(Haha... I fell asleep.)

"you dont rememba? Wish introduced us earlier, when we were in the scrub. Name's Parso. its alright that you dont rememba me, I forgive ya, I'm nopony special"
Parso smiled at the mare before offering her the bag of marshmallows
"want one?"
he said in a soft, kind tone

Eve smiled wistfully. "Did she?" she asked, looking slightly embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I'm not very good with names..." (Or remembering that that happened at all)

She shook her head politely, not wanting a marshmallow. 

 

Parso watched the fire get put out before turning to Eve
"well, I guess I'll talk to ya tomorrow. good night, Eve"
he said with a smile before trotting towards the colts cabin. upon entry, he saw Pelate in a state of misery
"mate, you look worse for wears, whats up?"
he sat on the bunk directly adjacent to Pelate's

"Good night," she mumbled, as she walked towards the mares' cabin.

Eve heard her name as she was stepping up to the front door of the cabin. She paused for a moment, then sighed and stepped inside. She dipped her head, nodding politely to the other two mares, then trotted over to her bed meekly.

@@Descant,@,

 

Ceres smiled and nodded.  "That would be nice, I've been trying to get away from all this drama.  I just need a break, you know?"

 

Ceres noted Evergreen walking in and waived at her as she passed.  'Doesn't look like she wants to do anything.  And besides, this is the perfect chance to get closer to Wish.'  Ceres' smile widened as her thoughts ran with that idea.   She grabbed Wish's hoof and hopped up, winking at Wish.  "C'mon, let's go for that walk.  I've been meaning to get you alone for hours."

"Uhm... You have?" The blue-maned mare asked blankly as she allowed herself to be pulled outside - she wasn't complaining about her friends sudden change of tone but the confusion lingered just a little longer than she might have let on. Still, Ceres had been really nice to her - it was good that she wasn't angry or upset or anything about earlier. Some ponies tended to dwell on arguments for far too long...

 

"I mean great! Lets go!" She quickly amended: somehow managing to get her hooves in sync with Ceres' and match her pace.

Eve watched the other two mares trot out of the room, a forlorn look on her face, then sighed and sat down. She hadn't been invited. It wasn't a big deal, but she would have at least appreciated the gesture. She pulled the rose out of her mane and just watched it as it opened and closed its pedals. 

[DiscordPF 139]

@, 

 

Ceres led Wish out of the cabin and onto a walkway outside the inner limits of the camp.  She didn't want to have to deal with any other ponies after all.  She grinned and walked closely to Wish, brushing her side every so often, just enough to initiate contact but not enough to become uncomfortable with their current level of relationship.  Right now, as far as Ceres knew, Wish only saw her as a friend.  Ceres planned on changing that over the course of the camp, but things need to be carefully maneuvered, or else she would end up making things very awkward for the rest of the duration of camp.  'I wonder if I should ask about what she's hesitant about.  Maybe I should lead into it first...'

 

"So Wish, tell me a little about yourself.  I know you grew up on a farm, and you decided to go travelling but that's about it."

 

 

Eve watched the other two mares trot out of the room, a forlorn look on her face, then sighed and sat down. She hadn't been invited. It wasn't a big deal, but she would have at least appreciated the gesture. She pulled the rose out of her mane and just watched it as it opened and closed its pedals. 

(I'm so sorry, I wasn't trying to exclude you!  You came in after I made my post.   )

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@,

 

"Well..."

 

Wish considered her options: Ceres seemed nice enough... and it wasn't exactly a secret after all.

 

"I'm going to look for my brother. He left home about... two years ago? We never saw him since. No pony knows where he was going or anything." She explained: it wasn't an uncomfortable subject - in fact she felt like she could talk to Ceres about anything really.

 

"So, after I'm done here? I'm going to go out there find him."

 

She looked across as the mare brushed against her but didn't move away - it wasn't uncomfortable after all.

[DiscordPF 139]

@,

 

'Oh? She just up and told me by herself.  Very good... things are progressing well then.'  Ceres smiled and nodded at Wish, closing in the distance just a bit more as they walked.  "I can tell you care about him a lot.  Especially to get you to up and leave like that, you don't strike me as the adventuresome type to be honest."

 

Ceres chuckled lightly at her last comment.  She composed herself before continuing, "Did he leave a message when he left?  Like why he might have gone, or just to say that he cared for you?"

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@,

 

"He found some old armor in the cellar under the barn said he needed to find out more our family history. A few days later he put it on and left." She explained with a shrug.

 

"And I'm more than capable of looking after myself, thank you very much! I've spent the past couple of years learning things that I'm going to need to know!"

@,

 

Ceres laughed heartily, lightly bopping Wish on the nose.  "I never said you couldn't take care of yourself!" 

 

Ceres pulled Wish into a side-hug, her foreleg around Wish's shoulders.  "I just said that you don't appear to be the type to strike out on your own.  But I guess that would be a mis-characterization considering your cutie mark."

 

Ceres winked at Wish as she glanced back at her flank.  Smiling, Ceres continued the walk with Wish in her embrace.  "So what about after you find him?  What then?"

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@,

 

Wish tensed for a moment at the unexpected contact of her friends foreleg around her but quickly relaxed.

 

"I love exploring! I didn't know anything about living on a farm: I've just not got much experience of the world yet..." She said, half frowning in resentment, half smiling at the closeness of Ceres.

[DiscordPF 139]

@,

 

Ceres chuckled mirthfully, giving Wish a light squeeze with her foreleg.  "Sounds like your having fun while you go off on your own after all, despite the current objective."

 

Grinning, Ceres eyed Wish hungrily.  "So, in your travels have you met any ponies that are special to you?"

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@,

 

"Special...? No, not really. From what I've seen, it's petty lonely on the road." Wish said with a slight frown: it was one of the few things that she wasn't looking forward to, but something she was prepared to deal with to find her brother.

 

She hadn't exactly been in any serious relationships - or any at all really - So she wasn't going to miss anything.

He stared at the unicorn as he batted his head from back and forth almost frantically. "Is everything alright? Hopefully, I have said nothing to disturb you", Monkshood remarked. He continued to trot along the route. "Curious, such a bizarre reaction. I wonder if he has some illness. I might be able to help him if so", he thought with an indifferent smirk about his face.

 

Looking back towards the unicorn, he continued trotting forward only to bash into a rather large object. He was shocked to learn that they actually stood before the cabin. Monkshood maneuvered himself around the building, and stopped just short of the door. He rubbed his head trying to relieve his current sense of pain. "Before we go in for the night, I would like to introduce myself properly. I am Monkshood, and what can I can refer to use as", he uttered in an uneven voice, still surprised from his abrupt stop.

"First of all, are you okay? That looked like it hurt." Blazing said. He wasn't going to say anything else until he knew that Monkshood was okay. He may not have known him for that long, but he still cared about him at least a little bit. Even if he cared though, he was still fighting back laughter at the same time.

[DiscordPF 139]

@,

 

"Hmmm?"  Ceres pondered for a moment, considering what avenue to take to get the best results.  'The indirect method is probably best right now, I don't know how she feels about anypony else.'  "Anypony catch your eye?"

 

Ceres looked over quizically, as she led them towards the lake.  The lake would be the perfect little escape and the reflective waters under the moonlight would heighten the mood.

"I believe so, I swear I am not usually so disregardful of my surroundings", shaking his head, snickering at his unusual clumsiness. Monkshood slowly regained his usual composure. He looked at the stallion as it was clear, he was trying to bite his tongue. "Let us continue on with are discussion", he stated, still slightly chuckling at himself.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@,

 

"What? I mean, I don't think so. I've not really been paying much attention to that kind of stuff." She shrugged blankly - it was true, she never really gave it much thought."What about you? You've got really pretty eyes, I bet you could get any colt you wanted!" She added with a friendly smile.

"Okay then..." Blazing said. "Anyway, my name is Blazing Hoof, but I like to go by Blazing." He said. He didn't have much else to say after that, so he just stopped talking. He seems a bit... Strange compared to most ponies. Maybe I have a chance of making friends here after all... He thought.

[DiscordPF 139]

@, 

 

Ceres grinned, raising an eyebrow and leaning in closely to Wish, lowering her voice to a seductive tone.  "So you like my eyes, do you?"

 

Pausing for effect, Ceres held her gaze, looking into Wish's Amythyst colored eyes.  Slowly looking up in contemplation, she said, "I guess I could have any colt... or mare I wanted..."

 

Again, Ceres paused.  She wanted to let that last statement sink in before anything else were to pass.  Smiling, she glanced back at Wish.  "I might have a pony or two I've got my eye on... But your not too bad yourself you know, your eyes compliment your mane color and style quite well if I do say so myself."

Ceres licked her lips, suppressing any further predatory instincts.  'Just a little bit longer... just a little bit longer...'  Ceres stopped and let go of Wish, only to step to the side and look directly in her eyes in the moonlight, smiling as she did so.  They had arrived at the lake, the soft rippling of the water crashing against the shoreline the only sound besides their conversation.  The light of the moon reflecting off of the water illuminated both ponies features gracefully, accenting the curves and shedding a soft light on the landscape.

"Well then let us go in for the night", he declared. Slowly, Monkshood began to push open the door, and allowing Blazing to enter first. As he walked underneath the door's arch he noticed the ever-happy Pelate, with what appeared to be a distraught look, lying awake upon his bedding.

 

A thought struck Monkshood, "I completely forgot about both Ceres and Pelate during the camp-fire. I'm such a fool sometimes. I hope neither are particularly vexed with me". Trotting over to the bedding he stated with a worried tone, "Greetings Pelate, I apologize for leaving you alone during the camp-fire. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble".

"Mare...? Oh! I mean... You're a...?" Wish blustered helplessly as she locked eyes with the dark mare. trying to make sense of the situation and fight with what she had already accepted as simple friendship.

 

Ceres was a filly fooler?

 

"I... You're really nice to me, and really pretty but I've never even... Not with a mare!" She mumbled, all the while watching her 'friend' out of the corner of her eye. The concept seemed so alien, so surreal... So adventurous!

 

But there was no denying that her friend was very attractive...

[DiscordPF 139]

@,

 

Ceres laughed heartily, swatting playfully with a hoof.  "Oh, I swing both ways."

 

Ceres composed herself and gave Wish a sly grin, her eyes twinkling mischievously.  "But, I don't recall ever asking you anything..." 

 

'Well, all is not lost; a change in tactics may be in order though.  Although, her reaction was quite priceless.  I must say, if nothing else, I have my amusement for the night indeed.'

The loud intercom sounded, "all campers please head to your cabins, its lights out, good night everypony" the intercom turns off.

 

Pelate Overcast:

 

Pelate hears the intercom sound. "sigh, lets get this retched night over with and tommorrow this memory will al be nothing but a dead story" he said to himself. *i will learn to fly, i will live to see the day i see myself soaring in the air, no madder what the cost...* Pelate thought.

Pelate tried to sleep, but his eyes just wouldn't stay shut. "ugh i cant get Ceres' words out of my head" he thought out loud.

He merely stared at Pelate, who began to mutter. "This is unusual. Even though I know little about Pelate, he never seemed like the type of pony to hold a grudge against somepony", Monkshood contemplated. Quickly he shrugged it off, this was not the first time something like this had happened, and likely not the last.

 

Scampering over to his bedding, Monkshood began to grab his belongings and the mixture that he had stashed underneath the bedding earlier. "Good the mixture seems to still be in a inert state, it will need at least a good jostling before it's active", he mumbled to himself. He rearranged his bag making sure everything was still there. Staring at his bag, he began to ruminate a plan for the night.

Pelate jolted up as he saw monkshood coming in through the door. "oh hi monkshood" pelate said sheepishly, knowing he heard what he said " my god, i keep trying to sleep but mmy experiences tonight are too traumatic to sleep through. especially what Ceres said, my god i have the feeling that shes right but i dont know..." pelate excaims shrugging.

[The Blades Shadow 444]

Blazing collapsed silently onto one of the beds. He just had to act asleep until everypony else was actually asleep, then he could sleep outside like he originally planned. Now nopony better buck up my plan... I may not leave yet but I'm at least staying outside tonight... He thought.
