It was the middle of Spring in the Emerald Isles, and the famed Archaeologist and Historian, Ripple Twist, was busy excavating some ancient ruins that recently been discovered. She had set some samples of rock and gems she had found to be dated in later days, while she continued to unearth the ruins. 

About mid afternoon on the third day, Ripple would look up from her digging spot to see a grey mare looking at the rocks and gems she had set aside. Trotting over to them, she would ask "Excuse me miss, I don't seem to recognise you as a part of my team, may I ask what you are doing here?"

The grey earth pony mare was inspecting the rocks carefully before slowly turning to look over at Ripple. She seemed almost emotionless as she looked to Ripple there before saying, "Looking at the rocks." in an almost deadpan tone, one lacking emotion. It wasn't...cold, it was just emotionlessness. She blinks a few times as she looks to Ripple.

She would set them down before walking on over to the ruins. She focuses on the rocks surrounding the ruins and provides an almost exact date to the ruins itself. To add she says, "There is more history than the ruins." she said, holding a rock and looking at it.

She would follow her "Well yes, I expect there to be some remains from the Paleontology Age, but I am a mere archaeologist and historian, Paleontology isn't my field" she would say, "But if you can help, I would greatly appreciate it...oh where are my manners, my name is Ripple Twist"

Maud walked closer to Ripple Twist. 
"My name is Maud Pie." she said to her, slightly looking at her with an eyebrow raised but only slightly. "Rocks can tell a story that of which is mostly forgotten." she picks up a rock, inspecting the cracks on it. "This one was formed around 1500 years ago."

"Interesting" she continues putting notes down "Would you like to be credited in my findings? I like to be factual and to give credit to who ever helps me" she'd say, looking the mare over. To many she may seem plain and ordinary, but there was something about her that fascinated Ripple.

Ripple smiles and wrote down a note to credit Maud "This rock, is 1500 years old, predating even the Princesses, but this ruin..is much more recent than that..how are you with dating things like pottery and the such?" she would ask her, "I know clay isn't very much like rock, but it has minerals and such, correct?"

”I am into rocks, minerals, plate tectonics, geology but as for the clay it is obviously more recent but the condition of it portrays that it is a few centuries old due to the cracks and erosion.” Maud replies in a monotone but calmly.

She'd smile and watch Maud put the pottery down "Are you sure? Well okay, but at least keep the rock, I'm sure there's plenty more around here I can find" she'd say to her and nod a little "And yes, Cider sounds does sound good, or a colder drink, who knows" she'd say, "you don't mind me looking like this do you? I can refreshing up a bit first if you'd prefer"

Around there would be many ponies in this area. Lots of ponies were at the pub drinking and getting hammered, there was a group of stallions messing around and a few were about the place passed out from drinking. Maud seems to not notice that as she looks to her, "As long as I want to." Maud replies.

Maud sat down next to her and drunk some of the cider there. She seemed to enjoy it for sure. "I would expect nothing less. The cities don't have a lot of rocks and interesting features." Maud said, never seeing the appeal in the city itself.

Ripple would nod at that "Oh you're right there, everything is so.. uniform" she'd say with a shudder "not to mention, always so loud and busy" she would smile a little, but then frown as a particularly intoxicated stallion would soon approach them,

"Hey there missy" he'd say to Maud, "What's a cutie like you doing here?", an obvious attempt at flirting and trying a old pick up line.

Ripple just looked at him deadpan "Excuse me, but if you could please leave my friend alone, that would be much appreciated"

Maud looked to the stallion with a rather blank expression on her face. "I am conversing with someone here about this town." she said in a rather deadpan or dry tone. Drunk stallions certainly weren't something she were really fond, let alone finding attractive.

"Aww come on missy, what if I buy you a drink?" He'd insist, while Ripple just stood up and poured her cider all over him

"I suggest you sober up and move on, my former husband was a Canterlot Guard, and I am sure some here may remember serving with him" she'd say, looking to a few she had recognised, who had begun to rise.

"Geeze, uptight much, fine, I'll go" the stallion says as he is then 'escorted' out by the guards.

"Bartender, a whiskey please, I seemed to have wasted my cider" Ripple would say with a slight sigh.
