The Pet Sneaks a Treat

4 March 2015

07:59 Zuthal awakens and gives his belly a gentle pat. "Hmmm... good morning, Ruzeth..." he mumbles. ***

08:00 < Ruzeth> (I think I'm going to go back to sleep for a bit)

08:00 < Zuthal> (Okay, nini~. I should, like... adult.)

08:01 < Zuthal> (But I am procrastinating onit. And waiting on my parents to, like... get me the dates for when I went to which school for my resume)

08:01 < Zuthal> (because I don't have that in my head)

09:06 < Ruzeth> (apparently I'm not getting back to sleep after all. If it didn't happen after an hour... I don't see it happening.)

09:07 < Zuthal> (Awwww)

09:15 Ruzeth sleeps soundly through the night, not even getting woken by the pangs of hunger that reminded the zebra he hadn't had dinner. Lucent had come home late and left early, and somehow mistook Zuthal for Ruzeth. Even as Zuthal wakes, over half a day later, the zebra has yet to stir. Fortunately for them, the coat continues to hold strong, though who knows for how long. ***

09:15 < Ruzeth> (they hadn't had dinner yet and they slip through the night... So that's like from 5PM to 6AM or something :P)

09:16 < Zuthal> (shrug)

09:16 < Zuthal> (How do you mistake a tatzlpone with a huge belly for a zebra?)

09:17 < Ruzeth> (that's why I made it hold :B feel free to grab him. Idk... Lights off and super tired?)

09:17 < Ruzeth> (He must have been outta it :P)

09:19 Zuthal becomes a little bit concerned as Ruzeth does not respond, rolling off the bed and starting to walk to the shower. "Hmm... I probably should let you out..." he mumbles, pulling his coils down his throat and starting to pull the zebra out. ***

09:24 Ruzeth blinks awake as the tatzl begins to move to the shower, and squirms as he feels Zuthal's coils on his fur. He gives a large yawn and stretches inside before beginning to squirm. "What time is it? Can I have five more minutes?" he complains sleepily. ***

09:26 Zuthal hums softly at the squirming inside him, rubbing his coils over the zebra's fur. "No, you don't. It's morning, and I'm pretty sure you want breakfast, right?" ***

09:30 Ruzeth blinks again at the pony's words and shakes his head. "Morning? Already? But... We were supposed to wake for dinner. Lucent didn't freak did he?" The zebra asks, wiggling in the coils as the encircled him. ***

09:32 Zuthal shrugs a little bit. "I didn't see him, so it seems to be okay... dunno if he even noticed me being here... And yeah, we were supposed to..." ***

09:35 Ruzeth relaxes a bit as Zuthal reassures him and then nods, "Well... Alright that's good then. I guess I ought to make us some breakfast though..." He says, grimacing as he begins to notice his hunger. ***

09:37 Zuthal nods to him, giggling a little. "Yeah, you should. But first, I'm gonna pull you out, okay?" he asks, before wrapping his coils around Ruzeth and starting to pull him up. ***

09:42 Ruzeth goes limp as Zuthal begins to tug, trying to make it easy on the pony to pull him up. "Ya... I suppose it's about time... Your spit won't last much longer will it?" He asks as he slowly slides up the tube. ***

09:43 Zuthal nods slowly, grunting a bit as he pulls the zebra up his throat. Soon, he can see the light of the bathroom, and not too much later, he slips out of the tatzl's mouth and into the tub. ***

09:46 Ruzeth lands with a grunt on the cold surface of the tub, shivering as the heat is sapped from his body. Slowly, the glistening zebra gets to his feet, wobbling as he stands. ***

09:52 Zuthal looks Ruzeth over, smiling as he sees that the collar is still sitting around his neck. "Well... should probably get you cleaned off, right?" ***

09:56 Ruzeth shrugs and reaches for a towel instead, wiping off the stomach slime. "I'm too hungry for that... Plus you said this stuff comes off fine dry," he says, trying to get him sedan to merely damp. ***

09:57 Zuthal giggles a little bit, walking out of the shower as he waves his tail at Ruzeth. "Yeah, it does. Just thought you'd rather get clean before..." ***

10:00 Ruzeth stops in the mirror as he reaches it and raises his hooves to his collar, switching the digits to the proper numbers to remove it. "Well I'll be fine it sounds like, do why bother." ***

10:02 Zuthal gives a small shrug, not noticing the small click as the zebra removes his collar. "I dunno why so many ponies have a problem with it... prolly because they are just not used to it." ***

10:17 Ruzeth smiles, satisfied as Zuthal has not changed the combo and pulls it off before going through the steps to assign it a new number and setting it down, bounding out towards the kitchen. "Well... It is kind of gross, but I'm too hungry to bother with it right now." ***

10:19 Zuthal chuckles a little bit as he sits down on one of the chairs in the kitchen. "Eh, you get used to it. Sooo... what's for breakfast?" ***

10:23 Ruzeth digs through the icebox and pulls out some fresh carrots and celery and grabs a jar of peanut butter from the pantry. "I think this looks good to me~" he says, dripping a stalk in and taking a bite. ***

10:23 < Zuthal> (I cannot imagine that tasting good...)

10:24 < Ruzeth> (peanut butter and celery? It's great.)

10:24 Zuthal makes a blegh face as Ruzeth dips the vegetable into the peanut batter, accepting some of the veggies but declining the sticky, sweet paste. "If you say so..." ***

10:24 < Zuthal> (Though then again, I'm not really a fan of peanut butter period)

10:25 < Zuthal> (or sweet breakfast stuff in general, apart from jam)

10:26 < Ruzeth> (it's a commonish "healthy" snack here, that combo.)

10:26 < Zuthal> (Just like the tomato sauce on a pizza counts as a vegetable serving, right?)

10:27 Ruzeth shrugs and indicates towards the pantry. "Well there's plenty other things in there if you're going to be that way." He says, munching on a stalk and dipping in for more. ***

10:29 < Ruzeth> (I guess I mean it's a kid snack usually. It's plenty healthy, but it's like one of the things that pops into ones mind when they think healthy snack.)

10:38 < Ruzeth> (boop Zuthal?)

10:43 < Zuthal> (was getting a snack)

10:43 < Ruzeth> (peanut butter and celery? :P)

10:44 < Zuthal> (salad)

10:45 Zuthal turns towards the pantry, his tail brushing against Ruzeth as he rummages through it. "Hmm... let's see..." he says, pulling out a few eggs and turning to the stove, looking around for a pan. ***

10:49 Ruzeth squirms as the tatzl presses his fur down and continues to much on his cold breakfast. The zebra notices him grab the eggs and points towards a cabinet. "Pans are in there. I've never had griffon eggs before, so make me one too. One of my customers traded them for a potion. I'm betting they were hers." ***

10:50 < Zuthal> (what kind of stove does Ruzeth have?)

10:51 < Ruzeth> (gas)

10:51 Zuthal hums softly, looking the eggs over. "I've actually never had griffon eggs either... usually just eggs from wild birds in the forest," he says, grabbing another one as he places the pan on the stove. "Oh, do you want yours scrambled? And how does your stove work?" ***

10:54 Ruzeth watches as he handles the quite large eggs with interest. They were speckled with brown dots in a white shell, and dense. The zebra flicks on the stove and adjusts the know. "However you usually cook them is fine with me." ***

10:56 Zuthal smiles to him as he turns on the stove. "Thanks... when I tried using Dusk's, I made a flame that went almost up to the ceiling," he says with a chuckle. The tatzl places a bit of oil in the pan and then, one by one, cracks open the eggs and dumps their contents into it. As he does, he stirs them vigorously, seasoning them with some salt and pepper. ***

11:04 Ruzeth blinks as the tatzl explains his experience and then doesn't take an eye off him for one second. "You... What? I'm not going to let you do any more cooking if you do that again," he threatens looking much more worried. Ruzeth grabs a pair of plates and sets them out for the two. ***

11:05 Zuthal shakes his head, chuckling a little. "Hey, it was my first time in a long time cooking with a gas stove... it had just slipped my mind that you need to separately ignite the gas," he says, occasionally stirring the eggs to make sure that they cook evenly. ***

11:12 Ruzeth shakes his head and continues to watch the tatzl cook. "Well of course you do... Dont you have to light whatever stove you use as well? At least this one self lights as you turn it. It's really hard to leak gas with it." ***

11:14 Zuthal shakes his head, looking at the knobs on the stove. "My stove is wood-fired, and I usually just keep the fire burning a little bit, by only giving it a little bit of air, all the time. Also helps with heating, also for the hot water," he says. ***

09:46 Ruzeth makes a face at the mention of a wood stove and shakes his head. "Oh...well I can tell you that gass is a thousand times better than wood. So much easier to control the temperature. But...I guess it would be kind of hard to pipe gas to the forest." ***

09:51 Zuthal chuckles a little bit, nodding to Ruzeth as he takes the pot off the stove and turns it off... after first turning it further up by accident. "Yeah... but wood is still relatively easy to use, and there is plenty of wood around." ***

09:58 < Ruzeth> (I apperently have to go...parents... D: )

10:01 < Zuthal> (fuck them)

10:02 < Ruzeth> (Go enjoy warthunder w/ Dusky or something :P

10:02 < Zuthal> (I'm on a train)

10:02 < Ruzeth> (Ahhh)

10:03 < Zuthal> (and I apparently am spendig too much time having fun and wanting to try out the different planes and not enough rushing through tiers asap)

10:03 < Zuthal> (if I am reading what she said earlier right, re: spreadibg my research too thin)

10:04 < Zuthal> (and I also need to not gorget about MC with Kassc and also do grown up stuff)

10:14 < Zuthal> (also, if my parents pressured me to go outside in the kind of weather you are having, I'd reply that I have better things to do than trying to get pneumonia

10:46 < Ruzeth> (Enjoy it how you want. THere's a reason why it gives you the ability to go into more stuff in the same tier

10:46 < Ruzeth> (They can play down and its fine /shrug

10:46 < Ruzeth> (All the different planes are important)

10:49 Ruzeth watches him turn the knob the wrong way and snickers, but as long as the gas was still burning, he wasn't going to cause any problems. "Its not nearly as nice though...But how about them eggs?" ***

10:49 < Zuthal> (yeah, but I don't even have a real chance agaibst T2 planes)

10:50 < Zuthal> (and they still haven't finished the roadworks here!)

11:05 < Zuthal> (gotta buy some hroceries, then we can play)

12:43 < Ruzeth> (Boop :P)

12:47 Zuthal turns off the stove, before walking over to the table with the eggs. The tatzl scoops them out of the pan and onto the plates, in about a two to one ratio between himself and the zebra, before sitting down on the chair. "They're done~" ***

12:53 Ruzeth smiles as he follows Zuthal out towards the tables, and grabs the bigger plate for himself with a smile. "Mmmm, this smells pretty good. I wonder how they taste~" ***

12:54 Zuthal pouts as Ruzeth pulls the bigger plate over to himself. "Hey, I kind of meant for that to be mine... y'know, because I'm bigger and stuff..." ***

12:56 Ruzeth looks at Zuthal, and then looks back at the plate of tasty eggs and makes a circular motion with one of his hooves. "Alright then...roll over!" He says with a grin. ***

12:57 Zuthal raises a brow at the zebra, shaking his head. "What? No, I'm not going to roll over for you. And why do you want me to roll over, anyways?" ***

13:00 Ruzeth glares at the tatzl and pulls the eggs closer to him, hunching over them so that Zuthal cant get to them. "Well...I want you to earn your bigger plate. So...that means you need to do a trick for me. Roll over." ***

13:01 Zuthal grumbles at the zebra, but then nods, hopping off of the chair he was sitting on. "Fine..." he says, laying on the ground and rolling over, using his tail to push himself into the roll. In the process, it bumps against a chair, knocking it over. ***

13:06 Ruzeth giggles and claps his hooves together and then does another motion, bringing his hoof from vertical to horizontal. "Good job Zuzu~ Now, play dead!" He praises, ignoring the knocked over chair. ***

13:20 Zuthal grumbles again, but nods to Ruzeth, before rolling over onto his back and letting his limbs lay loosely by his sides. ***

13:21 Ruzeth claps his hooves together again and pulls back from the plate and slides it towards Zuthal's chair. "You're such a good boy~" He praises as he relinquishes the eggs. "Now, pick up that chair and then you can eat." The zebra pulls the smaller plate over to him, waiting on Zuthal before he starts himself. ***

13:22 Zuthal glares at Ruzeth as he gets back up, using a flip of his tail to knock the chair back upright, catching it with his coils. "I can't believe I did that for you..." he grumbles, before starting to eat his eggs. ***

13:27 Ruzeth laughs amusedly and begins to eat his eggs, smiling as the familiar and yet slightly strange flavors drift over his tongue. "Mmmm, griffon eggs are actually quite good arnt they?" ***

13:28 Zuthal nods to him, humming softly as he eats his eggs. "Mhm, yeah. A bit stronger than what I'm used to, probably wouldn't be my first choice to put in a cake or something... but definitely good." ***

13:42 Ruzeth nods and gulps down more of his eggs. "Well yes, anyways, it'd be really hard to measure out the proper ratio of chicken egg to griffon egg." ***

13:43 Zuthal shrugs a little bit. "I dunno, couldn't you just, like... weigh a griffon egg and a chicken egg and just make it so that you have the same amount of egg?" ***

13:44 Ruzeth shakes his head. "Not really...you've got the ratio of yolk to white, and other egg proteins. Though...from what I understand, you really cant get ahold of griffon eggs too often anyways." ***

13:46 Zuthal raises a brow at that. "Well, I'd think that the ratio of yolk to white would be roughly the same... or at least close enough that it doesn't really matter. You don't have to be THAT accurate with baking anyways. And yeah, how do you even get griffon eggs? Like, do griffons just lay them all the time, like chicken?" ***

13:48 Ruzeth shakes his head and giggles a bit, "Nah nothing like that, or I think they'd be more willing to part with them. Something like every three months a griffon will lay a clutch, or so I've heard." ***

13:48 < Zuthal> (Gonna be playing some war thunder)

13:49 < Zuthal> (Gotta get them planes)

13:49 Ruzeth (Boots up warthunder he guesses.) ***

13:49 < Ruzeth> Ever get that mouse?

13:50 < Zuthal> (Noep. And yeah, we can then play together. Though I'm already in a call with Tenno.)

13:50 < Zuthal> (Wanna be added to the call?)

13:50 < Ruzeth> (Sure~)

13:50 < Ruzeth> (TS is so much better than a call though :P

13:57 < Zuthal> (Gyro?)

13:57 < Zuthal> (What is of happenings?)

19:00 Ruzeth snuggles a Zuthal ***

19:00 Zuthal wiggles ***

19:49 < Ruzeth> Minecrafting right now?

21:02 < Zuthal> (Am done now)

21:13 < Ruzeth> (Huggles~!)

21:13 < Ruzeth> (You should probably sleep though)

21:21 < Zuthal> (Yeah... wanna help me not sleep?)

21:22 < Ruzeth> (nope, you should sleep

21:23 < Zuthal> (normally you are all over making me stay up :P)

21:23 < Zuthal> (Who are you and what did you do with the real Gyro?)

21:24 < Ruzeth> (Hey! You complained terribly last night, so I'm gonna let you do the responsible thing! And I'm going to continue doing it till you revoke it during the daytime!)

21:25 < Zuthal> (Until I have done the grown-up thing or what?)

21:25 < Zuthal> (Because there are plenty of other things that will distract me too...)

21:25 < Zuthal> (There is no way I'm ever getting to that...)

21:25 < Ruzeth> (No, until you tell me that you want me that you don't mind me keeping you up during the day time.)

21:26 < Zuthal> (Well, it is not daytime yet...)

21:26 < Ruzeth> (Exactly, which is why you cant revoke it tonight)

21:26 < Zuthal> (:P)

21:26 < Zuthal> (Anyways, nini)

04:08 < Zuthal> (Boop)

04:18 < Zuthal> (You can stop not keeping me up now :P)

04:19 Zuthal hums softly, before letting out a small giggle of his own. "Heehee, yeah, that makes more sense. Is there anything you had planned for doing, like, today and stuff?" ***

11:09 Ruzeth nods at Zuthal and finishes off his eggs before grabbing a leash and attaching it to the collar that the stallion removed. "Yep, you wanted to get to explore the town today right? You'll have to wear the collar when you go out, but as long as your'e good, I wont make you wear it at home," he says with a smile. "I'll even let you lead the exploration~" ***

11:10 Zuthal grumbles a little bit as he sees the leash, quickly finishing off his eggs. "You know, not all ponies with, like... dogs or other pets I have seen have them on a leash..." he says, before giving his wings a flap. "Also, can I fly? I wanna fly!" ***

11:15 Ruzeth shakes his head and moves to try and put the collar around Zuthal's neck. "I mean sure...but those are animals people clearly know as pets. You wouldnt want to be mistaken as a monster who got into town would you? And maybe later. I wanna take you around town first." ***

11:16 Zuthal pouts to the zebra, more upset, actually, at being grounded than at being put on a leash. "But if I can fly, I'll be able to find my way around the city much better. I've seen a map of it before, and it looks pretty much like that from above." ***

11:19 Ruzeth smiles as Zuthal lets him put the collar on and lock it tight with the new combo. "Sure, but you wont get to actually experience it up there. How about this? We wander till we're done, and then you can fly us home and we can see where we've benn." ***

11:27 Zuthal lets out a sigh, but nods to the zebra. "Fine... and besides, I thought you'd want to fly with me, then. But fine, though I don't really know what all there is in the city..." ***

11:34 Ruzeth shivers as he thinks back to the trip he'd taken with Zuthal not terribly long ago. "But...flying is scary? What if you drop me and then have to catch me in your tentacles right as I"m about to hit the ground or something?" He respons in an anxious voice. The Zebra gets up and pulls on the lead, directing Zuthal towards the door. ***

11:35 Zuthal points to the collar as the zebra expresses his worries, getting up to follow him. "Well, you could just hold onto that, so it wouldn't be like you'd have to fall... and I think that'd be better than hitting the ground, right?" ***

11:39 Ruzeth shivers again at the image of him splatting on the ground, looking even more terrified. "I was trying not to think of that possibililty..." He complains, tugging the tatzl out the door. "Now just dont speak loud enough for anypony else to hear while we're out." ***

11:42 Zuthal grumbles at the zebra's words, not making any effort to keep his voice below a normal speaking level as he talks. "But... I don't want to have to be quiet. And if ponies will think that you shouldn't have me as a pet or something because I can talk, then you shouldn't have me as one anyways, right?" ***

11:44 Ruzeth rolls his eyes and sighs, heading out through theh lobby and going towards the front door, Zuthal in tow. He gives a little wave at the desk worker, smiling as he drags his pet on by. "I just dont want you to scare anypony is all...what if they see your three tongues?" ***

11:46 Zuthal shakes his head, though he also waves and smils at the desk worker as they walk by, keeping up fast enough to let the leash stay slack. "Well, that's not really got that much to do with how loud I talk... and unless you're right next to me, you won't really see them anyways." ***

11:48 Ruzeth steps outside and indicates to his bet to lead the way. "Well I suppose...but you still should keep a little quiet at least, if only to make things easier on the both of us. Anyways, pick a direction and I'll follow." ***

11:50 Zuthal nods to the zebra, picking a direction more or less at random – a left turn – and starting to walk at what is a normal pace for him, but would be a rather brisk pace for the zebra. "Fine... though you could maybe also use that to, I dunno... impress ponies or something..." ***

11:55 Ruzeth shrugs and follows at the quickened pace, keeping the lead of the leach around one o fhis front legs. They start out along the docks, the smell of sea spray in the air wiht a beautiful view of the ocean. "I suppose there are some ponies who might be impressed. But we should wait and see, you know?" ***

12:01 Zuthal takes a deep breath of the salty air, dragging the zebra along the docks until he stands right at the edge of the water, drawing quite a few looks on the way. He looks out over the blue ocean, watching the waves roll against the breakers. ***

12:09 Ruzeth looks out over the ocean and steps forward to rub his pet's fur with his hoof as the waves roll on by. "Pretty isnt it? I bet you've never gotten to see it like this, with all the boats on the water" He says, with a happy smile on his face, glad to share. ***

12:09 < Ruzeth> (They need to duck into a small park or something at some point :P)

12:09 < Ruzeth> (Or an alley...just somewhere they might have a little alone time and encounter a mean pony~)

12:10 Zuthal nods to him, smiling happily. "Mhm... before I came here, I hadn't really ever seen that much water in one place. And before now, I'd still only seen it while flying over the city, and that was always at night... so I didn't get to see too much of it. It looks like there is no end..." ***

12:14 Ruzeth points way accross the ocean with a mixed expression on his face. He still longed for home sometimes despite all teh new friends he'd made here, and his new learning. "Well...there is. A long way over there there is another land, just as big as equestria. That's where I came from." ***

12:15 Zuthal sits down on the ground, patting the spot next to him with a hoof. "Mhm... my home is almost the entirely opposite way... our homes must be on opposite ends of the world..." ***

12:18 Ruzeth takes a seat, staring out at the water as the waves crash in, turning into a bit of a grin. "Maybe...I dont really know where you are...but Zebrica is only about a quarter of the way around the world from here. The start anyways." ***

12:20 Zuthal lets out a soft sigh, laying a hoof on Ruzeth's shoulders. "Well... I don't really know how far that is... or how big this world is. But it'd surely take me a month to fly from here to my homeland. Do you miss it?" ***

12:24 Ruzeth sighs and nods, laying his head against Zuthal's side, tail jingling back and forth as it slowly waves. "Yes...yes I do sometimes, but much good has happened to me here...I wont be going back for a long while...if at all." ***

12:25 Zuthal nods to Ruzeth, gently rubbing a hoof over his back. "Mhm, I know what you mean... I've found a few really nice ponies over here... though I don't know how Inky is going to take you having me as a pet," he says with a chuckle. ***

12:27 Ruzeth laughs and gets to his feet, shaking his head. "Oh dont worry, I think she'll be fine with it, maybe even think it funny that such a tiny zebra has tamed a tatzl. I'd be happy to let her borrow you for a bit though!~" He says with a giggle. "But shall we move on? There's a lot of city to see." ***

12:30 < Zuthal> (we'll need to take this to the channel at some point, both to do stuff with this with Inky and with Lucent :P)

12:30 < Ruzeth> (could certainly be fun. Though we have a rude pony to nom first :P)

12:34 Zuthal giggles a little bit as he gets back up, turning around to walk back down the road they came. "Heehee, maybe. That could be fun... Though what do you do if she doesn't want to give me back?" he asks, his wings open slightly to let the stiff sea breeze flow through them. ***

12:39 Ruzeth pulls Zuthal the opposite direction, trying to lead him onwards through the docks district where his coltfriend worked. "Well, if she doesnt want to give you back...I'd probably have to sue her for you," He says, giggling a bit at the prospect. "That'd be super sily though." ***

12:40 Zuthal pokes the zebra's nose with a coil, not really thinking about keeping them hidden as he follows along. "Hey, don't do that. And besides, I think Inky prolly would give me back eventually... she's a nice pony and stuff." ***

12:42 Ruzeth giggles at the poke and then pounces as they move forward to explore more of the city. "Well hopefully, but you always see in teh newspapers about these silly suits and it'd be fun to have one of my own sometime maybe." ***

12:42 < Zuthal> (Can we please NOT make Equestia like 'murica in that regard? Or... any regard, really?)

12:43 < Ruzeth> (Hey this is not canon :B)

12:43 < Zuthal> (Canon usage of imperial units is bad enough)

12:43 < Zuthal> (as in, show canon)

12:43 < Ruzeth> (I dont actually think that ponies sue each other.)

12:44 < Ruzeth> (But the thought is amusing :P or at least not as often as in any human world.)

12:44 Zuthal giggles a little bit, shaking his head. "I don't know why ponies care so much about stuff like that anyways... why can't they just, like... all live together perfectly and get along with each other?" ***

12:44 < Zuthal> (s/human world/murica/)

12:53 Ruzeth shrugs and tuns into a side street, leading the pair near a pretty park. It was a small green area with a couple of trees and shrubs to break up the monotonous buildings. "I dont know, but its pretty funny. It probably has to do with their use of money," Ruzeth asserts. Inside the park, on a bench, sits a dark blue earth pony with a dark purlple mane and tail who doesnt notice the pair at first. ***

12:55 Zuthal smiles softly as he walks into the park, happily waving his tail. "Yeah, probably... that only leads to problems... I don't think anyone should really deal with it, our system is much better than money." ***

13:03 Ruzeth nods at Zuthal, and leads him in front of the pony as they walk the small track. The tree's isolate them from the roadway as they enter. "Ya that money stuff is really silly."

13:03 SeaBreeze blinks in confusion as she sees the two ponies and then narrows her eyes as she focuses on the zebra. "Yo stripey! WHat do you think you're doing in this neighborhood?" He asks scowling and aproaching the two. "Take your pet monster and leave." ***

13:12 Zuthal growls at the mare as she speaks, narrowing his eyes as he lowers his stance. Between his teeth, he hisses at Ruzeth "Let me off, and I will make her regret saying that." ***

13:16 Ruzeth watches as the pony continues to approach with a menacing growl in mer voice. "I said GET GOING." She shouts in a menacing voice, continuing to approach. The zebra tugs on the leash, taking a couple steps back before he hears Zuthal's hiss. "W-we were just going..." He says as he timidly as he pulls the leash close, bringing the collar into reaching distance and undo's it, letting it slip off. ***

13:17 Zuthal smirks a little bit as he hears the click, moving to the side a bit to get clear of Ruzeth before he jumps, aimed right at the mare. If he were to hit her, he would be sure to at least pin her under his bulk, and probably hurt or possibly even injure her due to his large mass. ***

13:21 Ruzeth holds onto the leash as the collar falls to the side, wincing as he see's the tatzl collide with the earth mare, knocking her down with just her hind legs under him. She lets out a yelp of suprise and pain as he collides and turns to Ruzeth. "Call off your animal now!" ***

13:22 Zuthal moves to pin the rest of her body underneath him, growling right into the mare's ear. "And why would he do that? So that you can keep spewing your racist bullshit? So that you can attack him just for being like he is?" ***

13:28 Ruzeth frowns as Zuthal begins to yell at the mare, watching the two go at it. She struggles but despite her fighting she's soon pinned down by the tatzl's mass. "Because if he doesnt then I'll make sure the guards no, and they'll put you down, and arrest your master there." She says, spitting in Zuthal's face. The zebra frowns at the words and turns to Zuthal. "You know...maybe we should just be on our way Zu..." ***

13:30 Zuthal lets out a louder growl as she spits in his face, spitting back at her and exposing his coils for a moment at the same time. At Ruzeth's words, he shakes his head. "No, we can't be sure that she won't tell anypony, even if we let her go now." ***

13:34 Ruzeth blinks at the stallion and then looks back at the terrible pony. "Well...its not like we can do anything else...we do have to let her back up sometime...and now is better than later. At least we can argue self defnse..." Ruzeth says back.

13:34 SeaBreeze squints her eyes at the spit and then manages to get a hoof free, punching Zuthal in the side. "Yes, listen to your stripes over there and get off." ***

13:38 Zuthal gets up from her, though in response to the punch, he briefly puts his entire weight on her in the process. "Fine. And you, go away. And if we ever run into you again..." he says, letting the words hang in the air. The tatzl turns around abruptly, swinging his tail around sharply behind him before walking back to Ruzeth. ***

13:40 < Ruzeth> (Aww, you should have eaten her :P)

13:42 Ruzeth turns to walk away from the pony, waving Zuthal along and fumbling with the collar to trya dn get it back on, when the tatzl feels a sharp pain as a rock impacts his back.

13:42 SeaBreeze cries out after the two had turned thier backs, "Good, get going!" following it up with a couple more rocks, most of them failing to score a hit. ***

13:45 Zuthal yelps as one of the rocks hits his back, picking one up in a coil and turning around sharply to throw it at the mare. It misses, though it lands close enough to make it clear to her that he had intended to hit. The tatzl walks towards her again, keeping his eyes on her as he says nothing, only letting out a low growl. ***

13:50 Ruzeth fails to get the collar back onto his friend as Zuthal yelps and turns to throw a rock. One of the ones thrown by the mare pelts Ruzeth in the head, leaving him stunned as Zuthal nears her.

13:50 SeaBreeze calls out, "Stupid monocrhome pest! Get your pet under control!" backing away from the creature, though he was closing the distance faster than she moved. ***

13:53 Zuthal keeps approaching until he is right next to her, looking down at the mare as his hot breath washes over her face. Any trace of the tatzl's usual friendly demeanor are gone, as he reaches over to his side with a coil, only to realise that he had left his bags, and with them his knife, as well as his javelins, at home. ***

13:56 Ruzeth takes a bit to recover, but when he does, he rushes towards the group, wanting to stop Zuthal before he did anything too rash.

13:56 SeaBreeze wrinkles her nose at his hot breath and scowls at zuthal, letting out a bit of a squeak as she see's his strange tongue. "Get away from me, you freak." She punctuates this with a headbut to his snout, hoping to beat him away. ***

13:58 Zuthal opens his mouth as she headbutts him, the mare briefly able to see the tatzl's lower jaw splitting before being plunged into the slimy darkness of his mouth. Zuthal's coils rub over her fur as he quickly draws her entire head in, covering it in the slimy saliva. ***

14:02 Ruzeth reaches the two to see the mare burried in the tatzls mouth and gives Zuthal a soft bap to his head. "Spit her out...this isnt going to make things any better..."

14:02 SeaBreeze grunts and squirms as she presses her hooves to the stallion's mouth, trying to pull out. Each of her protests are rendered unintelligable by a sweeping coil. ***

14:03 < Zuthal> (they all make the same mistake...)

14:04 < Ruzeth> (Its the natural reaction :P)

14:05 Zuthal uses his coils to pull the mare's pushing hooves into his maw, starting to swallow them down. He wastes no time in swallowing her, the mare's shoulders and chest soon disappearing into his maw as he is less than careful in applying his saliva to her, instead focusing on swallowing her as fast as possible. ***

14:06 < Ruzeth> (Nono, the collar hadnt been reapplied. :P)

14:07 < Ruzeth> Ruzeth fails to get the collar back onto his friend as Zuthal yelps and turns to throw a rock.

14:07 < Zuthal> (Oh, I thought he had just taken the leash off the collar :P)

14:07 < Ruzeth> (Nah, he pulled it off :B)

14:13 Ruzeth frowns as he watches Zuthal disobey his order and sighs, taking a seat on the ground near them. "Alright then...just be fast at least. We cant have anypony seeing this..." He responds with a frown.

14:13 SeaBreeze grunts and kicks with everything she has, doing her best to try and squirm herself out of the throat as she's brought down rather quckly. The slime in his throat would be more than enough to protect her for some time, though probably not up to teh full 12 hours. ***

14:15 Zuthal rather quickly takes in her belly and her rump, his own belly starting to bulge out as her hooves and her head enter it. With a few more gulps, he slurps up her legs, before sending her the rest of the way down into his hot, tight, slimy stomach. ***

14:21 Ruzeth continues to scowl at Zuthal as he slurps up the rest of the mare, frowning as he finally finishes her off. He can hear muffled noises and see her movements as she flails around in the chamber, but he assumes from teh lack of distinct words that Zuthal must be holding her mouth closed. "Well...what are we going to do now then...I guess first we should get us home so that we can think..." He says, relocking the collar around Zuthal's neck. ***

14:27 Zuthal nods to Ruzeth as the collar locks around his neck, the tatzl purring softly at the feeling of her movement as he rubs over his belly. "Yeah... though we can't really let anypony see me like this..." ***

14:31 Ruzeth uses his now much wider stomach as a bit of a stepping stool, climbing up so that he rested on his back and uses the leash as a makeshift hoof hold. The squriming bulge he can feel under his hind legs feels really weird as the pony moves. "Ya...you're right. We should fly home and rush past hte doorman..." ***

14:42 < Ruzeth> (Boop?)

14:43 Zuthal hums softly at the zebra's suggestion. "Do you think some of your windows could be big enough for me to fly through?" he asks as he flaps his wings to slowly rise up into the air, the wind washing up from them messing up the zebra's fur. ***

14:45 Ruzeth shakes his head as the rings chime gently in the wind, the ties keeping his hair mostly in an organized position. "No...no way you can fit through one of those...You do remember wehere I live right?" He asks, hoping that the occupant wouldnt throw them too much off balance with her moving. ***

14:48 Zuthal nods to him, flying up high enough that anypony on the ground would be unable to make his shape out enough to tell that something is amiss. As he passes over the house where Ruzeth lives, he turns to fly away from it, parallel to a street leading straight away from the door. ***

14:51 Ruzeth watches as Zuthal misses the apartmetn and presses a hoof to his head. "It was that building right there..." He says, pointing to it and waiting for Zuthal to land. "Do you think you can tie her up more? I want you to just look fat..." ***

14:52 Zuthal shakes his head, before turning it to face the zebra. "You live on the ground floor, right? And your door was, if I recall correctly, in line wiht the front door... and I think I can manage to fit through both..." he says as he turns around, lining himslef up with the front door. ***

14:55 Ruzeth blinks as Zuthal prepares for a dive and hunches down. "Not quite...its down that halway straight ahead...but its on the right side at the end. And no...I always close my door silly." He says, shaking his hed, "But at least we should swoop past the doorman..." ***

14:58 < Zuthal> (Not diving yet)

14:59 < Ruzeth> (fixed~)

15:00 Zuthal hums softly as he looks at the front door, before giving a small nod. "Okay. Keep your head down, I don't know how well your front door is going to react to this, though," he says as he flaps his wings hard, building up speed while going into a sharp dive at the same time. ***

15:01 Ruzeth squeaks as he feels the rush of speed as Zuthal dives down. The front door would swing open, but Zuthal would probably have to slow down to not collide too hard with it. Still they could get pretty close without having to break. The zebra grimaces, holding on as tight as he can, heart pounding. ***

15:03 < Zuthal> (Slowing down? Nope.)

15:06 Zuthal pushes on, only closing up his wings moments before he collides with the door. He hits it square in the middle, causing it to swing open and smash against the wall as he zooms past the stunned doorpony, into the hallway. The tatzl puts his hooves to the ground, skidding along for a bit before comming to a stop, just past the zebra's door. ***

15:21 Ruzeth winces as he hears the hard crash, followed by the shouts of the person at the front Desk. As Zuthal skids to a halt near his door, the zebra jumps off his back and unlocks his door, ushering the tatzl in before they can figure out who caused the damage. ***

15:23 < Zuthal> (you know, he probably at least smashed out... whatever you call that mechanism that keeps a door closed unless you turn the handle)

15:23 Zuthal quickly follows the zebra in, rubbing his head with a hoof as it does hurt a bit after having crashed into the door, which luckily had not offered that much resistance. "Ouch... okay, that might have been a bit of a bad idea..." ***

15:28 Ruzeth closes the door quickly and locks it, leading Zuthal into the center of the room before he unhooks the leash, but distinctly leaving the collar intact as his bulge continues to wiggle. "You think? I just hope they dont realize it was me and make me pay for damages..." ***

15:29 Zuthal lets out a sigh, plodding over towards the couch and flopping down on top of it, squishing his belly. "Yeah... well, I don't think they will realise it... I think he didn't even recognise that it was me... he'd much less have noticed you on my back." ***

15:32 Ruzeth nods and sighs softly, following Zuthal to the love seat that they made use of as a couch, and lays on top of him, feeling the pony squirming inside. "We still need to figure out what to do with her..." ***

15:33 Zuthal rubs a hoof over his belly, finally uncurling his coils from around her, also allowing the mare to talk. "Mhm... though I don't think I can let her out with that collar on... though I don't think that would be a good idea either..." ***

15:36 Ruzeth fowns and stares at the squirming belly as it jiggles underneat him, giving his hoof a rub. "I suppose you're right...cant very well let her out with that collar on...and I did say that if you were bad you were going to have to wear that till you made up for it... Eating somepony is pretty bad so I cant very well take it off till you're sufficiently punished, you know?" ***

15:37 Zuthal looks up at the zebra, letting out a sigh. "But... she was being a terrible pony, and she was throwing rocks at us. And bad ponies have to be punished too, and that was just the way I could think of at the time to punish her..." ***

15:39 Ruzeth shakes his head and squirms to get comfortable. "I dont care...it's really hard to get somepony to not complain when you've eaten them...I'm sure I'm the only one who own something ofyour description too...That collar isnt coming off till you've been punished.." ***

15:42 Zuthal pouts at Ruzeth. "But... I have to let her out, right? So you have to uncollar me... though as I said... I don't know if letting her out would even be a good idea..." ***

15:46 Ruzeth shakes his head at the pouting stallion and attempts to uncross his hooves. "Sure, we'll let her out after I think your punishment is over. I'm sure you wont mess up too badly before tomorrow morning..." He says, with a grin. "Besides...you are kinda comfortable like this." ***

15:47 Zuthal gently rubs over his full belly, feeling the mare's movements slowing down as she slowly tires herself out. "Yeah, but... what if she then goes and calls the guards on us when I let her out?" ***

15:52 Ruzeth pats the belly as he feelst eh squriming slow, and says into it. "I think she can guess what might happen if we have to flee the guards, cant you?" He says with a smile, nestling up on the tatzls stomach. "Actually I could even whip her something up so that she forgets..." ***

15:53 Zuthal lets out a sigh as he pats his belly as well, feeling it churn around the mare as it tries to digest her. "But... I don't want to have to flee... I don't even want to risk it. What if that potion doesn't work, or you can't give it to her?" ***

15:55 Ruzeth pats Zuthal on the head and curls into an even better position closing his eyes. "Dont worry...the potion will work and then we'll be free to go. I'm more worried about paying for damages next time they see your fat ass than the potion failing." ***

15:58 Zuthal keeps rubbing over his belly as he relaxes. "I guess... though it's a shame that I didn't really properly taste her... swallowed her down as fast as I could..." ***

16:22 Ruzeth shrugs and lets out a bit of yawn, and curls up tighter, letting his tail hang down over the bulge. "I suppose...but cant you just taste her in there? And...I think it might be high time for a nap..." ***

16:23 Zuthal pouts and lets out a sigh. "It's not the same..." he says, before letting out a small yawn. "But yeah, I agree with you... I just hope she'll be okay for however long I'll have to keep her in there." ***

16:31 Ruzeth nods against the pony's warm fur and yawns even softer this time, allowing himself to be rocked to sleep by the gentle squirming underneath him. ***

16:32 Zuthal soon falls asleep as well, lulled in by the feeling of his full gut as his hooves gently wrap around it. ***

16:37 Ruzeth sleeps on Zuthal for most of the day, since they'd gotten back before lunch even. As they sleep, it would seem that the coating of saliva didn't hold up nearly as well this time and the occupant would begin to put up a massive fight before it dies out, going still and slowly becoming formless. By the time Ruzeth stirs awake he'd notice that the stomach, while not empty, was quite squishy and gurgling. ***

16:39 Zuthal stays asleep even as the mare is digested and Ruzeth wakes up, the process of digestion taking quite a lot of energy out of the tatzl and prolonging his nap. ***

16:45 Ruzeth frowns as he feels the squishy form underneath him as he hops off and sighs...It looked like she wasn't going to get out afterall then. The zebra shakes his head and decides that only serves her right and goes off to make dinner while his friend naps, getting everything ready for Lucent. ***
