Pear leans back away from Silver. She goes so far back that her body is upright on her hind quarters, and her forelegs suspended in air. She waves her hooves around and her eyes go wide as she’s clearly afraid she will fall over on her back, but she catches herself before this happens, and goes back down on her forelegs. She uses twists her body to grab onto her tail, which is straight back from her body, and curl it around herself. She steps on her tail, and then slowly stands up. Raising her hindquarters and moving a step or so back, away from Silver. She looks towards her right, and towards the others in the archeological group.
“Yes.” She says, firmly.

Silver looks at how Pear has to manually control her tail, chuckling.
"Something tells me you liked that."

Pear, still looking down, says, smiles and lets out an involuntary “hehehehe.” She says,
“I don’t know what came over me.”

"Heh. I imagine lot of ponies at university like you, so engrossed in their books and studies, forget that they have flesh and blood bodies with needs and carnal desires. When was last time that another pony has held you like that, or kissed you deeply?"

Silver gives the poor mare a friendly hug to help comfort and distract her. "I imagine your body has been crying out for attention for long while, now."

The mare continues to scrunch, if more mildly now, and her ears are still back. She is standing now, standing on her tail, and shaking.

Seeing her shaking, Silver gives Pear a look of genuine concern. He holds out a hoof, placing it on her shoulder.
"Are you feeling okay, Pear?"

“Heh.” The stallion smiles, and takes the opportunity to light another cigarette pulled from within his jacket pocket.
“Of course the griffin wants to know, first and foremost, money. Not that anyone would ever think it otherwise. That’s why you’re here, after all. Well, as I said before, some other mercenaries fly patrol. That isn’t what you are here to do. You are here to collect information, collect prisoners, and collect bodies. Much more risk, much more reward. I can’t tell you the specifics of the pay nor exactly what each job will entail, as that is handled, generally, on a case by case basis by ponies lower ranked and closer to the action than I. But to reiterate, very high risk, very high reward. You will need those guns, I assure you. As for how you will be paid, while good and foreign currency are under restriction, Baltimare Occupation Notes, per the new law, must be accepted for exchange by every republic within our Customs Union. And our Customs Union, as you well know, states at Ponyville across the Ever clear at one far end, and the castle called hills of Wittenland to the other; and from seaside villages that stare at the forest encrusted mountains of Nova Griffonia, down the the rocky islands of Asterion, the dragon lands, and soon enough, over the sands of Northern Zebrica.”

Cavaliere looks aside for a moment and taps his cigar, sprinkling ash into the ashtray, or if there is a lack thereof, onto the table. He leans back into his chair.
"I don't suppose your city's police would have anything to say about that? This isn't the Frontier and loaded firearms, let alone using them, are likely frowned upon. I prefer being discrete but I cannot promise a lack of attention in a bustling city. As for notes, what is their exchange rate to gold?"

“Firearms are banned twice over. By the city government, with a blanket ban, and by the military authorities, who have banned almost all uses. A license from the military with of course work for the military, but for the local police as well, as our law is above there. Of course yes, if you don’t have a license, you will be in trouble with the police and worse trouble with the military. Discharge of firearms is also illegal and sure to attract attention, so be careful. And even when executing police or customs bounties, be careful that you don’t ‘murder’ the target, even when the bounty will pay out dead or alive. As for the exchange rate it’s… 1,100 occupation bits to the kilogram? Something like that I think.”

"I knew Equestria was going to be relatively restrictive, but I didn't know it to be that restrictive. I'll keep that all in mind." He also makes a mental note of the exchange rate, doubting that it's that generous.

“It’s a war time rule. With the ongoing insurgency, ammunition, firearms, explosives, and certain radios, cameras, and magic items are heavily restricted. Baltimare itself has always been restrictive. The countryside is much less so, given that monsters remain a a period threat.”

She seems to be embraced, confused, a little annoyed, and has an adrenaline rush. She’s okay, though the influence of some sort of unknown drug or stimulant can’t be ruled out.

Silver himself feels fine, the fruit didn't cause any kind of stimulating reacting if you don't count the electrical, magic-like feeling as it must have reverse his age. There was also the strange headache he got when he looked at Posey's face, that was weird. Perhaps he himself is acting as some sort of drug or stimulant for Pear? That's definitely a good way to boost his confidence, saying he's like a drug for mares. He smiles, and pats the petite mare on the shoulder.
"Hey, it is alright. You liked it, I liked it, nothing we did was wrong, and I am certain that any others who could have watched would have wanted to do same with their own mares."

little pony is pat pat pat
Petting a pony’s mane feels nice. It doesn’t feel as good as, let’s say, pressing a mare against your chest and sticking your younger down her throat as she writhes in ecstasy, but it does feel good.
One ear twists down, while the other stays up.
“But.. how? How would you find a tree of life? And why do you keep calling it that? Theres a tree of life in legend, to be sure, but we still don’t know what we are dealing with. The pale mare could have been right.”

Silver won't complain about getting to pet such a wonderful and intelligent mare.
"Curwhinny must have found it, or at least found someone who knows of it. If he was not lich, then perhaps that is how he managed to live beyond his normal lifespan, not by dark magic but by eating fruit from Tree of Life. If he could find it, then I am certain we can as well with our combined strengths, we just have to follow trail he left behind. And my adventuring instincts tell me this is indeed Tree of Life from legend. It has been long while since I have gotten to use them. It will feel great being able to go on genuine adventure again. Again, doubly so with such amazing company as you by my side."

Alternating between looking up at Silver and down towards the ground
“I- I don’t think I should have let you eat that fruit. We don’t have any of it now to analyze. We should have taken it back to a lab and figured out what it is. How it works. I do think there’s much to learn but- from what we’ve already found here.”

Silver hugs the worried petite mare tightly.
"Shhhhh, it is okay. Rosey I think was just trying to get you to freak out, she seems little bit...off. You were hesitant to trust her earlier when she could have helped, and now that she has said something negative you believe her implicitly."

Silver beams a smile as bright as the noonday sun back at Pear. "I know we can. I am going to look into potential job to get some Bits, have some for various expenses including funding this expedition for us. If it pans out and I get money in my hooves, I am coming back to you as soon as I possibly can after so we can get it started. In case it is actually just temporary and it wears off after while, I would want to get searching for that tree while I still have all of this youthful energy within me."

It’s rather cold in the room now.

"Heh, there is more to it than that, but why not chase mares and go on adventures?" Silver smiles. "There is also couple of young colts I am taking care of, orphans both of them. They have...been through lot. I would like to give them taste of normal life, with actual family to care for and take care of them. If I can be father to them rather than grandfather, give them more years of normalcy than I otherwise could...that would be nice."

Oh well. Is Kira has her mat, right? A nice rug to keep the heat in, so just snuggle down on that, curly up, but don’t curl up too much or it might cut off the circulation… probably going to have to let that big goat kind of sit out on top and…
That sound. A door opens, then another, tapping of hooves, a curse in a foreign language, and… It seems Neela is back in the room.
“Damn heater isn’t turned on.” She can hear Neela say
Then she feels a hoof on her scales and,
With an oddly light jump, Neela jumps on top of Kira.
>>177381
“Wait, you are taking care of orphans?!”

A mat and a nice bedroll to sleep on. She's a bit too big to sleep inside a bedroll like a pony would, but it's still comfy to lay down on. Though she keeps up the façade of being asleep, Kira is internally excited that her deer friend has decided to sleep with her. Neela may find that the muscular lamia, strong enough to be able to hold up the deer's weight, is surprisingly comfortable. She's very warm, too, as if she's a warm-blooded creature. The goat in her stomach is absolutely helping with making her nice and toasty.

>>177384
Neela taps Kira's body with a hoof, evidently to investigate the viability of the prospect. "Oddly warm." After a few taps she has her body over top of Kira's, and forms her own little curled up ball. She lays her head and back against the goat, probably because that's the warmest part, and the biggest, most pillow-like part. Then she places a blanket she has taken with her over the two.
She curls up in her own little ball.

Kira has to be careful as to not startle the deer with too much movement. And even a slight tightening movement may be perceived as an attempt at a grip. Neela is not subtle herself, poking at Kira and stepping on her at moments, which may even be painful. Once she lays down, however, Kira can feel deer fur, her rounded snout, and her bloated belly, as she lays her head abd back against and in large part overtop of Kira’s own bloated belly, which is bigger than the deer. She’s kind of small, once she’s curled up into a sort of ball, of a bit of a heavy pressure on top of Kira.

D'awwwwwww. The brief period of initial is well worth it to have her deer friend sleep with her. Feeling her curled up underneath the blanket but on top of Kira, it's a comforting, reassuring presence. Kira hopes it will bring pleasant dreams to her mind, as he conscious slips off into the realm of sleep.

"That will depend, but Orange Sunset will be yours with the army." He answers
>>177398
Neela's presence serves a practical purpose. It actually is cold in the house, and her body heat and especially the blanket help to keep the heat up for her.
Drifting off to sleep, Kira sees herself on a grass covered hill under a blue sky with a single puff of cloud. There's a trio of dandelions sticking out of the ground, and past it Kira sees a figure she recognizes. It's hopper the goat, with his two curled horns, and though he wears no bell nor collar, there is a depression in his fur implying one is regularly worn. He extends his muzzle, as he did before, to see if Kira has any food for him. But unlike before, he realizes his mistake early and moves his head back. All the same, his small tail moves back and forth a single time, and he lets off a "bah". He looks at Kira with his golden eyes, as if in intrigue.

Dream Kira looks at Hopper with sad eyes. She doesn't know if she's merely dreaming of the goat, or if this is truly her meeting with Hopper's soul, joined into her being. She reaches out with a hoof, if the goat will let her, and attempts to gently pet him between his ears and behind his head.

Kira smiles, though the sadness has still not completely passed from her face. She starts to and continues to pet the goat, for as long as he allows her to.
"Hey Hopper. It's good to see you, whether this is really you or just a figment of my imagination. I'm sorry about eating you."

Kira gets to finally pet him. The white fur is longer than it looks, and softer too. He's almost like a fuzzy pillow in how the hairs, when rubbed against the grain, come up in long, soft strands. He looks up towards Kira with his golden eyes. Perhaps it's difficult to ever really sympathize such odd, horizontally slit eyes. Maybe he feels the same about her vertical eyes, which betray that though she may falsely appear to the unsuspecting to be a pony, she's a snake at heart.

"D'awww. You really are a cute little goat." Scritch scritch scritch goes her hoof betwen and behind his ears, watching how you move, flop, and twitch to react to her touch. Kira sighs. "I really am sorry about eating you, and...well, everything else surrounding it. I know it's nature for all animals to eat, be they predators or prey. Heck, even fungi eat the decaying remains of plants, and even plants themselves 'eat' the sunlight to live. But I'm still saddened that...that my survival means I have to eat other creatures. You're a living being with a soul just like me, after all. Don't you have a right to life just as I do?"

Goats don't normally let Kira get this close. Hopper was a little odd in that regard, walking right up to her, thinking she was there to give him a treat. He comes closer, evidently trying to sniff her, before looking up at Kira and again staring into her eyes. There's something oddly accusatory in his eyes. Or perhaps it isn't odd at all.

Actually, Kira is supposed to pick up a zebra (we'll see if that happens...) on the way to work.
I'm not sure what Posey can or should do for the moment.

Well, she does have a magically disguised minion that she can for the time being telepathically command at an unlimited range for random tasks. I was intending to have it come bring the objects that the ghosts are inhabiting, but idk.
>I'm not sure what Posey can or should do for the moment.
Well, Posey would normally be going home right about now to write her report and work on her blockbusting scheme to scam Glass Horizons out of the property.
She's still here because you expressed intent to have the party assemble to begin the next quest here. Idk what that entails for now, but I assume that means it's better for me to stay put.

The other stallion walks up to Jakala, who sits on top of the sled, and sits down next to her. He says,
"Little Jäkälä Kenttä." He says, and places a hoof on her hood-covered head. "If you're going to come along. You are going to need to be quiet. Can you do that?"
"Mhmmm." She says, and nods.
"No." He says, "I'm serious." He pets a strand of her blue mane that pops out from under the ring of brown fur. "You'll need to stay still when I tell you. And stay quiet. There are things in the woods. Things we can't let hear us. Do you you understand?"
"Mhmmm."
"Do you understand?"
"Mhmmm"
"I'll get you some chocolate if you can stay quiet and be a good filly." Jakala starts to wag her tail, though this tail wagging is subdued by the mass of her fur jacket.
The stallion gets back up and says to Father,
"Let's go."
Amber hooks herself up to the sled to pull it, although Father will sometimes pull on a leather belt to move it forward, however, Father mostly walks ahead and sometimes off to the side. While the sled is not as heavy nor as hard to pull as when the other one was full of wood, the task is still harder, as Amber is expected to move more quickly.
Father and the other stallion speak to each other, saying things like "Off we are, then" and "this way," though Amber cannot hear every word. They tend to walk ahead and a bit to the side. Each carries a kerosene lamp. The group as a whole walks north, just a bit to the left of where Amber saw the Blast begin over a hill top, and through an open plain of frozen group and packed, thin layers of snow. It isn't far before she sees that same pattern of endless trees, all lying down on the ground, and all pointing the same direction. A lone pine tree stands straight up, every branch blown off and looking like a telephone pole, save the topmost portion, where oddly even small branches still cling, such that it looks like a needless sapling placed on top of a telephone pole, in the middle of so many downed trees. The adults each turn off their lamps, so that the ponies go forward in darkness, with only the stars, the twilight, and the aurora to guide them.

This place still gives her the creeps. She can't help but wonder if the stallions turned off the lamps because they don't want Vaeltaja to see them, or if they are worried about something else in this area.

He looks down and around at the grass, and then back up at Kira.
Kira recalls, surely, a remark made earlier by that police officer when Kira was at Customs. The police officer, like the customs officers, believed Neela to be lying about, well, everything. Lying about who she was, lying about where she came from, and above all, lying to hide that she was engaged in some sort kind of illicit activity that, if perhaps unknown, was certainly nefarious. And what was the one word that officer could come up with to describe someone like that? A "snake." What creature could be a better symbol of betrayal or deceit, than one whose modus operandi is to hide in the grass and strike you when you do not, and could not see it?
Hopper had known only ponies, and the ponies would come up to him to give him food. Kira looked like a pony. She was not there to give him food...
He seems to look around, or try to look around, at the grass and the sky.

"I wish it could have been different, Hopper. I'm proud to be a hunter for my people, to bring them food and keep them fed. But if I could have it were we were like the ponies, living off of plants and their resources...I would." If her petting is preventing him from looking around, she lets up. Otherwise, she continues to pet his soft fur. "As it is, if it wasn't you, it would have been some other creature. Some other goat or sheep, or perhaps a creature of the woods if I decided to go hunting instead. But it was you, and now you're here with me. Inside me."

The goat is done shaming her for the moment, even if he withholds forgiveness. Instead, he stands there sadly, looking away. He lets her pet him. For a while, actually. It does feel nice. After the passage of some time, or perhaps, after Kira has lost interest, he looks back up to Kira, and jumps. He jumps right over Kira. Right into the sky. And very likely, up to some celestial body, away from Kira.

Kira falls backwards onto the grass in surprise as she watches his miraculous hop and follows his path through the sky. She watches with wonder and sparkling eyes as he gradually disappears into the vastness above her head, going towards the stars.

Kira yawns, and with a hoof wipes away the sleep from her eyes. A small part of her still half-asleep mind registers that she wipes away some tears as well. She didn't intend to keep Hopper trapped. She hopes he'll be able to jump away tomorrow night.
"See you soon, Hopper..."
She looks where her dear friend was sleeping, on top of her coils, to see if she's still there or if she woke up before she it.

Well I meant like he literally failed to jump away from Kira before she could kill him, because she killed him, but...
Kira can feel Hopper in her. And applying pressure to her stomach, she can feel another, lighter pressure. At first it's almost comforting, to have another animal inside her. Then it's too much, too filling. Then as Kira gains consciousness, she can sense that it's actually a separate creature on top of her, which becomes frightening as she doesn't know why it's there, then disappointing that the deer is not in her stomach, and then hopeful because she can eat it later/keep the deer as her friend.
Neela is still laying there, under a blanket that covers her eyes (but not her nose), and still sleeping.

Ohhhhhhh, right. Am dumb.
Ultimately, her desires to have the deer as her friend win out, and Kira smiles at the sight. "D'awwwwwww." Not desiring to wake her and disrupt to cute scene before her, Kira allows the adoradeer to sleep and instead simply watches her.

The deer or the lamia?
Hopper retains a strong physical presence, weighing Kira down, and definitely dampening her appetite for a while.
Neela simply lays there. It's bright enough she ought to wake up, but she keeps the blanket over her eyes. She seems content to lay there. She does not move in her sleep.

Neela's body, though small, continues to press down onto Kira's stomach and weigh her down. This pressure does not cease as Neela sleeps. But with Kira still digesting from the evening before, Kira herself may not be in much of a hurry to get up, and out of bed.

Hmm...a fair point made. Still though, Kira is getting bored, just laying there. She wants to be able to move and fidget about, but she can't as she doesn't want to disturb the sleeping deer. She hums a little tune to herself, tilting and bouncing her head from side to side as she lets her mind wander from subject to subject to hopefully keep herself occupied until Neela stirs from her slumber.
