>>83661"I was just getting ready to go." Sister Ash say, with a bow
>>83658"We might continue if you pay up with some gossip of your own." He chuckles some more.
>>83660Iron whispers to Silver once again. "She is such a cute mare, I tell you." He then breaks the whispering routine.
>>83659"Hello Star, hope you were not busy with Skies while Ash and I were away." Iron smiles. "So, what have you concoted?"
If I don't reply for a while, just know that Silver's going to follow Ash's lead on the mission.>>83661"I believe you still have yet to tell Ash what you and Skies have found out about Comte."
>>83662good thats easier, forget i said anything about it.>>83664>>83665>>83663Dark Star leans in and whispers to the team
"Comte, should be on his way to a meeting right now, we are gonna go check out his house. and see if there is anything
Out Of Place.
>>83666I can only imagine that 'out of place' being yelled out instead of whispered, but that is probably not how that was intended.
"Understood. Where is it at?"
>>83666Iron nods. "Alright. When we are ready to move out, just do so. I will follow." He positions himself close to Ash.
>>83663"Be careful not to explode like back at the mines," Iron whispers to Ash "It seems like a subtle mission and frankly you will probably get angry at his injustices. Stay calm for the team, I beg of you."
>>83666Sister Ash looks somewhat unsure, but convicted
"... Alright then. Shall we head off."
>>83668"I'll try to keep my cool this time."
no promises
>>83667nah he just said it in a different cadence."It's at [inset address here]"
>>83668>>83669"im ready when you all are."
>>83669Iron strokes her mane. "Whatever happens, I will protect you and we will save those foals like I promised. I am not one to break promises." He whispers again to Ash.
>>83670"That makes four of us ready. What about you three?" Iron talks to Spark and Skies.
Let's pretend Silver is already ready >>83673"I can't think of anything to prepare myself any further for this. Let's so, and not get caught this time."
>>83673>>83672Blue Skies, who is in very close physical proximity to the two, says “Of course I am ready”
>>83676Silver looks a little concerned about how he said 'not get caught this time'.
>>83679Iron follows her, not wanting to deal with a peeping Skies.
"Lets go"
Dark Star heads for the door
>>83683Iron follows, wolf head fullplate equipped and police-like tower shield on his armored off-hoof.
>>83686“Do you normally carry those when burglarizing houses?”
>>83687"Who said anything about burglary?" Sister Ash says, a bit taken aback
>>83688“What do you think you are doing tonight, going to the house of somepony is not even there?”
>>83683Spark stays close behind.
>>83687Iron deadpans at Skies. "I thought I already told you my lack of sneaking skills. I will wait outside and warn if trouble comes, if you want to. Maybe Caleb can stay with me or something."
>>83689"I'm looking for information concerning a lost child. I never meant to cause any damage." She replies, although her face betrays a sense of nervousness
>>83692"Let us just say Skies is foreshadowing her own actions." Iron whispers to Ash again. "Let us hope she does not cripple herself with all the stuff she will try to carry."
>>83693Sister Ash is silent for the rest of the trip
>>83689Silver falls back in the group to trot alongside Blue, keeping his voice low so only she can hear. "So, earlier, when we were discussing pegasi, I noticed you seem to enjoy, eh...hmm..." He takes a second to try to find the right word. "...attention."
>>83691“I would recommend just leaving those behind unless you have an excellent cover story. Subtlety is more valuable than armor, and running is better than being weighed down”
>>83692“You has the chance to walk up to this guy’s house hours ago and speak to him in person, or maybe even walk inside under disguise and see if you could catch him saying something he would regret. You instead chose to wait around 5 hours until he was gone so his house would be empty and he would be gone. The logical conclusion is that you intend to break into and enter a pony’s house. You are doing something that is illegal. You need to be subtle. Remember that”
>>83695“Perhaps”
>>83696Silver nods, not really knowing what else to add onto that. He continues travelling with the group.
>>83696Iron is unsure. "I guess I can take it off when we get to the target location."
>>83698“And leave it lying in the grass, hoping you don’t have to leave suddenly when the house starts to burn down and police find it later?”
>>83696>You instead chose to wait around 5 hours until he was gone so his house would be empty and he would be gone. The logical conclusion is that you intend to break into and enter a pony’s house.This was Dark Star's idea. Sister Ash wanted to wait until the morning, and ask about it then.
Even now, she had no actual intention of just sneaking in, but it seems she's along for the ride now.
As stated in
>>83694 she does not respond. She has a rather gloomy expression for the rest of the trip.
>>83699Iron understands what she's implying. "Fine, I cannot take my armor off while walking so I will need about 5 minutes to take it off. Any place I can leave it? I can always carry it on my back."
>>83700"Ash, I need your help removing my armor on the move if possible, if not we can wait somewhere."
>>83701Sister Ash nods, but says nothing.
*Checks alignment charts*
>>83697“I take it you mean you are looking for attention yourself?”
>>83705He raises an eyebrow at her. "Hmm?"
>>83709“Just wondering why you asked”
>>83701"you could leave it with glimmering glass maybe, hes a goodpony."
