private Young love blossoms

[dusk shade 205]

(Yeah. I'm just piecing things together for later with the things that occur in class.)

 

The bell rang for the end of classes and Rampart grabbed his things, shot s guide glance around the room and left the building, heading to the park to kill some time before going home for the weekend.

[Pat.Rio.T. 305]

Silver barely caught a glimpse of Rampart going out the door before she had finished packing her things. she ran to catch up with him.

 

"You left real fast. Last one to come, but the first to leave. I suppose it is the start of the weekend."

 

She struggled to find something useful to say.

[dusk shade 205]

"Why should I be in time or hang around, school is just a waste of my time anyway.. Do you wanna go to the park or something, thats where I'm heading so I understand if you'd rather npt", Rampart said and stuffed his things into his bag. "Well actually in going to go drop off my stuff at home the kill some time at the park, I guess".

[Pat.Rio.T. 305]

"Uuum, sure. I'd like to go to the park. In fact, I could actually, uh, walk home with you... If that's alright..."

 

She said hesitantly. Of course, she feared he would just say that it was pointless for her to go all the way to his house, just to turn around and go back to the park.

[dusk shade 205]

Rampart looked at her and smiled a half smile. "Well that would let you see my house..so why not as long as you really want to", he asked as he hastily adjusted his saddlebags and turned to lead her to his house, which wasn't all that far from the park. In fact it overlooked the pond of the park.

[Pat.Rio.T. 305]

Silver was relieved that he allowed her to trail along. At least he seemed to be opening up more. He turned to leave and she followed after him without answering. A few times she thought to say something, but she decided against it. She didn't want to chance over-stepping any bounds at this point.

[dusk shade 205]

Rapmpart led her down to a modest building, nothing fancy, but decent and opened the door to his home. He sat his bags down and went to the kitchen to grab a sandwich. "Do you want something to eat before we leave", he asked quietly as he started the sandwich.

[Pat.Rio.T. 305]

She looked around the place, it was pretty nice. She was caught a bit off-guard by the question. She didn't exactly like to take his food, but she was pretty hungry, and he was offering...

 

"Um, I guess, maybe I could have a little something..."

 

She replied, looking at the sandwich fixings.

[dusk shade 205]

He nodded and made her a sandwich, with vegfies and some flowers in it, and passed it to her on a plate made of stone before making his own. He didn't say much as was his way as he made the food. He had accidentally forgotten about the dragon in the saddlebag when he walked her to his house and quickly went to release him from the container, fetching him a slab of meat from his fridge letting the serpent eat as they did.

She simply waited silently for him to finish, and then pass her the finished sandwich, not really caring what he put in it.

 

"Thank you"

 

She said quietly, and pondered past events as she sat down to eat it. The dragon, upon being released gave her a bit of a start, and she realized she had briefly forgotten it.

[dusk shade 205]

He sat across from her at the table as the gragon snapped up the meat that rampart chose not to tell her the source of as they are their sandwiches. "No problem..a guest should be grated like one, and a sandwich is not much to offer", he said once he had made sure they had eaten. "I'm all set when you are"

[Pat.Rio.T. 305]

Silver cringed upon watching the dragon tear through the meat, and made an effort to avert her gaze and focus on finishing her meal. He had finished his sandwich before her, and when she heard him say that he was ready to get going, she finished the last few bites she had as fast as she could, and notified him that she was ready as well.

[dusk shade 205]

Rampart nodded at her confirmation and put the dragon on his back as he went to the door. "Um. Shall we then", he asked, still getting used to the way ponies behacmved in Canterlot. He held the door open until she was out, just out of respect vefor wlockong it behind them and walking to the work beside her just knowing the park was probably the best place for them to kill time and enjoy themselves.

[Pat.Rio.T. 305]

She thanked him again, for holding the door for her. It felt a bit awkward that neither of them were saying much, but she was at least relieved that he wasn't saying anything scary. It was in fact, part of the reason why she had remained silent for so long. But they couldn't remain silent forever.

 

"What do you want to do, you know... later, when you get older? Like... a job, or something?"

"I haven't really thought about...for a few hundred years I didn't think I would get any older..but maybe writing since I have learned a lot in my life, maybe I could write", he said. He had no hope for a future before becoming to Canterlot bit slowly this filly was bringing light into his clouded mind though he wasn't sure how. "What about you", he asked her as they walked around the pond.

[Pat.Rio.T. 305]

((Sorry, for taking so long...))

 

"Well, actually, I'm interested in writing too."

 

Silver replied, surprised that he seemed to be interested in the same thing.

 

"I mean, of course I have other interests, but I have had some ideas and I have wanted to write a book for a long time. Maybe some day, it'll be my hobby or something."

[dusk shade 205]

He hadn't really expected her to have the same interest but smiled at the fact that she did, a little unsure why he did. "Interesting. Hey maybe someday I'll see you're name in my personal library", he said trying to more or less encourage her to go for it if that was her goal.

(No worries)

[Pat.Rio.T. 305]

She blushed a little, and thought briefly about the idea of her very own book being famous, Then she snapped back to reality, and realized that this was just about the most normal conversation they had had. It was going so well, and she wanted to keep it going this way.

 

"Well, thanks... Do you... like to read? I mean, anything in particular? A favorite writer?"

[dusk shade 205]

"I do like that A.K.Yearling..and there are of course great mystery writers. But I'm sure what writer is my favorite", he said with a flash of a smile, stopping himself before she could start rambling in about his preferred book genres. "What about you, any favorites", he asked simply.

[Pat.Rio.T. 305]

"Oh, I don't know exactly, I have a lot of favorites. I like fantasy, that's probably my most favorite type of story. I uh, sometimes enjoy a good romance story I guess... Only if it's good though."

 

She said, as she tried to remember any of the writer's names from the books she'd read.

[dusk shade 205]

Rampart stopped for a moment when she mentioned her favorite genres. "Fantasy, huh", maybe I can find you a good book in that genre sometime, any particular series you like", he asked as they walked. He led her to the pond, hiding a smile as he watched the fish.

[Pat.Rio.T. 305]

((Forgive me for my cheesy parodies))

 

"Hard to decide..."

 

She said while staring at the fish as well.

 

"I liked the "Lord of the Horseshoes" series very much. It took a long time to read all three books, and they were a bit challenging to read, but it was definitely worth it. And another favorite of mine is the "Redfence" series."

[dusk shade 205]

"Lord of the horseshoes. A good story. Brotherhood. Comradaudry. Magic. Adventure. Heroes. Evil. War", he can't help but smile at the thought of the series one he has yet to finish though he is on the last book. "I haven't finished it yet, don't spoil it, okay", he asked he with a glance vefor e sliding Flint off his back letting him wander.

[Pat.Rio.T. 305]

"I'd hate to spoil a good book, I don't like spoilers either."

 

She said in reply.

 

"Where did you find him?"

 

She asked, referring to Flint as her gaze broke from watching the fish in the pond, to the dragon wandering nearby. She wondered what other ponies might think if they saw him.

[dusk shade 205]

He smiled at her mention of Flint and thought back. "I found him in the ever free.....his cave was abandoned...he was left alone...I felt a sort of kinship with him", he explained queitly knowing there were other rponiea with dragons, in fact at the Canyerlot school for Gifted Unicorns one if the teats was hatching one...so it wouldn't be too odd for the dragon to be seen.
