"I learned how to talk by listening to ponies around me, I was born into slavery so there was no time for "learning". The only type of learning" we did was learning how to survive being whipped, beat, and raped by slavers and learning how to survive on the small scraps of food they gave us." He shrugged he did still didn't really see the useful of "reading" or "writing" considering he never had to use it all.

Foray's mind wandered back to Troop 92's prison camp, and a cold chill swept over her body. "That sounds... awful," she replied, her voice uncharacteristically sympathetic, as well as slightly shaky due to her shivering. "I can... imagine... how tough that must've been for you... I guess that means that I'm one of the more privileged ponies, having not grown up in a prison camp -- maybe that would account for the differences in ethics."

 

Clearing her throat, her voice was instantly back to cold and stern. "But that doesn't justify bad behavior. It may explain it, but never excuse it. I want you to remember that..." Eyeing him quizzically, she asked, "What is your name, anyway?"

"Quiet Storm" He said simply, Storm wasn't comfortable with revealing his name to the mare, but the stallion was feeling abnormally talkative and considering he had already given more information to her than he would on a mundane day Quiet figured he might as well.  "Yours?" He asked

"Foray," she replied curtly, though not in an unfriendly tone. "That's what almost everypony calls me, anyway. It's short for my identification number, 4AMUL3R109. I didn't make it up... my dad did, so I guess that qualifies as a name?" Taking a short pause to check on the condition of her rear leg, she added, "I kinda wish I was given a name that I like... something like, well, something like Quiet Storm. Not some dumb number that I had to memorize, or an ugly name that ponies forgot over time."

Foray looked down, thinking about something, but not wanting to talk about it. Turning to face him, she answered, "Pretty mundane, really. Anypony who was anypony had a name, the rest of us 'civilians' were treated like numbers -- just mouths to feed. A lot of the time while I was growing up, I was cooped up in this tiny gray room, watching over my three sisters. I was sort of the mom of the group... Mom died giving birth to the third."

 

"But aside from the occasional radroach infestations, and the lightning storms, and power outages, and raiders who tried to get in, and the tyrant 'security ponies' that would steal our food and extort our caps for 'protection', and that one time the roof collapsed, it was pretty peaceful. We got our standard share of edible sustenance every day -- and I don't mean food, I mean what crap they pulled out of the gutters that we ate to survive -- we went to school, and we slept at night. Most of us, anyway. It probably sounds really nice compared to a slave camp, but it was incredibly boring..."

"What I would do to live there...."   Quiet sighed, shaking his head. "So it was too boring for you? Honestly, I would have sucked it up and dealt with it. I mean you're almost completely safe from any attacks, you don't have somepony trying to kill you every two, And best of all you're actually taught to? That sounds like paradise to me why would you leave?"

('kay, g'night!)

 

Foray deadpanned. "Why would I leave? Well, for one, knowing that your life is going to be nothing more than a number on a chart one day isn't very exciting. But besides that, we were treated like rubbish. We were only fed because they 'had to' feed us, only taught because they 'had to' teach us, so that we could teach the next generation, and so on." Sighing and wiping a hoof through her braided mane, she added, "But, that's not the reason I left."

 

Her voice and attitude started becoming more somber as the memories saddened her. "I didn't leave, actually... they left me. They stuck me in a tube and left me for dead. Everyone I knew -- my dad, my sisters -- everyone I thought who loved me just up and left me, like I didn't even exist. They abandoned me and forgot about me. I doubt I was even mentioned my name afterwards. I doubt they even looked back. I had to scrape by on the knowledge that I'd acquired over the years. I'd never held a gun before, never killed anything bigger than a radroach, and there I was. Alone, unarmed, by myself. Just waiting for somepony to give a shit about me..."

Foray sniffed and turned away for a moment; when she turned back her face was expressionless and her voice back to cold and stoic. "Yeah, well, what'd you expect? Me to just give up? Hell no. I was the only pony who cared about me, and I owed it to myself to survive by any means possible." She eyed him closely. "Those means don't include killing defenseless, harmless scavengers, mind you..."

 

Scanning the trail ahead, she asked, "So where are we headed anyway? Some sort of camp, or what? It's still dark, and I wouldn't want to be ambushed at night... at least, not in this condition..."

"Oh no, because killing ponies for supplies you'd otherwise die without is unforgivable. Please compared to what other ponies do to  survive out here I'm a fucking angel."  Quiet thought, giving Foray a cross look as she eyed him up. This mare's airtight morals were increasingly infuriating the earth pony

Foray stared back at him, not entirely surprised but a bit put off. "Yeesh, what's with the death stare? You look like I just pissed on your chips..." she asked in a hurt tone. "If this 'partnership' is gonna work, you gotta talk straight with me, otherwise you may as well cut your tongue off 'cause it'll be no use to either of us."

 

Keeping her gaze fixed on him for a moment, she turned away to look around. "I honestly don't know where we are, and I won't be able to get a bearing until the sun rises. If you wanna make a camp, I can help you with that, but I don't think I can..." she paused to look at her wounded leg, "Travel much longer with this..."

Feeling somewhat guilty for what she'd said and how she thought it had affected him, she sighed simply and mumbled, "Okay, alright, I'm sorry... yeesh... we really need to sit down and have an honest eye-to-eye talk if we're gonna stand each other any longer."

 

Sitting down sounded really good to her at the moment. Her eyes turned back to survey her leg, which was starting to bleed again. Scowling at the thought of having to continue with the ever-increasing pain in her leg, she grimaced. "Suck it up, Foray... suck it up..." she told herself, before momentarily frowning as her mind went to a dark place. "Not literally, stupid..."

The two were in a middle of a shallow ravine, guarded densely by trees on both sides. For a few moments she beamed her light around in the dark before turning it off.

 

"Well, nothing good is gonna come out of us wandering the woods aimlessly in the dark," she muttered. "Not to mention both of us being injured. We should probably get some rest, at least until morning..."

Nodding towards the ample amounts of firewood he'd retrieved, she began breaking some of the branches into smaller sticks for the kindling. "Thanks for that, um... there's a cigarette lighter in my bag, would you get that for me please?" she asked, stacking the tinder and kindling expertly.

"I'll be fine... right now I want to make sure you're alright. Just in case we encounter any raiders or what not, I don't want some pulled muscle slowing you down."
