>>83508"That sounds rather complicated." Iron is confused but gets the gist that marriage is just for show to others to commemorate their love, which seems stupid for him. "So, why do you separate mares and stallions that are unmarried, then?"
>>83509"To discourage sexual contact outside of marriage"
>>83506I look up from my glass for a second and back down.
"I don't believe I ever got an answer to my original question."
>>83506"Yea it can get very frustrating."
>>83511"What is you original question?"
>>83510"What is considered sexual contact exactly?" Iron has a feeling of disbelief. No sexual contact, at all? That should frustrate people.
>>83513"Do you believe we deserve to be stuck here?"
>>83512"You will have to deal with much, much worse than that if you wish to make the people of Baltimare follow you"
>>83514"If you have to ask that question, it probably is. Any form of sex or sodomy"
>>83515"I.... Don't understand your meaning"
>>83506And this, children, is why I leave politics to the professionals.
>>83515"What Do you mean stuck here?"
>>83516Iron is a bit abashed, a little blush forming on his cheeks. "Is petting a form of sexual contact, then?"
>>83517>out of character>>83519She looks at him strangely
"Is 'petting' a euphemism?"
>>83516"I'm looking for how you see us. Do you think we are prisoners that need to be kept here awaiting our fate?"
>>83518"We are either changeling food or force labor now. Unless you are lucky enough to find favor with the Black Hooves."
>>83521"What? Stop speaking in metaphor. What are you talking about? Who are you talking about?"
>>83520I've already said I suck with politics and debating, so however much I suck as Silver at politics and debating is as much him sucking as me sucking. I'd be a detriment to the National Socialist cause if I took a public roll for it.
>>83520"Uh, I do not think so? I can show you what I mean if it makes it clear for both of us." Iron tentatively strecthes his foreleg to pat Marey.
>>83522"I'm not being metaphorical. Equestrians, in your eyes, are we prisoners of war? Do we deserve to be stuck here?"
>>83516"oh i know."
>>83521>>83525"we arent prisoners the black hooves freed us from celestia's yoke."
>>83524A look of concern and fear
>>83525"I don't know what 'stuck' means. Prisoners of war are prisoners of war and non POWs are not POWs. Equestrians are prisoners of war if they are prisoners of war and they are not prisoners of war if they are not prisoners of war. i don't understand your question"
>>83526"ooh, that's clever"
>>83523Nah, you're doing fine enough
>>83527"Apparently this was too hard of a question. Let me simplify it. Do you hate us?"
>>83527Now it's my turn to use:
>implyingTrust me, I know how much I suck.
>>83528"I am not sure of the meaning of 'us,' but I have a special hatred in my heart for all of those who hate me. Repaying them in kind is what keeps me going in life"
>>83530"Nevermind. You are turning simple questions into challenging problems for yourself. It is a simple yes or no question. But forget I asked."
>>83527Iron does the unthinkable. He starts to caress Marey's mane and head in a small continuous stroke. Left and right his hoof strokes her mane, ruffling her mane slightly.
>>83529Are you kidding? Your dialogue has been amazing. I am jealous.
>>83536Iron is spooked by her outburst. He retracts his hoof. "Sorry! I just wanted to know if that is considered sexual contact." He drops down to his knees, completely ashamed. "Please forgive my actions."
>>83538Iron thinks it has violated the rule Marey had just said. He keeps his head down and body is prone, begging for forgiveness. He does not speak for the time being, just in case he says something stupid.
>>83541"I am asking for forgiveness from my sexual contact against you. Please, forgive me." Iron's muzzle is now touching the floor, not daring to move from his prone position.
>>83543"That's not... sexual contact
Except to a third wave feminist"
>>83542"Go on"
>>83544Iron's eyes look up to Sister Marey. "Are you sure? You seemed uncomfortable by my demonstration of petting." He does not stand up just yet.
>>83544"the Duke Cares more about his subject more than celestia dd."
>>83546"I think that could get far with them if they believed that. I think that what Silver wants is proof that the Blackhooves do indeed care for their mainland Equestrian subjects. That is what he wants most. To feel cared about. I'm just here as an expression of my eternal hatred for all manner of social progressives and because nowhere else would take me. I'm not very good at this 'caring' business"
>>83545"Because it's strange to just start touching a mare you don't know well"
>>83547"hatred is justified, but we also need love."
>>83547"Oh." Iron looks around, now a brighter shade of red appearing on his cheeks. He looks back at Marey. "How far could I have pet you in your body without it being considered sexual contact?" He stands up as he says this.
>>83548"love for our fellow ponies no matter if they are unicorns,pegasi or earth ponies."
>>83549It's her turn now to turn a bright red. Eventually, she manages to say the following
"No touching of the genitals"
This is exactly as awkward and as difficult an exchange as you would expect to have with a
nun>>83548>>83550She looks at him
"And that is why shall be a more public face of the Blackhooves"
>>83552"And that is why you shall be a more public face of the Blackhooves"
>>83553"hmmmmmmmmm. you think i can do it?"
>>83552Well, it's kinda fun to RP this scene tbh. Sorry Iron, but endure just a bit longer aka 10 IRL minutes.Iron cocks his head, blush still present from his exaggerated apology. "You mean you could touch a mare's hindlegs and even flanks without it being considered sexual contact?"
>>83554"All I can say for sure is that I cannot"
>>83555"Maybe its best to just not touch mares"
>>83556Iron pouts. "But I like touching mares." He shakes his head and hugs Marey. "Thank you for your kindness and patience. You are a nice mare, Marey."
>>83557I think they're not screaming rape because Iron's a big boi.
