@@Starshine, 

Vincent could tell he`d made the mare upset by telling her about just how bad his wing was, noticeing a crestfallen expression. "Hey, it`s alright. Sure, it sucks that my wing got messed up, and i`m gonna miss zooming around like I use to and all the long trips, but honestly, i`m lucky i`m still alive, let alone my wing will heal." he gave a small smirk "Besides, i`m suppose to be a big tough Griffin. Can`t have ya feeling all upset about me."

 

At the comment on the muffins, Vincent gave a lighthearted chuckle "Heh, i`ll keep that in mind thanks." Vincent finished his own meal, licking his talons clean before finishing his drink. At her question, Vincent took a moment to think it over. "Not really, no. What about you?" he asked curiously. He would probrably head home soon, assumeing something else didn`t come up.

Autumn Glow giggled at Vincent's attempt to comfort her. The griffon was nice enough, it was unfortunate that she was not... She stopped the line of thought. She quickly paid for her meal and motioned to Vincent to follow her outside. The place had became rather cramped for her.

 

Outside, Autumn Glow took in a deep breath. "Whew! This night air is lovely, don't you think?" She laughed heartily. "I never really like closed space like that. Hm, I don't have any plan for the night, but you should get some rest for tomorrow. Can't show up to Raspberry's place all sleepy and wobbly, right?"

@@Starshine,

 

Vincent set the bits down to pay for his meal,plus a nice tip, before moving to follow Autumn outside. As she spoke, he gave a light smile "Yeah, I know what ya mean. Flying at night is the best." he said with a smile, looking up at the night sky, smiling as he enjoyed the evening breeze. As the mare spoke of not liking closed spaces, he nodded. He could understand that. he just hoped he hadn`t made her uncomfortable. "Yeah, you`re probrably right. Still, I had fun. We should hang out again sometime." he said, glancing at her with a friendly smile. He`d noticed a contemplating look on the mare`s face earlier, just before they left, but he hadn`t thought to ask about it.

@@TheLineTrotter,

 

Autumn Glow returned the smile. "Yes we totally should! As long as I'm not busy taking care of my mom, of course." She grinned happily. It was nice to feel that Vincent had regarded her in a friendly way. "Anyway, I guess it's time for me to leave. See you later, Vincent! Good luck with Raspberry" With that said, she flapped her wings and flew to the east, away from the city center. She sighed contentedly as the wind blew her mane and tail, today was a good day.

[TheLineTrotter 100]

" See ya, Autumn." He wondered what exactly was wrong with her mom... well, wasn`t like he could ask now. He watched her take off, feeling a pang of jealousy at her flight, before walking off. It took him awhile to get home, and when he did he was exhausted. It`d been a fun day, all and all. Pickpockets, collapseing ponies, ice cream... he basically collapsed onto bed, simply closing his eyes and allowing himself to drift away.

@,

 

Symphony laughed a little. Or maybe it was Sonnet. Or one of the other personas she had used over the years - she couldn't tell anymore, which would have been concerning if she weren't already so far from her usual comfort zone.

 

"I'd call it a braver thing than its given credit for." She said, closing her eyes and leaning against the griffins feathers, before her eyes snapped open and the smirk returned.

 

"Though if that was just an act, you played it very well, might I say?" She added teasingly.

"Though if that was just an act, you played it very well, might I say?" She added teasingly.

 

 

He caught the apparent tease, but he still responded in a serious manner, "Well...no, that's no act on my part." He laughed a little, "You've gotta stop with those teases, miss troublemaker." He tilted his head, and cocked and eyebrow, "Then again, you manage to be a cutie when you tease, too." A sly grin finally returned to his face.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@,

 

"Just testing the water: finding out what makes you tick." She answered, stifling a yawn. Some ponies would probably consider this an early night: for her it was getting terribly late - a side effect of enjoying the silence in the early day streets, before the crowds arrived.

 

"Anyway..." She continued. "... don't pretend that you don't do it too."

[Fender 1,283]

@, 

 

He smiled, and leaned against her, "Maybe...maybe." He sighed, "I wonder...what are we going to do tomorrow?" He turned his head to the mare, "I'd like to hang out again, if that's cool with you...I could teach you a bit more about letting loose...and maybe you could share your uptight ways with me..." His sly grin returned, and he whispered, "Tick...tick...tick..."

Sabel landed with a loud thump on a random rooftop.  She hadn't flown very far, but she was tired and her head was starting to hurt.  Maybe that drink -had- been a bad idea...  

 

The young griffon walked in a tight circle before curling up in a corner of the roof, under the shadow of what seemed to be some kind of chimney.  It could have been anything for all Sabel knew, she wasn't familiar (or interested) in architecture.  All she cared about was that it offered her something to lay against.

 

As she curled up, she took a moment to run her talons through the fur of her hurt leg.  Oh yeah...  That's a pretty nasty bruise under the fur.  Thought so.  With a sigh she laid her head down, pulling her wings down around her.  Nothing to do but wait for it to heal, I guess.  Maybe it'll feel better in the morning.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@,

 

It took a minute or two for her to consider his proposition: of course she didn't have plans - she never had plans. And he seemed... interesting. She didn't need to to spend every single day playing the game.

 

"Yeah... sure, why not? I don't think I'm doing anything important tomorrow anyway." She said - failing to suppress the next yawn that came. "Sorry, I'm more of a morning pony." She tried to explain with a slight flush of embarrassment.

[Fender 1,283]

@,

 

He smiled broadly and chuckled- for several reasons- her answer, her yawn, he didn't know why he found it funny...or maybe not funny? He couldn't think of the proper words in his head, but he figured it had to do with his apparent liking of the mare. 

 

"That's okay...we can go to sleep now, if you'd like...and if you wake up before me, don't be afraid to wake me." He grinned, "I won't eat you...at least...I don't think so." His grin became more mischievous now. He poked one talon at her, "Just remember, you're fresh meat." He chuckled, 

 

"Jokes aside, we should probably get to sleep now." He put on a genuine smile once more, and offered a hug.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@,

 

"Bite me." She echoed his earlier comment snidely, punctuated with a cuff on the shoulder before awkwardly accepting the show of affection - friendly, romantic or otherwise - Symphony smiled uneasily and wondered exactly what she was thinking getting into this. 

 

'Just... for once... see how things play out without running away or attacking them.'

 

"Yeah, I'll, uh, see you in the morning." She agreed, deciding to stop thinking into things and just see what became of things. "You're, uh... I'm looking forward to tomorrow."

He grew a smile once more, "Well...let's hurry up and get there." He walked out of the bedroom, "Goodnight." and closed the door behind him, to give the mare privacy if she wanted it. He stretch for a moment, and curled up on the couch as well as he could...and in no time, fell asleep.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Despite her confusion and the strange surroundings, it took Symphony a surprisingly short time to drift off. She curled up at the foot of the bed for no discernible reason other than force of habit, tucking her wings close, and fell into a particularly deep sleep.

-------------------------------

 

Obligatory Time skip of destiny!

 

-------------------------------

 

Waking with a quiet groan, she blinked in the light.

 

'... Light?'

 

What time was it? it shouldn't be light, not yet, should it?

 

Her vision came back into focus and she remembered where she was - in Percy's house. She smiled to herself: nothing bad had happened, everything was okay! Well, she overslept but that was hardly a problem today...

 

Climbing stiffly to her hooves, she stretched out and tested her wings on the off chance that they might have improved since the day before despite the fact that she knew they wouldn't ever really heal. Briefly considering slipping out of a window, she shook her head and strode into the room where Percy was sleeping.

 

"Morning sleeping beauty!" She called out at the slumbering griffin.

@@scooterlou, 

Vincent groggily opened his eyes, forceing himself off of his nice, warm, comfy bed and flopping onto the floor, before lifting himself up. He stretched himself, before rubbing his eyes with a clenched claw and looking at the clock. 7 30. No bad, that gave him an hour to get cleaned up and ready to meet up with Raspberry. He took a brief shower, had a very annoying time drying himself off like always, before making the call on his phone. He explained the situation with his wing to his boss, and though his boss wasn`t happy about it, he approved the time off. 

 

Vincent left his small appartment, heading down the road. He took his time, arriving about 5 minutes after 8:30. He didn`t see Raspberry outside of the ice cream shop, so he decided to simply wait around. He`d give her about a half an hour before he would start thinking she just bailed.

"Morning sleeping beauty!" She called out at the slumbering griffin

 

 

He awoke with a jolt, but quickly calmed down, and sort of chuckled, "Mornin' beautiful." He blushed a little, realizing what he said, and hoping it wasn't too much. He got up and stretched, "...Soooo...ready to start the day?" he smiled,

 

 

Aaaaaaaaaand, day two begins.

@,

She noticed to conspicuous lack of a female griffin, but decided against bringing it up: she probably just woke up too late to catch her.

"Well aren't you in a good mood today?" She observed with a raised brow and a fleeting appreciative smile and blush at his words.

'For someone with talons and a beak like that, he manages 'charming' pretty well.'

"So! Do we have a plan today? Anything special to show me?" She grinned. "Or do we wait and see what happens?"

"Oh shit!" He said as he quickly packed up his music supplies and moved to Two Scoops.

'Damndamndamndamndamn!' He thought as he rushed to the  icecream shop to meet Vincent there.

"Vincent, do ya mind helpin? Im trying to get the stuff for the music, but i need some help. Look, just 5 more minutes of your time is all im asking!"

"So! Do we have a play today? Anything special to show me?" She grinned. "Or do we wait and see what happens?"

 

 

He smiled, "Well...I wanted to leave it up to you...I may be from around here, but I don't exactly have the best knowledge of the place..." He scratched his chin for a moment. "We could look for Sabel...? I could take you on another flight." He chuckled, "And don't deny it...you know you enjoyed your last flight."

[TheLineTrotter 100]

Vincent blinked as the stallion from yesterday came running up to him, letting out a huff. The guy really annoyed him for some reason. He`d just started glaring at him randomly yesterday, and next thing he knew the stallion was inturrupting his conversation with Raspberry. He raised his brow at the request "What are you in such a hurry for. The place doesn`t even open until noon, Raspberry told me so." for emphasis, he pointed at a sign displayed the oppening and closing times. "Besides, I don`t recall ever seeing you get this cleared with the owner like Raspberry said to."

With a loud groan Sabel woke up and stretched, flexing her wings.  She turned her head to inspect her leg, wincing slightly as she stretches it out.  "Oh yeah, that's a nasty bruise.  Doesn't feel like anythings out of place though, just sore..."  She limped slowly to the edge of the roof, looking out over Manehattan.  Alright, what's on the schedule today...  

 

About that time, a pony walked through a door onto the roof of the building.  Sabel blinked and smiled at him.  Based on the unhappy look on his face at finding her hanging around up there, she took him to be the owner of whatever building she had decided to roost on.  The young griffon raised a talon in a mock wave, a smirk on her face.  "Yo.  Thanks for letting me crash here."  With a laugh she jumped over the edge of the roof, spreading her wings and darting off before the pony could respond to her.  Close one!

Raspberry thundered down the stairs in a rush, running late for her meeting with Vincent - first she'd overslept, then she got distracted by her Daring Do book again... when she realized it was past 8:30 she quickly brushed her mane and dashed out the door.  Once downstairs, she saw Vincent waiting (she hoped he hadn't been waiting long!) and the green stallion from yesterday.  She smiled quickly at Vincent, then turned to the stallion and frowned slightly.

 

"Hey, the shop doesn't open until noon, and it's a little after 8:30 in the morning," she said quietly and patiently.  "And my aunt didn't mention that you'd talked to her, either."  She was beginning to get a little annoyed with the stallion, but kept an outward mask of patience.  "So you're gonna have to wait until the shop opens, and then talk to Aunt Dreamsicle, okay?"

 

She then turned to Vincent, and her smile reappeared, albeit, a little smaller due to her frustration.  "You ready for brunch?" she asked.

@@scooterlou,

Vincent turned his head as he heard the door to the shop oppening, smiling lightly as he saw Raspberry. She heard the mare tell off the stallion, and was personally amazed at her patience:  he`s never have managed to keep himself calm if he`d been in her hooves. When she turned to him, he gave her a light smile. "Hey there." at her question, he nodded "Yeah, i`m starving! I know this great place for breakfast, think it`s called Big Colt or something like that. It has preety good breakfast, i`ve heard good things about thier pancakes and muffins too." He said, beginning to walk towards it with a gesture for her to follow. He wasn`t sure how Raspberry would feel about the smell, but he hoped it wouldn`t bother her. "I`ve got a preety good plan set up. Obviously, we`re not going to be able to see everything in just one day, but...."

"Ohhh, pancakes," Raspberry said as she followed Vincent.  "I love pancakes.  Especially chocolate chip pancakes..."  She grinned.  "And it's okay if we don't get to see everything - just means there's more to explore another day!"  She eagerly followed behind the griffin, feeling a little warm and fuzzy from making a friend so quickly.  She half wondered how many ponies were friends with griffins, then decided she didn't care.  Ponies, griffins, who cares?  Everyone lives on this big planet, and that's all that mattered to her.
