Relaxing at the Dam

"Yes, yes I am," Intel said, his voice getting excited, "I just need more information. Icarus, are you currently busy at the moment?"

Icarus shrugged. "I-I w-was gonna h-head home..."

Intel smiled. "Have you ever been to the Ponyville library?"

Icarus shook his head. "N-Not yet... W-Wanted t-to get s-situated f-first..." He admitted, brushing his mane out of his eyes.

"Well, this is your...uh, fourth day here? I think it's time you saw it," Intel decided.

"Lucky for us, it's close, so we can wait there till the rain passes. And the librarian is a wonderful mare. When she isn't angry at you. Or experiencing an OCD induced breakdown. Or both." Intel shivered again, and not because of the rain.

"I need to do some reseach on clouds. Then maybe talk to a pegasus pony about weather controlling. Do you know any pegasi around here that well, Icarus?"

Icarus smiled weakly. "J-Just one, a-and s-she didn't s-seem much t-the weather t-type..." He admitted, smiling weakly.

Whether it was because of a repressed memory, alcohol, or simply plain forgetting, Intel completely failed to connect 'pegasus that Icarus knows' to 'pegasus he complete blew up in the face of'.

"Well, maybe she knows others who do," he said, blissfully ignorant, "Who is this lady pegasus?"

Icarus coughed. "... N-Night F-Flare." He said, looking embarrassed.

"Night Flare, good! So we can talk to Ni..."

Intel's brain finally caught up with his mouth. His eyes widened. "Wasn't that the mare that went drinking with us on that night, and I got mad at her, and it kind of went downhill from there?"

Icarus nodded. "K-Kinda... S-She's a-appologizing, t-though!" He said, remembering the conversation he had at the spa.

"Well, okay, I guess," Intel mumbled.

Though if she decides to go all preachy and use her fancy philosophy in her apology, I don't know how I'll take it...

"Oh, look!" Intel said with much more excitement. "We're here!"
