Ongoing Games (In-Character)Play-by-post games are going on in this forum as we speak (well, read). All threads on this board are actual games, so please, only post on a thread if you are a player of that game.
Heartflight shook her head, recovering form the teleport. She hovered a bit, testing out her wings before deciding everything was in order and following the others to the house. As introductions were made, she introduced herself as well.
"Name's Heartflight. And this is Gar," she said, indicating the falcon.
"Greetings, Heartflight and Gar. Interesting name for a falcon." The mare comments.

"Hello, Foxglove, Fox-glove, and Tweedle."
The Silver Dragon playfully roars at Tweedle.

That one she points to a male unicorn Is Faith's shield. You've already met Aurora it seems, so I suppose that just leaves me. My name is Anacra. How do you do?"
There are seats set at the table for the new visitors, and even a space cleared for Tweedle. Yeah, it's a big table.
Godwyn's eyes widen slightly at the mention of Icarus. His composure is near-instantly recovered though, and he gives only a small nod and a faint smile.
Once seated at the table, he looks around at the room full of various youths. "My goodness, quite a family..." he observes with a warm grin. "A pleasure to meet you all. As for ourselves, we are well. I hope you and your household are the same."

Tweedle Dee look a little nervous about the dragon roaring, but Dum roars happily back.
Foxglove is visibly balking at the prospect of being in a room, much less a table with, so many people. But she is brave. She is doing the social thing.
She is going to that table.
Also, because Fox-Glove is pushing her forward with his head.
"..."
She and Tweedle take their respective places, as her face fades into a complete void where expression goes to die.

"Um, good, we're good," said Heart. She wanted to ask if Broken Scale wasn't a mean name to name one's colt, but decided against it.

So she decided to focus her attention on Foxglove instead.
"Are you okay?" she asked.

"Mmm, I kinda like tall, dark and lovely myself," Gearstride said with a wink and bowed. "But it is a pleasure to meet you all."
"A pleasure to meet you too." Anacra responds.

The little dragon approaches Foxglove, and gives the closest thing to a purr a dragon can manage.
"Ein appears to like you." Anacra comments.

Broken Scale is actually a filly, not a colt. Will not say any more about her or the name, just thought I'd clear that up.
"Glad to hear you're all well...interesting to see ponies traveling with a Hydra, if you don't mind me saying. Most I've met would prefer to run in fear."
A few of the foals look at the Hydra in awe.
Nightwing is looking at Fox-Glove like she wants to pet him.
Solar Flare (the one who looks like a filly Celestia whose name I apparently didn't write down.) Looks up at Gar in interest.
Broken Scale appears to be examining Godwyn.
Mealtime consists of a few veggies for the ponies, specifically made food for Ein and Tweedle, and Anacra is currently preparing a stew for Godwyn. The drinks consist of milk and/or water.
"...W-well, I couldn't leave him...The people the world turns its back on...Those are the ones who need help the most...Also the ones on fire, or maybe on the edge of a cliff, or something. People on the back of the world may be Ok, though....
Foxglove muttered, casting her eyes upward as she petted Ein. She was also very much not fooled.
"He really is sweet..."
She encouraged, since Heart's secret was already blown.
Godwyn smiles politely at Broken Scale. "Hi there." He turns towards them so they can better see the breastplate clasped around the griffin's torso, emblazoned with a stylized heraldic griffin. Best to look heroic and cool for the kids, right?
When Godwyn notices Anacra making him a stew, his eyes widen slightly in surprise. "Oh, you didn't have to make me anything special..." he tells her with a sheepish, modest smile. "I'm quite fine with whatever the others are having."

"How does one become a Paladin?" Broken Scale asks, admiring the shiny breastplate.

"It's no trouble. What kind of stuff specifically do you like in your stews?" Anacra asks, throwing in various herbs and spices, and a few veggies. "I do have some preserved meat, since Ein likes some every once in a while. I don't know if you eat any, or prefer vegetarian meals." Anacra says, tasting the currently vegetarian stew. "Needs more black pepper."
Godwyn smiles warmly at the filly. "A Paladin is not an official title with set occupational requirements. At least, not anymore. Rather, it is a simply yet important decision one must make on a personal level. You must want to make the world a better place, to be nice and helpful to those in need, to be the very best griffin - or pony - that you can be, to strive towards being a paragon of goodness and strong character, and most of all, you have to be willing to put the needs of all others above your own, no matter the cost to yourself," he explains to her in a wise, sagely manner. His beak curls into a small, playful smile. "The colorful band of traveling companions is optional."
Godwyn then turns to smile politely at Anarca. "I have no specific preferences for ingredients, and I am fine with a vegetarian meal." No sense in taking little Ein's provisions, and eating a carnivorous meal in front of a bunch of ponies seemed... impolite.

"I'll keep that in mind, thank you sir." Broken Scale responds.

"Alright. Should be done in a few moments then." she throws a little more seasoning into the mix, pours it into a bowl, and sets it in front of Godwyn.
Solar Flare
Solar Flare decided to pet Gar as gently as possible.
"I like birds." she says, kind of mispronouncing the 'r' as little foals do sometimes.
"Why? Aspiring to be a Paladin yourself one day, perhaps?" Godwyn asks Broken Scale with a warm smile.
He nods respectfully to Anacra. "My thanks, m'lady." He takes a bite of the soup, and whether or not it actually tastes good, he gives the mare a smile of enjoyment.

"Was hoping to do something with my life one day, and that sounds about as good as anything." Broken Scale says.

It does in fact taste good. Anacra, who now sits down to politely eat her own meal, is definitely no slouch when it comes to cooking.

"I think I saw a Phoenix once. She was pwetty." the little foal says, and continues gently petting Gar. "What does he eat?" She asks.
"Troublesome foals like you." Obsidian Flare says.
"Does not!"
"Girls, we have guests, can we please save these kinds of arguments for when they're gone?" Anacra asks somewhat sternly.
Godwyn looks up from his stew to smile at Broken Scale. "Well now. Wanting to do something with your life is an admirable aspiration, indeed. Motivation and drive are excellent traits to have, compared to the complacency or laziness. But I feel I should warn you, while being a Paladin can be a rewarding experience, it is not an easy life. Sometimes it can be very dangerous. Sometimes it can be quite challenging. And sometimes," he leans in and smiles wryly, "Between you and me, it can be kinda boring."
He's not trying to discourage her from being a Paladin. But he wants her to realize it's not all heroic awesomeness, and that it's a life decision not made lightly.
He takes another bite of stew, before raising a curious eyebrow at Broken Scale. "How much do you know about Paladins, out of curiosity? Besides what I have told you, of course..."

"Yes mommy." the two foals say in response.
Foxglove eats her food quiety, but does respond to the topic of the food,
"Oh, a bird Gar's size could really only eat you .... if you were already dead and he were picking.... small pieces of flesh from your corpse... or maybe some nutrient-rich entrails...But in Equestria, most birds don't concern themselves with scavenging."
Foxglove said, ignoring concerns like 'what makes for good conversation over food' or 'what doesn't make you sound kind of creepy'

Cue everypony in the room other than Anacra being horrified. Dragon isn't either, but that's because it doesn't really understand what Foxglove said.

Obsidian Flare goes over to Gearstride and pokes her.
Godwyn looks up from his stew and smiles politely at Broken Scale. "Either will suffice. Whichever you prefer."
That smile becomes slightly strained and forced when Foxglove starts talking about entrails and carrion in front of the children, and at the dinner table no less, but he manages to maintain his appearance of kind etiquette. Barely.

Scale is clearly trying to avoid that big pile of Awkward as she responds to Godwyn.
"Where there is no third option, you create one. You find the way in the darkness. Where there is no hope, you bring hope, because you are a paladin, and giving up is incomprehensible. When people say "someone should do something about this," that someone is you. And sometimes all you can do is apologize, that everything you had within you wasn't quite enough." BRoken Scale says, summing up her own view as well as she can.
"You probably have a special somepony, don't you?" Flare says, and pokes back again.
"Mmm....not exactly. I don't have so much as a special somepony as opposed to part time special someponies.
"I haven't really met that one pony to really call my special somepony," She said with a small smile and poked the filly back. She probably wouldn't be that good at keeping that special somepony anyway.

"Aww, why not? You seem like a nice pony, and you're pretty." Obsidian Flare responds, and once again pokes Gearstride.
