private Flake: A Tundra Frontier

@,  Gloom wasn't really phased buy the hole, eating ponies thing. He kinda called that when she attacked him. "If anyone tries to attack us, I don't care if you kill or eat them. The bastards would have it coming. And yeah, I'm an  omnivore, so I eat meat and plants. It's a pity that you can't. But I guess you can have the rest of my meat that I still have in my bags. It ain't much but I think it'll do for now." He moves closer to her, to get more of her body heat."Wow, you're soft."

Hearth stepped towards a small building. As sunset drew near, he knew that things were gonna get unbearably cold. He heard some voices from the inside. He knew that he could never be too careful. He pulled his rifle, and kicked in the door. He pointed the barrel at Gloom and Pluse. "Friend or enemy?' He asked simply.

"I won't take what you need as well," said Pluse firmly. "It's unlikely that we'll be able to find any vegetation during this kind of storm, and what's left has probably been eaten by ponies. You can't eat them, but I can, so I'll wait it out for now." Grinning at his last comment, she wrapped her arms around him jokingly. "You're not the first one who's said that, Glooms."

She heard the sound of footfalls outside and stiffened, then rose. The pony that entered held them at gunpoint, but Pluse laughed barkingly. "Yanno, mister, I made the same mistake as you this morning, but fortunately he didn't have the same abilities as I." She held out her hand, and electricity flickered from it, gently licking the tip of the gun with a mild shock. The energy required to do such a simple action made her tired, and she sat down and flicked her tail over her paws, then smiled. "Considering I have electricity on my side and my comrade here seems to be quite handy with that blade of his, I think the better question is what are you? Put the gun down, now, before someone gets hurt, and let's talk this out like civilized folk." She paused reflectively. "Well, as civilized as possible."

"Ah asked you a skydamned question." Hearthsong said clicking back the hammer to emphasize his point. "Also, are ya screwin' with me, or actually stupid. I was trained t' deal with the likes of you." He squints his eyes and points it right between her eyes. "Ah'll ask again. Friend or foe?"

"And I shall reply the same way - what are you?" said Pluse, ignoring the gun coolly. "We're all in the same boat here, so stay your over-eager trigger hoof and hear me out. We have no weapons, yet you threaten us with yours. We were minding our own business, yet you come in and threaten us with harm. Were we foes, we would have come out there and found you. So really, I am inclined to believe that you, sir, are the foe to us here."

"Coming from someone that just lied to me." Hearthsong noted laughingly. "You claim not to have weapons. You say this not moments after mentioning that your friend is good with a blade. This threat states that he would have blades, AKA weapons." Hearth looked at her dryly. "Though you make a point, a stupid point, but a point."

"He has a knife, but if you didn't notice we were trying to sleep and we're a bit groggy," pointed out Pluse. "You would have shot us both by the time that we reached them, so technically, we are on our own here. Now put your gun down." She frowned. "Dirty weapons, those. They require no skill to use, yet you can take down your foe from afar. A cheap battle. State your business and the be on your way. We have rest to catch up on. Don't be a me, boyo - you don't win hearts or help by threats of putting a bullet in my skull. I admire your gall, though it really hasn't made me interested in your well-being. You beat down the door and threaten innocents; you must hold your honour very cheaply. A quality useful in these situations, I suppose, but have you no shame?"

@, @, Gloom stayed quiet and off to the said through Pluse and the new obnoxious gun toting pony's conversation. Clinching his knifes handle, ready to throw it  anytime at the pony if he made any other attempt to kill Pluse or him. He's even more mad now then when Pluse tried to kill him. Case he really hates it when someone interrupts him when he's about to sleep. "The lass is right, and if you make any move to kill ether of us with that compensating weapon of yours. I'll throw my knife right between your eyes, and I never miss my mark."
