“Let me get that!” He'd fly up, grab the plates, and hand them to you. “You'd think a fancy place like this would have an earth pony style room. I've had all sorts of pony friends, and our living spaces were vastly different. It looks like they gave you a unicorn style room, fire place to read near, neat living with a place for everything; everything in reach of telepathy... did they tell you all the earth pony style rooms were full, or did you just prefer the unicorn style? I'll admit, it does suit you, but some of these cabinets are next to useless to you without some sort of stepping stool or ladder.” He'd land back upon the ground and look in to the pot. “Not bad. I'll admit, I wasn't quite sure how to make it, so I just reasoned it out, but it looks like it turned out alright.” He'd turn to you, smile brightly, and step back so that you could make whatever finishing touches you need upon the food and begin to serve it. |

"Well, I a---" Wait! That was something terribly foolish for Cobalt to say out loud. There was nothing wrong with a disability, but then it would require explanation as well. Too much of it for Cobalt to be happy with. Instead she decided to burden herself with plates, and balanced cups on those plates. She moved them to her table, more than happy to have a reason to use that table. Honestly it had rarely seen any use at all. A four pony table, that she saw no reason to use just by herself. With a glance back at the kitchen, she concentrated on the Cranberry juice bottle behind the male. It shook, but did little else. Another easy mistake on her part, but one that was unlikely to get his attention. Not even a glow came from that attempt, it never did. It had only been a year. "If you don't mind bringing the juice with you, I'll get the pot." Asking as she was heading back to retrieve the said pot. She was going to ignore his other observations. Food was smelling good, and it was time to eat. Hopefully, with food to fill her gaping mouth cavity she wouldn't sound so stupid. |

Cosmo would grab the juice and bring it to the table. He'd sit down in a chair, and wait to be served. He'd smile at Cobalt, and thank her graciously. He'd begin once she had, and after a bite or two he'd sigh blissfully. “That is good stuff. Haven't had any in many years. That, and ration food doesn't taste half as good.” He'd take another bite as if too prove his point. The noisy “oohs” and “ahhs” emanating from this throat made it apparent, as if the fact his wings were flapping, and he was smiling so hard his eyes were closed tight weren't enough of a clue. He'd swallow loudly, and a shudder would run down his spine. “Celestia's curse! I had forgotten how great this stuff was!” He'd proceed to scoop up another bite before he'd stop, look up at you, clear his throat, and attempt to conduct himself in a serious, business-like manner. “So... you want go to Canterlot? While it isn't too far, it isn't the kind of trek you'd want to make on a whim in this weather. You said you had a colleague that you were working with. Is that information confidential, or might I ask what it is you two are working on. It isn't that big a deal, but if you guys happen to be doing something illegal, unethical, or I'm to be used in some lab experiment, I'd like to know what it is before giving consent.” He was covering his questions and concerns with a facetious manner and tone. By attempting to be humorous and keep the conversation light, he hoped that he'd have better luck of getting some information from this pony; not to mention it just makes for a more pleasant evening. |

"Why thank you." A pony would think he was doing something different. But Cobalt would act the lady and accept his compliment without acting flustered. She ate with more refinement than the pony before her, taking small bites of it. It was a good meal, normal but very pleasant. The unicorn could see why she hadn't enjoyed this meal before; it was far too sugary for the likes of her parents. "Ohh. No nothing illegal." Snorting softly as he jumped to such a conclusion. "But with the expertimenting, I do that on myself not otherponies... if needed. Which it rarely ever is." But that had yet to stop her from doing so, her green coat a shining example of those messes. That didn't need to be a factor either, he could find that out much later. Muuuch later. |

Cosmo would blush and blink profusely. He's grin and, despite the fact he knew it was a stupid and immature thing to say, his mind was already too pleased with its perverse self to not share its current source of pride. “Well, I'm sure if you asked nicely, I'd let you experiment on me.” Luckily, some part of him was wise enough to omit most of the content, particularly the part where he inquired as to what instruments she used when she experimented on herself. He immediately regretted getting carried away, and hoped she was naive enough not to catch what it was he was inferring. He'd seen stallions at the salt bars use such lines before, and the mares would just giggle coyly, and before the night was over they'd ask so very nicely. His personal experience, however, consisted of watching such mares from afar on nights he wanted to get away from his friends and life when was working to raise the money to buy the “Ace of Spades”. He'd always be able to rationalize it was the confidence, the audacity; the physique that attracted them. While mares (usually ones much older than him) usually commented on how they wish they had hair like his, it didn't exactly make him the most attractive stallion. Combine that with glasses and about as much confidence with mares, and he was destined to a lifetime of nights alone. Amazing how a couple of months of solitude would cause him to forget that. He suddenly had enough of a backbone to make such a joke, but not the confidence to follow it up. He'd look down at his food, and eat it in a far more proper and reserved fashion than before. |

Cobalt forced herself to swallow down the cranberry juice slowly. Dark blue eyes batted up at the stallion slowly, invitingly. "No, no, not without a degree, sir." Eeeiieee, eeee, eeee. Swooning with all appropriate vigor in her head,but her outside remained very calm. Cobalt wasn't going to take it, and act on it. Internally it caused the mare a little doubt but for now she would act as if she never caught onto his drift. That was the most simple way to avoid trouble... after all, he could be like every other stallion. This mare had her own vision: romance, flowers, and chivalry. Something that maybe he difficult to a pony that may be under her employment. Only time could tell. "But I don't think that would be required again." She stated softly, attempting to change the subject yet again. "But anyother pressing questions?" Yes, it was a repeated question, but a pony had to be sure. It was quite a while away to go. For even bits, he must understand that he could be gone for quite a while. Months, year or perhaps to never return. Judging by all recent events. |

“No, but I do feel I need to say some things that might be important in the future. My name is Cosmo Spade. I'm thirty years old. I was born in Cloudsdale, but have been to Canterlot, and Ponyville during school functions. I consider myself intelligent, far more than might come across. The reason for this is often because I'm temperamental. I feel what I feel, and I don't feel I need to hide it or try to feel differently. I'm a bit spontaneous on the surface, often doing or saying what pops to mind. However, I'm also very self-conscious. Honestly, this is the longest conversation I've had with a mare. There's nothing wrong with me medically. I'm just well aware of my limitations. I've been a bit out of character for me today, but that's likely attributed to the fact you're the first pony I've spoken to in a couple of months.” He'd take a breath, a quick sip of cranberry juice, and then continue. “I've never been in combat. I'm not weather certified. I'm comparatively weak and slow for a pegasi. I often manipulate the weather when I'm upset subconsciously. I say all this upfront because I have nothing to hide, no secrets. There's nothing so important about me or my past that requires all that. I used to consume salts, but I no longer do. I realized that I didn't really like salt, and that all it did was make me sick. I do like some liquor, but only the sweet kind. In fact, I've got a sweet tooth, so when it comes to food, it can be easy to find my preference.” He'd take another drink, this time emptying his glass, and then say one last thing before indicating he was finished. “One last thing: I'm very loyal to my friends. I'll act irrational in an effort to stand up for them, even when unnecessary, and I'll get myself hurt needlessly, defending them when there is no reason to do so. I say this because you might need to keep me in check. A mare like you is likely to attract unwanted attention, and my first instinct will be to protect you. Consequently, that probably means I'm going to get beat up. That's just how these things seem to turn out. Don't be stupid enough to stand there if that happens. If a stallion has gone to the trouble to fight another stallion over a mare, he's probably not going to be satisfied with doing anything short of claiming his right of conquest. With the world what it is today, I'd fear this is more true than it has ever been, and I don't want to see you hurt.” With that, he'd go to put more food in his mouth. He only had a few bites left before his plate would be empty. |

"You don't need to list off your profile for me---" Interjecting even though he clearly wasn't finished. It was a little difficult to listen to him go on, she didn't want to know. Just for the simple fact of not wanting to force him to go too deep about himself. She wouldn't just willingly give out that much about herself so quickly. Likely, because in this relationship she was the employer. Cobalt had a right to worry about being taken advantage of; so she did worry about such a thing happening to her. Though the anecdote was unnecessary, a part of her appreciated what the stallion was doing. Sure it meant little to what he may do later, but it was a temporary cover. Salts? I guess I've never tried that in excess. Can be pretty damaging. Food for thought as she munched on her meal. At the rate she could feel the stomach expanding, she would hardly finish half the plate before her. cobalt was a grown pony, and did not need to be told what to do. Eating was terribly difficult for her, it didn't feel a necessary function. This mind was far too preoccupied with other thoughts for most mundane activities. "I-I yes, bad things can happen. Some males are stupid, but with that I do expect you to have a little protection for yourself. Yes, armour can be a little constricting, and a weapon bulky but for safety I suggest that you at least get something to defend yourself with." Now placated with the amount of food she had gorged on, she took a small sip of juice. "But I do have one amendment to what you are saying. Sure do your protection thing to where you feel safe, but get yourself out of trouble if it comes." Aww, how sweet. He'd protect me! Her inner self grinning a little. "I repeat, that you must get yourself out of trouble as well. If it does come to worse, it is better than a life... And better that one of us survive rather than being stupid. If I tell you to go, I would appreciate you doing so." Cobalt's voice stern and serious. "This trip will remain at most risk for me, I cant have you pulled into unnecessary danger on my part." |

Cosmo eyes would narrow, and his face would would show with his displeasure. “I am a pegasus. I can get from one place to another faster than you, and I'm not even an athlete. If I stay behind, I still have a chance of getting away. You, on the other hand, would not have the same luxury if I fled first, and you were the one whom they pursued. It may be a stupid instinct, but my way we can both still get away theoretically. Don't worry about me. You may be my employer, but, compared to you, I'm better suited to a protector.” Getting that off his chest, his mood would lighten back to a more neutral state. The way this pony could shift mood was almost as disorienting to himself as it would other people. He'd place his front hooves on the table and lie his head between them. “Celestia's curse. I really need to calm down. I'm making myself sick.” He'd close his eyes, and his breaths would become heavier, deeper, as he attempted to fight through this wave of nausea. Before he was anywhere over the nausea, however, he continued to speak. “As for armor, I might wear a little, but I'm no war-pony. Also, if my mood keeps changing, try to calm me down, otherwise I get nauseous like this, and am basically useless. As such, I have to ask if there is somewhere I can lie down, preferably somewhere dark and quiet. I'm not sure if it even matters, but my mind believes, even if it's only a placebo, that I'm sensitive to light and noise when I'm nauseous, and need to avoid both.” He wouldn't add, however, than when he was a young colt, that he'd often lean against his mother when he got like this. As a colt, his emotions were like that of a child, intense and pure, and he found himself nauseous on a fairly regular basis. He had been too grown for that for many years now, and always longed to have someone to lean against when he felt nauseous. The fact he didn't sometimes caused him to get upset, another emotion that would only proceed to make the nausea so painful it brought him to tears, or, if he was lucky, actually vomit. Right now, however, he sought only to think calming thoughts. He was much older now, and had become fairly decent (compared to his youth) at calming down enough for the nausea to subside. It would take time though. It always did. |

"Then I hope you can handle a hard situation." Was this really the right choice? Without much more to do, she started to clear off her own plate. Cobalt would keep it in store for the next day, it wasn't something she wanted to waste. She didn't move off to sulk, but to give the stallion some time. In terms of emotional stability, she wasn't the best pony to be around. Losing her horn hadn't been that simple, with it came mental instability since then. It had quite rocked her mental capability. She hadn't been so temperamental, everything had been so even. Now it just wasn't. She had lived here under the permission of her parents. Cobalt shouldn't be leaving at a time like this, her bill of health was far from free. But what he didn't know, wasn't going to be a problem. |

Cosmo would give her a flat stare and reply with a flat, annoyed tone, “I only get sick at rapid changes in emotion. I'm fine with intensity. Consequently, is there someplace to lie down, or should I head back home now that dinner is concluded, and you've made it clear we're going to Canterlot?” “If not much else...” he'd mutter under his breath. He would lie his head back between his hooves, close his eyes, and continue breathing. Unfortunately, the breaths only served to make him feel more nauseous, and he'd begin to groan. He hated this feeling. It was impossible to do anything while you felt like this. She was questioning his capabilities, and he could do little more than ride out the storm until it chose to pass, one way or the other. He hadn't noticed she had walked away, and was almost more thankful for the relative silence than he would have a reply. He swore, once he received his advance, he'd invest in a set of earplugs and a sleep mask, along with the rest of his adventuring gear. While he wouldn't normally wear them due to the risk of not being able to perceive an oncoming threat, he always meant to own some for moments like these, yet had always either been too lazy to bother purchasing them or, lately, couldn't afford to spend the bits on such a luxury.

"Just stay. I don't want you getting sick on the way home." Cobalt had a basic idea. Once her plate was taken care of, she started to plod softly to the base of her stairs. Quietly opening the door, she walked in. A little bit of clanging, and a bit of glass tinking against other bits of glass. She then walked back out a bottle in tow with her. She placed it besides the stallion's hoof. "Drink." He didn't need too, but it would be a pretty good idea. Or so the female thought. It was just a simple potion meant to help with nausea. It didn't look the most appealing color, being a gross brown... But Cobalt didn't feel the need to dye it another color just to make it look pretty. He was a grown stallion, and could handle something that didn't look pretty. If he wanted it, it was just her trying to act nicely. |

Cosmo looked at the drink, and, though he had no idea what it was, which left him concerned, he knew that if he didn't try to trust you now it would be difficult to travel with you. He would take the drink and swallow it wholeheartedly. The taste was dreadful, but that was often a sign of medicine. As far as Cosmo had read (in fantasy), poison often tasted good. While he didn't know if that was true or not, he used the potentially misleading standard as reassurance. “Thank you for... whatever that was. However... just stay? What do you mean by that? I mean, I assume you want me to stay the night, but...” Cosmo would blush. Being so naive concerning mares, he didn't know what she was proposing. He'd never really had much to do with mares, and had never heard of colts and fillies spending the night together unless... He was trying to be mature about it, trying not to jump to conclusions, trying to tell himself she was no different than a colt, and that this was going to be no different than a sleep over. However, there was a part in him, a part he sometimes obsessed over, but often times ignored, that wished for this lovely young mare was implying something more. Nevertheless, while this internal conflict took place, Cosmo would be blushing and looking generally uncomfortable and unsure. He was trying to maintain a sense of maturity, but the shock of everything overwhelmed him, and ignorance was largely to blame. Edited by JIntegrity, Sep 22 2012, 08:24 PM.

"No. Just until whatever it is passes." She wasn't that kind of mare. Not likely to be ever. She gently took his plate, and sauntered off to the full sink. She carefully balanced it, then moved off again. This time she clomped up her stairs, pulling together her money, and a bag for that money. She didn't count the bits, but slid a large sum into a bag. Quite enough to cover whatever he needed, she could give him that much enough easily. Even with lots of budget room. Cobalt pranced back down, doing with the bag as she did with the medicine. 'It should be enough, you know where to find me." But she also knew were to find him. Money wasn't a huge object to her, but she would come after him if he never returned on his part of his bargain. Well, that was a maybe. It would be too easy to find him if he was foolish enough to stay in place, and her extent of being assed might not extend that far either. Cobalt kept working on bringing dishes to the sink. |

Cosmo would continue blushing, but this time in embarrassment rather than out of surprise borne of a misunderstanding. “Oh, right. Of course. How silly of me.” He'd take the large coin purse from Cobalt. Noticing its weight, he was both eager and concerned. Nevertheless, he made no comment. After all, she was the one who had filled the purse, and they hadn't negotiated a price... “Do you mean here? If not, I don't actually know where you work. I think it'd probably be best to set up a time and place, unless you just want me to show up here after I've made the proper preparations.” |
