A Case of Unforeseen Encounters; Arpi/Therapy

It had been a little while; a few days, really, since Arpi had spent that evening with Stronghoof and his friend; then there was the morning... Arpi never did find out how that meeting with... Shenks, was it? How his meeting with her went.

That line of thinking lead Arpi to find his way back to the Manor, hoping he'd find the handsome earth pony there (He shook the blush from his face at the thought of the ex-gladiator) and knock on the door. "Hello?"

Livewire paced throughout the Manor, bored out of his mind. Stronghoof had been spending most of his time 'hanging out' with Shenks, as he called it. Without the stallion for conversation, and the lack of any real friends that ever showed up, that left him with Blue Cross. His filly apprentice was still learning, and wouldn't provide any sort of decent talks. As he prepared to stop in the kitchen to grab some food, somepony entered the Manor's grounds, setting off his detection runes. Whoever it was hadn't made it to the front door before.

The doctor quickly trotted his way to the door, almost eager to have some sort of company. With any luck, they wouldn't know he was on sight, and he wouldn't have to kill them to keep them quiet. With a telekinetic opening of the door, he was met with a rather tall, brown pegasus. Luckily, it wasn't the rather tall, brown pegasus that he hated so much. No, this one seemed to be the one that Stronghoof had been telling him about.

"Ah, good day, fine stallion. Sir Arpeggio, yes?"

"...Yes. Who might you be? ...Is Stronghoof in, by the way?" He tilted his head slightly, looking over the pony who'd answered the door. He seemed... interesting. Was this the Doctor that Stronghoof had told him about? Curious indeed... "...Wait, are you Doctor Therapy?" Oh how he was tempted to crack a flirty joke... so tempted...

Ah, so his suspicions had been correct. So far, this pegasus didn't seem to be a threat to his well-being. Best to play it civil, so that he could have somepony to talk to, at least for now. "No, I'm afraid Stronghoof is out with Dashenka right now; Or, 'Shenks', as he seems to enjoy calling her. Been showing her around town, and the surrounding areas, since she just moved in."

Livewire looked back at Arpeggio from behind his sunglasses. He didn't generally like being looked at, but there was no harm to be had from this. Hurting a friend of Stronghoof's would only stand to complicate things. "Yes, I am Doctor Therapy, local practioner of medical arts. Would you like to come in, in the event that he shows back up soon? I could use the company to talk to, honestly."

"That sounds nice." Arpi grinned a bit. "Heheh. You could examine me all you like, Doc." He chuckled at his lewd joke, taking a few steps inside and glancing around the interior of the Mansion. After all, when he'd come with Stronghoof, he'd not gone inside. "I jest, I jest. It's a pleasure to meet you, Doctor. Now tell me, how'd you hear my name?"

The hybrid gave Arpeggio a deadpan look at his joke. It was almost like he was going to absolutely regret letting this pegasus into the Manor. He stayed the scalpel buried within his mane, and suppressed a growl at the flirt. It was good that he'd been patient about the ordeal, as it'd turned out to be a joke. He closed the door behind the pegasus, and followed him further inside.

"Ah, Stronghoof is my neighbor here in the Manor. We often talk to eachother about how events go in our lives, and he seemed to enjoy the fact that he'd met you about a week ago. Something about 'cuddling', or somesuch." Ah, now he remembered.

Arpeggio couldn't suppress his giggle at the deadpan look, unaware of the danger that that had put him in. "Well, I suppose that makes sense. It really is a pleasure to meet you, Doctor. What kind of medicine do you specialize in, if I may ask?"

Livewire started growling within his own mind at the giggle, thinking on Arpeggio's question. 'The kind where I slice your damn wings off and see how many of your organs I can remove before your body decides to stop working.'

"Oh, you know. I'm a bit of a surgeon, dealing in removing any number of ailments that may be plaguing my patients. I mix elixirs on occasion, to ensure that such ailments never plague them again. It's been my life's work to fully understand the inner workings of ponies, and many other races, so that I can more effectively help those that come to me."

Everything he'd said had been factually true. Livewire had just left out the parts where he'd had to end the lives of all those creatures and ponies to understand how they worked in the first place.

"Huh. I see. Sounds like a noble line of work. I've never been one for that kind of thing but whatever works for you, I suppose." Arpi looked around for a place to sit. "Oh... was I interrupting anything, by the way? Sorry if I was..."

Livewire noticed that Arpeggio seemed to be looking for something, likely something to sit on. He waved to the pegasus and led him across the Manor to the main living room, which was filled full of empty couches, chairs, and bookshelves, the upper landing of the second floor surrounding them above. "Oh, no worries about bothering me. With Stronghoof out and about, and a lack of patients for the last few days, I've been rather bored. I'm actually quite happy you came along. Conversation would be nice." Better than nothing, at least.'

"Feel free to take a seat anywhere. Can I get you something to drink while we wait?"

"I wouldn't mind that, thank you. Some water is fine." The pegasus got himself comfortable on one of the couches, looking around the Manor's living room. It seemed quite spacious and very comfortable. "This is quite the nice place you have, Doctor. How long have you been in town?"

Livewire quickly trotted to the kitchen to get some water, returning in fast order with a glass of water for Arpeggio, and a glass of gin for himself. He'd taken a liking to the drink lately. Once he'd given the pegasus his water, and situated himself on a nearby chair, he spoke up again.

"Ah, the Manor hardly belongs to me. Sir Seraph is the owner of the building. I just rent out Room 203, as Stronghoof rents 202." The hybrid pointed up to the upper landing, where both of the doors to their respective rooms were in clear view. "As for how long I've lived here, I'd say it's been around six years now. How about yourself?"

The pegasus took a drink of his water, noting the strongish smell coming from the doctor's glass. "Well, not long, admittedly. I moved into town... oh, I'd say maybe a month ago or so. Probably not even. The war really broke out not long after I moved in."

He sighed lightly at the idea. "So I've only barely gotten to know some of the folk in town. Save for Stronghoof, anyway."

Livewire took a drink of his gin as he continued to squirm around in his chair, unable to find a spot to get comfortable. The pegasus had only been in town for around a month though, hm? Seemed almost a funny time to move into a safe town like Ponyville, just before a war started. It wasn't as though any foul play was at hoof, however.

"Well, Stronghoof is generally a pretty social pony around town. It's not surprising that you met him. And hey, now you've met me face to face too. Not many ponies can claim to have done that. I usually stay holed up here in the mansion, when not called away for patients in other towns."

"What an honor." Arpi chuckled softly, taking another drink of his water. "It is nice to meet new faces, I must admit. Save for that crazy seafoam-green mare I met a few days after moving in, everyone seems pretty friendly."

"So, Doctor, do you have any hobbies?"
