Hanging out on Break

16 February 2015

10:00 Inky ruffles Ruzeth's mane.

10:01 Ruzeth ees and leans into the hoof as the rings jingle together.

10:02 Inky giggles and pats the smaller pony on the head, letting him lean against her under what seemed to have become their usual tree.

10:03 Ruzeth looks up at the tree, smiling as he sees little cherries nearing ripening. "Its nice to see you again Inky. I've loved that this has become a regular thing with us."

10:04 < Inky> (when do cherries ripen?)

10:05 < Ruzeth> (mid summer)

10:06 Inky lets her foreleg fall to drape over Ruzeth's withers. Her folded wing presses into his side, a bit poky but not uncomfortable. The bat pony squints into the bright summer sunshine, glad for the shady tree. "I look forward to it!" the older mare says brightly. "How have you been?"

10:08 Ruzeth squrims as the wing pokes into his side, finding a comfortable position. He sees Inky squinting and raises a hoof to cover her eyes with a giggle. "I've been pretty well. The appothecary stand I started running in the market has taken off well enough after that training I went th rough."

10:09 Inky blinks when Ruzeth shades her eyes for her, then glances down at him and smiles. Her pupils were thin slits in the bright light, as small as they could possibly be. "That's great! And you can help Lucent with the rent too!" The bat pony leans back against the tree, letting her bun press against the bark. "How is he doing, by the way?"

10:10 < Inky> (I thought the Hearts and Hooves day thing could have been neat)

10:11 < Inky> (we never finished that time Ruzeth was testing potions on Lucent)

10:12 < Ruzeth> (Oh? Between Lucent and Ruzeth? That would be fun)

10:13 < Ruzeth> (That too.)

10:14 < Inky> (they're probably different times, I think Ruzeth would know what he was doing with the Hearts and Hooves day one)

10:15 < Ruzeth> (Huh?)

10:16 < Inky> (er, I mean, I don't think we should retcon the testing potions RP to happen during Hearts and Hooves day)

10:17 < Ruzeth> (Oh no that's not what I was getting at. I was refering to other stuffs0

10:18 < Ruzeth> (YOu just responded before I finished my response)

10:19 < Inky> (oh, I see)

10:20 < Inky> (your post, by the way)

10:21 Ruzeth smiles back at her, grinning excitedly. "Ya, I can, as long as he doesnt decide to ban me from brewing my clients requests in the house...He keeps complaining about the smell and stuff, but I never notice it." The zebra rests his head on her neck. "Well, he still is a little hesitant on coming to see you, or letting you into the house, but at least he doesnt object to me visiting you anymore."

10:23 < Loving_Heart> (hi.)

10:24 < Inky> (hello)

10:25 < Loving_Heart> (how are ya?)

10:26 Inky giggles. "Hopefully he won't," the mare says. "But I think he wouldn't do that." The bat pony lets her own head lean against Ruzeth's, pressing his own into her neck. "Is that why I haven't been invited back then?" she teases. One of her fangs pokes out of the corner of her mouth. "He knows I don't bite!"

10:27 < -> Dusk is now known as Citron

10:29 Ruzeth takes a deep breath and sighs, shaking his head. "No...he probably wont as long as I dont blow up the kitchen or anything like that, especailly once I help with rent this month," he responds cheerfully, "And ya...thats kinda why. And you admitted to biting sometimes...when we were with Dusk."

10:30 Inky lets out a light sigh. "I mean, I'm not going to bite *him*," she says. "I don't know what he's afraid of, he could probably buck me across the room!"

10:31 Ruzeth giggles and nods his head in agreement before throwing a hoof around her body. "Well...I know that and you know that, but he's a little harder to convince. At least he doesnt think you're a demon spawned by nightmare moon anymore."

10:33 Inky squirms briefly to get comfortable against Ruzeth. "Foal steps!" she says. The optimistic mare smiles. "I'm sure he'll come around eventually." She uses her wing to nudges the zebra in the ribs. "Though I think that particular phrasing was your own, wasn't it?"

10:34 Ruzeth blushes and averts his eyes as Inky astutely points out that's where he got the phrase. "But! But I was just having a little bit of fun at his expense. I dont know why he actually believed that I would do such a thing..."

10:36 < Ruzeth> (Inky)

10:37 Inky pulls Ruzeth closer, then noogies his head with her other forehoof. She holds him tightly, not letting him escape. "Well, this is what you get!" she says with a playful grin.

10:38 Ruzeth squeaks and sturggles to pull away from teh mare's grip, squirming in her grasp, but he's pretty well stuck there. "H-hey!"

10:39 Inky pulls Ruzeth in front of her and switches to tickling at his belly with her hooves, giggling madly the whole time.

10:40 Ruzeth yelps as he's suddenly on his belly, squirming back and forth as she digs her hooves into his stomach. He gives a mad bout of laughter, flailing his hooves to try and knock those legs away from him. "Hey! Stop!" He barely manages to get out through his laughter.

10:41 Inky keeps tickling the young zebra a bit longer despite his protests, then stops, a huge smile on her face. She lets Ruzeth recover in front of her, and gives his striped fur a gentle pat.

10:42 Ruzeth lies there, taking a deep breaths as he recovers from the mare's torment. "H-hey, that wasnt very nice..." he says with a frown as he looks up at her.

10:43 Inky shrugs and presses a hoof to the zebra's nose. "Neither was your prank, you know!" She looks down at him with a big grin.

10:44 Ruzeth tucks his legs to his belly and rolls so that he's no longer exposed to the mare. "Umm well, maybe, but he's my coltfriend so that makes it OK," he replies shaking off the boop.

10:45 Inky rolls her eyes. "Sure it does," she says. The bat pony gets to her feet and walks over to Ruzeth, holding out a hoof to help him up.

10:46 Ruzeth reaches a hoof up to meet hers and pulls himself back up to his feet. "Hey, you'll understand once you ahve your own colt friend," he responds with a grin.

10:47 Inky pulls Ruzeth back up, then raises an eyebrow at the zebra colt. "What makes you think I don't?" she says.

10:48 Ruzeth blinks at her and tilts his head. "Oh? you do? Who's the lucky stallion? Its just that you've neve:00] [16.02.15] r mentioned him, so I just assumed..." He responds, begining to bounce up and down in front of her.

10:49 Inky grins:00] [16.02.15] :00] [16.02.15] a:00] [16.02.15] t him a bi:00] [16.02.15] t t:00] [16.02.15] riumphantly. "His name is," she says, before pausing. Maybe introducing Ruzeth :00] [16.02.15] to Gyro wasn't a good idea. But on the other hoof, it would be a good way to make him practice civility! "It's Gyro Tech. He's a unicorn." The mare chooses to leave out the complicated deal with Zuthal, too, going with the easier to explain option.

10:50 < Inky> (it's c:00] [16.02.15] o:00] [16.02.15] m:00] [16.02.15] plicated ::00] [16.02.15] I ):00] [16.02.15]

He nudges on her shoulder and says, "Oh cmon Inky, you dont have to make up a coltfriend to impress me. Its alright," he responds, taking her hesitation to mean she was thinking something up.

11:02 Inky giggl:00] [16.02.15] e:00] [16.02.15] s:00] [16.02.15] and shakes her hea:00] [16.02.15] d. "No, he's real all right," she says. "I'll :00] [16.02.15] set up a meeting for you guy:00] [16.02.15] s. I think I can convince him to take us out for dinner."

11:27 Ruzeth 's :00] [16.02.15] enthusiasm fades a bit as :00] [16.02.15] she fails to return the cuddles with as much interest. "If he does...:00] [16.02.15] then why do you seem so hesitant?" he asks, returning her hug.

11:34 < Lime> ((hlo)):00] [16.02.15]

11:35 Inky puts on a wan smile. "It's, um, compl:00] [16.02.15] icated," she says. "You'll do great though." The mare pats Ruze:00] [16.02.15] th on the back.

11:36 < AppleDash> ( http://i.imgur.com/OOP3A9y.png ):00] [16.02.15]

11:39 Ruzeth half smiles at the mare, not seeming entirely convinced. He sighs and decides to let:00] [16.02.15] it go though.:00] [16.02.15] "So...any idea when we're gonna try this?"

11:41 Inky lets the hug drop, and stares at the ground, uncharacteristically subdued for a moment. But she perk:00] [16.02.15] s up soon enough. "Maybe sometime this week?" she says. "I'll stop by your apartment and let you know the night before, or something. We'll figure it out."

11:43 Ruzeth decides Inky needs a hug when she stares at the ground, wrapping her up tight and giving her a nuz:00] [16.02.15] zle. As she announces the plans he grins and begins to bounce once more, letting go fo the hug. "Ooh! This week? That sounds wonderful!"

11:44 Inky squeaks in surprise when Ruzeth hugs her, and that forces a real smile onto the mare's face. She nuz:00] [16.02.15] zles him back, fangs brushing against his fur. "You're right," she says, trotting around him, "it'll be fun!"

11:45 Ruzeth shivers as he feels the fangs agains this fur but he forces it out of his mind. "Ya, I know it wil:00] [16.02.15] l be. I bet he's a wonderful stallion if you've picked him out~"

11:46 Inky nods and blushes faintly. "I think he's really great," the mare says. She glances back in the direct:00] [16.02.15] ion of the library. "I think I have to get back, though," she says. "I'll see you later this week, okay?"

11:47 Ruzeth nods at Inky and waves her off as she begins to go. "Well alright~ I probably should get back to m:00] [16.02.15] y stand anyways. Might get another order or two before i have to close up~"

11:48 Inky smiles and waves back. "I'll have to stop by and check it out sometime!" she says as she trots away1:00] [16.02.15]
