//------------------------------// // Idle Gossip // Story: Ponytale // by Dragonfire2lm //------------------------------// Frisk started to ask around town for opinions on the situation. Their conversation with a donkey was interrupted when said donkey spotted something behind Frisk and hastily excused himself. Frisk watched the creature dart off, they felt confused and turned around to see Lora walking up the street with a large white wolf strolling beside her. Frisk ran over to greet them and was immediately tackled by the ball of fluff that was Chibi. Lora introduced the wolf as Ammy, Chibi's mother and explained that Ammy had come to negotiate a peace treaty with the locals of Stonedin. Frisk shook Ammy's paw as the wolf revealed that the misunderstanding between the Diamond Dogs and the inhabitants of Stonedin was due to her disappearance, she had wanted to raise Chibi away from the conflict the pack was going through at the time. Frisk nodded and hummed in understanding. They offered to escort the two canines around town and looked around to find someone to introduce them to- But there wasn't a single being on the streets, except for the four of them. Lora sighed said this was mostly her fault, they were afraid of her. The dragon sagged slightly and drawled that if Frisk spread a rumour of Ammy chasing her away it might kickstart negotiations. Chibi tilted his head to the side in confusion and Ammy pointed that it would give everyone the idea that Lora was a villain. The dragoness just sighed and said there wasn't much else that could be done about that. Frisk tugged on her robe and asked if they could help. Reluctantly Lora admitted that they were welcome to try. Frisk started by guiding Lora around town while Ammy went off to sort out a peace treaty. The dragon perked up at the mention of a library but it was hard to tell due to the hood she constantly had up hiding most of her face. The pair wandered around for some time and Frisk bought some snacks from a small shop next to the Inn, the pony at the counter seemed fine, as long as Lora waited outside.
