Kira nods, as she slithers towards the outskirts of the city, figuring that any farms would probably be further out.

"Oh yeah, it's part of the lamia diet. You don't need a whole lot of room to raise goats, they're filling, and you can get milk from them."

“Ah, that makes sense.”

She follows, lowers her head, and then asks
“Would you… like some help? In finding a farm?”

>>175452
She smiles in a display of happiness, again showing off her fangs. “Hehehehe.” She almost squeaks. Then she moves closer, places her nose against Silver’s, and nuzzles him, closing her eyes.

Kira comes to a stop, perhaps forcing Neela to dodge out of the way if she was following immediately behind the lamia.

"Oh, uh...sure, if you know where one is. Lead on!"

Gather information, with secret modifier. Neela pretends to be looking for work as a farm hoof.

Unless Silver has something else he wants to do with her, she hops out. Or waits until Silver opens the door, and hops out.

"Here, let me try."

Survival: Taking a deep breath and trying to clear her mind, Kira takes in a deep sniff and tastes the air for any sign of agriculture. Though she gets many unpleasant smells related to urban and suburban areas, she hopes that somewhere underneath them all she can pick out something familiar of farms and animals.

Silver doesn't have anything he needs to do with her, and though he would love in that moment to spend more time with his kirin/kylan, he knows she has to go to work. He gives her a brief kiss and wave goodbye as he opens the passenger side door for her to get out.

Khoi smiles, and hops right out, with a sound of tapping as her cloven hoofs meet the pavement.

Moving out unpleasant smells like diesel and asphalt, Kira can pick up on some tasty smells. Deer, although Neela seems to be upwind, and… yes. Goats. Across the river. To the south. South and south west.

After making sure her mane net and her jacket are secured, she trots towards the entrance, looking back at Silver with a smile. The zebra mare continues to watch both creatures.

Neela and Kira go a few blocks south and then over, across an iron bridge. It’s still a bit urban, but progressing further, the buildings thin out.

Silver rolls up his window and heads off. He sees if he can navigate the care to Curwhinny's old farmhouse, hoping that such a remote location for the car will keep the gang off their trail until his business is finished.

That location is more northerly, close to the road Cherry Hill is on, but much further west. The location is not remote, but is in the middle of new construction. Silver can of course drive there.

>>175475
“Well… it’s a city. There’s a few parks and trees, and a little dirt, but… of course there’s not going to be many trees or dirt.” She trots a few more feet. “That little yard uh the back is the most I’ve seen since I left Lushi.” She says. “In a private yard, I mean. Like on someone’s apartment.”

The two have reached the end of where navigating by dead reckoning can take them. It isn’t clear where they need to go.

It's a good thing he can drive there, otherwise it would be hard to hide the car there. Even if it's not super remote, hopefully it's far enough away where they'll be safe.

There’s no question at all. The smell is unmistakeable. Down the road, to the left, and then the equivalent of a few blocks. Goats and perhaps even lambs. And besides that, Kira now knows there are cervines in the wilderness. Also Neela is still there.

>>175478
One way to find out! Silver can indeed drive there. The lot is a lone semi-wild lot surrounded by new-constructed houses.

Silver finds it. The quarry is still an archeological site, but the farmhouse is untouched. A random carry wouldn’t look out of place, with the archeological survey still going on.

>>175481
They’ve left the rows of houses and have entered the woods. The trees break for a meadow behind a barbed wire fence. There’s a smaller enclosure, a henhouse, a barn, and a farm house. Kira can hear the baying of goats.

That sounds good. Silver parks the car by the farmhouse, hopefully out of sight, and turns off the engine. He makes sure to grab anything left inside the car to take with him as he trots back towards home. Though, as he passes by the quarry, he gets curious and decides to see if Pear Faucet is still there.

She half scrunches, rolls her eyes upwards, and moves her ears back.

“Okay fine, we’ll buy the goats. Have you lived your whole life make to just buy everything, miss money bags?”

The farm house is right there. The lights show it is occupied.

>>175484
Looking in, Silver can see that Pear is indeed in the quarry. She is sitting down, with a hat and jacket on, and her tail curled up next to her, looking down at a set of paper items, presumably cataloguing or examining them.

Silver is seen by a couple familiar stallions, who seem as if they will stop him, but evidently decide against it. They busy doing other things, after all. Pear is looking at pages from books. She’s looking at them fairly intently, and using her hat to block the sun from her eyes. She does not notice Silver, even when he comes close.
