A Revealing Visit at the Lotus

25 November 2013

02:00 GyroTech walks behind her in silence for a bit, still not wholey comfortable with the sitaution, and quite disapointed. Still, he didn't like her expression and wanted to offer her some measure of distraction. "When we were in the market this morning, I was looking for a gift to get my mother. Perhaps we could head back there?" ***

02:02 Lupine perks up as she looks back at Gyro, grinning ear to ear. Oddly enough, her eyes were back to a soft blue, her expression soft. "Oh...I'd love that..." She then gives him a quick nuzzle. "Your mother...she sounds like a very nice...mare..."

22:56 GyroTech frowns quite deeply. "Well, I suppose she is... though she has so many expectations that I've not really lived up too." He kicks the ground a bit in frustration before starting off towards the market. ***

22:58 Lupine sighs as she shuts her eyes, already feeling tired of acting the part of some prissy noblemare. Her voice is soft again as she gives Gyro a gentle nuzzle. "Um...do you think she'll...approve of me...?" She seems to fidget just a bit as she walked alongside the unicorn. "Becuase...I don't want...to make things worse..." ***

23:05 GyroTech smiles at her reassuringly. "Oh cmon, you saw how excited Windsor was to see a 'child of Luna' I'm sure you'll be just fine." His eyes seemed quite down trodden at the subject at hand though. "I just wish they'd let me be myself." ***

23:06 GyroTech continues, "Honestly I'm more worried about introducing them to Naisol. Her wild nature will most assuredly trouble them. ***

23:08 Lupine giggles a bit as she gives Gyro a lick on the cheek. "Oh...but Naisol is a...wonderful pony! She is very kind...and..." She frowns a bit as she thinks some more. "You're right...my parents would...never approve of her, either..." She sighs as she keeps on walking. "Why are...ponies so...stuck up?"

23:12 GyroTech gives her a confused look. "They would approve of you dating a mare?" he asks, seeming to have missed the point. He continues to trot along towards the market, slowing his pace a bit. ***

23:14 Lupine deadpans at Gyro, slowing down as well. "N-no! I mean...they would never approve...of somepony with her...enthusiasm..." She looks down and keeps on walking. "Besides...I don't know if...I'm even attracted to...mares..." ***

23:16 GyroTech gives her a teasing smile. "So, are you attracted to this stallion?" The streets start to liven up quite a bit as they approach the outdoor market where all the vendors are selling their wares. ***

23:17 Lupine meeps a bit as she turns away, trying to hide the blush on her face. "W-well...I...never really..." She shakes her head as if to clear it, trying to change the subject. "What does...your mother like? I mean...you already have something...in mind, I hope..."

23:20 GyroTech giggles and pursues it a little further. "Well, what she would really like, is me bringing home a pretty Noble mare who was intrested in me." He leans in and whispers that into her ear. ***

23:22 Lupine lets out a squeak as she straightens up, looking at Gyro with a timid expression. "B-but...what about...N-Naisol? I...don't want to make...her feel jealous..." She gulps as she already has terrible images of her being swallowed up by that mare, never to be seen again. "I...I don't want to be her...dinner..."

23:26 GyroTech smirks a little. "Well, I did get her to promise not to eat any more ponies permanantly. She'd let you out alive eventually. And...Its not like she hasn't made moves on Fallfeathers before anyways." ***

23:29 Lupine lets out a sigh of relief as she starts to look about the market. "That's...that's good. I...just don't want to...make her sad, either...she's a good mare...and you're lucky to...have her..." She starts to smile again as she looks back to Gyro. "I'll...play the part...of the noble mare...for you, and your parents..."

23:33 GyroTech laughs quite heartily. "I knew all the mares were interested in me." he says quite full of himself. "Anyways, that wont be nessesary. They'll probably be less disapointed if I don't show interest in a noble first." He begins to browse about the wares. ***

23:37 Lupine huffs a bit as she felt like she was tricked, giving Gyro a quick nip in the ear before looking about , herself. "Please...don't mistake...this for interest...I was trying...to help a friend..." She sticks out her tongue slightly before coming upon some silver brooches, many of them were intricately designed. "Hmmm...does your...mother like...this kind of jewelry?"

23:38 < GyroTech> (I think I'm too drunk. for some reason that reply has me cracking up)

23:38 < Lupine> (Oh?)

23:42 GyroTech flinches and rubs his ear with a hoof. "Sure...sure...I think you're just disapointed that I'm already taken." Gyro retorts, with a sly grin on his face." Gyro inspects the brooches. "She's more of a fan of headware, horn jewelery and crowns and the like, and gold suits her a little better. I"m sure one of the merchants here will have something to suit." Gyros eye's do seem to keep latching on to the plots of different mares as they walk down the street more often than the wares the various vendors were selling. ***

23:44 < GyroTech> (That ended real early sadly. Well at least I'm fully devoted to you now, and I've not got a set time to wake up in the morning.)

23:47 Lupine rolls her eyes as she sees how the lusty unicorn was enjoying the plot show, seeing him dart from mare to mare as though he's never seen one, before. "Of course...I am sooo...disappointed...that I am not at your...beck and call..." She giggles softly as she heads over to the jewel section of the market, inspecting various horn rings and golden crowns. She smiles as she see the jewel encrusted golden ring, with a very nice design based around the sun. "oh...Gyro, come here!" ***

23:53 GyroTech seems to have not noticed or completly ignored her sarcasm. "I knew you were. It just shows in the way tyou carry yourself next to me." He turns his attentions to the piece she pointed out and its sister piece a silver moon. "Ooooohhhh, those are quite pretty he observes and after checking sizes purchases both of them and then a pair of finely crafted cresent moon shaped earings, which he attempts to fit onto Lupines ears. ***

23:57 Lupine meeps as she stands perfectly still, not daring to move as she hopes he knows what he's doing. "U-um...I don't...know how much this all...costs..." She blushes a bit as she lets him put on the earings, but she still doesn't forget his less than stellar attitude towards mares in general. "Y-you...know...I'm still not...happy with you...thinking that...I'm falling for you..."

00:06 GyroTech slips the earings into her ear holes and clips them on. "Those look just perfect on you." He pulls a bank note out of his pouch and slips it to the seller. "Neither do I, but it will be fine." He watches as the sellear finalizes the transaction and then turns back to Lupine smiling at her. "You don't have to play QUITE so hard to get you know." ***

00:09 Lupine huffs a bit as she leans forward to Gyro. "That's...not the point! You...already have a nice...marefriend, and you're...trying to hit on me?" She shakes her head as she turns away. "What would she...think...if she knew about...this? I don't...want to lose a friend...over something so...silly..."

00:13 GyroTech rolls his eyes a little. "I'm aloud to have some fun just not too much fun. Just let the moment go where it will." He winks at her. "She's not the jealous type anyways. Well now that I've found a gift, do you care to browse a little bit more?" ***

00:15 Lupine sighs a bit and shakes her head. "N-no...I just want...to have some fun...and maybe relax...at the same time..." She starts to smile a bit as she starts to take the initiative on the news about Naisol. "And...I think you'll like...what I have in store..." She gives his neck a gentle lick, her fangs grazing his flesh in a ticklish manner.

00:17 GyroTech shivers a little as her fangs nip his neck, but he doesn't pull away this time. His grin widens as he looks at her now. "And what might that be?" His tail flicks about in excitement, occasinally brushing against her own. ***

00:24 Lupine giggles as she gives him a second lick. "I was thinking...a nice deluxe package...at the spa..." She grins toothily up at him, letting her fangs barely show. "With dinner, afterwards...and maybe some...of my family wine..." She giggles at the idea of shwoing him something that came from home. "Oh...you have yet to try...good wine...until you had...the Wingate Cabernet...so heady...and yet...so delightful..." SHe licks her lips at the thought.

00:27 GyroTech begins to salivate at the though almost begining to drool before he catches himself and closes his mouth. "Oooh, t hat sounds absolutely deligthful. I mean...I've never been tha much of a spa pony but its nice sometimes, but a good dinner and an excellent bottle of wine? I just can't resist your charm." He gives her a tight hug and a quick peck on the cheek, before giving a quick lick accross the ear and breaking away. ***

00:31 Lupine giggles as she felt her ears twitch about, already thinking about which place to go to. "Oh...I was told...by Lupine that...the best place for a spa...and dinner...was the White Lotus..." She then takes another moment to think as she leans onto Gyro slightly, purring a bit. "BUt...you know this town...better than him, I bet...so...do you know...of any place?"

00:35 GyroTech seems a little bit taken aback. "You mean to get into the White Lotus, but havn't yet set up a reservation for today?" Hes iears fold flat against his head and he takes a breath of air to prepare to give her disapointing new. "While yes that is the best in town...Even I don't have the influence to get us in without a reservation. Perhaps...we might need to scale down a bit." His voice deflates as he speaks leaving the endning tone quite sorrowful. ***

00:38 Lupine smirks as she pulls out a little slip of paper. "Oh, dear...and I thought...that you were the noble pony who can...get anything you want..." She giggles as she hooves over the slip. "One of the...few perks of...working for the Rose..." At that, she smiles and gives him a gentle peck on the cheek. "I already...had plans to head in...at least once this week..."

00:44 GyroTech scowls as she mentions him being a noble pony. "Hey, I've chosen a different life than that...even so...not even the nobles can getg in without an appointment. His eyes go wid in ammaisment as he reads the note she passed him. "But...this bares the note of the establishment...How did you get something like this?" I thought only the close friends of White Lotus herself could get access like that." ***

00:50 Lupine grins as she puts a hoof to her chest. "Why...White Lotus has been very close with...ponies like us..." She giggles as she leaves it at that. "In any case...I have seen her...a couple of times...outside of work...so she would be...happy to accept you...too..." She starts to make her way out of the market area, waiting for Gyro to follow. "Don't worry...she likes to...treat her friends...to dinner...too..."

22:21 GyroTech follows along beside her letting her lead the way towards the renown spa. "Ponies like us? But I'd never heard any such things happening here in Canterlot." He has one ear flopped down looking at her with intrigue. ***

22:24 Lupine giggles as she adjusts the earrings just a tad, shaking her head at Gyro. "I...I take it that...you haven't seen...White Lotus, have you?" She then turns a bit more serious as she looks ahead, putting her hood back up. "In fact...you never...heard what...she looks like...I'll bet..."

22:27 GyroTech frowns, thingking back on it, "Umm, no, I guess not...I've only ever had things done by her employees." He frowns even deeper as she pulls the hoood up. "Must you weart that thing? It clashes with the rest of your dress." ***

22:30 Lupine sighs as she hesistantly pulls it away from her head, tucking it away neatly under her dress. "It's...a habit of mine. You...you know how...some ponies...like to...stare..." She then puts her head down a bit as she felt a bit naked in front of the bustle of the town, already drawing a couple of stares. "But...yes, White Lotus...like to...keep things...private...on her end..." ***

22:33 GyroTech smiles genuinely at her, "They stare right now because you're so beautiful. Nobels tend to attact all sorts of stares as they go about their business, cause the commoners want to be careful not to step on any hooves." Gyro holds himself up quite proudly, enjoying the attention himself. ***

22:35 Lupine narrows her eyes as she looks over at Gyro disapprovingly. "I'm...I'm not like the...nobles. I've...seen how a lot...of them...treat other ponies...and I don't...like them for it..." She then stares ahead to avoid looking at him, as if she was angry. "Nopony...is better than others...just because...they were born into...the right family..."

22:40 GyroTech deflates under her gaze, his posture drooping. "I guess you're right, its just, the perks are nice some times. Still, its not like nobility doesn't have its hardships as well, I left cause I couldn't stand all the formalities." He walks silently beside her feeling a little downtrodden. ***

22:43 Lupine sighs as she puts a leathery wing over him, hearing from his tone of voice that he at least listened. "I...I don't want you...to end up like...Windsor...or nobles like him..." She perks up when the mare sees the rather elegant-looking building with a sign made of inlaid ivory, indicating that the pair were almost there. "Oh...I hope she's...in. It's been...too long!"

22:52 GyroTech leans into her, the wing comforting him a little. "Oh, its too late for me to end up like that anyways. I may not be disowned, but I've killed all my chances at ending up in an important position by following my heart, except maybe one of the heads of technology, but even those arn't really noble positions." Gyro relaxers a little as she gets excited. "I'm sure she will be." ***

22:59 Lupine pushes the door open, letting the warm air waft over the pair as they were already greeted by a pair of attendants. They were all mares, the ones who seem to be caring for the place, mostly a mix of unicorns and pegasi. The bat mare smiles as she flicks her fluffy ears against Gyro's face, giggling as she heads over to the front desk.

23:00 < GyroTech> (Okay, do you want to take over for a couple of the attendants, and I'll take White Lotus? Also, I'm switching back to my phone.)

23:04 < Lupine> Hmm...

23:08 < Lupine> (Can you see this? )

23:15 < GyroTech> (Sorry was fixing dinner)

23:20 GyroTech follows Lupine inside, though his eyes seemed to flick from mare to mare as he looks each of them over, quite intently. "The girls are always so pretty here." he sighs.

23:20 The_attendant puts a gentle hoof on Lupine. "How's it going miss? Are you here for a couples speacial" she asks, looking over Gyro and winking at Lupine. ***

23:28 Lupine smiles as she then slips a note to the attendant. "Please... tell my friend that... the moonlight shines...on the flowery meadows..." She then whispers into the attendants ear, giving a bending look to Gyro. "I think...Miss Lotus will be... happy with... my friend...."

23:35 GyroTech gives Lupine a curious look. "What was that all about? I thought the couples speacial sounded delightful." He smiles mischieviously at her, before turning his attention back to the other mares as he takes a seat.

23:43 < Lupine> (Lost myvdamn post)

23:45 < GyroTech> :(

23:50 Lupine lifts up her dress before sitting down on the move pillow, giving Gyro an equally mischievous grin before looking about the atmospheric spa. For a mare that seems to be excited, this doesn't seem like her first time. "You know...I really think...Lotus would love you."

23:59 GyroTech leans into her as he waits for the ponies to return, snuggling close to Lupine.

23:59 The_attendant soon returns and wals ofver to the two of them. "Lotus will see you two now, she seems to be in an exceptionally good mood today." She then leads them into a back room, down well decorated hallways.

23:59 Gyro 's eyes gravitate to the mares rump as they walk down the hall. "She is a pretty on isn't she," he whispers to lupine. ***

00:08 < Lupine> (Give me 20, walking home)

00:36 < Lupine> (back!)

00:38 < GyroTech> (Yay!)

00:44 Lupine rolls her eyes as she sees that Gyro was already being mesmerized by someponys' plot, nipping at his cheek in annoyance. "You...you'll never change..." Her lips curl up into a smile as she licks where she nipped him, having to stop herself from licking her own fangs before coming up to a pair of ornate doors.

00:44 The_attendant then knocks on the door and waits. After a few moments, the door opens, and the attendant motions for the pair to walk into the special spa room.

00:49 GyroTech flinches at the nip. "Well you wouldn't want me too would you?" He replies with a confident grin. Still, he manages to contain himself the rest of the way there. He seems quite a bit more comfortable around her even as she licks over his neck, trusting her not to do anyting to him without his permision. Gyro lets Lupine lead them in when they arrive at the door. ***

00:55 Lupine giggles as she then trots into the door, being greeted by half a dozen mares, all of them in white dresses. Even she couldn't help but admire their beautiful forms as they led both the bat mare and stallion over to a single, large massage table, expertly disrobing the both of them along the way. Lupine blushes a bit as she looks over at Gyro. "Um...I...think she wants us...both to have a great...time..."

00:58 GyroTech sighs as the clothes come off. "As nice as those look, they are a bit stuffy." He then blushes a little bit at her comment as well. "As cute as you are, I'm afraid I'm already taken." Still the stallion gives her a quick peck on the cheek for emphasis. Gyro then lays down on the massage table like he's done this a couple times, taking care to be right in the center, so that Lupine would be forced to snuggle close to him. ***

01:08 Lupine huffs as she sees how Gyro was acting, lying down next to him and trying to push him aside. "You know...I could just...make it so...that it's just me..." She then starts to smile and poke at his side, trying to make him move over. "But...then you'll miss...her special treatment..." The doors open again, revealing a rather tall mare with a white coat and a very soft, orange mane. She wore a white dress like the others, but she also wore a pair of orange-tinted glasses. Her stride was quick, yet fluid, walking over and standing over Gyro and Lupine. After a few moments, she finally speaks in a slight accent, with a business-like tone. "Ladies, leave us. I will take care of them, myself." The mares then bow their heads before making a quick exit, leaving the three in peace, and silece...

01:15 GyroTech reluctantly scoots over a little, though still taking up the majority of the table. He looks up at the new mare and smiles. "Hi Lotus, I'm Gyro Tech, and this is my friend, Lupine." He says, mustering up the best High Canterlot accent he could, trying to make a positive impression. ***

01:15 Lotus just looks down at Gyro with a frown on her face, as though examining him. Eventually, she shakes her head before turning to Lupine. Her voice was still hard, "So, this is the one you were talking about." She then lets her lips curl up into a smile as she leans over and gives the bat mare a kiss on each cheek, finally dropping her harsh voice. "Lupine...it has been too long!" She then takes off her glasses, revealing her soft, orange eyes, which oddly looked like LUpines' "How is my little niece? I got your letters, but I didn't know which day you'd come!"

01:15 Lupine giggles as she eskie kisses Lotus, feeling quite loved. "Well...I've been doing...great! Daddy has been...sending me...a few bottles...a week. As well as...letters from...the rest of the family~"

01:31 GyroTech frowns quite deeply recoiling a bit as she seems to shake her head disaprovingly. His frowning expression turns to one of suppires as she suddenly declares Lupine to be her niece. "Wait? You've been talking to your aunt about me?" He looks a little bit worried as he recalls a couple of his less than plesant first encounters he gave to Lupine. "...and bottle of what exactly? Good wine?" He asks with a slightly confused look on his face. ***

01:39 Lupine flashes Gyro a toothy grin, revealing her fangs. "No...daddy sends me...blood..." She then giggles and boops him on the nose. "Of course...good wine, silly! Don't you...see...the Wingate wines...in your manor? We're...quite famous...for that..."

01:39 Lotus smiles as she decides to sit down next to Lupine, doting over her niece. "I'm glad your father still knows how to treat family, evenwhen they have to leave." Her smile then fades as she looks over at Gyro. "I'm surprised that your mother didn't have you stay in your room for a couple of months. Calling my niece a beast? I don't care if she has fangs, she's still a pony!" Despite her slightly raised voice, she keeps her composure, not baring her fangs or making any indication that she was ready to attack.

01:45 GyroTech doesnt' look too supprised as lupine admits to them being blood, as that thought was in the back of his mind. He does however, let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding when he's booped and hears that its whine. "Ooh, that is a good brand, especially their Tawny Port." Gyro scoots further away as her gaze turns to him, finding himself pressing to the end of the table. He gulps a little as she admonishes him, shrinking back a bit. "Its more the turning ponies into slaves part that I kind of felt uncomfortable about." he admitted quite meekly. ***

01:53 Lotus then blinks as she looks back to Lupine, giving her a disapproving look this time around. "Dear? Did you...do something to this stallion?" She then leans forward and nearly touches the smaller mares' snout with her own, narrowing her eyes. "You know that it took a lot of work for you to get out safely, and your father would be worried sick if you were ever in danger again."

01:53 Lupine starts to sniff as she shies away from her aunt. "B-but...I...I was mad...and..." She hangs her head as she realizes that she had no good excuse for what she did. "I'm...I'm sorry...Auntie. Gyro...we...we're good friends...now. ANd...I don't...want to...hurt him...or anypony..."

02:02 GyroTech speaks up, "Don't worry, the only ponies who know her secret care about her. Shes fine, and sometimes provides for a bit of entertainment." Gyro smiles a little thinking of some of the shenanagins the shrinking has allowed them to pull off. "Plus, wings are kind of cool to have, though I hated losing my magic." ***

02:07 Lotus was ready to facehoof before starting to force a smile, again. "Fair enough...Gyro." She then turns to look back at him, her hard expression going away. "Then there WAS a reason that Lupine brought you here. I am glad that you have put aside differences and became friends. Now..." She takes off her dress and unfurls her wings a bit. "Now that we have all thatset aside, I"ll be sure to give you something to brag about." She then leans over and whispers into his ear. "Provided that you can keep my family identity a secret, of course~"

02:16 GyroTech smiles at her happily and shifts into a comfy position on the table, letting himself brush up against Lupine. "Of course I can, I'm the most tight lipped pony around, plus think of how jealous all the other ponies will be to know that I got a personal massage by lotus, all whilst laying next to a really cute elusive child of Luna." He shoots a bemused look at Lupine, watching to see her reaction. ***

02:24 Lupine sighs a bit as she looks over to Gyro with a tired look on her face. "Can we...you know..." She then looks over Gyro some more, an odd smile coming across her face as she gives him a kiss, right on the lips. "Okay...I'll take the...cute part..." She giggles and rest her head again, shutting her eyes and waiting for Lotus to do her thng.

02:24 Lotus then smiles as she pulls out a few bottles from a drawer, as well as a couple of those sleep covers for the eyes. "Put these on, please. It helps when you can't see anything, makes your body not anticipate anything."

02:29 GyroTech blushes bright purple with supprised eyes as she suddenly kisses him on the lips. He goes quiet, but has a happy grin on his face after the experience, not allowing himself to ruin the moment. He tries to relax and takes the mask in order to please Lotus. The mare smiles as she then starts to rub her hooves. Lupine quickly opens her eyes and takes off her cover, grinning ear to ear as she moves away silently from Gyro. All the stallion can feel was a pair of gentle hooves rubbing his back, already working their magic into his body as an odd, sweet smell was in the air. A faint tingling sensation was already starting to form throughout his body, numbing his senses a bit as his muscles go limp on him.

00:39 GyroTech sighs quite deeply as he feelst the deft hooves running over his back. He notices in the back of his mind as Lupine slips away, but doesn't think anything of it, already starting to be lost in the bliss of the massage. He sprawls out as his muscles relax from the gentle pressure, going limp on the table. His grin widens in enjoyment. ***

00:45 Lupine continues to massage the stallion. As the massage goes in its merry way, Gyro can soon feel his body to go completely weightless, as theough all sense of direction and motion was stripped from him. He can feel his hindlegs being slowly stretched out and massaged, the hooves working into his muscles. He then felt his front hooves dangle above his head as he felt a familiar sensation of a leathery, warm embrace enveloping his body.

00:51 GyroTech allows his body to be manipulated and rolled over by Lotus, his body begining to generate strange sensations under her attentions. He's in heaven as he's given the best massage he's ever felt. "Man, your attendants are nowhere near this good," he sighs in deleihgt, his words barely audible. He breifly wonders why he's being lifted so, but just goes with the flow, knowing that Lotus knows what she's doing. ***

01:01 Lupine applies a little more pressure to the stallion. Gyro can hear a faint giggle from behind as the leathery embrace seemed to shift about him. But no wrds were said as his body soon felt quite warm, as if he were right next to a cozy fire. Whatever Lotus was doing, she seems to be going all out for him. Hooves seemed to be working all throughout his body as he then felt...a few pops? He can't seem to feel anything snap into place, but that was the unmistakable sound of somepony having their back set properly. All he feels is a sudden sense of relief as he hears each pop, with no pain whatsoever.

01:07 GyroTech begins to woder what Lupine is up too given that he seems to be getting all the attention, and that giggle behind him...He begins to wonder of there's not something more to this. He feels even more relief as his back is realigned, causing him to sink even deeper against the pony. ***

01:20 GyroTech is still in qute the relaxed state as the massage ends, though the fact that he was dagling in the air seemed to leave him feeling a little disconcerted. "Wait, you were the one giving me the massage the whole time?" he askes, quite supprised. He magics his mask off to look at her. ***

01:24 Lupine giggles as she shakes her head. "No, silly...I was just...helping Lotus with...moving you..." She then shifts her wings about Gyro as she gives him a kiss on the cheek. "And...I'm keep you...in place...when she was giving you...a realignment..."

01:24 Lotus smiles as she sees the two gangling from what seems to be a couple of cushined hooks from the cieling. "But Lupine was right, you were very tense. Even more so than some of the other customers I've seen come into my spa."

01:28 GyroTech blushes again at the kiss, and then he looks down, noticing that they happened to be hanging from the ceiling. He reaches his hooves around Lupin and clings tight to her, a little nervous about being so high up. "It has to be being her, in Canterlot, prancing around like a prissy noble. I hate all these formalities, and that what I do is looked down upon so I have to hide it." ***

01:38 Lupine sighs as she flits her wings about Gyro, dropping down suddenly from the cieling and landing right on top of the soft table below them. "Gyro...it hurts to see you...like this..." The mare gives him a gentle nuzzle, shaking her head. "Why can't...you just act like...a proper...noble?"

01:38 Lotus comes over and sits next to Gyro, cupping his cheek with a hoof in a motherly fashion. "I know that there are many expectaions from a Canterlot noble. They are a society of their own, isolated mostly from the rest of the world." The mare shakes her head. "Nobility isn't meant to be a simple title, but something bestoed upon you for proving your worth to the ponies around you. These...'nobles'...have taken their status for granted."

01:46 GyroTech yelps as they plumet towards the ground, despite his trust in Lupine. He pouts a bit at teh topic they're discussing, despite the affection given to him by both of the ponies. "They may be, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm expected to live in they're world and act a certain way towards the common ponyfolk, and give up on my dream career..." His frown deepens and he stares at the ground. ***

01:51 Lupine tilts her head a bit as she holds him tight, putting his head into her chest. "Career? What...sort of...career?" She then gives his mane a kiss as her wings wrap about him again, the small mare trying to comfort Gyro.

01:52 Lotus simply moves back a bit and let the two have their moment, using that time to ponder on something...

01:56 GyroTech frowns at Lupine, "Oh cmon, You know my profession, inventing, desgining fancy machines, and yet, working with my hooves. Its just not kosher to nobility. I'm supposed to join the royal court or become a military leader or even a representitive of a township is acceptable. Hell my family, generation after generation has sat on the royal court as different advisors, but thats not what I want to do..." He begins to tear up a little and leans into Lupines embrace, pressing his head against her chest. ***

02:06 Lupine starts to sniffle as she sees how this is affecting Gyro, holding him close and giving him a few kisses on the ears. "But...that isn't what...you really want...to do...isn't it?" She shakes her head and begins to lick his ears. "Gyro...you should...try and...follow your heart..." She starts to smile again.

02:08 Lotus smiles with Lupine as she finally speaks up. "It isn't wise to blindly follow something just because others expect you to. Besides, I am sure that you find your work satisfying. Otherwise, you wouldn't be doing it. So, stop worryign what your family thinks, and try to enjoy your own life. After all, you are the only one controlling your happiness, no matter what others may try to do to you."

02:18 < Lupine> (What?)

02:18 < GyroTech> (Accidental enter)

02:18 < Lupine> (Oh)

02:19 GyroTech continues to cry a little bit, unable to stop himself. "I know and I have, this is why I ran away to Seaddle in the first place. My family...they've even come to accept it for the most part, but anytime I'm here, I have to play the part to not shame them, they're stallion who has had to sacrifice living in Canterlot to be the represtentive of Seaddle. I'm not sure how many ponies actually know this to be a lie, the real representitive is not all that social, and keeps to himself alot." He goes silent for a couple seconds, "Still, all this pretending, it gets to me..."

02:26 Lupine gasps softly as she hears this revalation, not sure how to react to this. The mare gives a pleading look to Lotus, who nods and quickly drapes a silvery-white wing over Gyro. "Now, listen here. I know that you don't want to shame your family, and you want to make them proud. But lving a lie is not the answer." She ponders for another moment before perking up her ears. "Tell me, what do you think of the children of Luna? I know that most ponies are...aprehensive of our race, especially within our nation to the north."

20:25 GyroTech sighs. "What would you have me do, go against my parents request that I pretend to be on whilst Im here? I know another ex noble whos family was forced to disown him after his rejection of such a life in order to retail they're honor...No...I must continue to pretend." He frowns at the question, pondering what its relevance was. "Well, I think you're misteriousness is interesting and yall are more refined and definatly puts you above the dirt ponies and the feather brains, and especially above the stripeys, in general and this one right here," He gives Lupine a quick nuzzle, "is especially quite cute in particular, though they're still not as noble as the uni-" he stops himself. ***

21:45 Lupine and the other maresjust stare at Gyro as they both seem to be horrified at his little speech. Lotus was the first to break the silence as she raises her voice at Gyro. "You...you racist, ignorant..." She stops herself as she bites down on her own fetlock, as though trying to restrain herself. Lupine seemed to be more shocked than angry, whimpering as she pulls herself away from the stallion. "But...I thought..."

21:46 < Lupine> ( it just showed)

21:55 GyroTech slinks back a little under the gaze of the two mares, their cold gaze making him quite uncomfortable. "There are exceptions to that rule..." he offers in a hope to avoid conflict. His ears lie quite flat against his face. ***

22:03 Lupine decided it was her turn to speak, and she was quite irate as she quivers in rage. "Just... listen to yourself! You sound like one of those damned... nobles! You...you have no sense of nobility whatsoever!" Her eyes flash red as her hoof flies across his face, giving the poor unicorn a hard smack.

22:13 GyroTech flinches under the blow and sputters a bit. His small amount of shame begins to flare into a rage. "I have no sense of Nobility? Have I not treated you like a lady during your time here? Do I not treat most ponies with the respect they deserve? Even the lesser ponies I give time of day." He argues quite forcefully. Hes standing tall now, no longer slinking down. ***

22:13 Lupine seems to be seething with rage as she tries to contain herself. "Anypony can treat others decently, but that doesn't make you a noble! You act as though you are better than others, but what have you actually done?? You're NOT a noble! You're just a foal who acts like one!"

22:13 Lotus holds out a wing in front of Lupine, shaking her head in disapproval at the smaller mare. "Calm yourself, Lupine. He just doesn't know what it means to be a noble." She sighs before looking back at Gyro with a pitying gaze. "Tell me, what do YOU think it means to be a noblepony?"

23:06 GyroTech continues to rage. "I never said I was a noble, even though I guess I am by birth, I said I act noble." He smirks a litttle as Lotus blocks off Lupine. "To be a noblepony is not the same thing as being noble. A noblepony is somepony who's ancestors earned the favor of Celestia or Luna at one point or another, and now are a bunch of stuck of ponies who look down on everyone else and are generally useless to society." He says with more than a hint of disgust. "To be noble though means to be honorable, to treat other ponies with respect and do self sacrificing things, like helping a bunch of undead ponies finally find the afterlife." He seems to indicate that the last act was done by himself with a gesture. ***

23:13 Lotus turns to Lupine and whispers something into her ear. The smaller mare then nods as she reluctantly leaves the room, staring daggers at Gyro before locking the door behind her. The white bat mare then breathes out a sigh of relief before looking back to Gyro. "Then you think that you are one of the latter, a pony with a noble heart?" She lets out a tiny laugh as she sits back down on the massage table. "I'm curious to hear as to what noble things you have done for Equestria. Have you helped others in need by providing them a second chance at life, of shown mercy to those who do not deserve it? Or perhaps your inventions have made the lives of ponykind earier in some shape or fashion?"

23:20 GyroTech looks upon her proudly "Of course my inventions have helped pony kind. My inventions are not just simple trinkets, they're inventions to help ponies improve production. I've made our mines safer, and sea travel safer among other things. But beyond that, I've managed to put the restless dead in an ancient civillisation to rest by defeating a long undead king who was keeping his ponies from making it into the after life." He proclaims proudly. ***

23:26 Lotus nods as she listens to his story intently, obviously impressed by his deeds. "Very good to hear, Gyro. But how does that give you the right to consider yourself better than anypony around you?" She then smiles warmly as she wraps a wing about him in a motherly fashion. "You see, ponies with noble hearts don't just do heroic acts. They also ensure that they treat others as equals. It is a mindset, my dear Gyro, one that takes a lifetime to work on." She then looks out to the door and sighs a bit. "You have a good heart, I'll give you that. But your family seems to have taught you the wrong lessons in treating others with not just courtesy, but with heartfelt respect and dignity."

23:36 GyroTech seems to lighten up as she praises him, but is then confused at her words, one ear lays down and the other up. "But isnt that what treating other ponies with courtesy is? Giving them respect when they deserve it?" He looks out the door to see what she was looking at. ***

23:41 Lotus replies, "No...you're supposed to treat all ponies with the same amount of respect, even when they don't always seem to deserve it." She smiles as she gives him a gentle pat on the head. "Which brings me to another question; what warrants respect from another pony? Is it their race, their birth, their actions?"

23:50 GyroTech seems a little bit flustered at the question, like he had never thought about it before. "I...ummm...I guess...hmm...Well position seems to commmand a certain amount of respect...and I guess a persons motives command some respect, but I dont' know about actions...and race...I dont know..." ***

23:56 Lotus nods as though she were trying to understand him. "I see. Then what do you think of the other races, apart from the unicorns? You seem to be quite certain that your own race is better by default, or is that your family speaking through you?" She doesn't seem angry as she spoke, but simply trying to see what is on his mind.

00:03 GyroTech ponders her question, not sure how to answer. He just stands there in silence considering her questions. "I...don't know...I mean, most of the other ponies I've met have been decent...even the nonunicorn ones..." He goes silent, still not quite ready to finish that thought. He seems to be getting a little stressed as his ideas are being challenged. ***

00:07 Lotus sighs as she straightens out her mane with a free hoof. "Gyro...I am going to be frank with you. That is the sort of behavior that caused much strife before the founding of Equestria. Each race thought that their own race was the best, and that others were either stupid or arrogant. And the only reason why any of them survived was because they had set aside their differences and considered each other equal. Now do you understand?"

00:13 GyroTech looks at her still a little unconvinced. "I...I guess I understand..." he says, but his voice wavers a bit and his manerisms show that he doesn't quite believe her. "I mean everypony knows that that is just a foals tale though..." he argues though not too sure of his own position. ***

00:20 Lotus snickers as she gets up from the massage table, her leathery wings folding up before heading to another part of the room. "That is up for debate, but we'll leave that for another time." She picks up a book from one of the shelves in the back, her own personal collection. "Tell me, why do you think the princesses are what they are? Do you think they are simply unicorns with wings?" She giggles oddly as the book was now in front of Gyro, showing him a diagram of both Celestia and Luna. "What if I were to tell you that, they were not always like this, and they both are a combination of all three races?"

00:23 GyroTech gives her a disbeleiving look. "But everyone knows they were unicorns who were granted wings through consuming a magical artifact in order to weild the elements of harmony and defeat discord," he protests. "Thats what they teach in school. Every foal knows that." He seems to regard the book as one might a book on supernatrual occurances. ***

00:32 Lotus lets out a laugh as she shakes her head. "Oh, so that is what the teachers are teaching foals, these days? Oh, Luna, have mercy on them!" She then points to a part of the book. "Unfortunately, those books are written and approved by the nobles, and therefore cannot be trusted to do anything but glorify themselves. You see, the princesses were actually earth mares, and they were granted the traits of the other races by the Goddess herself. You see, they weren't exceptionally gifted, but they had pure hearts, and were willing to serve others before themselves." She then holds the book for Gyro to flip through. "They do not favor any race because they ARE all three races."

00:40 GyroTech does not seem to be convinced and continues to regard the book skeptically, afterall he had been taught all his life his version of the story. "And how can I know this is the truth instead of what I'd been taught growing up. I'd think the royal historians at our accademy would be well versed in the ancient historys of equestria..." ***

00:48 Lupine grins oddly as she points to the back of the book. "Because historians are known to bend the truth to fit their needs, even the royal ones. After all, many of the 'nobles' would balk at the idea of the princesses being anything ther than unicorns." She then reveals the back of the book, showing what seems to be the Lunar seal. "Each race has a certain quality that is unique to them, and it tends to make a lot of ponies arrogant in some fashion." She points a hoof to herself. "Our kind, on the other hoof, is also a conglomeration of the three, in a sense. The first children were not born, but made by Luna. And while families, such as my own, have been around for centuries, we still have the blood of all three races in our veins. And there are still those who are blessed by Luna on a regular basis."

00:54 < GyroTech> (Last post from me)

00:55 < Lupine> (Aww...tired?)

00:55 < GyroTech> (Ya, I am :( )

00:59 GyroTech inspects the book, and sure enough it is the lunar seal. Though he then begins to wonder about the authenticity of such a thing, could it of been a forgery? After all it would be strange for a book like this to be outside of the archives. While these thoughts play accross his face he doesn't say anything. "I guess I'll have to think this over..." is all he says, still not admitting her to be right, but also not seeming adamant in his own beliefs. ***

01:44 Lotus seems to pick up Gyros' conflicted feeling, moving in to give him a motherly cuddle and wrapping both her wings about him. "I know that it is a lot to take in, Gyro. But we have no good reason to lie about how the princesses came about. It is our duty to serve Equestria by protecting the night and keeping the lands to the north at peace. What will be gained for our kind if we slanted the truth? If we did, then we would have tried to claim that they were..." She giggles a bit. "Dracoponies."

01:46 GyroTech leans into the hug, but still looks unconvinced. "I just can't throw away years of learning like this, I'll have to consider everything" he says with a sigh. His mind was swimming with everything they had discussed and he was feeling a little bit overwhelmed with having so many of his beleifs challenged. ***

01:46 < Lupine> (Well, doyou want to continue?)

01:47 < GyroTech> (Sadly I'm quite tired even if we did, I'd likely fall asleep at my desk before my next post)

01:47 < Lupine> (Fair enough. Go to bed, then)

01:48 < GyroTech> (Feel free to write up your post if you want though, and I'll read it in the monring.)

01:49 < Lupine> (Alright)

12:42 Lotus smiles as she seems to already have an idea forming in her head. "Then maybe you would like to learn a bit more about this. And, I may also help with your problem involving your family." Her smile then turns into a bit of a smirk, the mare showing a fang. "I am willing to petition for you to become an emissary for the Lunar Republic. Should my brother approve of this, you will be expected to stay a few months in the lands where our kind lives. This is to show you the many aspects of our people, as well as to establish relationships with other dignitaries." Her smirk then changes to a grin as she gives him a gentle squeeze. "It will be hard work, but at least you wont have to lie to your parents about what you do."

13:01 GyroTech considers her proposition. "THEY know what I do, its the ponies who they assosicate with who don't. Still, such a thing would make them happy...but, I thought you said to follow my heart? Am I to give up my workshop to move to the Lunar Republic? And what about Naisol? I can't just leave her." He voices his concerns though doesnt outright reject the offer, and after a second continues, "Speaking of Naisol...I still don't know how I'm going to introduce her to my parents..." ***

13:02 < GyroTech> (I'm curious as to whether Lupine told her he had a marefriend or if hes about to be reprimanded for being so flirty with other mares like Lupine.)

13:11 Lotus grins as she waves her wing in dismissal. "The first few months are more of an orientation. Of course, we can have you come back to...what was it that you said, Seaddle? In any case, you can visit your good marefriend every few weeks, provided that you takes to your duties properly. After the initial stay, you'll only be asked to return every three months or so, in order to have a face- to-face with the other dignitaries. Also, we expect correspondace every week, but that shouldn't be too difficult for you." Lotus then moves to boop Gyro on the nose. "Also, you should consider yourself lucky that Lupine is an understanding mare. Should you try to flirt with some of the other mares in our household, they might not have taken it so well." She giggles a bit. "Of course, that would entail either a slap in the face or a nip on the hoof."

13:22 GyroTech flicks an ear in annoyance and adjusts his mane with a hoof. "But they love being told how gorgeous they are by a cute stallion such as myself..." he protests before addressing the more important matter at hand. "I have to think about it, and maybe discuss it with Naisol and my parents, but I think I would likely accept such a position. I suppose it would be best to have they're support so that I don't get disowned for pursuing such a..." he pauses for a second trying to think of a good word, "wild mare." His eyes glaze over a bit as he finishes that last part, smiling in joy as he thinks about Naisol. ***

13:28 Lotus grins as she sees how happy the unicorn is about this mare, but she also remembers what Lupine has written about Gyro. "You're cute, but not that cute." She starts to have a little fun with him, the older mare nibbling on his ear. "You are quite fortunate to have such a caring mare for you, and you seem to have made my niece quite happy, too. But please..." She nicks his ear, drawing just a bit of blood. "Don't try and lead her on any more than what is considered playful. The last thing she needs is to have her heart broken by a flirty colt. And the last thing you need is to become one of her thralls."

13:40 GyroTech beams proudly at her compliement, his mind seeming to edit out the "Not that cute" part from what he heard. "I know I am," he admits, giggling as she nibbles on his ear, tickling him. He strokes the underside of her wing with a hoof as she continues nibbling and talking to him. Suddenly he flinches in both supprise and a little as she bites down hard, not quite expecting that to happen, shocking him back into reality. "I...She knows Im a taken Stallion..." he assures her weakly. ***

13:47 Lotus laughs again as she gives Gyro a few licks on the ear, as though tasting him. "mmmm...it has been some time since I've seen a stallion this calm." She then turns to look at Gyro dead in the eyes, her gaze seeming to make him relax a bit. "She knows that you are already taken, but you're also sending mixed messages. You have to let her know that you only wish to be friends, and nothing more. Unless..." She frowns a bit. "You intend to be unfaithful to your Naisol."

14:04 GyroTech fidgets a little bit more this time, still not pulling away, but not enjoying it quite as much since he was a little leary about being bitten again. "I would never be unfaithful towards Naisol." he argues, raising his voice a litte in anger that she woudl even suggest such a thing. He then folds his ears flat as he considers Lupine, "She does know...doesnt she?" He begins to feel just a little bit of guilt about how hes been acting and it plays out on his face. ***

14:20 Lotus then lets out an odd laugh as she goes back to licking his ear. "She knows, and you know. But it still isn't fair to play her like this. At the very least, let her know bluntly that youonly wish to be friends with her, nothing more." A sigh escapes her lips. "It's a pity, really. You would have been a decent pony for Lupine. But such is life." At that, she finally lets go of his ear, whcih had stopped bleeding entirely. "Now, would you like anything else for me to do, before you leave?"

14:30 GyroTech sighs sadly. "Such is life I guess, all the mares love Gyro, but there's only one Gyro to go around. I have made so many hearts ache." Despite his sigh, he seems to be slightly proud of his claim. "Still, I guess you're right. I do owe her the courtesy of making our relationship clear." He pauses to think for a moment, lifting a hoof to his face. "I cant think of anything..." ***

14:33 Lotus then grins toothily as she nuzzles his neck. "Then do you mind if I get a proper feeding from you? I'm sure you get this a lot from Lupine, but some rumours of the children of Luna are not unfounded." She then wraps her wings about him properly as though holding him in place, though not so much that he cannot break free. "Of course, the choice is yours. And...I think you'll quite like it, too, not being shrunken down into a snack."

14:40 GyroTech actually looks a little disapointed as she mentions not being shrunken, but the prospect of being fed on by Lotus doesn't seem to trouble him in the slightest. He leans into her comfortingly. "I hand't realized it was all batponies who needed such a thing, I thought she was just speacial," he admits looking at her curiously. Still, he bares his neck out for her so that she can drink. "Well, bon apetite I guess." ***

14:44 < Lupine> (Hold on, need to move)

15:30 < GyroTech> (Boop?)

15:57 < Lupine> (Back, had to pick up my bike from the shop.)

15:58 < GyroTech> (Ahh cool)

16:03 Lotus seems to be more focused on his neck, giving it a few nuzzles as though feeling it out. Once satisfied, she finally speaks. "I do no need it, nor does my niece. The thing is, she's more...driven, to feed. This is something that I just so happen to miss, as I haven't had anypony willing to let me do this ever since I've left home." She then feels out his neck one more time before licking her fangs, her leathery grip tightening just a bit before he felt...nothing? She did have her mouth latched to his neck, but all he can feel are the lips touching his coat.

16:21 < GyroTech> (Sorry I'm getting a report done between each post, so it will be a little slower now, but I just finished one so I'll go)

16:21 < Lupine> (Alright)

16:25 GyroTech tenses for the prick that he's used to from Lupine, and yet, it never seems to come. The pressure is there, so she's obviously latched on, but he never even felt the bite. He looks out of the corner of his eye to try and see if she had yet to pierce, but he couldn't see. Her lips on his neck, gave him chills a little, as it always did. ***

16:58 Lotus begins to suck. That chill would soon be replaced by an odd warmth, as though he were being intoxicated by the bite. She doesn't make any noise as Lotus was busy with drinking up his blood. Unlike the smaller mare, she managed to completely engulf him in her wings, which were now stretched about his body. After what seems to be an eternity, she finally makes a sound, a tiny murr as he starts to feel just a bit light-headed.

17:14 GyroTech gets lost in a Trance as she continues to feed, the wings around him help to isolate out the rest of the world as Lotus works her magic. He sits as still as he's ever been, just letting her drink down his lifegiveing fluid. He looses track of time as she continues as he slowly becomes light headed. He hardly registeres her mews as he sits there. ***

17:21 Lotus finally lets go of his neck, licking her fangs agian as she loosens her grip on Gyro. "Ahh...you've been quite the good sport, my little colt." She smiles warmly as her hooves give him a gentle rub down, one final massage before they have to leave. "I think you'd be more than welcome in our home, Gyro. I'm not sure if Lupine has told you, but we have some of the finest wines made in our vinyard."

17:30 GyroTech sits there dumbly for a bit as she massages him before he finally snaps back to reality in the middle of it. He tenses up breifly indicating that he's come to beofre allowing himself to relax as she continues the massage him. "I hope that I was enjoyable," he says quietly. He's still feeling quite light headed from all the blood that left him. When she's done he slowly stands to his feet, wavering a bit. "Yes...So Lupine mentioned to me. I think I could use something to drink..." His voice is a little weak. ***

17:34 Lotus then nudges him gently to the door, as though she already had plans for him. "You just made my day, Gyro, and I think a little drink wouldn't be amiss. Lupine is already waiting for you in the bath; I pray to Luna that you two sort things out." She smiles as the doors open, the mare now already having her glasses and dress on. Her business-like demeanor returns, and she speaks to him curtly. "Good day, Gyro."

17:40 GyroTech walks out the door, swaying a bit. "Good day to you too." He looks around to figure out which hallway to take, not actually knowing which one was the correct direction towards the baths before just picking one, and starting down in that direction. He moves slowly and his gait is eneven, but he manages not to stumble as we walks. ***

17:43 The_attendant giggles softly as she gently taps him on the shoulder. "Oh, you don't want to go down that one; there's nopony but a few guard captains there." With a gentle nudge, she takes Gyro to the right bath, where Lupine was already taking a soak in the pool, sipping at a glass of wine.

17:44 Lupine notices him. "Oh...you're..." She looks him over with a disapproving stare, turning away from him as she takes another sip.

17:49 GyroTech obediently follows the attendant, putting a little bit of weight on her so that he didn't sway so much. Upon reaching the baths, his eyes light up as he spots Lupine and he heads over to her. "I'm what?" He asks curiously, before leaning down to step into the water. Unfortunatly, he missteps in his haze and trips into the bath, splashing Lupine. He surfaces with a sheepish look and lays down next to Lupine. ***

18:27 Lupine sputters asd lets out a tiny squeak, trying to get the water out of her mouth. The poor mare tries to save her glass of wine, but it was already diluted by the hot water. With a baleful look, she turns back to Gyro, holding up her glass and dumping it on his head. "You're...such a pig!"

18:59 GyroTech folds his ears flat and looks downtrodden. He scoots away from her reluctatnly, the red wine still dripping down his mane. "I'm sorry, its just...you know how clumbsy I am after a feeding. I didn't mean to splash..." he mumbles out sadly. He continues to mope, the hot watter providing him little comfort from the chill settling over him. ***

18:59 Lupine blinkyblinks as she hears the word 'feeding,' her anger giving way to confusion. "Um...feeding?" Her eyes widen a bit as she quickly realizes what it all meant. "O-oh! You mean...Lotus?" The little bat mare then scoots closer to Gyro and traces a hoof over his neck, revealing the tiny pinpricks on his neck. Nopony wouldve noticed if they didn't know exactly where to look. Her lips curl up into a little smile as Lupine places a hoof on his shoulder. "How are you...feeling?"

00:26 GyroTech leans into her, glad that she's not rejecting him anymore. "Oh, you know, a little woosy and light headed. Its still hard for me to walk straight. Like always." Lupine would know from past experiences that such a thing tends to incapacitate the blue stallion for a couple of hours as he recovers. He lays his head on her as she comforts him. ***

00:29 Lupine giggles softly as she licks the wine from his mane, not seeming to care about anypony that might be about. "So...what did you...two...about? Also...how did it...feel?" She seems to have either forgotten or no longer caring about their fight not half an hour ago, more focused on making sure that her friend was cared for.

00:35 GyroTech tries to put on a serious face but has a hard time of it, not being able to concentrate. "Oh you know, she attacked me, and then pinned me down, and then sucked my blood..." He realizes he's having trouble keeping a straight face, so his expression changes to a happier one as he continues, "Nah, we discussed some things, she offered me a position as a NLR emmisarry so that I could become more cultured and please my parents, we made out, and then she asked to feed and I let her." He giggles a little as she cleaned him off as if he were a foal. ***

00:42 Lupine starts to frown as she saw immediately that he was joking at first. As the mare was licking him clean, she stops dead when he mentioned the job offer, her face revealing a grin from ear to ear. "You...you were offered...a job?" She lets out a happy 'eee~' as she hugs him tight. "This is...wonderful! You get to...see my folks...and...learn lots of...new things...and..." Her demeanor becomes more giddy as she fondly licks his ear. "You're...very lucky...Gyro..."

00:47 GyroTech has a mixed expression of excitement and sadness on his face. "Ya...It'll be cool but it also means leaving Seaddle and Naisol for a period of time. Still...I'm sure it will improve my relationships w/ my parents which will make introducing her to them easier." His words are awash with his mixed emotions and it was obvious he hadn't quite decided one way or another. Still, he hugs her back and leans into her. He then breaks away. "Also...there's something we need to discuss..." He looks quite sad as he says this, like its something he doesn't quite want to say. ***

00:51 Lupine tilts her head as she sees how Gyro is acting, not sure what to expect. "Um...is something wrong? I...I didn't hurt you...did I?" Her ears twitch about as she starts to get a bit worried. "Are you...worried that you'll...miss Naisol? I'm...sure she can...come along..." She doesn't quite know what else to say, but she hates it when Gyro is sad like this.

00:57 GyroTech frowns as his expression changes to a truly serious expression. "Your Aunt made it quite clear that I need to make sure you know..." He gulps a little afraid what he's going to say will hurt her. "That as long as I'm with Naisol...we can only be friends. I just don't want to hurt you if you were getting the wrong idea..." Gyro frowns even deeper pulling back a little further, worried that he was breaking her heart. ***

01:01 Lupine gives Gyro a quizzical expression as he makes this 'revalation', not quite sure how to go about this. "Um...I thought...that we WERE friends. I mean...I know that...you're with Naisol...and I want...nothing more...than to see you...two happy." A wing wraps about Gyro as Lupine pulls him close, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you...for being upfront...about this. I was...worried that...you were...being a bit...too flirty..."

01:05 GyroTech lets out a sigh of relief as she doesn't take it badly at all. "Yes we are friends and have been, its just...your aunt seemed to indicate that you had been wanting me to be more than that and that I wasn't helping..." He gives her a quick peck on the nose. "Too flirty? This is how I always am around cute mares." He runs a hoof gently along the underside of her wing. ***

01:10 Lupine shifts her wing a bit as the mare giggles some more. "See? You're...so flirty! But...I like it. It's...what makes...you...well, you." She then squeezes him gently before sinking back into the water, trying to relax a bit. "But...Lotus is...always worried about...me. You know...with the...gift...and such." She then yawns widely, letting Gyro see her fangs and gaping mouth. "I've...missed this...place..."

01:17 GyroTech settles back down into the water, cluddling against her. He flags down one of the attendenta and has them bring out some more wine. Looking at her fangs he comments, "You know, its not quite the same when you arn't shrunked down to a plaything." Gyro's face turns a deep purple at the admission before he begins to sip on his glass of wine. ***

01:21 Lupine blinks agains as she takes a sip from her fresh glass of wine, giving Gyro an odd look. "Um...what exactly...do you mean?" Surprisingly, she doesn't seem to try and push it any further than that, quickly trying to change the subject while shaking her head to herself. "I...I want to make...a good impression...on your family. If...you DO accept...the emissary...job, then...I want...you to be...in their good graces...while you're...working..."

01:29 GyroTech ignores her question, just blushing even more purple at it. He readily accepts the change of subject, relaxing a little bit more at the new subject. "Oh, I'm sure they'll be delighted. Such a title will mean that I wont' be risking they're honor doing what I love, after a little bit of training." He thinks about it for a second, "Still, I'm sure they would love to meet you as proof that I do have a real job..." ***

01:35 Lupine seems to take this in stride as she sinks lower into the water, taking a moment to think it through. "Well...I can meet them...when your mother...has that birthday...celebration. But...I can't stay...here indefinitely...and...your parents...might get a bit...nosy." Her ears twitch about idly as only her head sticks out of the warm waters. "Hmm...maybe we can...have them...write me?"

01:20 GyroTech grins back at her. "I suppose that would be for the best. I can imagine they would be quite snoopy if they found out I was hanging around with such a cute mare, and who knows what they might dig up." He nuzzles her a little as he relaxes in the pool. ***

01:23 Lupine giggles as she is nuzzled, responding with a pounce out of the water. He fangs were latched onto his snout, but oddly enough, he doesn't shrink down as she laps the blood trickling from his muzzle. It's like...she finally had control of herself. "Mmmm...thank you..." She smiles warmly as the cute little pony licks his snout tenderly. "I...I knwo we're friends...but...I like...how you treat me..."

01:31 GyroTech falls back into the water in suprise, the sudden assault of the batmare. He winces a bit as her fangs pierce his snout. He wraps her up in a hug and strokes her back. Gyro gives her a quizzical look though. "How do you mean?" ***

01:34 Lupine purrs as she wraps her wings about him. "Well...you are always...nice to me...and..." She blushes a bit. "I...I like...how you seem to...give me attention..." The mare fidgets about, seeming a bit sad. "I...I envy you...and...what you have...with her..." There wasn't any contempt in her voice, but...longing.

01:41 GyroTech frowns and pulls away a bit...starting to get worried. "I cant Lupine...you know that..." He fidgets about uncomfortably in the tub. ***

01:43 Lupine whimpers as she pulls away, herself. "I...I know that...but..." She starts to tear up. "W-why...can't...I have that?" She looks at Gyro, tear streaming down her cheeks. "T-tell me...why do I...have to...be without a...special smepony?" ***

01:46 GyroTech gives her another hug and pats her on the back with a hoof comfortingly. "You'll find him, or her, and you'll have beautiful foals together. Don't worry. There's somepony out there for you...even if it cant be me." He cries a little now as well, sad that he's hurt his friend like this. ***

01:50 Lupine whimpers as she hugs Gyro tight. "T-thank you...it means...a lot to me..." She sniffles as she kisses his blue cheeks. "I...I want you both...to be happy...Gyro..." Her lips quiver a her feelings seem to be torn. "J-just...know that...I...I care about you, too...even if...we can't be closer..." ***

01:55 GyroTech lightens up at her kiss, as always, he's quite suseptible to such actions, beaming a little after it, as smile making its way accross his face. "I care about you as well...as a friend," he says, quite tenderly. He rubs her back with a hoof. ***

02:00 Lupine smiles as she gives Gyro another lick on his slightly bloodied snout. "U-um...I..." She blushes again. "I want to...thank you...for being with me...in town, I mean..." The mare keeps on licking, her eyes turning red. "So...nice..." ***

02:04 GyroTech blushes a little as she continues to lick on his nose. He's a little warry of those fangs though. "I love your company, its so much better than all those stuffy nobles." His face becomes a little bit mit more serious then as he notices her eyes flash red. "Not too much more blood please...I'm still a little shy." he asks gently. ***

02:09 Lupine lets out a depressed sigh as she flick her tongue back into her mouth, seeming to deflate a little. Even though she had more control, it still didn't help her urges much. "I...I'm sorry...it's just...I haven't had...a proper..." She shuts her mouth as she grabs a glass of wine from the edge of the tub, gulping it down before shuddering. "I think...you should go, now...please..." Lupine whimpers a bit. "I...I'll still be here...in the White Lotus...when the celebration...begins..." ***

02:15 GyroTech tries to linger around for a bit. "Its ok, you know I'm normally more than happy too, its just, I need a day or two to recover. Are you sure you want me to go?" He gives her a peck on the nose. ***

02:17 Lupine whimper some more before turning back to Gyro, her eyes a blood red. "Y-yes...unless...you would let me..." She opens her mouth and slowly draws toward him, her fangs slightly bared as she lets out a gentle exhale. "P-please...just for...now..."

02:20 GyroTech frowns sadly. "You know I can't, remember what happened last time I allowed myself to be fed on too close together." The memory of waking up on an IV machine in the hopital surfaced to his mind. He shuddered a little, not wanting that to happen again. "Very well..." He stepped out of the pool and summoned one of the attendents who began toweling him off and rubbing sented oil into his coat. ***

02:27 Lupine starts to shiver despite the warm water about her, looking away from Gyro as she tries to regain full contol of herself. "Gyro...I know it's a lot...to ask...and..." She sighs as she looks at her distorted reflection in the water. "Why can't...I just be...a normal pony?"

02:30 GyroTech lets out a sigh as she regains control. "Because, normal ponies are boring, and I dont' make friends with boring ponies," he states, matter of factly, donning his outfit and preparing to head out the gates. He turns to her one last time. ***

02:33 Lupine cracks a smile as she looks back to Gyro, shaking her head as she looks at him with her blue eyes. "You're a...silly pony, Gyro...but...you're MY...silly friend..." SHe giggles as she gets up from the tub, quickly walking over and giving him a gentle peck on the cheek. "Please...take care of...yourself...until we...meet again..." ***

02:36 GyroTech turns his head in mock indignance. "I am not a silly pony. I am the most serious and mature noblestallion there is in this city. Good day to you ma'am." he says in mock seriousness, before marching out in the fashion of a noble, albeit in an exageratedly stiff and better than thou manner. He smirks a bit to himself as he leaves the facility to head home. ***

02:41 Lupine sighs as she watches Gyro leave, trying to be strong until he is well out of earshot. At that point, she collapses to the floor, sobbing as she bites down on her own fetlock. "B-but...why can't...you be...just Gyro?" The mare sucks on her own blood as she doesn't look up, not daring to try and get up. The attendants seem to take this as their cue to leave, not wanting to draw any attention to themselves.
