As Hop started walking, Dusk let his hoof down with a silent sigh of relief. "That could have gone a lot worse" he thought before beginning his catch up walk. He could help himself however, it seemed like she was swaying herself slightly more than she had been before on purpose. Of course, he couldn't help but look for a while before he caught up to her and stood by her side. "S-so, uh...how's business with the uh...psychiatry stuff?" he mentally facehoofed after the stupidity of his question, but still hung to it.

"Good, good. You go insane after a while if you don't get out every now and then but other than that, good." she said as they approached the pond, completely oblivious to Dusk's nervousness. Hop laid down next to the waters edge, dipping her hoof in it an allowing the fish to nibble on it which made her giggle a little.

Dusk stopped a few feet away from the lake as Hop approached it, dipping her hooves in and giggling. 'She is so cute, it's not even real' he thought, letting out a content sigh without realising it. He quickly perked up from his dreamy state and jumped over to her, lying by her side almost cautiously, but much more relaxed than he had been. 'I don't think she's even faking it. She genuinely doesn't mind.'

 

After he lay down, he still left space between the two, but barely as he reached a hoof out and placed it on her foreleg, just shy of the water. "I can imagine you would. I have a pretty mundane routine, wake up, draw for a while before i'm needed in the kitchen, then i'll wash up and spend the rest of the night under the moon while I read, until I fall asleep." he looked off into the moon as he mentioned it as if to emphasise his words before laughing "Come to think of it, I don't really know why I have a bed. I sleep outside most nights."

"And you where doing so well..."

"Wine? Yes. Like wine. Never tried before. Taste good. Like grape. Like grape. Vee-o-let like wine?" he asked curiously, as he continued to sip the drink. He looked over at Violet. "Sorry 'gain. No mean scare Vee-o-let. No mean snakey. Vesper like Vee-o-let. Pretty and nice. Pretty tail too..."

 

Violet smiled at Vesper as she absentmindedly hid most of her tail behind the tree. "Thank you, Vesper. And yes, I like wine...just...don't drink too much of it." She said, looking at the glass in Vesper's hoof before sipping her own glass of wine and looking around to see who else was in the general area. "So...Vesper, how do you know Eve?" She asked, looking back at Vesper.

"At least you have ponies to be around that you can talk to if you want, not me." Hop said looking down at Dusk's hoof. "I'm always on call, sometimes never getting sleep in a night. I'd give anything to have Pinkie stay at my place for a night." Hop pulled her hoof out of the water and drew it away from Dusk's. "I'm really not even supposed to be here in the first place."

Amour shrugged, "Eh, I live a pretty normal life. Bake and design wedding cakes, party with my friends, visit my parents. Stuff like that. My sister used to live with me, but she went traveling." She said, at that moment realizing that her life was pretty lame and kind of boring. She needed to have a story worthy of telling! "Maybe I should go on adventure...I rarely leave Ponyville and if I do, its only to visit my parents..." She muttered to herself.

The first thought that came into his head was one of asking her to stay at his. However, that didn't quite get to his lips as he quickly stifled the idea before he could make something of it. As she pulled her hoof away from his, he didn't go back after her, instead he pulled his own back by his side as he thought about what he could say to her. 

"Well...I don't...actually talk to many ponies, to be honest. I tend to avoid them, I don't even see the cakes that much. Of course with Pinkie there's just no escaping. I'm happy when Equestria is in danger so she finally leaves for a few days" he laughed, not thinking about how that could potentially come off sounding. "But I mean...surely there's somepony you can talk to, right? And why shouldn't you be here, everypony needs a break every now and again. I would imagine your line of work most of all, taking on others problems and all" he finally placed his hoof around her, hoping to show he was starting to feel much comfier around her but without being too pushy. "It's an admirable thing you do, you know."

Vesper looked down at his drink, wondering why he shouldn't drink too much. He decided to take Violet's word for it and not have anymore today. "Oh....Eve find Vesper...in forest....be nice...be friend...show pony world. Glad met Eve...No meet Eve, no meet Vee-o-let..." he said bashfully.

Hop shook her head slowly. "Family lives in a completely different part of Equestria and my patients are too worried about thier own problems to offer any help." she said letting a long sigh as she felt his hoof wrap around her. A question popped into the back of her mind that she wanted to ask. "Dusk, who is Shadow?"

'Uh oh...'

 

That was about all that went through Dusks mind at that point. Or at least, Dusks section of a shared mind. 

"My turn!" Shadow yelled in his mind, before Dusk's head was suddenly assaulted with what felt like a truck driving into the inside of his skull. "C'mon Dusk, she asked, she knows, just lemme out!" he called out again with an unnerving chuckle.

"No, not likely. You forget I know you, and i'm not letting you scare her off." 

"Promise ya, I wont." 

It was about this point where Shadow had begun to form his appearance again instead of just being a collective of thoughts. He always took on the same look, one that was surprisingly similar to Dusks. A darker blue stallion with purple eyes, a bigger bodily build and sharp teeth. Also, where Dusk's hair lays neatly, Shadow's was pulled back behind his mane. 

Of course, there was only Dusk who could see this - be it in his mind or beside him in reality. 

 

He swallowed nervously, his -now purple- eyes darting back and forth between hers. After he stammered for words for a minute, he eventually responded with "What do you mean? I thought shadows where blocked light?" his hoof quickly slipped away from her, tucked back underneath himself as he looked off in a different direction. 

 

(Note: The first paragraph is all in his head, it's possible he may be quiet while conversing in his mind, but other than that there's no indication of anything unusual. From swallowing nervously is his interaction with Hop.)

Hop's brow nitted making it clear she could tell something was up. If he had nothing to worry about he wouldn't be acting strange. "I didn't ask what, I asked who. I know you know fully well what I'm talking about." she said sternly, oblivious to the fact that his eyes had just changed colors.

Hop let out a long, frustrated sigh and stood up. "I need a drink." she stated, allowing some of her annoyance into it. She flared her wings out before taking off and flying over to area where the wines were at. She landded and grabbed herself a glass before pouring some wine into it. Turning around she yelped an fell to the ground upon seeing both the snake pony and the bat pony.

"Thanks. Great going Shadow. You didn't even need to do anything and you still messed things up!" Dusk sighed, flopping his head limply onto the ground and putting a hoof over his eyes as a tear ran down his cheek. 

"And you're not going after her?" Shadow asked, talking through him again as there was nopony around to have to hide from. 

"What's the point, it's not like she'll want to talk to me again now anyway. But what was I supposed to do?" 

"Could've told her."

"To what end? So she can think i'm a freak and leave?"

"That hurts"

"Oh you don't even know." He snapped, thumping the dirt before edging forward and dropping both hooves into the water. 

"Wow. How morbid are you getting? Come on, time to go."

 

Before Dusk could even react, Shadow had already taken control and stood him up, looking back over towards the lake. 

"I don't want to do this Shadow, we should leave her. Hell, we should just leave here. Go back home and get annoyed by Pinkie some more."

"Nope, hehe, i'm going over there and i'm explaining things. If she runs, she's not worth it, if not, then you're set."

 

Confusion time. Blue text is, from this point onwards, in his head. The purple text is what he's saying, in a slightly deeper tone. He still looks the same, however, aside from the purple eyes.

She sipped it quietly and sat down at a nearby table, gesturing for Vesper to join her.

"Oh...brothers sound nice. Good ponies. Like Violet. Violet very pretty too. Pretty and nice. Good friend." He smiled at her. "Fun being snake pony?" Vesper asked, wondering what it would be like to be like that. Being a batpony was odd, but a snakepony was completely foreign.

Violet smiled at his fist comment about her brothers, but her smile faded at his next question. She just shook her head and sighed. "No...its not fun." She mumbled. "Everypony always gives me funny looks, I've been mistaken for some monster who wants to kill...it's not fun. I just wish I could be normal." She said, taking a large gulp of wine.

As Shadow approached the refreshments table, he noticed two other ponies there with Hop. Or at least, some sort of ponies anyway.

Largely ignoring them for the most part, he gave them a passing stare as he walked up to Hop and cleared his throat. "New friends?" he asked in a stern and aggressive, yet somehow suave voice as he held his hoof out to shake with a grin on his face. "I must say, it's nice to finally meet you."

Violet was just about to reply buuut she stopped as a pony nearby yelped and fell to the ground. Violet instantly reverted to her quiet state as she looked down at the mare, jumping slightly as a colt wondered on over.

She gave them both a quizzical look before she sipped her wine and looked across the table at Vesper. "Um...anyway...thank's, Vesper...you're very kind." She said, forcing a smile...even though she was still feeling rather...antisocial.

I understand that there's a risk of getting hurt....trust me, I probably know better than anypony.

Amour rolled her eyes, and let out a huff of irritation. "Why does everypony think that?!" She demanded getting up and starting to pace. "So what are you just like Draco over there? Only talking to me because you want to date me?" She narrowed her eyes at him. She laughed and flicked a few strands of hair behind her ears. "All of that crap about adventuring and never taking a risk," She snapped mimicking his voice, "And then it slowly leads back to romance and falling in love." She stormed off towards a section of the garden that no one was occupying. "I thought you were better than that, Slide." She said over her shoulder.

Of course, the two things that define me were said by her; failures/pain, and being compared to Draco. It seems that's all I'll ever be. And I thought I had a chance, I thought she was different. Ugh, haven't I learned everypony judges. Nopony will give me a chance.

 

Slide mozied over to the wine table, not even looking over his shoulder at Amour. She isn't worth it Slide. She's self-absorbed, doesn't listen to anypony, and won't give me a single chance. No wonder she isn't into love; no stallion would ever want her for beyond her looks.

 

Slide grabbed a glass of wine and drunk it down quickly, and then refilled his glass. He didn't care about the taste, he just wanted to escape.
