"Hmm very impressive. Wait, Hold a tick is that a gryphon war gauntlet in the hall way? I have one in my room. It's made from mithril steel. light weight metal but is very durable. The claws are from obsidian. volcanic glass cooled down and sharpened. Hurts like a mule if the rumors of it being able to break off in your flesh ios true," Draco said admiring the golden gauntlet.

"uhhh, I think so, Dad likes to collect stuff like this, no Idea why, it must be one of his hobbies"

Parso opened his office door behind the couple and stepped behind Draco

"listen, Draco, was it? I apologize for what I did earlier. I've just been under a lot of stress with running a company. take this advice and try not to work too hard, you'll end up like me"

he offered his hoof to shake

"it shouldn't be too hard, you have Hunter here to keep you in check"

[dragon4111 914]

Draco shook Parso's hoof "Well you try dealing with Prince Blueblood who demands that I give him the item he ordered for free. Guess what I triple my prices for him," Draco chuckled only slightly as he said that. "Any how concerning this gauntlet here I have one just like it. Given to me by the gryphon king himself for saving his daughter. Bloody ingrate next time I won't even save her,"

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"ugh, Blueblood, I gave him an ass kickin' from trying to roofie Hunter. oh did Celestia herself give him a severe talk to when I showed her the pills. helluva show. take that as a warning yourself. As for the gauntlet they gave that to me after a mass trade of my armaments as a thank you gift as well as my payment"

[dragon4111 914]

Draco shrugged "Don't compare me to Blueblood. unlike him I actually am quite the gentle colt ask your daughter. Heck she came along with me to make a delivery to the princess herself," Draco said with a slightly proud tone. "Sorry can' help but be alittle prideful of my own business,"

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"it's true daddy"

"well...alright, but if she comes running home full of tears, you're on the top of my list"

"daddy! come on Draco, lets see if Mom is preparing lunch"

Hunter lead Draco back down the stairs and into the kitchen

"hey Mom, whatcha makin'?"

"Homemade Hay fries"

[dragon4111 914]

"Sounds good Miss Lotus," Draco said as he chuckled to himself. "Still need to find that stallion who bumped into me and knock him over the skull," he muttered to himself as he felt his heckles rise from that rude stallion. He smiled on the outside but inside he was boiling mad alright.

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"no need to be formal, Lotus is fine, deary"

"mmm,that does sound good, Mom"

"you might as well take a seat, they'll be done really soon"

Hunter nodded and sat up at the table, a spot where there was one seat next to her. she patted the seat and waited for Draco to sit down with her

"okay they're done. give them time to cool"

Lotus had taken the fries out of the oven and put a fair amount on four plates, she then walked into the main corridor and looked up the stairs

"Parso, lunch is ready"

[dragon4111 914]

Draco sat next to his mare friend as he looked outside. "I heard Hunter here doesn't fly that often," Draco said with a slight grin. "Any reason for that Lotus?" Draco asked with a curious tone. "Well actually does she have trouble flying at high speeds?" he asked as he looked to Hunter.

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"I think she flys well, but she maybe is not as fast as your common speed"

Parso had come into the kitchen and sat down at one end. lotus sat at the other.

"what she can't do is swim, I've tried and tried"

"aquaphobia"

Hunter looked downat her plate, then began to eat

[dragon4111 914]

"Did you try a gentler approach?" Draco asked with a smile. He looked towards Hunter with a gentle look. "Anyhow got any interesting stories in your travels Parso?" Draco asked as he looked at Hunter's father. His silver eyes calculating and scanning  for a reason to strike up a new trade route with Parso industries.

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"eh, I don't travel, I leave that to my import/export crew, only time I've had a proper trip was coming to Equestria from Sydneigh, but that wasn't very joyful, being young and depressed. though business trips aren't very lengthy or as cool as they seem to be"

[dragon4111 914]

Draco smiled slightly "So your lazy?" he asked as he smiled with a joking grin. "Now before you get upset. I own O'Malley's Exotic Import and Export. I don't trust any pony with the stuff I deal in. For instance those gauntlets yeah quite rare from an era long ago. Just saying that's all,"

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"oh that? that was given to me in-pony during a meeting to finalize an active trade between us and them. we negotiate fairly ever since the griffons signed the peace treaty with the princesses. hah...lazy, I spend most of my free time moving about, the tennis court outside isn't just for show"

the middle-aged stallion laughed

[dragon4111 914]

Draco chuckled "No I meant it differently. Don't you want to be out there interacting with the ponies and customers?" Draco asked as he laughed slightly as he ate slowly. He looked to Hunter lovingly. "Anyhow yeah I own my own business. Import and export of exotic items," he said "So anyway,"

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"I used to, but the times have changed now I only talk to regular customers through conferences. so, you're a courier, right? I bet things get vicious at times, right? especially out in the badlands where those "Deth 98.1" sadists are stationed. come with me, I'll show you something"

Parso finished off his lunch

"aaah, excellent cooking, love"

he kissed his wife before heading upstairs, leading Draco to his office

"I know it can be dangerous out there, so what do I do to brave Stallions willing to risk their lives for their job? heres the answer"

he opened a drawer in his desk and brought out a shiny Forest Griffin hoofcannon

"I arm them with some of the finest armaments in Equestria. take it, free of charge, Hunter's happiness is enough for this piece. semi-automatic, never jams and weather resistant"

[dragon4111 914]

Draco said "6 Cylinders quite powerful. Coated with stabilizing runes, fires .44 rounds. But even with those runes on it it can break my hoof in two. I do have some tricks of mine own," he looked around. "Got anything you don't need?" he asked as he flexed his wings slowly. "But alittle extra protection can go along way too," he said as he took hold of the gun. He deposited a large bag of 1.5 mil bits. "To cover the costs,"

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

Parso searched in a chest and the far end of the room

"magazines .50 rounds. I can't just give you a gun without bullets"

he placed five magazines and a carton of bullets on his desk, he then looked at the bag of money

"c'mon, son. my arms cost less than that, unless you were buying for an army"

he took 20% of the bits and gave the rest back

"armor"

he opened another chest, shuffling around until he brought out a black vest

"moderate kevlar vest, we're prototyping a new armor at the factory that will also cover magic and explosives. but for now, just take this offers medium protection and doesn't make you feel like a turtle. anything else?"

[dragon4111 914]

Draco said "Hey that's just part of the money I got from Celestia," he chuckled "Not exactly easy to find the trades you know. Buut," Draco smiled slightly. "Align with me and you'll have your weapons. Since your a collector of fine antique weapons like that gauntlet out in the hall way," Draco said as he sat infront of his desk. "we make a contract between us. A trade route to be more precise and I'll have the courier guild help you out. I have sway over the leader ship there,"

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"thats...not a bad idea actually, I'll get a contract printed to be signed, and then I'm sure we can establish a trade route. whats your regular pay rate?"

the middle aged stallion smiled when he began to discuss business with the young courier, he offered his hoof again to shake

"give it a day or two and I should have the contract printed and ready"

[dragon4111 914]

"Regular pay for a exotic item?" Draco asked as he shook the older stallions hoof. "20 bits. The really rare items though, 100 bits. Most of that goes to my hotels and meal on the go. Also payments are when I return with the item. No payment, no item. Of course if you want an exclusive item 900 bits,"

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"consider them doubled when you do a job for me. you're in the big leagues now. but promise me this; you must spend equal time with Hunter as you do with your work, it might be hard, but if you do a job that takes more than a day to complete, you take that many days off to be with her, she loves you but she doesn't cope well with neglect"

[dragon4111 914]

Draco chuckled "And O'Malley always keeps a promise Parso. Never failing to do what they think is right. Each day I wake up alone but now I have her next to me," he said as he grabbed a fire whiskey from his saddlebags. "Fire whiskey funny thing about this is it warms you up. Anyhow my family died in a fire when I was a colt. My sister survived but she and I well let's just say she blames me,"

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

Parso patted Draco on the shoulder

"I know how that feels, to have someone you love taken away from you"

suddenly there was a knock at the door

"come in"

the door opened to reveal Hunter

"I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"

"no, no"

she trotted and and hugged up to Draco

[dragon4111 914]

Draco smiled as he hugged her gently "If I had words, to make a day for you, I'd sing you a morning, golden and true. I would make this day, last for all time, then fill the night, deep in moonshine." he gently sang into her ear. "Every day I'll make your day a day worth remembering that I swear,"
