"Young master!" She cantered over him and began to fuss over him. "W-what happened to you? I..." She brought a hoof to her mouth seeing his bruises, healed cuts, and hind leg.
"I...hey Aubade...its a long story...but...I'm fine right now," He warmly smiled and tilted his head.
Lochbed groggily woke up from the kiss and noise. She smelled something sweet. It was the scent of brownies and of blood. Her tired eyes drift over to Ember. His aroma was alluring. "Ember, did ye git inna scuffle. That weapon under your leg is no sharp and looks flimsy. " she asked pointing to the crutches.

He smiled at Lochbed, at his real Lochbed, not no darn changeling clone, but his silly, curious, and sometimes scary fey fillyfriend. "Uh, yea, got myself into a scuffle, hurt my leg, these are to help me walk easier." He went over to her and gave her the hug he wanted to give her, placing his crutch against the couch. "Are you two doing alright?"
Aubade nodded, warily looking at him slowly nodded her head, if he wasn't going to divulge information now properly, she'd ask him of it later. "Yes, my lord, I'm fine...'was making brownies for us later."

"Well that's how it works. A structure gets threatened and it either crumbles or rebuilds, even stronger than before. Though, I think it's more a matter of the town choosing me. I'm certainly not complaining...on any account."

Meanwhile, in the South of Town - Staccata
Of course with all the talk of Vamponies going around, any rumor of ponies skulking around the graveyard would warrant investigation. That's why Staccata's trotting around this part of town. The mare is obviously not a vampony but prepared for the lusty deception that it's said they possess.

"Exactly, during that silly attack by the moose and some unicorn nobles, my house completely, destroyed to the foundation, but, with my insurance I'm getting to rebuilt my house, thinking of adding an indoor pool," Royale chuckled and guzzled down another shot.

Ember rolled his eyes, but kept hugging his silly Lochbed anyway, nuzzling her glamoured pink cheek.
Aubade stared at Lochbed for a moment and amusingly shook her head. "No, no, brownies are a treat, a dessert for after dinner tonight. Alas, I am more than willing to make claim that the cleaning gets done by my own hoof." She proudly nodded.

She may or may not find a xanadu green mare skulking this part of the neighborhood, trying not too look inconspicuous that she looked conspicuous.

Looking suspicious, Staccata decides to test to see if Gearstride was walking around trying to hide something. She walks up and passes the mare, giving half of piercing glare to see just how on edge the captain is.
Of course if Gearstride's memory isn't acting up, she may remember Staccata as the mare that 'got lost' in the ship a month and change ago with an amorphous personality.

Even as a pretty mare, one who hasn't been seen in a long while ends up but a blurry nameless face in memories for this one, well until reminded. Gearstride does appear to be on her guard, tense, ears perked, her head whipping behind her as Staccata passed her.
"Excuse me miss, 'tis not safe for civilians I wager to be out like this, not with the sun setting, possible creepers on the prowl,' She said in all seriousness not realizing she herself came off as a creeper.

Hay Bale
Balboa's place
Hay Bale knocked on the door, wearing what could have been a buisness suit if it weren't so wet, as if she'd just jumped in a pool.
Applying for jobs in Bridle Shores was very, very strange.

Balboa's Canterlot Estate
The guards at the tall double oak doors regarded Hay Bale, one regarding her too much. Benson just doesn't want to think or care right now that much how she got through the front gates authorized as most unauthorized flyers and teleporters get shot down/gunned, so we'll assume she got through the front gate via normal channels, saves on thinking.
The door opened to show an old stallion, a butler who had a name but Benson forgot it. "Mmmm, yes, Miss Hay Bale is it? Usually the master of the house does not do 'walk ins' but..." He glanced her up and down. "I'm sure he wouldn't mind." His voice seemed permanently in dull monotone. He spoke into his ear piece. "Inform Master Balboa he has a lady guest."
He then looked at her again ignoring that she looked like she' just jumped in a pool. "Follow me."

"I remember when optimism used to be part of this complete breakfast."
"They're right to be nervous. Even experience bows to brute force sometimes."
"Tell that to Timestream, Gulville, Terris, Thadinbard, Ahlvale, and you."
"...Sometimes, I said. Can you hold out against an army with corrupted Shimmerite?"
"Yep. Those last two words are the advantage. They're gonna think it's an advantage." Taylor fires off a small sun blast into the sky. "We're gonna prove 'em wrong."

Nervous, unsure, not how a predator would act. Staccata begins analyzing while pretending nothing's going on on the exterior. "Oh those are just some silly rumors nopony should pay any mind to," the mare states. Of course she's not going to admit that that would be like what the town's looking for's answer.
Maybe a minion, or unwillingly cursed, or maybe just afraid of being found out. Or just on a silly dare out to the scary part of town during a scare. Her brain is ready to over-analyze all the things!

"I beg to differ to call those rumors silly or rumors at all in front of the ponyfolk who were attacked last night," She pouted her lips and huffed. She took the moment to look and face Staccata properly. "Ya know, you look familiar."

So Lochbed noodded. She wrapped her hooves around Ember and held him. Occassionally she'd nuzzle him. Sometimes he's stroke him mane. The embrace remained though. It was a direct order. "Ember, is this another pact or something else?"

The sniper looks down. Her ears dart around, ever vigilant on work. "I remember. I remember us kissing but.. why haven't you done that again? Kissed me without me asking or hinting that I want one. Kissed me because you want one."
