"...Easy there, pork chops," she replied, scooting slightly towards the fire for both warmth and visibility, before sitting down, making sure not to put any weight on her wounded leg. Observing the laceration, she added, "It's not like there's anypony else out here... anypony who's friendly, anyway. Unless you wanna try your hoof at this--and I really don't want you to have to do that--I'm gonna do it myself."

 

Sighing and letting her voice drop down to a cool purr, she continued, "Look, I've been shot and had to treat myself before. This isn't new for me. Granted, I've never had to treat something quite this big before..." she grimaced as she moved her wound into the light of the fire. "...But I should be fine. I fixed you up, didn't I?"

"Fine" Quiet said his voice returning to a bored tone. The earth pony sat back down not showing much concern for his newly repaired leg as he sat right on it. 

 

"Sorry for being pushy but I just really wanna make sure you're ok. Since I'm the one who injured you."

"Don't put too much pressure on your leg. That's a jacket sleeve, not an actual bandage," she warned, eyeing him suspiciously for a minute before turning back to her own problem. A bunch of the grass that he'd used as a makeshift bandage had entered her wound, and she feared it would be infected by dawn if she didn't get it all out.

 

Turning to her bags, she grabbed the shredded garment, tore off another piece, and soaked it with water from one of her bottles. Wincing as she got ready to daub it against her wound, her eyes shut involuntarily as she got close. The pain that shot up her leg was nearly unbearable; her muscles tensed and even more blood began to ooze, but she was doing it. She was cleaning her wound.

 

It took all she could to keep from crying as she worked the cloth in quickly and expertly. By the time she was done, the segment of cloth was coated in blood-stained grass. Wincing, she turned to Quiet and forced a smile.

 

"R-remind me never to make... you shoot at me... again," she mumbled painfully but light-heartedly, preparing another strip and quickly securing her leg in a tight knot. "That... ugh... that ought to do it... oww..."

"If you can't get up that's fine I'll carry you if I have to, but I'm getting you help and I'm not gonna wait 'till morning either."  Quiet wiped his tears and got up looking sympathetically at Foray

"You're not thinking, pork chops," Foray replied, her voice having suddenly changed to a warmer, yet still firm tone. "You can't find help. You just can't. At least not in the dark woods, alone, and without direction. If we wander off, we're liable to get even more lost, and that's not gonna help either of us." She nodded towards the bandage she'd just finished. "This'll hold at least until dawn. Trust me."

 

Taking a moment to study the stallion, Foray slowly got up, hobbled towards him, and sat down next to him, gently placing one hoof on his shoulder. "Best thing you can do for me now is get some rest, m'kay? I need you -- despite how much I hate having to admit it I do -- to protect me and my belongings. But you can't do that if you're dog-tired, can ya?"

 

Gently using her hoof to rub his back soothingly, she added, "Now go on, get some rest. I'll be fine until morning. It's not like I want to be carried around with a cracked rib anyway..."

"........I.....just...fine...just ok whatever you want." Quiet turned to Foray eyeing her up and down for a while.

 

"Y'know, sometimes I just want to die, Most of the reason I even scavenge from ponies is In hopes that if I provoked someone they would put me out of my misery. The only real reason I try to survive is because of a mare........more specifically a zebra named Ebele. Do you mind if I talk about her?"

Foray stared at him sympathetically. A wave of memories cascaded over her mind, causing her to simply stare blankly at him for a few moments until she finally snapped out of it.

 

"Yeah, sure... go ahead. I don't mind..." Foray leaned back and tossed a few more sticks into the fire, eyeing Quiet patiently.

(Going to bed after this post, good night!)

 

"Thank you, Well I met her in the slave camp when I was 14. I was going through tough times, well at least a whole lot more tough than usual. I was cutting myself on the daily, egging on the slavers to just kill me so I could see mother again. Most of time they just laughed and said "eventually". Anyway, she came up to me one day and we instantly hit it off. Since we shared similar stories Ebele and I could relate to one another on a high level and give each other shoulder to cry on when needed. Ebele also took whippings and strenuous chores for me when I was too tired or too wounded to take them myself. After probably two years later, I started to realize how good looking and beautiful she was, and goddess was she ever. Everything from her long, flowing hair, her glimmering eyes, her elegant body, her alluring mystique, her voluptuous flank........."  His face was flushed with red as he thought of her more "intimate" body parts.   

 

 

"Just know she was gorgeous alright."

 

"A-anyway, after a while I fell in love with her, and 10 years later we finally escape our prison, but as we're getting out a few guards were still chasing us so me and her decided to split up to them throw off. We hugged each other goodbye and I haven't seen the zebra since. I have been searching for Ebele two years now....... I really miss her, do you think she misses me too?"

Foray's mind started wandering the instant he said "prison camp", and if it hadn't been for a log in the fire shifting audibly, she very well could've missed the rest of the story. She'd only ever seen one relationship such as he described before, and if she were to be honest with herself, she was rather jealous of him for finding somepony who cared about him that much. Poking the fire with a stick to stir it up some more, she looked up at him. Her voice was still warm and soft, but slightly shaky as she was rather afraid of giving him bad advice.

 

"I dunno. I mean..." She sighed. "From the way you described her, she sounds pretty nice. And after spending ten years with each other, I'm kinda surprised that your little 'relationship' didn't go anywhere. Probably because of the slavers, I'm guessing... point is, I've seen ponies that close before. They weren't lovebugs, but they were really, really close friends. They both had disabilities -- one physical and one mental -- and they could both make up for them. And they'd been friends for only about three or four years. So..." The unicorn frowned in thought, staring up at him for only a moment before her eyes returned to the flame. "After ten years of being friends, I'd find it pretty hard to believe that she doesn't miss you, or at the very least remember you."

Foray looked down, scribbling apathetically in the dirt with her hoof. "I did care for my family, but like I said already, they abandoned me." She sighed and looked disgustedly at what she'd drawn, before wiping it away and starting again. "If what you meant by that question was 'Have you ever had a special somepony?', my answer would be..." She looked up at him, shifting uncomfortably. "...I haven't. Ever."

Foray stared at him for a moment, shrugged, and took out the blanket. "Your loss, I guess... I probably should've cleared this area first before trying to make a camp here."

 

Getting up, the pony rummaged through a few sticks before finding a pair of sturdy ones, and began making a makeshift tent with the blanket. At the same time, she answered his question:

 

"Less than ideal. The ponies I was traveling with... well, something happened, and they blamed me. I could tell that they really didn't like me, so to make it easier on all of us, I just left. Afterwards, I wandered around aimlessly for a few weeks before stumbling across a Troop 92 patrol. They didn't like me either..."

You don't have to trust anyone 'cept yourself, Though I have been hard pressed to find a large amount of food and water in recent times, I usually steal bits from unsuspecting ponies so I can barter down in New Appaloosa, But things have been slow for a few weeks so I've kind been left in the dark."

"I think it's best to go solo as well," she mumbled, weighing down the corners of her tent with some heavy rocks and clearing the interior of sticks and twigs. "You leave less of a trail, and can't be detected as easily. Also there's less mouths to feed. Though you could argue that it's better to stick in groups due to the greater amount of protection. I dunno..."

Foray frowned in thought... he certainly didn't look this big when she'd built the thing. There would still be room, but she was rather unsure if he'd be willing to share it. Shrugging the thought off, she quickly maneuvered into the shelter, making sure not to bump her wounded leg, until she was laying down next to him.

 

"Sorry if you don't like snuggling, but... I didn't expect it to be this crammed..." she apologized, doing her best to give him as much personal space as possible -- which wasn't much.
