(Who is walking around town, TheWar? This isn't chat. You have to put in effort.) Narrowleaf was suddenly knocked out by the mare slaver. "This one's going back to the block. He's causing a lot of problems lately. This is his last chance. One more mistake and he's going to a different block." She said, dragging him. After a few minutes, she got to a slave storage, where she chained him up and threw him into a cage.
Blackout blushed. "R... Romance, did you say? Um, yes... I grabbed one of those, too. The characters are mostly Unicorns, though... nopony writes about Earth Ponies anymore." Heart Song giggled, leaned over, and whispered in his ear. "That's okay. I rather... like... Unicorns."
When he awoke, Narrowleaf began to shake the bars of his cage. "'Ey!! Let me out, magic head!!" He screamed to the slaver. "Somebody let me out!"
Heart Song's shameless flirting had caused Blackout's face to turn a brilliant shade of red. Panicked by her forwardness, he did his best to focus on something else. "Um.. I... uh... we should... let's just go to the park and enjoy this nice day." Heart Song smiled excitedly. "The park? The one with the big pond? I would LOVE to go swimming!"
Ice's ears perk up as she heard Narrowleaf screaming. Making her way to the sorce of the sound, seeing Narrowleaf all changed up in the cage. Taking a good look at him from a distance, before walking to the slaver. "Would that one be for sale?" she said, pointing at Narrowleaf. (srry, haven't done forum rp in a while :I)
The mare slaver gave a sigh. "I wouldn't pick him, 'E's trouble. This is his last chance, too. One more slip up and he goes to another kind of block." She responded. "He's free, though."
Atalanta came down stairs, leaving the necklace behind,"sorry, obsidian's what I need, the way pieces shatter, chip, & break off is important to the arrow making process…", Atalanta said, then waved a goodbye to robin as she slowly walked out of the building
Ice took another good look at Narrowleaf, grinning afterwards. "I think he won't be a problem. How much?" She said, looking at the slaver.
"He's all yours. No need to pay. Just don't let 'im out of your sight." The slaver responded. She sighed and opened Narrowleaf's cage door. He crawled out and sighed. "Alright. I'll do whatever you say, mistress." Narrowleaf mumbled.
"Well, the land you wanted is south of here. Should have a wealth of obsidian and other ores and gems". He said smiling. Chucking a small bag of wood and stone. "I think you can work out what to do with this".
Ice grinned for another moment, turning around and motioning him to follow her. Ice walks a bit forward and then looks back to see if Narrowleaf is actually following her.
NarrowLeaf followed nervously. "So... If I may ask, why'd you take me? I'm just a useless Dirt Horse..." he asked.
Ice smiled kindly at NarrowLeaf "I could see something in you. You can take a few hits. Besides...every slave there is a 'dirthorse'. Do you really want to call yourself that? I'd be fine with earth pony...I have respect for all as long as they're kind." she continued to walk untill she had reached her home, opening the door for NarrowLeaf.
After arriving at the park, Heart Song headed immedietly for the pond and dove in. As she swam, Blackout sat in the shade of a large oak tree and read his Changeling book, stealing occasional glances at her. He could not understand it, but she was unlike any mare that he had ever met. Though he had only known her for a day, he suddenly realized that he was falling in love with her.
Ice thought for a moment "Well, i do have a filly of my own. And i am engaged. But he decided to take a trip with my filly...and i'm ok with that, since i know he'll try to take good care of her. How about you? Got any family nearby?"
"I've got some kids. I've been around the darker slave trade a few times before." Narrowleaf responded with a chuckle. "So you're one of the lonely mares that buy stallions when their hubbies are away, aren't you?"
Ice giggles "Well, not really. Tough i do enjoy some company. Most of the friends i used to have are gone because of this slavery..." Ice sighs but then smiles at Narrowleaf "Aren't you coming inside?" She was still holding the door open for him. (i can't help but think how Applejack and Pinkie would be in this situation, and how her friends would have responded to that )
