>>161151Tricky looks unnerved. Sorrel looks confused.
Tricky:
“What?”
>>161152"Trust me, this is an old party trick my brother taught me/"
>>161153Tricky is anxious. Sorrel is smiling, trying to focus on Dark Night, but not always succeeding.
>>161154How are they positioned on the bed?
>>161155Both are sitting upright on the bed, although Sorrel is a bit slouched
>>161156How close are they together?
>>161157Their eyes are a foot or foot and a half separate.
>>161158Hmmm is that close enough to get the light in both of their eyes?
>>161159Not at a close distance. Perhaps if he shone it between them
>>161160Dark Star isn't that close.
>>161161He can do it, but the light will be dimmer.
>>161162He thinks about how the process works again. about how close he needs to be.
>>161163Dark Star wasn't trained, so he can only really guess. When Blue Skies and that one bat pony performed it on Dark Star, however, the light was very close and generally aimed at the forehead just above the nose.
>>161164He grabs one of the empty whiskey bottles and then sits down on the bed
>>161165Tricky looks down at the whiskey bottle, followed by Sorrel, who tries to grab it.
>>161166>>161167He laughs
"Its empty."
he then takes the flash light and puts the bottom of the bottle and he then turns it on. lighting the bottle up like a lamp.
>>161168Sorrel gasps. Tricky just looks at it, clearly expecting more. The bottle casts a dim, brownish light on the bed, and on the two mares.
>>161169"Isn't it the Cat's Pajama's? it usually works better on clear bottles though."
He "Accidently" shines the light in sorrel's eyes as he takes the light away from the bottle
>>161170Both mares look down intensely at the bottle. More so Sorrel, who leans in. Tricky leans back, but does pay attention.
“Ah!” Her eyes actually widen for a moment, before her pupils dilate, and she closes them. Her eyes are glassy, bloodshot, and dark orange.
>>161172"Oh No! Sorry that was an accident. are you ok?"
He pats her on the back
And at the same time accidently shines it in trickey's eyes as he turns his torso to sorrel
is that a reaction that he has seen before?
>>161173The light goes into Tricky’s eyes
“Ah!”
She breathes in and closes her eyes. Her eyes are glassy though less obviously bloodshot. Her Golden eyes reflect back like a light shone at a dogs eyes in the night time, like two golden rings. Sorrel whimpers, and lets Dark Night pat her on the back.
>>161174He Looks back to see what happened the reflection worries Him
"Oh No! I Should just turn this thing off."
He Does so.
He Chuckles Nervously
"I Guess that Whiskey is starting to kick in."
>>161176Tricky scrunches.
“You’re drunk.” She says.
Sorrel scrunches and looks at Tricky.
“
You’re drunk.”
>>161177Dark Star Trys to remember what happened when he shined the light in the other changelings eyes.
>>161178>>161178Zwolf refused the test utterly, and was instead beaten unconscious by Silver.
The police officer disguised as a Changeling had yellow irises that glowed blue, and then greenish as the light was shined on them
>>161179He Breathes a sigh of relief
>>161180Sorrel leans in, and presses her head on Dark Night's chest.
Tricky is still scrunchy.
>>161182She scrunches. Then she smiles, and moves her muzzle in closer. Closer. And then she nuzzles her nose against Dark Night's nose, looking into his eyes with her own golden eyes.
So...what other options for carriage ride are there?
>>161194Assuming pulling the cart himself is not desirable for Silver, then he can find whoever normally does cart rides and pay them to do it, or find someone else who has a cart and pay them to do it.
>>161195Well, time to do just that. This date will not be ruined!
>>161198Silver finds a taxi cart pony
>>161199Silver asks the taxi cart pony if he can take him and his date for a ride through the park.
>>161200Pull back some of the cover on the cart for a more open air experience, ride around the parks a few times and maybe parts of Colton Hill…
It can be done. For a price.
>>161201The price is worth it. For Khoi.
>>161202The stallion unhinges the side wall and pulls back the roof.
The air is chilly, and the most from the fog blocks out much of the Star and moon light, while causing fur to become wet. Is this what Silver wants?
Khoi sits silently, seemingly patiently waiting.
>>161203Well, Silver wanted a carriage ride for himself and his mare. This is the only option available, so yes. He helps Khoi into the carriage if she hasn't gotten in already, and gets in himself. The big stallion sits next to his small kirin date.
>>161204She gets up, and into the carriage, taking Silver’s hoof. She sits down next to him inside the carriage, looking up at Silver with an expression that, while mostly neutral, contains hints of eager curiosity.
>>161205Silver smiles down at his kirin, waiting for the ride to start.
"You are going to love this."
>>161206Khoi 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.
>>161207Silver finds the scenario rather calming, riding along in the coolness of the night. He looks down at his date, to see how she is enjoying it so far in the early part of the trip.
>>161208She is slightly startled by the initial jolt.
But more importantly, she seems to be cold, or at least, unaccustomed to winter in Baltimare, even if it's a pleasant spring or autumn day for Silver.
The cart slowly goes past lamps, leafless oak trees, and starts around a large pond.
>>161209"You look little chilly, Khoi. Here, allow me..."
Silver takes his suit jacket off, as he's still somewhat comfortable with the temperature. He drapes it around Khoi's shoulders, giving her an extra, if minor, layer of protection from the cold.
>>161210She looks up at him, blinks, and then lets Silvers drape her in the jacket. Soon enough, Khoi is sitting upright with both her dress on, and Silver's jacket draped over her. She smiles. The jacket has the added effect of keeping water off of her dress.
>>161211The big unicorn smiles back. The two can now continue to enjoy the quiet night ride, with the pitter patter of the driver's hooves being one of the very few things to break it up. After a couple minutes of riding together in silence and looking at the lights of the city pass by, Silver decides to test the waters just a bit with Khoi. He scoots closer, putting him a bit closer to his date.
