Traveling Tantalus and Tree Tits Troupe. (Private)

She had smiled when he thanked her, and stared as he left, still covering her lap gingerly, afraid it would grow to full size. She was quiet and thinking hard when he came back, and chugged the juice, some spilling down her chin and onto her chest. She sighed softy and set the cup aside. "Thanks." She said, the word had multiple meanings, for the juice, and for being so nice. "I guess I am too easily aroused." She joked. "That, or I have a fetish for kindness." She giggles. "And yeah, my leg will be weak for about two or three hours..." She looked back at the sky, hoping it didn't rain any time soon, for she had nowhere to go.

For the time being, he sat quietly next to her as he took his time savoring the flavor of the cool lemonade, and sighed in relief once he was done with it. His ears flickered a bit as she made her joke of a fetish for his kindness, which he took rather well as he chuckled heartily. "Three hours, huh...? Well, if you need anything else, let me know. I'll be close by..."

Noticing that she kept staring into the sky, he began to do the same and began to make conversation in a relaxed tone. "Nice day, isn't it? We picked this day for the landscaping since it meant clear skies during work... And to top it off, the local weather team is set to start a steady flow of rain in the evening. By then, all we planted should be set up and ready to get water, so it's as good as it gets..."

She wasn't listening and only heard the part about rain. "Buck!" Her ears flattened against her head. "I got nowhere to go if it rains, I have none of your currency for a place to stay, and..." She sighs and starts to get up, but winced and sat back down. Her shaft had been VERY conspicuous and noticeable when she tried to stand but she looked too pained to notice. "Can't even walk." She grumbled, covering her lap once more. She looks to him. "I don't suppose you'd be willing to...Take me in for the night?" Her tone was friendly and seductive at the same time, and she smiles hopefully. "You, uhh, might have to carry me, though..." She said quietly, and looked away, thinking she had asked too much.

Sugary moved closer and placed his arm on Sakura's back to make sure she would keep her balance while sitting. He did notice her erection, but tending to her condition was more important. "Hey, easy easy. Don't force yourself yet... Listen, if it's an issue, I got no problem offering you a place to stay. Wouldn't be the first time I've done it for others. But rest up a little more for now, okay? Then I'll take you to my ship... Just one thing though... How far did you travel to get here then?"

She blushed softly at the contact, and her face got greener as he spoke. "Thanks...And as for travel...I walked...maybe, fifty or sixty miles..."She looked at him quietly, and took a few deep breaths, calming herself and feeling herself getting softer. "I don't think I'll be able to repay you..." Her hand snaked into her pocket and pulled out a tiny vial, filled with a blue liquid, which she downed and slipped back into her pocket. "Stamina and painkiller potion." She expains. "Helps with injuries and when I'm tired and want to still have some fun." She grins and winks at him. "Thanks again..." She mutters something in another language, Latin. If he knew the language he would have heard her say that she hoped to cuddle up to him later, and possibly try to seduce him.

He had to ponder what it was that she had said in Latin. Since he spoke another language as well, it sounded familiar to him, but he could not decipher what she had said since it was still very different from what he did know. Even so, he smiled a little more when she winked at him as, other than her getting injured, the day had been going rather well and she was pleasant company as far as he was concerned.

Granted, he still had to remark on the distance she had traveled. "You're welcome... And 60 Miles... On your own legs... That's some stamina for your figure alright... But I can see how rain would be an issue traveling that far for anyone... And don't worry about pay, it's on me. I'm not gonna charge you when you're in a bind. Also, I wasn't kidding when I said the airship is also my house. It has 4 beds and two rooms, a small kitchen, and a small bathroom meant for very long travels, or just to live in fair comfort up to 4; So you don't have to worry about me having to move stuff around either, it's what it was made for... Speaking of which, do you have anything else you need help getting on the ship, or are you carrying everything you brought on you...? Also, why is your face turning... greener?"

She had smied and started to answer but was caught off guard by the question. "G-green? Oh, yes, well, that would be...umm...my...blush." Her face got even greener. "Anyway, I left my bag and my jacket at the library as a favor, that purple mare just about vivisected me for information, I told her all I could, and she owes me enough to let me leave my stuff there. But I don't want further disection so I will never ask to stay the night there..." She sighs and reaches out to him. "Can we go get my stuff real quick, and go to your...airship." She seemed to experiment with the way the word rolled off her tongue.

"Oh...! I see..." The more time he spent with her, the more he realized that she was perhaps the type to get flustered easily if her mannerisms were anything to go by, aside from the fact that she had been rather honest about her feelings, so it was only further solidified.

"Get your stuff at the library? Sure thing... But do keep in mind, I have a wage to claim later. First things first though..." He didn't have to make much effort to hold onto her as they were already fairly close to one another, and carefully helped her up much in the same way that he had done so to escort her there in the first place. Just then, he thought of an alternative. "Actually, it might be for the best if I carried you the whole way. Will you let me...? If you don't mind the sweat that is." He was ready to, if she said yes, carefully kneel down right in front of her and help her get on his back and carry her towards Big Mac as any self-respecting Beast of Burden could for the sake of another.

((Basically, since you claimed you wanted this, is to have her get on him from her viewpoint until he's practically upright... And yes, he and I are well aware she has a stallionhood if it somehow decides to pop up again.  ))

"Yes, please." She smiles softly. She genuinely was beginning to fall for this stallion. He was kinder than most of her own kind, and he was quite handsome. She was barely winning the battle to keep herself soft, and was still struggling as dirty thoughts flooded into her mind. She took a few deep breaths and imagined someone she hated, one of her kind, who always was trying to woo her, and was obnoxious. It worked, and she stayed soft.

[So sorry for delay, seven hours ago I tried to post, didn't work, apparently.]

Sugary aided Sakura onto his back, and began to make his way over to Big Mac first. While a few near the large stallion were looking a tad wary of Sakura, the big fella kept the same usual passive demeanor he was well known for. "Need somethin'?" asked Big Mac.

"I do, actually. I wanna help Sakura here get her things from the library. Do you think I can claim my wage by the time I get back? Or should we meet elsewhere for it?"

"Hm... What was the pay for again?"

"Delivering all the trees from the other town and escorting some of the workers back and forth on my airship while gathering the supplies here, and spending time as part of the landscaping effort on both terrains. That should be all we agreed on."

"Eeyup... Gonna need time to count the Bits for everyone. Should have your share ready if you're back in a half hour."

"Gotcha. See ya later." And with that, Sugary began to take Sakura through the main part of town and towards the library. Somewhere along the way, he had two thoughts on his mind: Would Sakura be fine later on with her leg? And was the purple mare she spoke of the renowned Princess Sparkle?

"I hope miss Sparkle doesn't ask any more questions...And I hope she didn't look through my stuff..." Sakura sighs and rests her head on his shoulder, her arms locked around his shoulders an he legs around his abdomen. She takes a deep breath, inhaling his scent and blushing as she started to get aroused from the scent of Sugary, though she didn't notice or feel herself starting to slowly harden.

While walking through the main part of Ponyville, it seemed Sakura was right in that she visited often enough by this point in time as most went about their usual mode of business and only a few seem to give them odd or curious glances. "Sparkle...? Princess Sparkle? So she really is in town? Heard she travels much, so I didn't think she'd be here now... This should be interesting... But yeah, best to keep things brief."

For the most part, he was doing well in carrying her as if it were natural to him, only having to adjust when three hyper fillies on a scooter and wagon speed right in front of them and nearly knocked him off balance. When he adjusted, he felt a certain limb on his back he had hoped he would not feel on the way. He said nothing of it for the time being, however, and reached the library, and began to knock on the door...

Sakura sighed softly and braced herself for a tidal wave of notes and questions, then she whispered. "Sorry." As she realized she was harder than she wanted to be. Her face was as green as the eyes of th dragon who answered the door.

"Hello, oh, hey Sakura!" The young drake beamed at her, forgetting Sugary. "I protected your bags, Twilight didn't even get to look at 'em." He seems to finally notice Sugary. "Oh, did you get hurt?"

"Nothing to worry about, just don't tell Miss Sparkle I came back and hurry and get me my bags." She smiles at the drake, who bolts and quickly gets back with a large satchel of a green color, and a baggy dark green hoodie. Sakura slings her bag over her shoulder and hangs her coat over her shoulders. "You still have that..." She trails off, and Spike grins and flashes a seed like a walnut. "Good, Give it to Twilight."

"You can count on me!" He close the door.

"Let's go, quickly." Sakura urges, wanting to get away before Twilight comes after them.

Sugary looked at Spike with a fair amount of interest as he wasn't used to seeing young dragons such as him, or as smart. As fairly curious as he was to know more about the little fella and possibly meeting the young princess, he figured it was best to move on seeing as Sakura was also right about Twilight having been overly inquisitive on her. "Heh... Sure thing. Hang on!" With a light chuckle, he began to walk a little faster back towards the clearing.

Once they were at the clearing, he passed by Big Mac and told him he needed to go elsewhere for the time being before meeting up again for the wage, and kept moving directly towards the airship. It was fairly large for a single occupant, as well as rather unassuming in appearance as it was not given any paint and looked the usual brown of hardwood and metal it was. The only immediately noticeable feature on the outside other than the propellers, was the name Black Mambo on a well crafted plate on both sides. As they went up a ramp with some soil on it that led directly into the side of the ship and past a thick door, the inside would clarify that while the ship was big for a single occupant, much of the space it held in the middle was for cargo as they walked past the main storage room and further towards the front half of the inside where the rooms were.

Like he had said before, the actual rooms were of a modest size with two beds each; Big enough to move in, but hardly luxurious. The room that he led them to was as plain as plain could be, as if it weren't used very often aside from the obvious traces of use from the workers he had escorted. The other room that currently had the door open and had some pictures and portraits, was his.

He then gently let her down so as to help her sit on one of the beds with her stuff, got up and stretched along with a mild sigh from what he considered a long morning and day, and turned his attention to her once more. "Ha~... Well, here we are. There's a small closet over there if you need it aside from the cabinet between the beds... Need anything before I go out for a moment to get my pay? There's a bathroom and a kitchen right next to these rooms."

She smiles lightly. "Hopefully I will be..." She pauses to stand on her good leg, and hops over to the bathroom. "Done by the time you get back, if not, well, no peeking~" She sticks her tongue out playfully and the last thing Sugary sees before she shuts the door with her magic is, her back facing him, her tank top coming off, and she had no bra.

She stripped quickly and turned on the shower after a bit of fiddling with it, then got in under steaming hot water. She was going to clean up and satisfy her little beast as fast as she could, but she would be only five minutes, since she was extremely sensitive.

He blushed lightly when she had began to undress within his view and then begin to shower away in the relatively simple bathroom that only had the shower for barely up to two occupants, toilet, sink, and a mirror aside from a small opaque window with a little curtain that allowed view out of the Starboard(right) of the ship, as well as the basic hygienic products here and there, including a long brush in case of hard to reach places. Other than that was the light source provided by subtle magic from a bulb overhead connected to a series of root-like runic metalwork that ran through the airship within most of its walls, towels, and a small rug just in front of the shower.

Meanwhile, he had gone back out and met up with Big Mac as promised. For several minutes, they would discuss and negotiate, and he would then return with an extra bag of bits and the satisfaction of another job well done and fair pay to keep going. He'd close the door and make his way over to the guest room to try and see if she was done by now or not so as to offer to change the current sheets...

She had left the door open, and was looking through her bags. She had her pants back on but was topless, her tank top next to her, she was on the bed, her long mane covering most of her plentiful bosom, and she pulled a small pouch out of her bag, pulling a few vials out of it, one pink, two blue, befor she set the pouch in her bag, he vials on the dresser, and her bag on the floor. She quickly began to comb her mane with her fingers, a couple petals falling down onto her lap, and then she reached for, and slowly put on her tank top. She got up and set her jacket on her bag, and limped over to the bathroom to check her appearance.

Sugary would just barely notice Sakura make her way to the bathroom when he passed right by. He moved over to her briefly to announce his intentions. "Hey, Sakura? I'm gonna change the sheets in your room. Now remember, if you need something, just ask..."

He'd go to the guest room afterwards and take out the sheets, thought he made absolutely certain to carefully move the vials with levitation and place them over the cabinet in the meantime while he placed the sheets in a small hamper nearby, and then get extra from the storage room. Once he did that, he would make his way over to his room and get a change of clothes of his own as he needed to take a shower as well, and came back to the bathroom to see whether or not she was done while holding his bundled stuff...

She smiled at him. "Thanks, Sugary, hope I am not too much of a burden." She sighs. "My mane sucks sometimes." She mutters. She raked her hand through her mane, more petals falling down. "These petals are so romantic, but I'm all about fun...love comes later." She winks at him. She suddenly frowns and looks at him silently. "Umm...Sugary...Am I...Likable?"

Sugary thought there was an unusual charm in that Sakura shed petals beautifully, even if it wasn't intentional. He didn't overly mind that they fell here or there in this part of the ship. Her last comment left him taken aback and surprised however. "Er... Huh..." Thinking for a moment how to answer, he considered what happened in the time he spent with her. Eventually, he smiled and began to answer as earnestly as he could while still holding his change of clothes. "Well... I'd like to think you are. You try to joke around and flirt a bit. You travel far to do your duty from what I gathered. You helped out with the job we were doing just for the sake of it. And you even got a baby dragon to get along well with you and help you out... I'd like to think you are likable. So far, you've been good company for that matter... But why ask me this all of a sudden?" He suspected it might have something to do with her being a single mare, but said nothing of it for now.

SHe blushed from his comments. "It's just...No one seems to like me in the way I wish they would..." Shes sighs and limps out and slumps onto the bed. "Not one pony has shown sexual interest in me...Or any interest at all besides Twilight, even hen I suppose she wants to dissect me...And I feel a bit Isolated...You are the closest I have had to a...coltfriend? Was that what you ponies called it?" She lays on her back, looking sad and irritated. "I feel like everyone just thinks I am A Freak!" She suddenly shouted, and went limp, staring at the ceiling...

He blushed lightly at being called a coltfriend by her, honestly not expecting that statement from her at all. The way she acted afterwards concerned her however, and so he postponed on taking the shower for now, followed her, set the change of clothes in the other bed, and sit right across her. "Er... First off, coltfriend and marefriend would mean we're seeking to spend time with each other romantically for whatever reason... At least, that's what fully grown mares and stallions try to do with that... Or 'have fun' like you put it... And Princess Twilight's... um... efforts to dissect you aside... What makes you think you're a freak? Don't you get along with anyone back at your home?"

She sighs and rolls onto her back. "At home, even though it's supposed to be a ten percent chance of being born a hermaphrodite, I feel like it is only one percent..." She looks to him silently. "As far as I know, I am the only one...Haven't met any others like that...Here, Everyone stares at me like I'm crazy or a freak..." She grumbles.

Sugary sighs, not really liking where this was going. Sakura had been rather cheery, and it was jarring to see her like this. He began to think that she had even fewer friends than he thought, and was probably venting with him over it. "Sakura, sweetie, listen... Right now, you're here as my guest. I don't think you're a freak. Trust me, I've been around and seen my fair share of oddities and rarities... Think you can relax for a bit with that in mind while I take a shower and then we can talk more calmly? Or would you like me to be here a little while longer?"

She nodded softly, smiling now. "Thanks..." She sat up and scooted over to the pillows and snuggled with one. "Go ahead and shower, I'll wait here." She was feeling better now, but was still thinking about her Isolation. She let a small wisp of magic float out of her mane, a soft, gentle pink n green color mixture, and it seemed to dissipate, but it actually went invisible, she let it out an had ordered it to hide and follow Sugary.
