Another day, another run through the routine. Coeur stretched slightly as he made his way through Canterlot; the prince was taking a break from his daily training to rest for a moment and catch his breath.
Thus far, things had been uneventful but certainly worth observing. He'd been watching the Equestrian Guard and the Lunar Guard on their patrols.
Right now, though, there weren't any nearby to observe, so he simply sat down on a bench, taking in he sun.

Quick wandered through the city idly, his crossbow on his back, his typical thousand-yard-stare seeming to pierce through his surroundings. He had no objective here, nor did he even remember why he was in Canterlot. Things were becoming a haze to him, and although he tried to clear his head, he continuously failed to do so. Quick ended up sitting at a park bench, massaging his temples. He didn't even notice the pony besides him as he mumbled incessantly, barely audible to even his own ears.

Well. This was certainly interesting. Coeur tilted his head slightly, glancing over the grey earth pony. He had a fighter's build, for sure... he seemed rather off, though.
"Something the matter, fella?" He took care to not spook him; the last thing he wanted was to freak out one of the locals.

Regardless of any intentions of any nearby ponies, Quick jumped at the sudden noise and one f his hooves even moved back a bit to grab his crossbow. However, it stopped at the bow when he realized that it was just another pony, and not something else. He turned to the pony, quickly blinking away his distant stare and smiled.
"Nah... just thinking, is all."

Coeur tensed slightly when Quick reached for his weapon, readying to draw Alraune, but relaxed when he did.
"Are ye sure? You seem rather troubled. If you are thinking, it seems to be weighing on you quite hard."
The unicorn smiled slightly. "Care to tell? I'm happy to lend an ear."

He hesitated, not really knowing this pony, but cracks were beginngin to show in his own mask. Years of conditioning were starting to be pushed aside in favor of simply finding a awy out of his own hellhole.
". . .It's. . . just a few things that keep coming up. It's nothing major." he told the other pony, a lying tone in his voice, and Quick knew it.
"I'm Quick Colt, and you?"

"Coeur Greystone. Well met, Quick."
Coeur could tell he was lying, easily. This one had seen combat, but he didn't seem to have the warrior's spirit, as the Whinn called it, that helped abate the aftereffects of seeing so much battle.
"Are you sure? You seem tense..."

Quick nodded, looking away, still into the distance. "Just had an extra cup of coffee, is all. I get a bit jittery." he told Coeur. He only hoped that the pony was persistent enough to see through his lies. After all, Quick couldn't just go out telling everypony about his issues. They needed to be found slightly trustworthy first.
"So, where are you from, Coeur?"

Coeur wasn't buying it. This pony was doing a piss-poor job of hiding his issues.
"Whinns. I'm a warrior from there." Did this one know exactly who he was talking to? Probably not by the look of things.

Quick gave Coeur a look. There had been word of some kickass mercenary in the field from Whinns, but he had only found that out after the war. His luck wasn't THAT bad. . . was it? He gave an exasperated sigh and leaned back in his chair, looking up at the sky.
"You're Coeur, Greystone, Prince of the House of Whinns, aren't you." he told Coeur.

"Aye, that I am. Prince Coeur Greystone of Whinns, at your service." He chuckled slightly. "By your tone, ye don't sound happy to realize that. Now what's wrong?"

"I see. . ." he finally replied after a pause. "I'm less 'excited' and more just noting the fact that you actually exist and aren't just another false rumor." he told Coeur truthfully, still not thrilled.
"As for what's wrong. . . that's nothing too important." he told Coeur.

Coeur laughed a bit. "A false rumor? What the 'ell have you been hearing about me?"
The unicorn shook his head. "...Ah'd disagree. Yer eyes look glazy and you seem like you haven't slept well in quite a while. Tell me what's going on."

"Walk into any bar and mention just your first name. Just watch the bartender make up some crazy story about rocks being smashed upon being within your presence. It's. . . annoying." he told Coeur.
Quick froze for a moment after Coeur listed some of his symptoms, and he didn't relax at all. ". . . is it really that obvious?"

"...Damndigaeth. I expected stories but nothing like that. Tha's just idiotic... I'm not my dad! I don't even know any Earth Magic!"
He sighed lightly, then looked at Quick. "It is. To me, at least. Yer not the first I've seen with that, either. A lot of the soldiers I saw that survived the war had similar symptoms, lad."
