    Clearly.

    Tyrol mused for a little, before putting down three cards face-down. Lemongrass rolled his eyes and placed all his cards face down and drew a new hand. (I assume we're playing the variant where we're allowed to discard our hand and draw again.)

    And at the front he was trying to do just that, making the munnies.

    Sandy had been sidelined by injuries enough to know how little others could do. Visiting, bringing favorite dishes, but those wouldn't help a busted lung. He found himself just watching the rise and fall of Silverpine's chest as he lay there on the cot. A nasty and cruel role reversal from his own near-death a month back with the dragon.

    "No. I'm looking for the *squawk see-reek scree* that stole my best friend's soul." If anyone in the room could speak griffon, they'd probably wince.

    Meanwhile Ms. White just looks confused. "Um. Pardon?"

    "I don't want to have to use a defensive spell for this. I just want to talk. Unless you want to just sap me and jump out a window again."

    "But...who...you..what...what did he do to you?"

    "Dr. Horne didn't do anything to me. He just saw my potential, like he saw yours."

    "You're corrupted! Like that wolf, like he tried to do to me!"

    "Like you succeeded in doing to him." A table, some tea, four seats and four cups appear out of nowhere. "Care to listen?"

    "....what?....she?....."

    Luka gets surprised by the sudden change in the filly, he completely didn't expect that; and since his father was a griffon, he knows the language, he winces. Nor did he believe Arvadraa was as evil as Stellar described, even less if someone actually sent a corrupted wolf after her.

    He sneakily slides the scarf from Stelar's neck, steps away from her and tries to reach his sword with his right hoof just in case she really turns out to be corrupted, then remembers he doesn't have his armor on....again.

    when the table appears he whispers to himself
    "great! nice job! you just brought trouble!"
    He then facehoofs.

    "Chermanix Green. Technically it's reeds but it tastes like spearmint and chocolate." Stellar has dropped the helpless filly facade entirely, and is now sitting and calmly sipping tea, eyeing Arvadraa with something halfway between fear and burning hate.

    "Maybe..."
    She said swaying to stay up. She was utterly exhausted, the adrenaline rush she had been running on leaving her. She still was a dried mud mess, she hadn't given herself a chance to lay down, relax her hind left hoof.

    She furrowed her brows and laid her chin on her crossed forehooves, she had decided to lay across the bench taking up the whole thing.

    The older mare took a baseball out of her pocket and played with it gently. "Can you get him for us please?"

    "I uh..okay..."
    He walked to the back of the shop where Big Bruce was at. "Um, there's some mares in jogging outfits who want to see you."

    His face scrunched up. It was like dealing with nobles, generals, and royals. He hated it. "I guess I can't assume anything when dealing with monsters." Grills brushed back his mane. "Care to try again or should I give you time to study?"

    If she had been looking and saw his scrunched up face she would have given herself a field day at getting one over him, sorta. She turned to look at the just composed stallion, lazily. "What if I decided not to do my homework?"

    She gave him a once over, trying to find something anyway to use. She knew he liked mares a lot, she didn't forget when he was in his way hitting on her a long time ago, she just didn't know what to make of it then, but this morning' gave her a different insight. Particularly what she learned about in a certain book's passages as weird as it was. "Your stuff is so small, I bet mares fake it." She didn't really know too much on what she talking about, but hey, she could, well fake it.

    Big Bruce's eyes widen. His body shiver and he falls under his desk. "Tells them that that I aint here. That I'm gone o' somethin' Get those mare's out of here."
    "Hauh?" Then it clicked when a little word he thought he had heard Bruce saying earlier. He nodded quickly taken aback by this all. Gyak..those mares were mobsters. "Y-yes..right away."

    He left the back room and walked to the front with a warm apologetic smile, all that poker facing lately had seemed to come in handy lately.

    "Ah...I'm sorry ladies, my mistake, turns out he left a little while ago to run some errands for the shop,"
    He said looking at them in the eyes. "Is there anything else you need ladies?"

    Luka just stands there pretty confused, with a bit of anger for falling to Stellar's facade, doesn't say much since he doesn't really know what is it going on about.

    Tyrol snorted and put his hand down. A pair of saucy nines. "I never have luck in these kind of games," he grumbled, thankful that he wasn't putting any money on the line.

    Lemongrass tossed down his two pairs of suggestive aces and alluring tens. "Ack! Can we please, please, play something else?" he pleaded.

    "I didn't steal his soul!"

    "His dying a slow painful death suggests otherwise. What do you even have to gain from lying?"

    "Good! His slow painful death is just reward for my long painful life. And I'm not lying! I don't even know about his soul, if he ever had one! You and your little mind games, his treachery, conspiring, hurting, destroying! Why should I do anything you say?! What have you ever done but try to kill me? Why shouldn't I kill you?!"

    "Me?" She mulls this over a bit. "I suppose you don't have any reason not to. The Doctor, on the other hand...when you were brought in, you and your family were half dead. A horde of...something, bandits, warriors, I'm not sure...they'd razed your home and nearly killed you. One of their mages put curses on you. Slow, rotting tumors. Dr. Horne couldn't save any of the other three...but..."

    "You weren't so close yet. He had to open up your skull to remove the tumor. You resisted the anesthetic though, just like the melatonin. But he was too late. You were dying. He was desperate. He tried something that had never been done before. He poured himself into you, sharing your strength. But you woke up sooner than expected, and fought back. You took that essence, and fled."

    "Have you ever wondered why you survived? How you got these powers? You took his shadow magic, right? Teleportation, shielding, animation, deconstruction...you might not have tapped it all, but it's there. But I'm here to get rid of it. He needs it back. You're strong, you can live on your own power. But he can't. He needs you. We need you."

    ...Blink blink blink. "He...no. No, you're lying. You have to be. You all...we...I..."

    "I don't care if you believe me. I just want him safe. But I thought you should know the truth."

    Arvadraa sits down heavily, dazed. "I can't...I need time to think...I.."

    "Time is a luxury he doesn't have. You need to decide now."

    Luka slowly comes out of his BSOD and tries to work out the argument.

    "wait...she said he sent a corrupted wolf to get her, and it was trying to kill her, and when I seen her first she was practically about to fall into pieces cuz of that dog.... How do you know he didn't tell you that to make himself look like the good guy? just like you did to me?"

    He really was skeptic about Stellar's belief that Doctor was really "trying to help" if he left such bad memories into Arvadraa, he could hardly believe anyone would do that.

    "...The Doctor can't corrupt living creatures. That power belonged to his shadow magics, which he doesn't have. And I know because he did the exact same to me. Minus the soul-shift and escape, because I'm not currently under mental duress from having two souls at once."

    "You're blaming the wolf on me?!"

She knew he liked mares a lot, she didn't forget when he was in his way hitting on her a long time ago, she just didn't know what to make of it then, but this morning' gave her a different insight. Particularly what she learned about in a certain book's passages as weird as it was. "Your stuff is so small, I bet mares fake it." She didn't really know too much on what she talking about, but hey, she could, well fake it.
    He nodded approvingly. The taunt barely affecting him. He was able to take a professorial tone with ease. "Oh. Ouch. Oh. Close. Close but you leave yourself open to counter. And erotic taunts aren't distracting unless you actually slept with or know someone who did. But that is good thinking." Grills scribbled on the imaginary chalkboard.




    "Hauh?" Then it clicked when a little word he thought he had heard Bruce saying earlier. He nodded quickly taken aback by this all. Gyak..those mares were mobsters. "Y-yes..right away."

    He left the back room and walked to the front with a warm apologetic smile, all that poker facing lately had seemed to come in handy lately.

    "Ah...I'm sorry ladies, my mistake, turns out he left a little while ago to run some errands for the shop,"
    He said looking at them in the eyes. "Is there anything else you need ladies?"
    The younger cuter mare whispers to Ember in a sweet and friendly voice. "Well, you tell him that the security company has noticed a lapse of payment. Services will be put on credit hold tomorrow if his bill is not paid. Kay?"

    The two ponies, pegasi, flap their wings, sending a strong blast of wind across the room. Papers fly. Mannequins tilt over. Dust is kicked up.

    When everything settles. They are gone.

    "Yep, that's a good point. Ya might just be helpin' out, or ya might just be tryin' to do all kinds of nasty experiments after the ones that made her all dra- No, wait, what's the word? Ah, right! Traumatized!"

    Blades glanced at Arvadraa, then back at Stellar. "If ya want to take her, ya'd better take me too, 'cause I'm not trusting ya with her alone."

    Ember frowned, damn them, he had to deal with that stack of papers. He picked up the mannequins and put them back as they were and collected the paperwork. When he was done fixing up what he could, he returned to the back to see Bruce.

    "I uh, they're gone,"
    He said furrowing his brows.

    "Ack...really?......Who even knew about our arrangement aside you, me, Grills and Sweet Victory?"
    He asked worriedly, starting to fret, blame himself.

    "Doesn't make sense. It's not making sense." Big Bruce rubs the side of his head. He is definitely frazzled and upset. "I don't want to sell out to them though. We are going to need help."
