He gave Quick a look that screamed 'are you kidding me?' "A crossbow. A weapon designed to shoot metal-tipped rods of wood at others. Maybe to deliver messages tied to arrows-slash-bolts, but usually to shoot at others. It's a tool of killing."

Arpeggio did not seem happy with Quick.

Quick held his composure and looked Arpeggio dead in the eyes

Arpeggio returned the gaze. "What happened to them? Can I presume this has something to do with the 'war found you' comment from earlier?"

Quick looked down, a sad expression coming across his face.

"... Let me rephrase. But first, tell me what you think of when you hear the words mass murder, slaughter, killing spree.... " he replied before looking up at Arpeggio.

"... Because that's what it was. "

"I think of disgusting things. Abominations. Abominable folks needlessly ending the lives of others. I think of killers with no remorse, no empathy. That is why I hate war. I would gladly punish all who desire to practice such an abomination with my hooves."

"That's one thing we agree on. There are some ponies out there that deserve to die, mass murders being one of them. I see a fire in you... You hate this more than anything. Do you know what I am? I'm a mercenary, but not just any mercenary. I only accept certain missions involving very special ponies, and of course protection through the outdoors. . From what I've told you, try and guess what 'special ponies' I mean. "

"Killers. Murderers. Abominable individuals. Am I wrong?" The pegasus was attempting to control his breathing... he was beginning to fear going berserk. He was on the edge, he felt...

"No, your answer is spot on. I would never hurt an innocent pony. Such are the things that separate monsters from ponies. " he replied. Quick then took out a small arrow and rolled it to arpeggio. It was a steel bolt that looked unnaturally shiny.

"... And can you tell me what this is? "

"A... bolt. A tool to be used in a crossbow... a tool for killing, really..."

Arpeggio put a hoof to his forehead, a pounding filling his ears. His anger was getting to be too much.

"... I asked what this was, not what bolts are in general." Quick told Arpeggio. He then breathed in and out slowly, calming himself down in the situation and trying to clear his head a bit from the tension.

"... It's a sleeper bolt. One shot and the target is knocked out within a couple of minutes. It's what I use on any regular mission on a pony that doesn't deserve to die.... It's only fair. If someone deserves to die, like a killer or a murderer, then I have no problems with using a regular bolt. But this.... This is for the average pony. "

Arp could already see where this was going... rather, in his current state of heightened emotions, Quick's last comment set him off. The brown pegasus kicked his chair backwards a bit, the table still standing where it was; he very quickly went into his saddlebags, his boxing gloves going on.

"Ghhk!" He bit the inside of his mouth, mixing saliva with blood, going onto his hindlegs, crouched in boxing stance. "Keep that thing away from me!" He spat the blood-saliva mixture at Quick's eyes, following up with a cross punch aimed square at the earth pony's nose. As Arpeggio had been practicing his boxing technique, he was already preparing to weave to the side and give the earth pony an uppercut to the jaw as another follow-up.

'... Buck' quick thought as he saw Arpeggio reach into his saddlebags. This wasn't what he had wanted to do during his afternoon stroll, that is fighting with a large pegasus. Why couldn't bad things just stop happening at all the wrong times?

He reacted immediately, pushing off the ground and causing his chair to fall backwards. As it fell he threw his legs up and kicked the edge of the table, causing it to fall onto arpeggio. Once he hit the ground he rolled into his stomach and took off for a few meters before turning around and facing arpeggio.

Arpeggio's gloved hoof collided with the table, causing it to crack. The big brown pegasus jumped over the cracking table, taking his gloves off and instead putting on his metal Cesta... which had rather nasty-looking spikes on the 'knuckles' of it. He saw, in his frantic mind, this grey earth pony as a threat, and he began racing towards him, focusing intently on each movement he was making, preparing to move if need be... he still didn't want to spike the other stallion, though, so he considered alternate options.

Quick watched increduously as the table was shattered by the pegasus' might. Now he was getting nervous and he quickly ran through his inventory...

'Sleeper arrows...' was his first thought. He immediatly realized that he was still holding one of them. That was his first problem and he threw it onto the ground away from him, not wanting to be associated with the weapon anymore. His best hope, he figured, was to prove, somehow, that he wasnt hostile. This wasnt entirely possible with the large pegasus racing at him. He didtn want to fight, especially not a pony whom he knew was a pacifist.

Left without any options he ran and began taking off his quiver and any other weapons on him, revealing his red cuckoo sash...

By this point, Arpeggio was too far 'gone'. Quick's actions barely registered as the brown pegasus bounded towards the earth pony with a few mighty flaps of his wings, landing a little bit ahead, planting a hindhoof, then spinning around and swinging a backhand with his Cesta; the non-spiked part of the metal gauntlets quickly went towards the earth pony's temple, the pegasus' strength showing. "HYAH!"
