It had been a little while since he'd encountered that military pony... the one with the injuries. The brown pegasus had been rather frustrated for the next few days afterward.

"Rrhh..." Even that day, he still felt a burning in his mind at the idea of what had happened. "Bloody freaking... what right does he have to tell me to still my tongue? I don't give a damn if he's fighting like that; he has no right to dismiss that like that." He walked through town, barely looking at where he was going.

It was another sunny day in ponyville as Quick Colt strolled down the streets. He had already stopped in the local bar and checked for any assignments or even rumors. He had gotten excited at the prospect of finding a job and had even taken his rather large crossbow with him. Unfortunately for Quick, there were none.

In the end he had decided to take a stroll down a random lane in ponyville. After all, when was the last time he had done such a thing? Nature was always a big thing for him and he had regretted every sunny day that he hadn't spent taking an afternoon stroll.

The earth pony looked up at the sky. He noticed that even with the war going on the pegasi team were still getting their jobs done, something he should probably pay them a visit later on for. However, Quick didn't realize where he was going and accidentally bumped into another pony.

"Oof! "

"Awk!" Arpeggio yelped a bit as he clunked heads with the earth pony, who was equal in height to him. "Ouch... sorry about that. I should've been paying attention..." He looked up and noticed Quick's outfit, cursing in his mind. 'Not this again... I have no patience for another 'argument' like before...' "...My name's Arpeggio. My apologies for crashing into you."

Quick shook his head before realizing what he had just done. He opened is mouth to apologize, but it seems the other pony bear him to it. It was rather odd that a pegasus was his height, most of them were below him and he usually had to look down. He thought it was a nice change for once.

"No no... I apologize. I was merely admiring the weather pegasi team's work today. Marvelous isn't it? Ack! But where are my manners! Name's Quick Colt, and it's a pleasure to meet you Arpeggio. " he replied.

"They did do a pretty good job today..." He seemed a little... tense. "And likewise. Ah..." He dusted off one of his cuffs. "Pardon my asking but you have a very unusual outfit... Can I ask what you do?"

Quick nodded one last time at the clear skies before returning his gaze to the pegasus infront of him. He seemed off for some reason, but Quick paid little attention to that.

"Ah yes, well that honestly depends. I don't whatever somepony asks me to do. "He replied rather jovially.

"...Like... what? A mercenary? Because..." He gestured to the crossbow. "...I can imagine that that's not used to send message scrolls a long way."

He really wasn't liking where this could possibly go... he was glad he remembered to have his boxing gloves in his saddlebag.

Quick frowned slightly. He didn't much like it when others brought up his crossbow, no matter who they were. It was an old bow that was precious to him, and he treated it as a brother.

"Well... Yes, I do use it for the frequent assignment. You may call me a mercenary if you want, but any title is fine nonetheless." he replied.

"I see..." Greeeeat... Arpeggio had a pretty good idea of why this mercenary was here. "...I'm guessing I know why you're here..." He sighed lightly. This wasn't going to end well. "I'm a musician, myself..."

"Ah a musician! You know I probably would have tried to learn how to play the cello if I wasn't doing what I do. " he replied.

Quick almost smirked at Arpeggio comment regarding his current residency in ponyville. He really did know little to nothing about Quick, something that the earth pony knew.

"... Oh do you now? Go ahead and guess then, why am I here taking a relaxing stroll through ponyville wonderful streets? "

Arpeggio gave Quick a very unamused look. "Considering the war going on, along with the fact that Canterlot is very close to here, along with your being a mercenary, I can only assume that you're here as a transitionary time before you go to fight. Am I not right?"

"... Actually, you are closer that you think. You see, I have a sister nearby, a Silver Colt, who moved here around three months ago. When the war started in got worried and decided to rent an apartment out here, just in case I would need to defend her. Things are tough out there ya know? War is never something to joke about and I've gotta take all the precautions necessary of course, but that doesn't mean I won't be looking for an assignment along that way. " he replied.

"I see... Haah... I hate war. Already got into an argument with a soldier over that a few days ago. It's frustrating... and I think I met your sister once. Wasn't long after I moved into town."

He sighed again. "Pardon me for being a little irate but it's rather annoying getting verbally attacked for your beliefs."

"... Well then I'm sorry for badgering you with them. Any friends of Silver is a friend of mine, makes you all the more merrier in my eyes...." he replied, even going as far as chuckling at his last statement before changing to a dead serious tone.

"Though it seems we do agree on one thing.... War is terrible, though I won't continue there, lest you get more irritated at ponies of my trade. "

Arpi shook his head. "Would be hard to make me any more so. I grew up in a community that seemed to glorify... domination, violence, military... I hated it. I was different and was always insulted for it. I'm pacifistic. I hate this whole damn war."
