I let out a soft sigh as I re-buttoned my pants. "Well that was...interesting." I started laughing as I finished my sentence. Rose trotting in with a bit of a limp. "Are you sure you're alright?"

She turned her nose up and smiled wide. "I'm fi-" She stumbled, nearly bashing her muzzle against a counter top. "Okay...maybe not."

I straightened her out. "Dear god, was it really so much?"

"Hey shut up! I don't even know why I let you do that...."

"Because I'm a charming and if I may say so, dashing, individual." I walked behind her and let my fingers dance along her ribs. "And because it felt good."

Her coat bristeled under my touch, ears twitching too. "Hey alright...I-" she let out a small giggle as I rubbed her side. "Okay...okay...enough!" She stomped her hooves, "It's enough. For now."

I threw my hands up and walked back. "Alright...but sensitive hooves and arrow fletching are an amazing pairing." I danced an arrow between my fingers and ran my finger through the soft fletching.

She tensed up as I ran the cold metal head across her side, shivering as I dragged it across her flank. "H- ooo...hey!"

"Pff...fine." I stowed the arrow and walked with. "Why are we-" I was cut off as Rose flung the curtain of her shop wide open. Rows of ponies had plastered themselves against the large bay windows. "Uh...I think they might have heard us."

The ponies quickly drew back. "Monster!" They started bolting off in every possible direction.

"Yep...I think they-" Once again I was cut off by a loud bang. "Oh what now!?"

"You!" None other than the vampire weirdo stood in the doorway with a saber.

"Oh shit!" I pulled my bow off and pulled an arrow, managing to pull it taut as the Wallachian planted a boot on my chest and forcing me to the ground. His sword's tip was pointed at my throat while I had an arrow aimed at his eye. "Boyar...hello."

"Saxon scum...you harm the ponies?!" He pressed his boot into my chest.

"No, but it looks like they harmed you!" The Boyar's hand shot to his eye.

"Oh and so you are funny? What is screaming!?"

I pursed my lips and turned my head to the terrified Rose. "That was...we were...."

The Boyar looked at Rose, she showed him a bright red blush. "Oh you sick little man...."

"Better than some of the mountain skanks you keep in your bed!"

"Gypsy!"

"Vampire!"

"Idiots!" A third voice entered the fray. "Both of you are absolute idiots." The monk wandered over to us. "For the love of god stop acting like children right now!"

There was a long standoff before the Boyar nicked my cheek with his saber and stowed it. I got to my feet and jabbed his tit with an arrow. "Asshole!"

"You cut me so don't start!"

The monk just let out an exasperated groan. "Both of you out...go back to Europe...I need to deal with all of this."

I stared at the two angrily. "Fine, Duncan. But Vasili is still a prick!"

"As are you Carmichael...as are you, now get out."

Vasili started speaking Romanian as he walked out. I was glad I didn't speak his filthy bat language anyways. I waited at the door and eavesdropped on the Monk and Rose. "I'll take...of it...not a....idea...Mayor?" This bored me. I had to get home and take care of some things anyways.
