Casual Snack [Open]

Quill took a quick look outside the window of Sugarcube Corner, looking at the rain. He had no intention of going out there, for he had got his cake, seventeen slices of it, and Alicorn Journey Volume 2, a book he had been waiting to get his hoofs for a long time.
Sitting down, Quill began munching on his cake and reading his book, both at an alarming rate. This was one of the few days that Quill may get a bit of peace. Then again, the odds are probably not in his favor.

Cyan Heart ran into the shop and slowly slid across the floor. She didn't expect the floor to be so squeaky clean, after all. She slid into a table and caught it quickly, before it met it's fate. After receiving some odd looks and giggles from the other ponies, she giggled herself and looked around. She noticed the book that Quill was holding.

Intrigued with the book, she walked over and tried to start a conversation. "Errr... Hello!" She cheerfully greeted. Now, she realized what the books title was, but pretended that she hadn't seen it. "Um... whatcha readin?" She tried to casually ask, feeling that it was obvious what her attention was on.

Cyan was drenched from the storm outside and wanted to dry off for now. Her mane drooped as low as it could, so she avoided shaking herself, afraid the water would go everywhere. 'I haven't met you before, what's your name? I'm Cyan!" She quickly added another question. She decided that the book wasn't as important as the pony reading it. Guilt filled her more when she realized what she did wrong.

Quill had a slight moment of irritation , for he hated to be pulled out of reading, especially due to the engrossing book. Quill quickly decided not to dwell on those feelings, for he had only been in Ponyville for only a week, he figured he should socialize. Shutting the book and cleaning his face of cake crumbs.

"Oh, I'm Quill." he spoke as his eye meandered across her wet mane, to her nose, than to her broken horn, which he quickly diverted from, knowing it was not kind to judge others. "I've only been here for a week, so it's natural you haven't seen me yet." Quills eyes darted, and landed on the fourteen empty plates and the five that had slices of cake on them. He quickly lifted the dirty ones behind him with magic, giving a smile and blushing.

Through his teeth he said, "A friend was supposed to meet me here," squirming to find an excuse for the cake, "but they got sick... Uhh... wanna have a seat?" He said with a slight tremble in his voice, trying to find a way to change the topic.

Cyan sat down as she noticed his quick glance toward her horn and figured he wasn't going to ask about, that's what nice ponies did, after all. She sat down on the other side of the table and giggled when he took the plates away from her sight. She frowned at the news of a sick friend.

"Awww... I hope he or she gets batter..." She spoke softly and looked at the cake. "Ohhh! Cake! I like Pie more, though. But still! CAKE!" She started to smile, but the smile quickly faded. She took a small, clear, cough and started to look towards the book. "I see you like cake and reading, correct? I do, too. But, I don't think you want to talk about that..."

Cyan was trying to make the random visit seem less odd. However, she noticed that being drenched, running over to the table, and cheering happily wasn't helping the situation at all. "Only your first week? Well, it's better than nothing! I hope you're liking Ponyville." She greeted.

Chuckling Quill says, "No need to try and make things less awkward, I've been in far more awkward situations than this." After a quick bite of cake Quill responds to her question, "I do like Ponyville, its different than Canterlot, more," Quill had to pause and thing for a while to find the word, "Laid-back." Quickly scarfing down more cake quill musters out,"O hand the book, its The Alicorn Journey, Volume two!" He pronounced happily. "How long have you been here?"

"I've only been here for about a month." She pauses and takes a small smile at Quill before it fades. "Alicorns, huh? I wonder how it would to be one. Hmm...," She started to think for something more to say and continued. "Probably tough and annoying." She commented.

Cyan looked to Quill, then to the cake. "Wow... You've been eating ALL this by yourself? That's one powerful stomach you have there." She started to state and turned her attention to the slinky's around her legs. She took them off and started to roll them from hoof to hoof.

"Well, I've had some small times here in Ponyville for my past time. But, I'd like some more excitement, but, nah..." She debated with herself real quick. "Careful what you wish for, you might get it."

Quill glanced at the cake and blushed, he had to get is eating habits under control.
"So, not very exciting, eh?" a mischievous smile spread across Quills face. "Say, how about we swing by the tavern, get something to drink, yah know, some Hard Cider or something... Like two friends hanging out." Quill glanced at the cake and blushed, he had to get is eating habits under control. "As you said be careful what you wish for," Quill chuckled, "because you might have just gotten it. Meet me at the Tavern sometime."

Cyan winced at his offer. She knew how badly that stuff got ahold of a ponies mind, making them a laughing stalk. Also, with the threat of being used when she had no control over herself, was this what he was wanting? He did have that rather evil smile like from the comic books. She knew the troubles and headaches she'd receive.

Cyan gave him a rather nervous smile. Khaz had told her quiet bluntly, NO. "M-maybe...," She began, trying to think up an excuse or something. "Uh... It'd be fun to... go there, sometime..." She struggled to hide the worry that had consumed her.

Cyan started to debate. Maybe she could just go, but, not drink anything. "Yeah. Let's go sometime." She decided to state quickly. She took another glare at the cake then her stomach rumbled quietly and she started to put a fake smile back on. "Must be tasty cake, huh?"
