Unexpected visitor. Logs for Cury!

<WhiteLight> It was now sometime in the afternoon now - or close to that perhaps - although the sun was still high in the sky, with a few rays of sunlight coming through the window over the fireplace, which had recently died down the ash still emanating some smoke, illuminating most of the living room quite well... White had not gone to her shift today as she had been busy going places and not coming back in decent times to sleep and wake up early enough, so she was just sitting on one of the chairs around the table in the middle of the room, with her head propped up over it on a hoof... Blankly staring at the wall past it.
<GreenLight> "R-right, my house is just across the bridge and on the farmland..." He gives a questioning look to the stone cold Iron Wing "...IT's freezing, how can ya be so nonchalant about this weather?"
<GMC> *The vanguard mare chuckles softly, somehow proud of her unsensibility. "Is that so impressive to you? I've been working on the Northern lands since I joined the Vanguards. Besides, cold is in your mind" One of her armored hooves gestures as she speaks, poking her forehead a few times. "You've spent a whole year or so here, aren't you atl east a bi
<GMC> t used to it as well?"
<WhiteLight> Dr Mew, White's pet 'kitty' was also on the table, laid down at the edge of it were the warm sunlight was hitting, its long tail spike lazily dangling from the side of the table, the cat seemed dormant for the moment but its ears twitched at every faint sound... White idly pat the critter's head as she pondered about some things she had been told... And wheter she should go to towering mountain or not... Written by humans who were destined to visit the place that was prepared for them,  Starry's words were still kinda lingering around in her head as she tried to not forget, as it was very easy for her to do when something so complicated.
<GMC> *The march goes on as they talk, the mare never stopping, and completely unimpressed by the spectacular magnificence of the frozen river. The wooden bridge creaks below her mighty hoofsteps*
<GreenLight> "Well, yeah, but... It's just I gotta be under a lotta layers, heh." As they cross the bridge, he gives a soft shudder, breath visible in front of him "Should be just a little bit more."
<GMC> *She nods uninterested a couple of times, out of politeness at least. "So..." The subjects changes again, as Iron proves to be somewhat of a capricious talker. "...do you live alone, doctor? Or have you found your special somepony on this land?
<GMC> "*
-*- GreenLight scratches the back of his head, a bit sheepish with his ears folded back "I-it's still a touch early, but... I really do think I found my special somepony.  She might be home right now, we'll see!"  Trotting up to the glorious door, he knocks a couple times before opening it and holding the door open for the Equestrian mare
-*- WhiteLight blinks a couple times, for a moment she doesn't really react to the knocking but after snapping out of her stupor, she swivels her head to the side rather quickly "Y-yes? Who's there?" she called out towards the door, still not getting up from her chair.
<GreenLight> "It's me, and a surprise guest- an Equestrian vanguard pony!"
<GMC> *Iron trots in bearing a soft smile on her tough face. Her hoofsteps are still somewhat thunderous as she goes in, and her towering height dwarfs the stallion that politely holds the door open for her. "Thanks, Mr. Greenlight. Lovely place you have." Of course, she speaks out of courtesy. Her sharp eyes havent' even stopped to witness the lobby yet
<GMC>  when Whitelight's voice resounds. "Guess she is in the house then, heh..."
-*- GreenLight closes the door behind him, smiling "Heh, thanks Miss Wing!  It's cozy, for sure.  Would you like some tea?"
<GreenLight> [[/me directs Cury to Topic for White's description of house!]]
<WhiteLight> As the vanguard mare enters, she walks into a rather bland and still mostly unfurnished living room, with only a long rectangular wooden table with two chairs on the left and one on the right, on the other end of the room on the far wall facing the wall was the fireplace, again, still unlit, But right in front of that was also a large plethora of colorful blue and green blankets stretched out on the floor like a small makeshift matress... White didn't really respond to the unexpected visitor, who was also a vanguard official as she just heard... Her expression remaining mostly blank and unsmiling, silent...
<GreenLight> [White, are you sitting at a chair near the table?]
<WhiteLight> [Yis]
<GMC> "I'd love some tea, thanks" Is all answer Iron gives to Greenlight before she gets herself closer to the nest of blankets. "Hm... interesting how you don't worry much about furniture. Soberty is an old trademark of my family as well, Miss.... ?" From where she stopped, the gray mare looks at Whitelight with curiosity. "I'm Lieutenant Iron Wing."
-*- GreenLight gives a soft chuckle "H-heh, we just finished building this house less than 2 weeks ago, and are still waiting to contact a friend regarding more furniture."  Nodding, he goes to the kitchen, getting dat tea kettle ready and heated.  "I'll be out there in a second!"  He calls out
-*- WhiteLight sniffs and slowly lifts her hoof away from her alot pet, and as her expression finally started to gain some emotion, which was mostly of surprise as she REALLY wasn't expecting a vanguard pony to show up at her house, one day after getting told about them at the vault, although out of politeness, she puts up a small kind smile and greets the mare properly, hastily standing up and hesitantly giving a short bow of the head, "A-ah... L-lieutenant h-huh, w-what brings you t-to out... Very humbled h-home...?" she asked in a very sheepish manner.
<WhiteLight> "H-humble, e-even..." she corrects herself and promptly breathing out a quivery huff of only mild agitation.
<GreenLight> [>Short bow of the head-]

<WhiteLight> bow of the head, "A-ah... L-lieutenant h-huh, w-what brings you t-to out... Very humbled h-home...?" she asked in a very sheepish manner.
<GreenLight> [[Snrk]]
<WhiteLight> [>+10]
<GMC> *Wing looks unaware of the mare's agitation, and so continues scanning the mostly empty room... until her eyes stop on the 'Alot'. Her curious expression changes into a small frown. "Miss Humble" As she misunderstood Whitelight's answer. "I take it you acquired that pet at Mist Veil? Are you aware they are really dangerous, are you?"
<WhiteLight> Dr Mew still remained seemingly dormant until its head suddenly lifted up off the table and turned towards the door as it 'detected' some other ponies walking in, the kitty had no eyes and its face was just a boney white slate, it still had a mouth and a nose of course, and it immediately started sniffing the air with its tail spike lifting up over itself.
<WhiteLight> "M-..." she blinked a few times at being called, 'miss humble' Oh god what am i doing? The anxious mare though to herself as she  quickly turned her head around to look at the kitty as it is mentioned, "W-wha- Oh! Y-yes i... I did, ma'am, And i am aware of how dangerous they can be." she replied, shifting her nervous and flustered looking gaze back to the armored pony, "B-but they aren't really aggressive at all... When i went to try to befriend them they weren't at least."
-*- GreenLight hums, happily pouring three cups of tea and balancing them on a plate that Crystalshine and Tali gave them, trotting carefully to the table and placing it there before taking the seat next to White "Tea's ready!"
-*- WhiteLight gulps and slowly breathes in and out as she turns around to bring out one of the chairs for the pony, "Uh, Please! M-make yourself comfortable Lieutenant! I'm sorry if this is not a very... Uh.. How do i  put it, inviting? Place?"
<WhiteLight> "I-I'm still working on it..."
<GMC> "Ms humble?" Repeats the gray mare, somewhat worried at White's silences and odd acting. "I see... try to keep it well fed, specially if you plan to have foals..." The small advise is followed by a smile, somewhat forced, and she goes on talking. "... There are ugly stories regarding Blind-Shreders. Hmm... I think 'Alot' is their real name, in the
<GMC> army they re-name everything" Iron looks relieved at Green's announcement of tea, and turns aroudn to assist him. "Don't worry Miss Humle. Your place is in fact beautiful, it reminds me of my own" And sincerity floods her words.
-*- GreenLight gulps, a bit flustered at the prospect of kids "O-oh, I can assure you Miss Wing, it'd be a bit before I can see myself as ready to be a father, heheh."  Scrunching his nose, he raises a brow hides a soft snicker at >Miss
<GreenLight> Humble.  "Well, I like this place, don't need a mansion to be content, right?"
<GreenLight> [Dang enter key I swer]
-*- WhiteLight seemingly tenses up as she's once again called 'humble', Quickly sitting down on her chair again right beside GreenLight, nodding at the vanguard pony's comment, "O-of course, I'm working on that as well! N-need a steady income of mea for the thing... Don't want it to starve! Hehehe..." White gulped again, glancing back between the mare and Dr. Mew a few times, who is still laying on the table, with its eyeless gaze fixed on the knight.
<GreenLight> [>Gaze fixed-]
<GMC> "They are big and cold. Is a pain to clean them" Mentions Wing as she picks the plate from Green, and carries it to the table with swift motions, using her left hoof with surprising grace in spite of how heavy it looks. "My thanks for the tea, it looks tasty."
<WhiteLight> eyeless gaze fixed on the knight.

<WhiteLight> "A-and Ma'am, M-my name is WhiteLight... N-not H-humble, i was kinda referring to my home when i mentioned that, ma'am."
<GMC> *Iron widens her eyes and blushes slightly under her fur. A few coughs serve her well to hide her embarrassment, and she quickly finds a seat next to Whitelight. With her eyes going from the alot to the cups of tea, she says. "I'm so sorry, I guess I was distracted at the moment. Hrm... S-so Miss Whitelight, have you heard of the Vanguard before?"

<GreenLight> [[C-could someone PM me errything after last time I spoke]]
-*- WhiteLight 's eyes slowly drift away from the two  and instead decides to look down at the table, still not sure how to feel about this, obviously kind of honored to see an equestrina of that rank here! Though she heard bad things about the vanguard... Though this mare looked nice enough, "S-sorry If I'm a little nervous, Miss Iron Wing... No need to be sorry about that really..." she pauses for a second at the question, sideglancing the pony but not pulling her head up, White still looked very nervous but kept a polite smile on her lips at all times "Yes, I've heard about the vanguard..." her tone quickly lowered into a whisper, as if afraid to say.
<WhiteLight>  No need to be sorry about that really..." she pauses for a second at the question, sideglancing the pony but not pulling her head up, White still looked very nervous but kept a polite smile on her lips at all times "Yes, I've heard about the vanguard..." her tone quickly lowered into a whisper, as if afraid to say.
<WhiteLight> "M-mostly bad things though..."
<GreenLight> "Erm, you have?"  He tilts his head, confused "I-I for one am still in the dark, though I just assumed it was, like, a faction of the Equestrian guard?"
<GMC> *Iron's big hooves, covered in golden armor, claps one of the cups and gets it close to her lips. She nods with a defeated gaze on her while sipping the hot drink. The cup rests on the table again, such as the big mare's hooves. "What saddens me more about your answer is that is not a suprise at all. And is part of the reason I'm here on the first
<GMC> place... Maybe I could share a story with you two, so to break the ice between us a bit and spill some light upon my intentions." One could see how she had thought about that sentence carefully before spelling it out; words aren't the mare's strenght.
-*- GreenLight nods, taking a small sip of his tea "I... I'd like that, if that's okay with you."
<GMC> "Have you heard of the royal ascention, right? The period of time during which Celestia and Lune reached princesshood over Equestria" Her introduction is interrupted by more sips of tea, and she waits for an answer before continuing.*
-*- GreenLight scratches the back of his head "It's... been incredibly long since I watch- ERRR, read about it..."
-*- WhiteLight gives a quick nod  in response to Iron's words, and remains silent as to carefully listen to this story while her hooves moved up from under the table to hold onto the last cup still on the plate, "Not exactly... I'm not too well informed on the... Equestrian history and all of that unfortunately." she replied to the armored pony before taking a sip of her tea as well.

<WhiteLight> "There's not much about that here I'm afraid... Perhaps there is but I've never really asked about it."

<GMC> "Since you watched 'My little pony', eh?" Her chuckle is brief, but honest. "You aren't the first human I talk to, Mr Greenlight. I've heard that story, but let's not change subject" She clears her throat with more tea. Eyes over Whitelight now, she goes on. "It was a way more troubled time than anypony would think of given how 'peaceful' thing are
<GMC>  nowadays. That happened over One thousand years ago, estimating very roughly. When Celestia and Luna acquired influence among ponies, many dissident groups, rogue states and old fashioned monarchs caused revolts and chaos. It was a messy time, almost chaotic."
<GMC> *She makes a brief pause to have more tea, and to pull down her cloak enough to show the Morning Sun crest on her breastplate. "This became a sign to fear on that time. At first, it was the sign of a mercenary group. It was always on the side of money"
-*- GreenLight frowns "And... I'm sorry, Lieutenant Wing, but that's not something I'd consider a good thing..."
-*- WhiteLight rolls her eyes at her 'My little Pony' comment, eliciting a short chuckle in response as well the meek mare listening to the story seemingly getting a bit more comfortable with the knight's presence, even if she retains the rather tensed posture and highly polite manners, that honestly she keeps with almost anypony. She continued to sip her tea and keeping a respectful silence as the mare went on.

<GMC> *She hides her breastplate again, still smiling -- maybe wider than before. "Not at all. But the princesses changed that. They took the bloodiest, most feared mercenary group of the second most war troubled time of our history and turned it into loyal servants and protectors of the values we see today on Equestria. This was a decisive strike. Celes
<GMC> tia confirmed that the power of friendship and love could more than greed... But nothing is that simple." As she passes a hoof through her mane to uncover her eyes more, Iron Wing lets out a long sigh. "Many states, particularly at the borders, were still against the central order. Let's put it this way. The lands between Canterlot and the wastelan
<GMC> ds were completely loyal to the sisters, while the northern region and high lands were a mess of warring states, most of them joined against the royals. Without mentioning the many provisional orders and 'religions' that surged.... that's why the mercenaries turned good became Celestia's best weapon against disorders on the North. They became the v
<GMC> anguard of her army, and brought peace, understanding and safety to the far away lands... do you get where I'm going?"

-*- GreenLight nods slowly, closing his eyes in thought as he tilts his head, an ear flopping over.  "I... Yeah, I think.  Turned mercenaries into valiant guards to finish this civil war?"
-*- WhiteLight simply nodded in response, taking another sip of the tea as she gave a sharp jerk of the head to the side to get the large bundle of blue hair away from the side of her face.
<GMC> "To be a Vanguard became a great honor in the army, only the elite could do it" She nods at Greenlight a couple of times, and seeing her tea getting cold, she quickly grabs it. "My family has supposedly run on it since the year 302 of the Sun's reign, or... Celestia's reign if you want to call it like that. The period in between Luna's banishment a
<GMC> nd her return. Thing is, this military branch has been running during so long, and gone under so much, that is no longer what it used to be... It doesn't mean I'll tolerate its name being misused, or disrespected, but I understand why you all don't trust in us... If only I could just cleanse our ranks and recover our honor" The last sentece wasn't
<GMC> exactly spoken to the ponies, but to herself, and her lack of social ability made it hard to hide what she thought. "I'm ready to do my best here to ensure that you Cannonites are treated like you deserve, but I'm... stuck, to say it in a way"
<GreenLight> "Stuck? How so?"  He opens an eye, raising a brow "And thanks, after hearing about all that I... can certainly appreciate your tale, and believe your word.  Stuck as in, you're not able to really do all you can to ensure that us Cannonites are treated properly?"
-*- WhiteLight then slowly quirked a brow after a bit as a thought crosses her mind, or a question even, she puts the half-empty cup back down on the table before bringing her attention back to the mare "M-may i ask something? Just really quickly... Out of curiosity really." she finally speaks again, giving the knight a more somber look, her smile slowly fading after Iron had finished.
<-> GreenHoof|Sleep è ora conosciuto come GreenHoof
<GMC> *Iron Wing sighs and nods. "We are impopular even within the army. Is why I asked Private Steamy to go undercover yesterday... Her superior didn't actually want her to public the paper she made. You can dig out the rest..." She glances at Whitelight and smiles at her. "What is it, Miss Hu-.-- oh, oh stupid me. Miss Whitelight"
<WhiteLight> "I know you might not be able to answer this but... You're an equestrian and... I don't know i was just wondering, why did the princesses decide to put all the way out here?... Alone to fend for ourself with little to nothing in a dangerous wilderness?" she asked keeping her voice somewhat low in some form of respect for the pony she was addressing, "A-and its not that... We don't trust you there are people who still have faith in the equestrians... But none of them are showing us any... You know, nothing much to prove that they are really there."
-*- GreenLight mumbles "Private Steamy... So /that's/ her name."  Clearing his throat, he perks an ear at White's question, wondering the same thing himself
<WhiteLight> "And the vanguards have done more bad than good to us... I've been told that, way back in the day now of course... That they would interrogate and use mind wiping spells for... Not much reasons i think at least."
<WhiteLight> "They even took the towns barracks to do what they wanted to do... Kinda shoving out our town's guards i presume."
<WhiteLight> "O-of course I'm sure they had some reason to do that, but... So far the vanguards have not seemed like nice guys to hang around with."
-*- GreenLight blinks, unaware of a lot of this... and anxiously waits even moreso for a response
<GMC> *Iron's smile dissapears, traded by a frown. Her big hoof softly smacks her face in clear irritation. "Great Inspector Cross Heart and Captain Solar happened to this town..." She drags her face a bit before shaking her head a few times. "Sadly to all of us, we Vanguards are allowed to do so. You see... even if some of us Equestrians don't consider
<GMC> you like that, on papers you are a 'foreing, inter-dimensional culture'. You aren't filed as allies or enemies, but as something else. As defenders of the realm and all that we can literally over-take the colony if it becomes necessary. Ponies like Cross and Solar are the kind of greedy ones that would do it if it means more ranks for them... Imagi
<GMC> ne what would be to 'nullify' an unknown menace all by themselves. They could even be ascended to Majors or Brigadiers with ease." In an outburst of rage, her heavy hoof slams the table. The furniture wins a crack where the armored hoof landed, but substain the hit... "I promise you I'll top those abuses, but you must trust me. I'm the representant
<GMC>  of the vanguard in the town now, so Solar can't come anymore and order things around without going over me. My rank may be lower on the scale, but my duties outmatch his power." The pony couldn't take her eyes off the Lights as she spoke, full of concern and contained anger at what she just heard. "As for why you are here... that I don't know. May be it has to do with your legal state. Many nobles see you humans as nothing but a pesky menace, or a trouble of over-population and 'economical depression'."
-*- GreenLight gives a small huff, frowning "And here I thought we left questionable military personnel doing questionable things for selfish reasons back home..."  He jumps at the /slam/ on the table, yelping slightly and observing that scratch.  Nuts.  "L-look, I trust you, but do you understand how we can be a lot more weary about your organization after hearing you speak of your superiors like that?  I-I heard that this colony used to be an older colony, with Equestrian ponies, that... mysteriously died due to unknown reasons.  I just kinda sorta assumed that we were sent here in an 'if we survive great, we can export mining materials to Equestria, and if we don't then darn' predicament, but... Waugh..." He looks down, a touch defeated.

He looks down, a touch defeated.
-*- WhiteLight jumps up a bit as well at the unexpected hoof slam on the table stifling down a light whimper for a moment as she listened to the vanguard mare speaking attentively... White glanced down to Dr. Mew who promptly jumped off the tablel upon hearing the sudden, loud noise from the armored hoof coming down on the table, it 'grumbles' a bit at it jumps down and skitters off into the kitchen as the door was still open... White had mixed feling about the whole thing and was pretty unsure on what to say to that... Her mouth hanged open for a full second as she tried to get the words out of her mouth "W-well... We trust that you will Lieutenant, i can tell that you're a nice pony and I'm sure the others will change how they feel about the vanguards after a while with you in comand..."

<GMC> *Iron Wing doesn't worry, or notices, the crack she made at all. "I'm at the service of you all as well of Equestria. My rank inside the embassy is practically the same as Captain Wind, so don't be afraid of going to me for advise, help or to inform me of something odd." She's relaxed now, but not much. Shifting her hooves in front of her cup of te
<GMC> a, the lieutenant hesitates before searching inside her clothes. "Here, have this paper. Is the one Steamy was supposed to deliver."
<GMC> (http://pastebin.com/DfSvS1dn)
-*- GreenLight nods "W-will do... White or I will be sure to hang it up on a place that's accessible to the majority of Four Cannon."
<GMC> "Thanks, I trust you will... as for what you said. This region is the farthest before the high lands and then the frozen kingdoms. Is only natural that you weren't the first to attempt to colonize it, even if under Equestrian orders. There's a lot of history bond to this land, that's why Sir Alegra will visit as well. She wants to update what's kno
<GMC> wn of old history of the Northern region."
-*- WhiteLight sideglances GreenLight for a moment as she takes the note handed out to them and curiously skims through it for a minute, quirking a brow with her lips slowly curling up into a small smile again, eliciting a sharp nod as she sets it down on the table, "Mhmm! I'll make sure to put it up in the inn or on the townsquare's board!" she added, rather excitedly all of a sudden giving Iron wing a more genuine smile.
-*- GreenLight grins "That's where I was hopin' it'd end up.  Maybe the Town Square board?  A buncha ponies aren't going to the Inn much in winter..."
<WhiteLight> "I'll make sure to have some questions ready for Sir Alegra when he comes visit, Do you know exactly when he will visit us ma'am?"
<GMC> *The armored mare supresses a laugh. "Sir Alegra is a mare, Miss Whitelight. She's an Earth pony from Trottenham, if you are interested on it... I've even had the joy to know her personally once. She's as wise as she's intrepid, I'm sure you'll be pleased to know her too. Her visit isn't exactly scheduled yet, but it'll be around Spring, probably when the weather allows a better exploration of the land"
-*- GreenLight snrks at the slight spaghetti but regains his composure "I'd agree, winter isn't Four Cannon's best time."
<WhiteLight> "Wha---" her voice cracking as she abruptly stops and goes silent again, shutting her lips tightly with her cheeks reddening slightly for her accidental mistake, "Mm, Well uhh... M-meant she then... Still I'll be very happy to meet such a pony I'm sure! Hopefully i wont be so busy being anxious about possibly offending that I'll manage to have a good conversation with her..."
<GMC> *Iron nods in agreement. "Is one of the reasons this region is so abandoned, even by the Vanguards. Most patrols assigned to this area even invent excuses not to get near here... Like the Ghost Officer legend, or the tale of the black pit"
-*- GreenLight chuckles, giving the mare a gentle nuzzle "Bah, I can't really see you offending anyone, White."  Looking to Iron, he grimaces slightly "I know about the cold, but,... Ghost Officer legend?  Tale of the Black Pit?"
-*- WhiteLight quietly chuckles at herself in a sheepish manner as she leaned back on the back rest of the chair, still keeping a wide, respectful and genuine smile to the knight and widening just a bit after the nuzzle from him, "I-i guess... Those are made up legends right?..." she asks with a mildly worried tone.
<GreenLight> "W-would you mind elaborating, Lieutenant Wing?"
<GMC> *Iron giggles the best she can. Not because she forces it or is not amused, but because her rough voice doesn't sound well trying to be girly. Regardless, she looks pretty amused. "I'm sure Sir Alegra would find the mistake funny... and sure thing, although they are legends made by lazy Vanguards, if you ask me." The mare takes a break to finish he
<GMC> r tea in a few sips. "It happens that many years ago a renowned squadron of ponies dissapeared on this region. They were known for their skill and ability to survive, so nopony really knows what happened to them. Some say they were all betrayed by their officer, a pony that nopony really remembers on name or face by now.... the story has changed to
<GMC> o much. They say that her ghost still roams the land, trying to kill any Equestrian military she meets. The other one is less grim, but more... dark. The black pit is supposedly that, a black crack in the ground that was found by a group of Vanguard explorers. They supposedly saw how their officer fell into the hole, and when they tried to get him
<GMC> out, they discovered that the pit was endless... The truth is that probably they tossed the poor pony into the hole themselves." Her eyes acquire some coldness, maybe on regret of telling that story. "It has happened before that soldiers have gotten rid of an officer in such ways, especially on the Vanguard... my father died that way, in example."
-*- GreenLight rubs his temple with a hoof, leaning on his foreleg on the table as he soaks in every word that the Vanguard professional says.  "A... renowned squadron of ponies disappeared here?  I... heard of an experimental colony, for sure, but not, like, an A-Team of sorts..." Scrunching his nose, he rears his head up and takes a small sniff before sipping some more tea.  "Still, I'm a bit perturbed as there always see
<GreenLight> always seems to be a kernel of truth in all those wild stories..."  As the knight transitions to Tales of the Black Pit, he gulps.  "An endless pit?  S-seriously?  That's... That's absolutely horrible!  A-and my condolences about your father..."  He breathes a heavy sigh "W-where is this located again?"
<GMC> *She waives the condolence away with a hoof, uninterested on it. "It's fine. He probably deserved it... but he was still my father. Is why I'm somewhat interested on learning about all those stories; so I can prevent them from happening again. And the black pit is located somewhere near the town, by what the last repot showed. Is a very old tale, though, about fifty years or more." Her attention changes from the topic at hoof to the windows. "Hrm... Don't worry about military teams dissapearing like that. Sacrifice is what we are here for..." Unceremoniously, Wing gets up and carefulyl places the chair she used back where it was. "I'm sorry, but I have to leave now. I think we over-extended
<GMC> this little chat session"
<WhiteLight> "Why would a soldier just straight up kill their superior tho?... Soldiers must've been really mad at that one officer to want him dead..." she added after hearing Iron's words, giving the pony a sympathetic look, a bit saddened by her last comment, "And yes... We would like to know if this is an actual place... Some ponies wight be interested in hearing this."
<WhiteLight> "Over-... Oh..." White slowly averts her eyes from the pony and lets her sile quickly turn into a frown, "I-i see, we don't want to keep you from your duties! Very sorry... W-we can come to the embassy to meet you again Right? If there is any need for it."
