Checking Up on an Injured Mare

13 July 2014

16:43 GyroTech walks to the park to verify Saphling isn't sleeping out there.

16:45 AppleDash stalks GyroTech

16:56 GyroTech doesn't see Saphling and looks pretty relieved that she's not out there. He doesn't realize he's being stalked.

16:58 AppleDash continues stalking GyroTech, trotting along a fair distance behind him, far emough that Gyro wouldn't notice him, but still close enough that AppleDash could keep track of the unicorn and spy on him.

17:00 GyroTech heads to his favorite coffee shop, one AppleDash would note to be the same one Saphling went to. There he ordered a cappuccino and took a seat at a two pony table.

17:05 AppleDash follows along behind GyroTech to said coffee shop, indeed noting that he had previously been there with Saphling. As Gyro enters, AppleDash decides to do the same, trotting up and stepping inside. He soon finds the unicorn and takes an uninvited seat at the table with him.

17:08 GyroTech at first glares at the pony that takes a seat in front of him as he registed who it is. The glare, however soon melts to a solemn sigh. "Please tell me you took care of Saphling for me, I'd hate for her to have gotten hurt..."

17:10 AppleDash looks over at GyroTech and frowns. "What? Not even a hello first?" he sighs. "Oh well... Yes, I did take care of her and made sure she got where she wanted to go safely. She claimed she didn't need the help, but I prevented her from taking a potentially pretty nasty fall..."

17:20 GyroTech smiles a little bit at the revelation. "Oh, well thats good at least. As far as a hello...I didn't send you away immediatly did I? That should be enough, seeing as its an improvement over last time..." The unicorn turns to his coffee and begins to drink.

17:24 AppleDash nods a little at GyroTech. "Well, I guess it's an improvement, but still..." he says, sighing softly again. "Anyways, what are you doing here?" he asked, hoping that Gyro wouldn't raise the same question, considering the sole reason AppleDash was here.

17:30 GyroTech shrugs towards AppleDash, taking another swig. "Well...I was making sure that you didn't abandon saphling at the park...and then when I made srue she wasn't there I decided to come get coffee. What brings you here seeing as you don't currently have a drink?

17:37 AppleDash shrugs at GyroTech, then after a moment, sighs again. "Well... Honestly, I was just passing by and I saw you walk in here, and I decided to follow you." he said, not revealing the fact that he had been following Gyro for awhile before tha.

17:44 GyroTech bristles his fur a little bit, looking irritated at the stallion. "You followed me...again?" He askes in a distressed voice. "I don't theink we are friends quite yet...you need to quit this."

17:47 AppleDash frowns again and shakes his head quickly at GyroTech. "No, I only followed you in here after I noticed you entering... Just saw you and wanted to say hi and talk is all. Is there something wrong with that?" he asked

17:52 GyroTech crosses his hooves and turns away. "I'm sure saying 'hi' is just all you wanted..." He says in a disbelieving voice. "Every time I meet you you makie ti turn into something awful, and I don't want that...especially not today since In--a friend is mad at me...I just need some peace."

17:56 AppleDash frowns more as GyroTech continues to speak. "It really was all I wanted. Well, that and a little bit of talk. And come on, last time wasn't all that awful in the end... It could have been worse and it definitely didn't go how I meant it to. Anyways... what's this about a friend being mad at you?"

18:04 GyroTech sitll doesn't look entirely convinced, "Oh? Talk about waht? Anyways, last time was a disaster...Saphling is upset with me and I...I...I did it with...with you..." The stallion can hardly bring himself to admit it. He igrones the part about his friend.

18:08 AppleDash shrugs at GyroTech. "I dunno yet, I was hoping you'd have something interesting to talk about... And come on Gyro, yeah you did it with me, more than once. But you seemed to enjoy it, so was it really all that horrible?" he asked, lowering his voice for those last bits since they were currently talking in a public place. "It seems like you didn't hear me... What's going on with you and your friend?"

18:21 GyroTech nods at the stallion's question. "I don't care...it doesn't count if you force me into a state where I'm supposed to enjoy it...so no, it was terrible." He shakes his head at AppleDash next question "I don't want to discuss what happened...I dont' feel great about it."

18:23 AppleDash sighs at GyroTech. "Actually... I'd like to remind you that you put yourself into that state by being greedy. I'm pretty sure you enjoyed it more than you'd like to admit." he said, smiling a little bit at Gyro now. "And... Alright, if you don't want to discuss that, I understand..."

18:28 GyroTech folds his ears flat against his head and stares at his coffee, finishing it off before answering. "Still! That doesnt' count and you know it..." He says, looking a little distressed. "I kinda wish Saphling would show up here...I want to make sure that she's alright."

18:31 AppleDash shrugs again at GyroTech as he continues to look over at the other stallion. "I dunno... You caused it and you looked like you sure enjoyed the result, so I think it's kinda fair to say that you did enjoy it... As for Saphling, what, isn't my word that she was safe good enough for you?"

18:33 Saphling pokes her head through the door, staring blankly into space as she autopilots her way to the counter.

18:35 GyroTech shakes his head, "No its not that...its jus tthat I"m slightly worried about her in her condition. She seemed really upset yesterday and I hope she doesn't do anything rash...You don't happen to know where she ended up staying do you? The least I could do would be to at least put her up in a hotel while she recovers..."

18:40 AppleDash nods at GyroTech. "Well, I guess I can understand that. And actually, the place that she led me to while I was helping her is the place we're at right now..." he said, not noticing that the mare had just entered.

18:47 Saphling waves to the tender. "Get me something strong. Today's been a long day."

18:49 GyroTech takes no notice as Saphling enters the room as well, frowning as appledash reveasl that Saphling came here. "Wait...you mean to say that she didn't go to some place of safety for sleeping, but rather came here?" He's obviously a little upset. "I said to make sure she got to her current home safely!"

18:53 AppleDash shakes his head at GyroTech. "I don't know what she wanted here, but I just took her where she wanted to go. Who am I to judge where she should or shouldn't be going? And I'm pretty sure that you just told me to make sure she stayed safe, which I did. How am I supposed to know where her current home is?"

18:55 GyroTech sighs and shakes his head, getting up from the table. "Well fine...I guess...but with that hoof of hers and all...Anyways, I need something more to drink." The stallion gets up and starts to step towards the bar, brightening up as he notices the pony next to him. "Oh~! Saphling, have you found a place to stay? I'll put you up in a nice hotel while you recover if you havn't."

19:00 Saphling pays the tender and takes her coffee. She's just about to drink it when GyroTech interrupts her. She sighs and sets it on the counter. "I don't need a hotel. Yes, I have a place to stay. And before you ask, no, I'm not going to tell you where that is. All you have to know is that it's not in my nice, comfortable tree where the breeze can roll calmly over my fur at night as I gaze at the stars." She picks her drink back up and takes a few sips, shaking her head as the coffee hits her tongue. "Tender doesn't play with orders. This is strong stuff."

19:04 AppleDash gets up from the table with GyroTech, following the unicorn over to where Saphling was and coming up to stand next to him. He smiles at the mare, but otherwise stays silent, just watching the other two ponies for now.

19:12 GyroTech gives a sad nod towards the mare's words, frowning. "Look, thats fine, I just wanted to make sure you had a place to stay since I don't want you staying outside. I cant leave you homeless." Gyro gives the mare a comforting nuzzle. "Look, I'm really sorry about what happened before. I tried to respect your wishes I really did...but you asked and I couldn't say no, though I know your state was probably my fault..." Gyro leans forward to give her a hug, hoping she'd forgive him just a little.

19:21 Saphling allows Gyro to hold her and rests her head in his hooves. "I'm fine, really. Like I said, I've got a place to stay. And as for yesterday and the night before... there's nothing we can do about it now, so don't worry about it."

19:24 AppleDash sighs softly to himself as the two ponies talk and then hug. He takes a step or two away from GyroTech yet still stays relatively close, not wanting to interrupt the other ponies right now, but also not wanting to leave them just yet.

19:35 Saphling sets down her mug and puts her hoof against his chest to prevent his hug. "I'm fine, really. Like I said, I've got a place to stay. And as for back then... there's nothing we can do about it now, so don't worry about it."

19:41 GyroTech smiles and rubs his hooves over the back of her head. "As long as you know that I'd never hurt you on purpose..." The unicorn leans down to give her a quick peck on the lips before pulling away. He suddenly remembers AppleDash and gestures at him. "Oh ya...my stalker showed up again..."

19:43 AppleDash turns to GyroTech and frowns as he hears the stallion's words. "Hey! I'm not your stalker... I just happened to be walking by when you came here, and I decided to say hi and maybe talk..."

20:03 Saphling says, "Don't kiss me. I'm not in the mood for your crap right now. Everything that happened is water under the bridge, but that doesn't mean you're allowed to do whatever you want. We aren't a thing, got it?"

20:14 GyroTech pulls away, having only intended a brief peck anyways. "I don't think that we are a thing...its just atht I didn't think you would mind a little bit of affection. I give it to all my friends...but if you don't want...then I'll stop." He turns to AppleDash, "Have you not stalked me multiple times in the past? That makes you a stalker."

20:18 AppleDash sighs once more at GyroTech as the unicorn speaks. "That was in the past, though, not anymore... I've already told you, I'm trying to improve so maybe we can have a chance of being friends."

20:30 Saphling sighs and glugs down her coffee. "Tender, gonna need a bit more." As the tender takes her mug, she turns to Gyro and AppleDash, her voice low and undetectable by any but the two stallions beside her. "Listen, Gyro. You and I aren't even /that/ far in our relationship. I don't consider you a friend. While I can't bring myself to hate you, per se, I don't want very much to do with you. I will let you know when you can do /anything/ other than be in the same general area, but until then, don't touch. Don't kiss. No intimacy. I don't want it. I don't like it. So don't do it." When the coffee gets back, she grabs it gulps down about half before she realizes it's too hot and chokes.

20:39 GyroTech winces as Saphling whisper yells at him. "Aww...but but...I thought we were friends...we seemed like we've had fun together. Fine...I guess I'll go then and leave you alone..." He leaves a few bits on the table to pay for the mares coffee and takes his newly filled cup back to his table, looking extremely hurt as he walks over there. "I cant beleive she hates me..." he laments to AppleDash, stairing at his cup.

20:42 AppleDash sighs and shakes his head as Saphling and GyroTech talk some more. As he sees Gyro begin to walk back to his table, AppleDash walks with the other stallion, coming to sit back down across the able with him. "I don't think she hates you... Like she said, she just doesn't think of you as a friend right now. I don't know much about your history with her..."

20:50 Saphling calms down a bit after she cleans up her mess. She looks back at the stallions and a guilty pang niggles into her mind. She sighs and goes over to Gyro's table. "Look, I'm sorry I snapped at you. I said it was water under the bridge, but I guess I'm not really past it yet. Maybe later, after I've calmed down a bit, but not right now."

20:55 GyroTech whimpers and frowns at AppleDash, shaking his head. "No...I'm sure she hates me. Why else would she send me away after we were friends...maybe I should just go and not see her again...it'll leave me with less heartache..." He says, getting up from his table and leaving his coffee untouched. As he does so, Saphling comes over. "Its alright...I know you hate me and I'll just leave you alone forever...I'm going now so you can be in peace..." He says, not making eyecontact.

21:01 AppleDash sighs as he looks oer at GyroTech. "I don't think she hates you... Just don't think she's in the best mood right now. She even said it herself, that she doesn't hate you..." he says. As Gyro gets up, he gets up too. "No, wait, don't leave... She's coming over here." he says as he notices Saphling.

21:04 Saphling rolls her eyes and smacks GyroTech, turning him to look in his eyes. "Didn't I tell you I'm not in the mood for your crap?" She asks, raising her voice. "Quit your pity party, pick your self up like a stallion, and go about life as usual. You're acting like it's the end of the world when I've already said your chances aren't zero."

21:08 GyroTech yelps as the hoof slaps him accross the face. "I was leaving you alone...what more do you want from me? Iwas going to go and just try to pretend I didn't even know who you were...just like you seem to want, never to be seen by you again..."

21:10 AppleDash winces as Saphling smacks GyroTech's face, taking a little bit of a step back and then turning to face the mare. "Come on, was that really needed?!" he asked, looking over at Gyro for a moment and frowning as the stallion speaks. "Come on, when did she ever say anything like that?"

21:14 Saphling glances at AppleDash. "It was needed. Gyro's being stupid right now." Then she turns to GyroTech. "Snap out of your funk! It's preventing you from hearing what I'm saying. I don't mind your company, Gyro. What I don't like is your advances. I don't want to do anything with you, but doesn't mean I want you to disappear, does that make sense?"

21:21 GyroTech head tilts at the mare confused by her words. "If you don't want anything to do with me, how is that any different from you not wanting me around? Its the same thing...You apperently don't like me so I wont intrude on you anymore..." He huffs out and then shoots a glare over at AppleDash, "And you arn't helping either."

21:30 AppleDash sighs again at GyroTech's words. "Ugh, Gyro, I'm pretty sure she means she doesn't wan't a relationship or sex with you. If you'd quit trying to get that from her, then maybe you might have a chance at being her friend." he said, at the same time taking a step towards him again to stand with him.

21:35 Saphling snorts, "Exactly. As a pony, you are enjoyable to be with. You have a way with words that most ponies don't. I like that about you. What I don't like is that you're constantly trying to get inside some mare, and when I'm around, inside me. A couple nights ago you succeeded, and I'm pissed about it, but that doesn't mean I never want to see you."

21:41 GyroTech perks up a little bit at the compliments, alowing his mouth to twist into a bit of a smile. "Oh...well I mean...I tend to be a little less eager after the first time..." He admits with a shy smile, "Though I'd always be open for you if you change your mind. But...hugs and kisses arn't allowed either?" He turns his face into a pout.

21:45 AppleDash looks over at GyroTech as he speaks. "Come on, you've already been told that she doesn't hate you and doesn't want to stay away from you. Isn't that good enough for you now? Stop trying to push it right now."

21:52 Saphling shakes her head. "Not until I say so."

21:57 GyroTech frowns and looks at the ground. "Oh...alright then...as long as it's not forever I suppose..." He says a bit sadly. "Well...you know my house is always open to you if you change your mind..."

22:01 AppleDash just sighs again as GyroTech continues to talk, standing there and looking between the two ponies but not saying anything right now.

22:06 Saphling shakes her head, "Thank you for the gesture, but I have a place to stay." She walks to the door, then looks over her shoulder. "Til next time, Gyro. AppleDash."

22:08 GyroTech waves a hopeful hoof at Saphling as she takes off, hopeing that she will be feeling a little better next time. "Well...I guess thats that then...I'm not sure where I stand...maybe a friend?"

22:11 AppleDash waves at Saphling as well as she trots away. "I dunno... She definitely doesn't hate you, but I think 'friend' might be a little strong at this point... Either way, Gyro... Can I take you up on that offer of coming back to your place?" he asked, with a hopeful grin

22:13 GyroTech gets up from his seat and shoots AppleDash a death glare. "I said that offer was open to friends...you are not there yet...You're only to the point where I dont' seriously dislike you..."

22:20 AppleDash 's grin falters a little bit at GyroTech's words and glare. "Aww... Come on, I just wanna hang out with you for a bit... I'm still out of my mare potions anyways, what bad could happen?"

22:25 GyroTech rolls his eyes at the stallion. "Need I remind you that you are much stronger than me and because of that alot of bad could happen again? Anyways, what If I'm not going to the house anyways...I need a pick me up."

22:27 AppleDash begins to frown as GyroTech continues to speak. "I know that... but like I've said so many times... I'm trying to get past that and not do anything like that again. And if you're not going to your house, why can't I come with you wherever you might be going?"

22:38 GyroTech frowns and shakes his head. "I mean I guess you could come, but I dont' want you associating with me whilst I'm there. You'll cramp my style and ruin my chances to actually have some decent fun this evening..."

22:40 AppleDash shrugs at GyroTech. "I guess I'd like to come, I doubt I'll get too much in the way of whatever chances you think you might have. And I see how it is... You'd like to have some decent fun with some random mare, as opposed to the way-more-than-decent fun you could have with me and have had in the past?"

22:48 GyroTech frowns and furrows his brow at the stallion. "I'm not into you, nor any other males and you're out of gender swap potions anyways. I don't find such activities with stallions fun nor entertaining, and while being a mare might have been enjoyable, I'd only do it with somepony who is not you." He turns to head out the door towards the bar.

22:50 AppleDash chuckles softly as GyroTech speaks. "Oh come on... I've said this a million times, too, but I'll say it again. It's quite obvious how much you enjoy stuff like that. You might not like the idea, and I know you don't want to admit it, but I think you don't at all mind the activity itself." he says. As Gyro begins to head out the door, AppleDash follows with him.

22:58 GyroTech rolls his eyes as he makes his way towards his favorite bar. "I'm sorry if physical stimulation feels good regardless of the source...but its not my cup of tea to do it with a male. It just doesn't feel the same, its not as rewarding..." He says, picking up his pace.

23:01 AppleDash picks up his own pace to stay trotting beside GyroTech as he talks to the other stallion. "That's exactly what I'm saying... You enjoy the physical part, so why not ignore the rest. Just close your eyes and pretend I'm a mare while I do stuff to you, and you can enjoy it. Pretty simple."

23:04 GyroTech grunts at the suggestion, "Because not only is that only half the fun, its hard to ignore your muzzle shape or your deeper voice or the fact that you make a larger mess than a mare, let alone the fact taht there's more to sex than just fucking...You miss key points if you arn't with somepony you enjoy fully."

23:06 AppleDash shrugs again. "I guess, yeah... But still, I don't understand why it's so hard for you to just go with it and enjoy it fully... You haven't even tried doing something willingly with me when you aren't under the influence of anything. At least try that before deciding you don't like stallions."

23:15 GyroTech huffs at the stallion with the bar in sight. "Its because I'm not interested. I'm not attracted to stallions and so its not something I want to do. Why is that so hard for you to understand? Are you attraced to cows or griffons or dragons?"

23:19 AppleDash chuckles softly at GyroTech. "Well... Now that you mention it, I'd probably do it with a griffon, yeah. As for the others... Not really, no. But let's stay within our own species... It just seems odd to me that you don't like stallions... They're so much fun." he says, as he continues to trot wuth GyroTech up to the bar

23:22 GyroTech stops at the enterance to teh bar and shakes his head. "See? You arn't attracted to cows or dragons and so wouldn't do them, despite the fact that they would probably be pleasurable and are intellengent creatures who might enjoy it. The same thing with me and stallions. You may enjoy it, it might be slightly pleasurable, but I'm not into it and don't actually care for it."

23:23 AppleDash shakes his head at GyroTech as well. "But those are entirely different creatures. Stallions are still ponies. And it's not just slightly pleasurable, it's way more than that. Even more so than with a mare, in my opinion/"

23:31 GyroTech sighs and shakes his head. "Its the same sort of comparision, and mares are more pleasurable anyway. Now, I'm done talking about this...I've got a date to catch." The unicorn pushes open the bar and picks a seat situated between two mares with no seat for the pegasus to squeeze into.

23:35 AppleDash sighs as well and trots into the bar with GyroTech. As he sees the unicorn sit down between two mares, he sits down on the other side of one of them. He completely ignores the mare's existence and instead just looks past her and over at Gyro, watching him.

23:41 GyroTech completly ignores AppleDash's presence as he orders a drink and begins to hit it up with the two mares beside him. He seems to be having quite a good time and the one nearest to AppleDash seems to be stealing lustful glances at the unicorn when he's not looking.

23:48 AppleDash turns away from GyroTech for a moment to order his own drink at the bar, figuring he might as well do so since he was here. He then turns back to GyroTech to continue staring at the unicorn a little bit lustfully himself, sipping his drink again still ignoring the mare next to him.

23:53 GyroTech enjoys his evening and after a bit, convinces one of the mares to come home to his house for a bit of fun, abandoning AppleDash at the bar.
