On the opposite, Dashenka couldn't even meet Arpeggio's gaze. She wasn't threatened, as Arpeggio was, but more...nervous. Arpeggio had known Stronghoof longer than her, and Stronghoof might like him better, and he was a pony too...she cut off the thoughts by filling a glass withe alcohol, raising it. "To...friendships." she repeated, though she couldn't disguise how nervous she was. Was Arpy a competitor for her crush?

"To friendships indeed!" Stronghoof clinked his glass against the other two's, and downed his rum with extreme ease. "Now, I haven't known either of you for more than a month, but still we've shared snuggles, and walks through woods. I care for you both a great deal, and would hate to see any kind of animosity grow on account of me."
He poured himself another glass, and thought on the situation for a moment. "Certainly there's got to be something that you two would have in common, besides me, wouldn't you say?"

Arpeggio downed the glass of rum, pouring himself another one. "Nnh... I would hope so, but I'm not sure..."
He looked at the griffon. "Um... d-do you wanna go first or should I?"

Shenks gave a tiny shrug. "I...I don't know. I guess we've both got you in common..." she nodded towards Stronghoof a little, before draining her glass. She took the bottle carefully from Arp, pouring as they did. "But...I don't really have many interests? I fight and hunt, and I...guess I'm an explorer. But..." she shrugged a little, looking a little embarrassed and feeling woefully inadequate.

"Well... I don't like fighting for the sake of hurting others, but..." Arpi smiled a bit, pulling a pair of black and gold gloves from his saddlebag. "I did box for a while when I was younger; I took it up again recently." He smiled a bit more, drinking more of the rum. "I've not seen much of the area around here... Just Cloudsdale, Manehattan, and here."

Dashenka seemed to grow more relaxed. "I'd be lying if I didn't try to hurt someone now and then. I've...never boxed before, but it doesn't seem so different to how I fight anyway." She relaxed, sipping at her second glass. "I..." she hesitated. "I've been around most of equestria, and elsewhere." she said, hiding her history for the moment, her voice falling slightly flat.

"Mm?" Arpeggio's ears folded a bit as the stallion tilted his head. "I see..." He relaxed as well, downing another shot of rum. "Nnhh... strong stuff..." He giggled a bit. "So how long have you known Hoofy here?"

Dashenka felt a little heat in her cheeks as she giggled. "Hoofy? Cute..." she said, much unlike herself. "Well, we met...a while ago? I can't remember. Couldn't be more than a month or...two...we met in a bar and he offered me a room. I thought he meant his." she chuckled softly, filling her glass regardless of the buzzing in her brain.

Arpeggio giggled a bit as well. "Heheh... it's been... what, Hoofy? Two weeks? Three? Feels like a lot longer than it probably has. I met him in town and we spent some time talking."
He drank a little more rum, feeling a bit of a buzz; it definitely helped with his relaxation... and he felt a heat in his chest and stomach. It was nice.

"Quite so. I met Dashenka in a bar with her two zebra-hybrid little ones, and offered them a home here in the Manor, provided that they could pay rent. So far, such a thing hasn't been an issue, and with the new wing that Sir Seraph just opened up, there should be plenty of new room to expand as it is." Stronghoof had gone through two more shots while his friends talked back and forth, and noticed something on the rum bottle when he picked it up next. It looked as though somepony had neatly written DME-34 on the bottle. That was odd. His mind was getting a bit more fuzzy than usual from the rum, however, so he wrote it off as nothing important.
"As for the Arpegasus here, I met him at a coffee shop one morning." He laughed a bit to himself, remembering the embarrassing day. "I'd forgotten to put on my armor that morning, so I was walking around naked. That set me off just a bit." A blush started to grow on his face, partly from the alcohol, partly from remembering the time he'd gotten drunk with Arpeggio. "That turned out just fine though, eh~?"

Arpeggio giggled a bit more, blushing more brightly from the memory and the drink. "Haah~ I remember, indeed... such a sexy body~" He giggled a bit, swaying slightly in his seat. "I wish you didn't hide it under that armor so often, Hoofy; you're really built~"
He closed his eyes a bit, chuckling happily.

Dashenka couldn't help the look of interest as she glanced between the pair, her cheeks burning as she relaxed into the fuzzy feeling in her stomach. She took a few more sips of the drink before she sunk down into the carpet, head on her claws. "Well? What happened?" she said, slurring the words just a little, feathers fluffing up at the warm tingling.

"Well, nothing really happened that particular day, outside of what I already said. We met each other over some coffee in the morning, took a nice walk through Whitetail Woods, and he invited me back to his place for dinner later that day. Ah yes, that's right. The dinner. We had a lovely dinner, prepared by him, I listened to him play a bit of his music, we had some wine...and then, if memory serves me correctly, we snuggled a bit on the couch as we passed out for the night. Nothing too big there." He looked over at Arp, his eyelids a bit lowered, smile still on his face. "Not that I would mind if we did something a bit more sometime, hm?"

Arpi glanced over at Stronghoof, half-lidded eyes. He gave a sly smirk, before fluffing his big ol' wings from his sides, teasingly. "You jus' wanna feel these again, don'tcha, Hoofy~" He giggled a bit. "It was very enjoyable~ And I'm sure you enjoyed the wing blanket during the walk, too~" He winked at the earth pony.

Dashenka raised an eyebrow at Stronghoof, with a slight smirk. "No wonder someone was so eager to get under my wings on our walk...hoping I'd feel like your pegasus, were you?" she giggled softly, wings stretching a little against her sides, wincing slightly as her right wing spread out. "If I weren't so drunk, Stronghoof, I might actually be jealous..."
