The Multi-Dimensional OC Bar

After a few moments, door opens again and Arianwyn steps inside. "A cup of tea, please." she says. She then turns around, noticing Storm, Ician and Harmony. "Oh, you guys are still here!" she says and sits down next to them.

"Ah, Arianwyn. Welcome back." Ician indicates a free seat at the table. "Come, sit down. And yes, I do think we are in the same universe. The lake was frozen over."

"Neato" she says as the tea arrives. Arianwyn proceeds to drink the tea.

"So," Ician asks curiously, "what have you been doing while you were gone?"

"Shopping. Got myself a new scarf!" She says, slightly proudly. "Also a few tens of kilograms of hay for Frost."

"Ah." Ician nods. "I see."

"Frost?" Harmony questions. "Who's Frost?"

"My oversized frost-breathing companion." Arianwyn answers and giggles.

"Frost... breathing..."

"Her dragon." Ician explains.

"Ah." Harmony nods. "... Wait, that only raises more questions. How do you have a dragon as a companion?"

"Long story." Arianwyn answers.

"Okay..." Harmony blinks.

"So..." Ician pauses. "How's life?"

Arianwyn facehoofs and giggles at Ician's overused question. "You really need to improve your conversational skills, Ician.."

"...and so should I.." she whispers to herself.

Ician rolls his eyes. "Fine, fine. Eventually."

Arianwyn sips her tea "....I love this tea..." She then turns to Ician. "So, anyone new appeared here or anything interesting happened?"

"Nothing really interesting, except..." He hesitates. "A small incident. There were a few new people around, though."

"I'm listening." Arianwyn says and leans on the table, staring at Ician.

"Hm, let's see." Ician taps his hoof to his chin. "Sky Cog, Crescendo, Harmony's coltfriend, Paladin; and Th..." He hesitates. "... I mean, an unnamed changeling."

"Anything special about any of them or just common folk? I mean, apart from the changeling." Arianwyn asked curiously. "Also, what kind of incident?"

"No, no, not an accident, just an... incident." Ician inhales sharply. "Um, let's see... Sky Cog owned an airship, Crescendo... well, I don't know very much about him really. And Harmony's coltfriend, Paladin... well, he's Harmony's coltfriend."

"And he's so dreamy." Harmony swoons.

"Right. And also a Royal Guard." Ician finishes.

"Interesting. Oh well." she sips her tea. "What incident?" she asks.

"Oh." Ician squirms uneasily. "Erm, well, about that..."

"It's a sensitive thing." Harmony says. "To cut a long story short, we almost had a fight in the bar. Divine got all aggressive with the changeling who came in here but refused to say her name."

"Oh, okay." She says, and continues sipping her tea. "...anything else or...?"

"That's it in a nutshell, really." Harmony explains. "They calmed down a little later, apologised, and headed their separate ways." She gestures to Divine. "You can ask her about it when she wakes up."

"I'll see about it." Arianwyn continued sipping her tea in silence.

"So..." Ician looks around the room. "Um... wonderful... weather we're having...?"

Arianwyn looked at the door she entered from and remembered having a snowstorm. "...yeah, yeah it is."
