Clouded Mind turned in surprise to see Somebeing coming to sit with them again. "H-hey again." she replied. "We could, but I don't know... as far as I hear, the merchants are not exactly fond of Stanzi..." she stated. She had no problem with staying longer. But who knows what could happen down here? If the merchants became angry enough with him, they could get violent.
1102
Watching him walk towards the table, Clouded Mind decided to rejoin the others. Of course, they'd eaten a good amount of food. Her ears flattened a bit as she took a few apple fritters. "Should've gone earlier..." she mumbled to herself. She could see the others looking busy or slightly quiet.
1103
Perking her ears and her eyes following a new stranger who seemed to right up and dash down the street, she quietly went up to the window. Meanwhile, her mother quickly walked over to fill in the last numbers she'd been putting into the register recently. What was the stranger up to? She could see them heading down to a river, but other building seemed to obscure much else. Other than that, she saw a slight flash- as if magic was being used. And a small line off colors before it quickly faded. "Did Dash give out a free lock of her hair or somewhat...?" she wondered. She glanced down to see some of the blue flowers a little blown over. The mare quickly nuzzled them back to their upright position before heading back in.

Heading inside, she could see her mother tending to the Lotus flower collection that she had on the top shelf. Of course, these were not native to Ponyville. They'd been shipped in so that she could have a look at them and then maybe see what the customers thought. As for forget, she'd begun tending to the register. Every now and then they would get a few ponies- some were in for roses, others for flowers that had herbal uses or were for alchemy formulas. But today was going rather slowly. She leaned over the counter and watched where the stranger had vanished- around a corner of some sort. That was where the Printer's shop would be. He looked rather young. Was he working for someone? His vest didn't have any logos and she didn't recognize it. Oh well.

Seeing that the Black Smith had his hands full, Clouded Mind decided that she might have to get armor repairs later. And besides, if the armor was so costly, what were the costs for repairs...? . However, the magic on her bag seemed to weaken a little... drastically. It hovered lower on the ground now. Glancing over, Clouded Mind could see her familiar friend- and he looked rather out of sorts- rather ill. She clopped on up to him. She could see two others walking up to him however. "they'll probably help him out..." she mumbled. But she still cantered over at a safe distance. "Did something happen...?"

Tending to a collection of dark-blue flowers at a nearby flower shop was a Unicorn of blue, her mane a light green. On her rump was a cutie mark of the same image as the flowers.... but something was missing. One of the flowers lacked the pollen producing center. As a result, other ponies generally thought she had the same talent as her mother- gardening. But they didn't know what that missing part of the flower meant. They couldn't quite remember why she had received it either...

Glancing up, her bright yellow eyes spotted a stranger flying above the town. They wore a strange vest, but nothing more. Were they new to town? Forget Me Not watched them carefully, but continued tending to the plants at the front of the shop.
1107
Seeing as the Black Smith was still busy, she continued to wait a bit longer for him to finish his other work. How long did it take? She didn't quite know, since she'd never worked at a forge. But she had to assume making something out of metal and melting it and then getting it back into a shape would take a lot longer than a few minutes.

Glancing over, she could see other ponies joining the table as well. A small smile crossed over her face. She was glad they were all awake. However, Somebeing was still... absent. The mare wondered if they'd ever sorted that out.
1108
Clouded Mind sat a little more calmly in front of the Black smith, allowing for them to finish whatever they were doing at the moment. It kind of reminded her of how her mother had always been focused on their book store back in Ponyville. Glancing back, she could see that Stanzi had moved over with the group and was attempting to eat. But the look on his face told her that he was also giving a rather familiar form of remark. Deciding to make sure that she could pay for the equipment that the black smith had in stock, she rummaged through her bag and counted the LAf inside... a great deal too, from her mercenary work above ground. Not that it was important... but then again, considering the cost of her armor if she didn't already have it, the repaires might not be very cheap.  She also managed to find a good apple in her bag. Unwrapping it, she nibbled on the green fruit to compensate for her hunger.
1109
Her eyes narrowed a bit. Odd... it almost seemed as if he was hiding something from them. But she shouldn't jump to conclusions. And she wasn't about to use her... "persuasion"... to get his name out of him. Whatever the case, he was with the group now and didn't seem to be doing any kind of harm. So she assumed it best to leave him be. "Maybe he's embarrassed or his name isn't quite welcome." she suggested. "Either way, we should let him give it to us in time." however, if he didn't seem willing... she might not be so patient in the future.

Hearing a  rather familiar voice, the Mare glanced down one of the streets to see Stanzi... putting a band of some shiny sort onto someone. It looked familiar too. She'd seen him wearing it earlier. Giving him time to finish his business, she quickly cantered over to the black smith. "E-excuse me?" she asked, in case there was anyone else who had business at the moment. "If you're not busy, can I ask your for some repairs on my armor?" she inquired.
1110
The mare's ears perked rather curiously. "You mean he's been like this for a while  now...?" she asked. Clouded Mind glanced at where the stallion had vanished. 'I need armor, but.... maybe I should sort this out first.' she thought. Her ears flattened back nervously as she looked at the other two. "How long has he been with you?"
1111
(( lol sorry, force of habit  :3))

Clouded Mind nodded nervously. She hadn't quite visited the black smith yet for armor repairs, after watching their encounter with the strange red pony. She assumed maybe it might be a good idea to head over there now, and began slipping away from the table. She could go there and be back for breakfast in a few moments. "Speaking of which, I might need to get my armor fixed..." she replied. Her bag obviously hadn't seen a repair vendor  in ages, but her armor wasn't exactly in as bad of a condition. It was still damaged though, and that might be a handi-cap in the future.

Her ears perked, seeing that Somebeing wasn't out yet. "I hope he's okay.... he seemed a little tired earlier..."
1112
Clouded Mind drank down her cider, yet seeing Somebeing leave without answering the Majem's question, she'd noticed that he'd never quite given his name to her either. Oh well... she didn't need to get it out of him or anything. He was probably tired and would tell them in due time. She nodded at Majem's response, but decided to keep a little quiet to allow him to converse with Rundo. As she listened and looked towards the kitchen where she could see the cooks rather engaged in their work, more so than usual, she turned to Rundo. "Thanks for paying for breakfast." the mare said, her ears perked as she could hear the food sizzling and being cut. They were small sounds, but indicators never the less. Hearing Majem however, she wondered if she could reimburse him some of the money. It felt odd, taking so much but not giving anything back. "I can repay you if that might help." she inquired.
1113
Clouded Mind gave them a more confident smile. "Nice to meet you then, Majem." she replied. She looked at his bow curiously. "So you're an archer as well? That should be handy." the mare inquired, motioning towards his weapons. Even if she was a bit off, having a bow meant that you probably had some skill in marksmanship. Seeing Somebeing beginning to drift away into the cider, she sipped a little bit of it. It was sweet, but not too sweet. She hadn't had cider since she'd been above ground, and the closest thing to it would have been the apples in her bag. But seeing how long it took for them to waste, she'd been having to wrap and find other means of keeping them fresh. "Thanks for the cider Majem." she stated. Looking towards a second group, she could see them heading over. The mare gave a friendly wave of her hoof.

1114
Clouded Mind gave a nod, taking her mug and toasting as well. "And to the road ahead!" she laughed. She'd set her bow and quiver down, keeping them strapped to her bag. The magic keeping it aloft was beginning to wear off, but that was alright. She looked at Majem and Somebeing, perking her ears. "My name is Clouded Mind. But for short, otherponies usually call me cloud or cloudy." she replied.

((Alright xD I'll make sure to be more patient.))
1115
Clouded Mind looked at the next stranger waving at them, yet again surprised. She smiled a bit. Maybe she would get to know the other ponies a little bit... easier? "S-sure thing." the mare replied. She nodded at Somebeing. "I'm sure having a quick drink will do us some good." the mare stated, clopping over to Majem.
1116
She gave him a rather curious tilt of the head. She'd stopped using her persuasion, but he appeared to be willing to tell her? Maybe he was just looking for someone to talk to. Clouded Mine shook out her fur and retreated a step at his reaction. "If it would make you feel better to talk, then sure." she replied. Her eyes softened a bit. "That's a shame. I've only met you and your enchanter, but something tells me only part of the group is 'together'." she replied.
1117
The mare shook her head. 'Don't pry like that- you don't need information.' she thought to herself. Her eyes returned to their sky blue color and she gave him a small smile. "At least it hasn't kept you from reaching this place." she attempted. She could see that he didn't quite look like giving away all of his secrets to a stranger. "It's alright... it took a lot to get down here. You don't have to tell me if you don't need to."
1118
Clouded Mind could see exhaustion in the stranger's eyes. As if they hadn't gotten much rest... he also looked rather uneasy. Her ears flattened back slightly. "Er... yes, I am." she replied. She gave him a rather apologetic look. "Was I interrupting something...?" she asked curiously. Her eyes seemed to brighten up slightly. "I can see that you look rather tired and were on your way somewhere..."
1119
Getting no reply from the Merchant, she wondered if they were asleep. Clouded Mind shrugged, but her ears gave a twitch as she could hear hoofsteps. Turning, she could see more ponies roaming the city. Many of them from the group she had just joined. However, she wasn't quite sure how to go about with them. With Stanzi, it had been a partial matter of business. Thus, she'd been able to talk to him a little more easily. But.... one of the ponies looked rather... distant? He seemed to be heading for the Blacksmith, where a strange redish pony was examining the wares. Shaking out her fur, the mare clopped on over to investigate. "Are you alright?" she asked.
