Arpi laughed lightly, then used a snarky tone. "Colt, please; I ooze class from every pore." He playfully stuck his tongue out before sitting down and ordering a white tea blend. "Something like that. Basically, you want to make sure I'm not boring for you? What do you want to know, Mono?"

Mono snikered at his display of "Class", and was finding that he was enjoying his company. It wasn't often that an adult was enjoyable for him, usually they were respected. Not Arpeggio though, he was.....funny enough. "Yea...if you define class as acting younger than me." He said, tipping his imaginary hat before answering his question" Anything is good, just make sure it's not boring."

It was like that beforehoof....I swear!

"Well, let's see..." Arpi took another drink of his tea. "I was born in Cloudsdale and lived there most of my life before spending a few years in Manehattan after school... I moved here for the sake of inspiration for composition... In college, I was my region's Cruiserweight boxing champion for about two years... stop me if you want me to go into more detail, okay?"

Mono yawned a bit upon hearing Arpeggio tell a brief history of his life. While it wasn't the most interesting of stories, it wasn't a total bore. as the differances from boxer to composing was significant enough for Mono to press further. "I apologize for my....lack of enthusiasm" he said, quickly looking around to find something to pin the blame on, "This tea shop makes me want fall asleep all the time. Stupid Comfy Seats."
Feeling that this would be a viable excuse, he cocked his head to the side with a look of mild curiosity and confusion upon his face, and asked, "How is it that a compesitonalist also dabbles in the art of boxing. I don't see how either of the two....connect. Could you tell me more?"

Arpeggio... honestly wasn't fully convinced by Mono's excuse. Either way, though. "It's not... too much of a story, really. Growing up, I was awkwardly proportioned and got teased quite a bit for it. I decided to take up a sport when I got older to bulk up my muscles to match my frame. I didn't want to take up racing because I wasn't built for it and I was never fond of racers in Cloudsdale, anyway." He nodded slightly. "As it turned out, after I'd built myself up a bit... I was really good at boxing. Like I said, my Junior and Senior years in college, I was my region's Cruiserweight champion. With what's been going on as of late, I've begun practicing my technique more often; I think I've shaken the rust off."
Arpi took a drink of his tea, glancing at the colt to gauge his response.

"That's actually pretty interesting" He said, taking a sip of his tea, enjoying the warmth it brought him, "I would have never assumed you having problems since your mouth seems to deter anypony who has a problem with you. That said, it is pretty cool to know an actual boxer."
He set his cup down, and sighed before resuming his talking, "I would like to see if you would be up for a sparring match if you could find time for it."

Arpi grinned a bit. "Not sure if I should take that mouth comment as an insult or a compliment; I'll choose the latter. I developed my wit over time as I grew up... and sure; I wouldn't mind sparring with you sometime. It's been a while since I've had an actual sparring partner."

Smiling happily, he sipped on his tea and was now enjoying it even more. "That's great.....really!." He said with a newfound glee, "I finally will be able to do something other than die of boredom for awhile...which is a good thing."
He set down his cup, and looked at arpeggio with a friendly look. "You know....I am somewhat sorry for being rude to you when we first met. That was....unbecoming of me."

The pegasus returned the friendly look. "It's no trouble, really. I realize how I acted at the meeting. I don't regret saying what I did but still. If we do spar, I won't pull my punches just because you're young. Alright?" He smirked a bit.
"It should be fun."

"I wouldn't expect you to" He repied with a smirk as well, happy about the fact that Arp would go all out on him, "So...what should we do now? Finish our tea? talk about the war? Make small talk? In all honesty I have no clue."
taking a swig of his tea, he ahh and set it down, looking out the window for a second before looking back at the pegasus. He was rather cool to be around, and it did help that he was a charming individual with a little of a smartass quip to his speech.
"You know....I really didn't see us becoming friends at all. Until you opened your mouth and spoke." Mono said, laying back in his seat, hooves behind his head, "To be honest, you had a little bit of a.......prideful arrogance floating around you. It's not a bad thing at all, just not really something I find appealing to my mindset."

Arpeggio sighed a bit. "I'm not usually like that, I assure you; I am a performing musician, though. We kinda need to 'sell' ourselves to get jobs, and that kind of 'air' helps paint that image." He chuckled softly. "I'd prefer not to talk about the war, though. Just the idea of that kind of... ugh. It makes my blood boil."
He took a deep breath, relaxing visibly before taking another sip of tea.

"Is that really what Musicians have to do? Be uptight and arrogant?" He said with disbelief, before chuckling, "Then I have a new respect for you sir,because you do your job well. The clients must be lining up to you like a rollar coaster at a amusement park. Though far less rowdy, and the ride that is your performance costs more."
He chuckled again, this time smiling and happy filled yet again. "Heavens to betsy Arpegi, you are ruining my arrogant namesake by being good company" He said with feignful hurt, "I might just have to resort to being mean all the time if I hang around with you."

"Not so much be uptight but when you have to perform for Canterlot nobility, you really need to act the part." He chuckled softly. "And it won't make much difference, Mono; I've already seen the sweet colt; your secret is ruined~" He laughed a bit, giving the colt a playful tone in his comment.
