or dead. And then what I saw on that marble table. All of what I saw in Cue Song, on the beds, in the collapsed houses, what I heard at night...."
>>161998He pets his poor kirin's mane.
"They did not hold to seven-fold way and attacked you. You did nothing wrong by defending yourself. If you did not, you would not be here."
>>162000cooShe moves a bit forward, and straightens her back to Dark Star. Her wings partly extend.
>>161999https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmslaEudR3M"But it is not in keeping with the ways. And maybe I should have stayed..."
She trails off. She moves closer, to let him pet her mane
>>162001He continues rubbing her back putting extra pressure in some places, paying extra attention to the base of Her wings.
>>162001"Do ways have stance on self-defense?"
pet pet pet"I am glad you lived, and glad you came. You are kind, caring, smart, beautiful mare that this country and world needs more of. I had so much fun tonight with you on date, I am extraordinarily glad to have gotten opportunity to meet you, and I can not think of better mare anypony could possibly marry."
>>162003"Not really." She answers
he extends her hooves, and wraps them around Silver, especially with his last words. She seems to stop crying.
>>162002She starts to unfurl her wings for Dark Star
>>162004He Rubs each side of Her wing at the same time, one after the other.
>>162004He continues to hold her close and tight, as he pets and strokes her mane.
"You are good person, Khoi, and you spread that goodness with you wherever you go. This world is far better with you than without you. It cannot be against seven-fold way to defend yourself when this world's villians attempt to kill you and deprive world of that goodness."
>>162006“It still feels like a betrayal.”
She whimpers
“And to leave…”
>>162007pet pet pet"It is not betrayal, especially not to leave. You were thinking of your family, giving them place to live where they can thrive away from war. And we will do that, together. I promise you."
>>162008kirin is pet pet petHer mane is rather long, but reasonably soft. She nuzzles his fur briefly, and rubs her hoof against his shoulder in a downward motion. She does not say anything.
>>162009He holds his poor, poor kirin close to him.
"I am here for you, Khoi. You always have shoulder to cry on or fluff to cry into with me."
>>162010“Thank you…” she says, pressing her muzzle into his fur while laying down next to him. Her ear twitches.
>>162011The unicorn, happy to be there for her, continues to hug and to hold her as she lets it all out. Seeing her ear twitch, he decides to give it some ear scritches.
>>162012She closes her eyes and smiles as Silver scritches, albeit an embarrassed sort of smile. Her mood does seem to be improving.
>>162013"You are such strong pony to carry these burdens by yourself for so long. I admire your strength and conviction. But we do not always need to carry our burdens alone."
scritch scritch scritch"Or, failing that, I can carry you."
>>162014She closes her mouth in a much warmer smile as she lets Silver scritch her head.
>>162015He smiles back.
"Would you let me carry you tonight, Khoi?"
>>162016“What do you mean?” She asks, raising her head up.
>>162017"I mean, would you let me help you carry your burdens tonight? Like this?"
>>162018She takes a moment
“I think it’s… better than being alone.” She answers
>>162019Silver nods.
"Take it from me: it really is."
He resumes cuddling and scritching her, gently and lovingly.
>>162020And….
squeakyEvidently Silver has his own personal cuddle toy for the night
>>162021If Khoi listens carefully, she can hear a tiny, happy whinny with every breath Silver takes as he continues to cuddle her.
>>162022Khoi varies between pulling further away, staying close to Silver, and being perfectly passive. She isn't really
his yet, in the proper sense, nor does Silver have a path for satisfaction of
all of his desires. But perhaps it's a satisfying enough ending for an otherwise sometimes stressful day.
>>162023Silver is happy with it, at least. He has a soft kirin to cuddle, and if needed he has other ways of dealing with those desires.
>>162005She rolls onto her belly, and extends her wings, giving Dark Star more room to rub
>>162025Well, you know, he has a hoof he can use when he's not right up against Khoi. And he can see how Jubilosa is doing...
>>162026He climbs on top of her in order to massage her back more effectively
>>162028She flicks her tail and moves her head up, then turns it back to look at Dark Star with a smile. She now fully extends her wings, letting them hang over the edge of each side of the bed.
>>162029He begins pressing his hoofs into her back and rubbing any tension she has built up away
>>162030She turns her head forward, stretching it out, and stretches her back. Dark Star can feel her fur, the bones under her fur, and the massive muscles attached to her wings. She moans lightly as Dark Star massages her.
>>162027Hmmmmm....
>>162031Though, realistically, Silver
does have a couple of things to do before he sleeps. He kisses Khoi's cheek.
"I should figure out where colts are going to sleep in house tonight. You have any suggestions?"
>>162032She flinches slightly at the kiss, but otherwise does not react.
She blinks
"Your room?"
>>162033"Hmm...it is not bad idea, if Jubilosa does not mind sharing room."
>>162034"Jubilosa can stay with me." She answers. "Or put the gnoll outside, and give them that room."
>>162031"Wow, you're really fit."
He says as he continues rubbing her back. working her muscles.
>>162035He looks at her in curiosity.
"Would you rather sleep with Jubilosa, then?"
>>162036"Eh heh heh heh heh." She looks back smiling confidently, and reveling in the compliment
"
I know"
She moves her wings forward, giving Dark Star a new angle to massage her backside.
>>162037"You asked where to put the colts, and I gave a suggestion."
>>162038He Moves his hoofs down from her back towards her flank
>>162041She moves her hind legs out from under her, slightly spreading them, and moving her thighs out as Dark Star's hooves approach.
