@@Dapper Charmer, "Well, " He said before wiping his mouth. "I like to wonder. I've been to many places in Equstreia. And I've met many ponies that I call my friends. When I'm not doing that I like to sew, making clothes and stuffed dolls. I would sometimes fix the homeless ponies clothes. I've also made dolls for orphans at a few orphanages. I also like to learn new things. Thanks to my friends, they taught me most that I know. Though some I hope I never have to use." He reached into Dishcloth's carrier and pulled out a straight razor and a small combat knife. "My friend I told you about thought I should learn to use a weapon, so he gave me these and taught me how to fight with them. It was hard but I learned a few things. I also know how to box a little thanks to another friend. She's a heavy weight boxer and she owns her own gym. She gave me some boxing gloves to remember her. They're in my saddlebags with a bunch of other stuff I got from my friends." He placed the knife and straight razor on the table before going back to eating.

@@Dapper Charmer, Rag smiled as he took the seat. "Thank you." He then placed his napkin on his lap. Thanks to another friend of his he learned a few table manners. When Mist sat across from him he started to eat. He smile got bigger after the first bite. "This is very good." He said before taking another bite.

@@Dapper Charmer, "Sure." Rag said with a smile before he got a few plates and utensils and started setting the table. Once he was done he grabbed the candles that Mist was talking about and put down in holders. He looked around a little for a lighter, when he found one he lit the candles. When he was done he went back to thew kitchen. "The table's set."

I swear to god. Every time. EVERY! FUCKING! TIME! When I play raked in solo Q I get idiots on my team. I know it sounds like I'm being toxic but I'm not. I am really not. The people I get teamed up sometimes are either brain dead, or actually mentally handicapped. They are that bad. Look at my last game. Morgana was my shit support. She kept diving in like a special needs kid looking for a damn hug. I would ping danger at a bush AND SHE DIVES RIGHT INTO IT! With games and ass team mates like these it's no wonder I'm still in bronze. I am so desperate for a good team.

@@Dapper Charmer, Rag's eyes went wide with amazement. "Wow! That's amazing. I just know how to sew. So I mostly work in second hoof shops, fixing old clothes so they would could be soled. I also sometimes make dolls for toy stores is I can't find a job at a clothing store." He leaned against the counter. "I have a friend who use to be in the griffon military. But he was discharged he said. He's a little taller then you and he has a large scar on the left side of his face. It makes him look scary, but he's very nice. He treated me like a little bro-"He coughed before he could say the rest of the word. "Sibling, he also doesn't have a cutie mark." He said quickly.

@@Dapper Charmer, Rag frowned when Mist called him a mare again. But he still liked being called pretty. "No, I haven't. I'll tell you more after dinner. For now, I'd like to get to know you better. Where do you work?" He ask, trying to change the subject. While steeling himself for when he told Mist the truth about him. he just wanted to see it was like to actually go out with a stallion. Even if it were just for tonight.

@@Dapper Charmer, Rag was a little dad when Mist pulled his wing away. But he went inside anyway. "Thank you, and I really like spaghetti." He sad before he started to explore the house. He went to the guest bedroom to place his things away. But he kept his doll and her carrier on. He came back to see if he could help Mist in any way. "Do you cook often?"

@@Dapper Charmer, Rag Jumped lightly when Mist placed his wing around him. But he quickly relaxed as he melted under the wing. It felt so comfortable to him that he got even closer to Mist without thinking twice. He was now leaning right against Mist. "Your wing is so soft." Was all he said as he kept walking next to him. To thank him, Rag nuzzled Mist's neck softly.

@@Dapper Charmer, Rag left with Mist, blushing from his complement and from the last thing he said. As they walked, Rag moved a little closer to Mist, his body moving on its own again. "I think I would like that..." He said under his breath. As he looked over at Mist, his eyes trails around his strongly built body and limbs. As he looked at them he thought what they would feel like if they were wrapped around him. Which made him start to hope that Mist would just hug him. But he kept that to himself.

@@Dapper Charmer, Rag blushed. "U-um, well. Alright. I'll stay with you. That being said. Maybe we could...have dinner tonight? At your place?" He said, looking at Mist's eyes and then away a few times. But again, his body moved on its own, moving a little closer to him. "And I've only sheared a bed with two other ponies. Both are my friends. One mare and the other a stallion. The mare helped me when she found me sleeping in a park in Manehattan. She likes mares and stallions, so I got hit on a little from her. But I was still not sure what kind of ponies I was into back then. So she helped a little." As he thought about what he was saying his face got bright red. "But we didn't do anything dirty! We just...cuddled. Same for my stallion friend. When he held me in his strong arms...I knew right then that I liked stallions. But nothing happen between us. Mostly because I just thought of him as a friend. Plus I wasn't his type." He looked down lightly and put his arms around himself. "Some nights I wish someone would hold me. But Dishcloth helps." He said pulling out his doll and hugging her close. It was probably the most adorable thing you would EVER see in a bar like the one they were in.

@@Dapper Charmer, Rag didn't know what to say. "Th-thank you. That is very kind of you. But I wouldn't want to be a bother." He looked down again. His insecurity taking over again. He drunk the rest of his milk and pushed the glass away. "Thank you for paying for my milk. I'll pay you back when I find a job."

@@Dapper Charmer, "I wouldn't mind going out. Mostly because I've never gone out. But first I should find someplace to stay. Do you know any cheap inns? Or any parks where I could sleep? Usually when I don't have enough bits for a room I would sleep in a park. Sometimes an Alley, if I'm kicked out the park."

@@Dapper Charmer, Rag looked down again. "To be honest. I don't know what my type is. I know I like stallions, but because I haven't been out with...any. I don't know if I do have a type." As he thought of what else he wanted to say, he blushed again. "But, I think I would like to have dinner with you. You're very nice and," He looked up at Mist, this time keeping eye contact. "I like your eyes. I've never seen anything like them." As he looked into Mists eyes his body started to move on its own, and move closer to him.

@@Dapper Charmer, "O-oh." It made Rag relax a little after Mid said that. " I'm not really into mares. I mostly like stallions. But you're right. Most stallions don't like...gays." He was hesitant to say the G word. "And I would never heart anyone. I don't like fighting very much. I would be too afraid of getting hurt."

@@Dapper Charmer, "N-no, that's not it. I've actually never been out with a stallion. And I don't think you'll like me if we did go out." He said, still looking down. "Most of the stallions who were nice to me at first, turn pretty mean once they... get to know me." He hugged his doll closer to him and held her stuffed hoof in his.

@@Dapper Charmer, Rag's face when bright read, from Mist's complements and him asking him out to dinner. He held his doll closer to his chest before looking up at Mist, and then looking away a few times while trying to keep eye contact. "U-u-umm....I-I'm not...." He trailed off., looking down again. He couldn't deny that deep down he wanted to have dinner with this stallion. Sometime ago he learned a few things about himself and the type of ponies he's attracted to. But while he accepts that he likes stallion. He knows they they only come up to him because they think he's a mare. So he always told them. And they always changed soon after. One moment they're really nice. But after he tells them they get angry and treat him meanly. Sometimes violently. But because of that Rag has never been out with a stallion. Ever. But he didn't want to lie to the stallion. But he also wanted to see if he could get close to him. After a minute or two, he came to a decision. "I'm not sure if you'll want to take me out."

@@Dapper Charmer, "Hu?" He said as he looked up at him. "N-no, that's not why... I-I'm just not very good at talking to knew ponies." He said as he pulled his doll to his chest. "And please call me Rag." He didn't really like being called miss. Mostly because he's been called that a lot. He took another drink.

Rag blushed again from being called pretty for a second time. He played with his glass of chocolate milk a little before taking a drink. "My name's Rag Stitch. I-it's nice to meet you." Rag was still looking away. Too shy to make eye contact with the stallion. But he did get a look of him before. And he thought he was pretty handsome.

@@Dapper Charmer, Rag Looked up the strange stallion that moved over to him. He blushed a little from being called pretty. And got a worried feeling when he called him a mare. Thinking it would be best, he decided to hide the fact that he was a stallion. He's been in situations like this before. And when he did tell the stallions that hit on him that he was also a stallion, they never end well. He looked away shyly before answering him. "U-um, I just walking into town. And this was the closes play where I could rest."

Idea for the title: "What it means to protect."

The sounds of shuffling could be heard. As well as the sound of someone who was out of breath. If someone where to see where the sounds were coming from, they would find a pony who was all gray. And they were also wearing a dress. At one look the pony would look like a cute young mare. But if you were to get a closer look, you would find out that the mare, really wasn't a mare. But a stallion, so frail and dainty that it put some mares to shame. The stallions name was Rag Stitch. And the ragdoll, hanging in a carrier that looked meant for her, was placed around him and hanged at his side. The dress he was wearing was a old white that was slightly faded. It was a normal sundress with mid length straps that showed off his caller bone delicately The dress was also covered in many patches of grays, faded whites and grayish blues. But somehow it seemed to suite it perfectly, as well as the mare like stallion wearing it. We trotted though the streets, looking for someplace he could rest. Lucky for him he came to find a bar called the Drunk Mule. Normally he would more worried about interring a place like a bar that seemed to belong to the local gangs and all around tough pony. But he was to weary to think too much on it. He opened the door and stepped inside. Looking around lightly before stepping quickly over to the counter to place an order. "Chocolate milk please." He asked the bar keep in a shy voice, still making it hard to spot him as a stallion.

@@Dapper Charmer, Lets not plan everything. Just set it up and well go from there. And here he is. Rag Stitch.

@@Dapper Charmer, I'm up for this. I got two stallion OCs who I like using for m/m romances. One, a country pony who pulls trains and makes moonshine. And he's a little bigger then Big Mac. The other is a frail, shy stallion with a sad backstory, a child like wonder of everything and he likes to wear dresses. Ergo, a trap. Who I think would fit your OC better, Strong bat pony protecting a shy stallion who looks and sometimes acts like a mare.

@@Octavia's Bow, "Thank ya kindly." She said, taking off the other hat and putting her back on. "It was my da's before he past. So it's very important to me. I always where it when I train and when I walk into a ring. I place it on the turnbuckle of my corner so it'll seem like he's always there cheering me on. Anyway. May I have your name miss...?"
