- >The pub absolutely bustles with activity.
- >Both Equestrian tourists who came for the ceremony and local Nevlarian folk drink, talk, socialize, and have a good time.
- >This morning was a monument of a morning for both countries.
- >The new King of Nevlaria crowned.
- >It was such a wonderful ceremony.
- >And great for Nevlarian tourism.
- >But now, after all of that activity, it's great to wind down. Of course, by relaxing this evening with a nice cold brew at the local pub at Nevlaria's capital.
- >You sit at the table by yourself and sip your pint.
- >Heaven.
- >Your right arm has healed up rather nicely. You got the cast off a few days ago.
- >Good thing, too, because this is your beer drinking arm.
- >With a happy sigh, you sink into your seat and soak in the busy pub atmosphere.
- >Loud voices, glasses clinking and clanking, hearty laughter.
- >It's just what you love about these places.
- >Suddenly, out of the corner of your eye, you see the door swing open.
- >Instantly, everyone in the pub shuts right up.
- >There, standing at the entrance with a cross look on his face...
- >The newly crowned King Blueblood.
- >His royal red cloak flutters behind him as he begins his stroll into the pub, his regal shoes clopping on the wooden floor. Citizens instantly begin greeting him.
- >"Good to see you, King Blueblood!"
- >"Congratulations on the ceremony!"
- >"Looking forward to living under your rule, King!"
- >Others mutter to themselves.
- >"What is he doing in this pub?"
- >"Isn't this a little beneath him?"
- >"He could do so much better..."
- >The royal p0ny ignores all of this, his nose high and his eyes closed.
- >He strolls right up to you and stops.
- >His eyes fling open and lock to you.
- >You sit frozen, pint to your lips.
- >...Finally, you finish your sip and place down the glass.
- "...Can I help you?"
- >Those words alone cause several in the pub to gasp.
- >Others, mainly the Equestrians, simply smirk.
- >"...Peasant," he starts, "you are in my favorite seat."
- >You mock a confused look.
- "Oh, this?"
- >You shuffle your ass in the seat.
- "Yeah, I can see why. It's damn comfy... buuut..."
- >You pick up your pint and swirl it.
- "I'm already kind of sitting here, and I'm comfortable."
- >He narrows his eyes at you.
- "So why don't you--"
- >"Oh for Celestia's sake, they've pulled this prank a hundred times!"
- >Blueblood's eyes widen, and he almost laughs, turning to the crowd.
- >"Hey!" He shouts, "To the dungeon with the stallion who ruined our ruse!"
- >"How about just a pint?"
- >"That'll do!" Blueblood responds.
- >The crowd cheers loudly in response.
- >Blueblood laughs and sits down with you. "The fun never ceases..."
- >You comfortably sit with your buddy, enjoying your beers just like the old times.
- >He visually looks do different in a king's garb...
- >He notices you staring, and laughs. "What are you looking at?"
- >You smile.
- "You look so different now, but you're still the same Blueblood I've always known."
- >He smiles in return. "And I always shall be, regardless of rank."
- >You look around the pub.
- "I definitely think the citizens here will enjoy that. A king with the people, you know?"
- >He sips his beer as he nods. "I definitely agree. One must connect with the citizens. It's something I've learned over my time with you."
- "And something that I'm sure influenced the decision."
- >He smiles to you.
- "Nevlaria seems like a great place, man."
- >"It truly is, I am going to love my time here." He tips his glass to you." And, of course, you always have a place to stay, whenever it is you visit."
- >You finish your drink, then speak up.
- "Yeah, just don't make me hike over here again."
- >He laughs heartily. "Never again! You needn't worry!"
- >You wave over to the waitress for another pint, then lean in closely to your friend.
- "Now, other business..."
- >He raises his eyebrow.
- "Your queen..."
- >He rolls his eyes. "Oh please, Anonymous, do not call her that!"
- "But it could happen!"
- >"I am just not too sure about that..."
- "You NEED to ask her!"
- >"To be my queen!?"
- "No, idiot! Not right away! You gotta ask her out!"
- >"But... but that is so nerve wracking!"
- >The waitress brings you your beer. You thank her, take a sip, then tilt it towards Blueblood as if you were pointing with it.
- "You guys have been sending letters back and forth non-stop, man. You GOT this! Just invite her over to your kingdom and show her around!"
- >He laughs nervously and looks away. "It would have been easier if she could have attended the ceremony..."
- "Minor inconveniences! Now the NEXT letter you send, you invite her over! You ask her out!"
- >You can see him thinking about it.
- >Or her in general.
- >Fluttershy.
- >...He laughs through his teeth.
- >"Okay... fine, I will. But JUST because you always seem to be right."
- "NOW you're getting it!"
- >You laugh heartily with him, then clank your glasses together.
- "To you, Blueblood. Congrats on everything."
- >"And to you, Anonymous, for being the best friend a stallion could ever hope for."
- >With that, you both take a big drink.
- >To each other.
- >To things to come and things that have passed.
- >To your long-lasting friendship.
- End of Blue-Blooded Rivals
