A New Home

As the moon begins it's rise over the horizon, an exhausted Pegasus finishes his long flight, landing in an exhausted pile by the train station, noticing that his previous train hasn't made it in yet. As he lies on his back, wings sprawled out gulping in the cool refreshing air, he absently realizes that this was to be his first real home since leaving his hometown years back. He soon begins looking around for another pony in the presently empty area surrounding the train station.

"Hello?"
My questions cuts through the dull uproar that is the crickets chirping, and birds flying to their nests in the trees so as to wait out the cold night. 'Well, at least I out flew the train! Thats a great way to start off my time in a new place'
Where is anypony anyways?
My confusion over the lack of ponies outside came to me as I realized over the excitement and comfort brought from a long flight, I was shivering like crazy, it was freezing out!

A Dark yellow pony slowly walked into the station. He looked around, to find only one other pony. "Heh, i see yer speakin to yerself? Well, I am no point dexter, but i reckon you might have gone wrong in the noggin." The dark yellow pony said in a western accent. "My name is comical, and i dont really talk like that." Comical said. "Mind me asking where your going?"

Oh! Hello! Sorry I was a tad confused as to why no other ponies were here, then I realized that it was A. Night, and B. Cold.
'Oh I do hope I'm not coming off as rambling....' The green Pegasus thought as he shivered once more. He thought for about a second before continuing, the cold breeze making the decision for him.
"My name is Emeraldain, I'm from Quarria! Well...Sort of...Anyways right now I'm simply looking for an inn or place I could hunker down for the night! It took longer then expected to get here, and I don't want to start looking for a home in the dark..."
The pony mentally facepalmed before shrugging off his feeling of shyness, he didn't want to give off the first impression of being a strange mumbling pegasus.
"Could you help me out by any chance Mr...."

Kid hadn't noticed how late it had become while eating with Fireseeker at the Sugar-Cube Corner. He couldn't see very much at all, and it was too late to go apply for a job anywhere! Kid decided to keep walking through the town, as he was doing so he noticed the familiar outline of the train station. Might as well see if there wasn't someplace he could snooze there till morning came!

As he was walking up onto the platform he over heard some voices. Thinking that maybe they would know a place better than a train station to sleep at, he started trotting over towards them. Mixed with hope that they will help him and hope they won't call the guards!

"Hello?" Kid called out as he squinted, making out the outlines of a pegasus and an earthpony. He briefly thought over as what to say next, not knowing whether to just simply ask them or to try and strike up a conversation first.

'What's this?' The pegasus turned around and noticed the young foal staring at a distance that could be taken as not close enough to be friendly but also not far enough as to be simply passing by. He then noticed the dirt in the foal's black coat and the hardened gaze his eyes brought. Noticing the foal seemed to be moving to leave after waiting for a response, the pegasus quickly stumbled over a greeting

"Don't go! Here come closer, so I can shake your hoof. I am Emeraldain, at your service. And this is Comical, I don't know if you two have met or not, I am new here to this quaint town, and was just looking for a place to spend the night."

Kid started to trot over to where Emerald and Comical were at. Half unsure if he could really trust the ponies, but for the most part continued on as he figured the voice sounded fairly friendly.

"I guess we already have something in common, emerald! We're both strangers in a new town!" Kid smiled as slowed down to a walk when he was close. "I was honestly hoping you two could help me out with finding a place to sleep!"

Kid stop and sat down, giving the two a cheerful look, till he looked down and noticed how filthy he was.

"Urgh..." Kid scrunched his face at his coat which looked almost completely soot black from dirt. "And maybe a place to get cleaned up too..."

"a place to sleep huh?" comical chuckled. " if that's what your looking for then you came to the wrong pony." He held out his hoof to the foal. "comical. I could also be of assistance, not much though, I'm only a comedian." comical squinted and saw how dirty the small pony was. "as for a bath, I would try the river. Besides that, I got nothing."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Comical." Kid smiled as he shook Comical's hoof. "And since it seems we're all in a jam, we might as well try and help each other out.

Kid was trying his best not to let either pony know how much being this dirty bothered him. Yet he also didn't want to bathe in the river, that could be the town's main source of water for all he knew.
