Azrael shrugged. "She just likes to get places fast." Raven walked in through the door, hopped the counter, and gave Dusty a hug. "Hi, Dustbbutt! Just a coffee today, I'm about to steal Blacky for a while." Dusty chuckled. "Good morning, dear. Coffee. As soon as you free me." Raven released him and hopped back over, going to sit with Blackened. "Hey there, you."
That's a pony that deserves an entrance like that... Tail thought as Raven walked in. "Oh hey, Raven," Blackened said as she sat next to him. "So what did you need me for?"
Nightshade had flown most of the way to the bar with Raven, then headed east toward Hollow Shades, telling Raven that she would meet her at the bar later. ********************************************************************************************************* Nova nodded. "How about a glass of Mer De Noms, then?" Static, realizing who Raven was, looked her over quietly.
"Oh, is this about my vocals or something?" he responded. "Sounds like it'd be fun." Tail smiled. "Sure thing."
Dusty nodded, pouring Nova a glass of Mer De Noms. "Perfect wine, if I say so myself." "Well, that and your guitar stuff," she responed. "We wanna see what you can do on rhythm." She then looked over and jumped a bit, noticing the huge dragon in the bar. "Oh. Hi, there."
"Yeah, after I chat with Nightshade. She said she'd meet me here before I left." Raven chugged down her coffee. "Oooh... that's so much better."
"Hello, young mare," Static replied. "I take it you are..." He was interrupted by Nightshade walking in, carrying a satchel and several bakery boxes. "Hey, Raven! I've got good news, and I've got better news!"
Nightshade tossed a bag full of bits over to Raven. "All the victims of the cockatrice made it home, and there was a five thousand bit reward for slaying the beast. That's your half. And that's the good news."
She set the bakery boxes on the counter and opened them. "One of the ponies who came home was the baker's brother, and the baker gave me as much as I could carry! I've got four-berry pie, fresh baked muffins, amazing croissants, and a whole chocolate cake!"
"Dusty," Black called to Dust, waiting in preparation for heading off to the studio, "How about a Mer De Noms?"
"Thanks." He took the drink and sipped it, remembering the pony who made the wine was in the same room. "Mmm."
Nightshade nodded and grabbed one of the croissants. "Mer De Noms? Isn't that the fancy wine all those Canterlot snobs like? Also, why are my grandparents here?" She glanced over at Nova and Static. "Hi, by the way".
Raven grabbed and scarfed down one of the muffins. Asmo shrugged. "To tell me I'm not hot in an eldritch sort of way? Have some drinks?"
Nightshade took a moment to process what Asmo had just said, and blushed a brilliant shade of scarlet. "Grandmother! Why?!"
