Aquila and Redik were heading to the pointed direction of where the seamstress lives in hopes of getting their clothes mended. Everypony in front of them is making way for the two humans as they either don't want to get involved with these really frightening creatures that were pounding each other on the plaza (AND FIRING FREAKING FIREBALLS!), or just in a sign of respect or good manners towards the outsiders.
Meanwhile as they are walking, Aquila stares to the burn mark on his robes and is unable to contain his comment about it.
Aquila then says, "Hmm, you just had to use that weird and diabolical black magic didn't you?.... Look at my robes now, they are all burnt because of that."
Redik responds, "Hey! My fireball or neither of my spells for that matter are and I quote, "WEIRD AND DIABOLICAL BLACK MAGIC" Redik said this while using his fingers to express the quotation of Aquila's remark and imitating his voice in a grumpy and very deep way. "Besides.... I -hate- black magic I don't understand why some people assume that just because Red and Black are suppose to be 'Allied' (same gesture but without the voice) colors, we are all alike and friends and stuff."
Aquila only responds to this with a raised eyebrow and says, "There are different colors of......magia? (Magic?)" (feeling really bothered about the word)
Redik then says, "I assume that means magic...Of course there are. Green, which represents life and nature, white, which represents light and order, blue, which represents control and the mind, black, which represents death and decay... (this said with some resentful hate) and, red, of course which represents fury and chaos in all its might! (this said with a very wide grin and
a very prideful look while he closes his eyes and raising his chest)
Aquila right now feels more bothered than he was before, thinking that magic not just exists but it has some kind of weird order and balance to it, and even more weirded out at the fact that Redik was saying it as if it was something so plain and normal that everyone and their grandma should know.
Redik was going to continue speaking when all of a sudden they come to the front of what seems to be a very stylish building.
"This seems to be the place where the sarto (Tailor) lives.....' Aquila says.
"Yeah...... Its very...... stylish?", Redik responds.
Aquila is about to respond when the two of them start hearing voices from the inside.
"Oh come on darling they cant be that bad."
"I'm telling you Rare, one of them almost fried me with what seemed to be a lightening bolt coming out of his fingers and the other pulled out this weird flank blade out of his arm and blocked it in less than 10 seconds flat."
"Surely they didn't mean to hurt you darling, maybe you just startle him and besides his friend saved you. Although the shooting lightning out of his fingers and the other one being armed worries me a little."
"I know right? we should go and check if Twilight is okay, I don't trust them."
"That wont be necessary." The two ponies in the inside gasp as the sudden gruff voice surprised them and seeing the two mentioned humans opening the doors to Rarity's shop.
"OH NO! They have come for us now, what have you done to Twilight!?" says Rainbow Dash.
"Calm down my equine amico (friend), we are not here to hurt any of you, and your unicorn friend is in her house safe and sound, I believe" responded Aquila.
Redik then says, "Yeah! We are here because we need to ask a favor from your friend here, and right now it seems we are also here to apologize to you. So I just want to say I'm really sorry for the lightning and almost...ummm killing you..... maybe.. i don't know, maybe you would have survi- UFF!."
Aquila elbows Redik in the ribs before he can finish and says, "What my hyperactive friend here means to say, is that he is -really- sorry for almost hurting you, and for that matter me too if had scared you back there."
"Oh. See Rainbow? They aren't as bad as they seem, in fact, they appear to be very kind and generous ponies." said Rarity.
"I guess...... okay whatever, I'll forgive you, but I'll still keep and eye on you two." Rainbow said.
"We wouldn't expect less." responded Aquila.
Then out of nowhere a loud gasp was heard. "OH MY CELESTIA! Whats with your clothes?! They look just horrific! What happened?" exclaims Rarity.
"Well we kind of got in some fights here and there and you know, that kind of stuff." said Redik, as he begins to stand up again, his ribs still being sore.
Aquila then said, "We where hoping for you to mend them if you could and we will be out of your-" then he was interrupted by Rarity
"OH no no no no darlings that wont do, these clothes are as good as dead. I'll make new ones for you two. OOOOOO SWEETEEE BEEELLL!" says Rarity.
A little white filly rapidly appears and says, "You called for me Rarity!?"
"Yes Sweetie I need you to help measure this two fine gentle......colts over here so I can make new attires for them." said Rarity.
Sweete Bell stares blankly at the two humans and then snaps out of it when Rarity finishes explaining her request and replies with a big grin, "Right a way sis!" and as rapidly as she came in she darts out of the room.
"No wait, that wont be necessary we just need for you to fix them." replies Aquila.
Rarity replies, "Oh no no no no no darling that wont do! I would rather die before letting somepony walk around town with
those rags, especially if I could have given them something nice to wear."
Aquila starts having mixed fillings about Rarity's comment about his favorite robe most likely his only robe at the moment.
"That's cool and all, but we don't have money to repay you with..." said Redik.
"Don't worry darling, is no problem I'm more than glad to help you, you don't have to pay me and I must say, I just -love- your robe style, is it the trending fashion of where you come from?" said Rarity to Aquila, after replying to Redik.
"Eh? Oh... no no it's just a thing me and some....... amici (friends), wear for our work." said Aquila.
"Well i must say I looks amazing on you, and it has certainly given me some inspiration, thanks." said Rarity
"Your benvenuto (welcome)..... I guess?" replied Aquila.
Sweetie Bell comes back and starts measuring both humans, they stay still, Aquila more than Redik which seems to be somewhat nervous from the little filly measuring every nook and cranny. After Sweetie Bell finished and gave Rarity the measures they start working immediately at an amazing speed.
Aquila, Redik, and Rainbow Dash just sit around looking at the two sisters in their work. Although in Redik's case is more of a stare as he is very focused and amazed on what seems to be Rarity using her magic? For Redik it was very fascinating how this ponies used their horns for what seemed to be some basic types of magic and was wondering if they have some more spells he could learn with their unique way of magic.
After a couple hours of eternal waiting Rarity had finally finished. She then said "Okay Darlings take this a go to the changing room over there."
They take the magicly levitated robes from Rarity and then looking to each other they just shrug their shoulders and do what they were told. After some seconds of waiting the ponies hear two voices scream in unison, "WHAT?!" coming from Redik, and "CHE COSA?!" from Aquila.
Both Aquila and Redik come out of the changing room, The look to each other for a second time. Both of them wearing very neat and stylish assassin brotherhood robes, Aquila's being his usual white with red here and there, and Redik's being the same but with the colors reversed. Basicly making both of them having matching outfits.
Aquila looks over Redik's robes, rubbing his chin pondering and just plain staring.
"What the hell you looking at?!" Redik yelled at Aquila.
"How similar your robe looks to mine..." Aquila replied.
Redik takes another look at both of them. "By the gods we are twins!"
Aquila is just staring at the design of Redik's robe.
Not quite like the normal assassin's robe, but more of a wizard style, the hood covering the eyes, the long sleeves almost covering the hands, the assassin's symbol on the front, a red sash on the waist with pouches for carrying certain small objects, along with white leather boots under the robe. The colors are reversed, the primary one being red and the secondary white.
Aquila's is similar to the one he originally had but with a few additions and changes. The cloak on the shoulder now connecting to his other shoulder over the back and hanging down about half way on his back. Under the cloak, a sheath for any kind of longsword is there, to conceal the weapon rather than having it hang from the side. The belt now has little sheathes weaved into it to conceal throwing knives and darts. The leather boots now being steel toed to pack an extra punch in a kick. The torso in the robe having small pockets concealed within for anything really, maybe just to hold bits where no one can steal them.
"I like the improvements you made to mine very much, but why make Redik's so similar?" Aquila asked after studying both robes.
Rarity replied "Well i thought since you two were the best of friends, I'd make similar outfits for both of you."
Aquila just facepalmed.
Rarity a bit of a look of worry. "What? Do you not like them?"
Aquila shook his head, "No we like them very much, I was just remembering something we needed to do. We thank you for the robes."
Redik nods in agreement. "Yes I rather think this is comfy!"
Rarity nods. "Okay then! I'll see you soon!" She waved goodbye and so did Rainbow as both Aquila and Redik walked out and back into town.
As they walked, Redik actually seemed to be in deep thought about something..."Hey, i was wondering. What is that strange language you speak all the time? It just sounds like gibberish to me."
Aquila turned his head to Redik, "Italian, one of the many languages from my world, Earth. I only speak English due to my many travels to the land of England."
Redik replies, "Huh...how many other languages are there?"
Aquila rubs his chin for a moment, thinking and trying to count them up. "I'd say about 70."
Redik's eyes go wide in shock, "70?! How do you people even talk to each other?!"
Aquila chuckles, "Its a little difficult, but, there are so many of us, one language per group of people tends to work fairly well."
Redik just sighs, "Earth sounds a bit complicated, but interesting too."
Aquila replies, "I may teach you some Italian one day, but then i wouldn't be able to say things behind your back."
Redik nods, "That would be nice bu-. Hey wait a minute!"
Aquila lets out a hearty laugh, "I'm kidding! Idiota ha bisogno di imparare come prendere uno scherzo. (Dumbass needs to learn how to take a joke.)"
Redik sighed even heavier this time, probably frustrated, "UGH, I'm not even going to try anymore."
They both made their way through the streets, them both getting rather used to the awkward stares and whispers. They both reached what appears to be a park, walking through the path ways, Aquila hears what appears to be the sound of hooves rapidly hitting the grass behind them...
Suddenly a green blur smacks into Redik knocking him onto the ground, before he could yell anything, he was bombarded by words. "Oh my Celestia oh my Celestia oh my Celestia!" She says really fast, then bombarded them with more words, mainly questions, "Real life humans! Oh, I read so many things about them! Where do you come from?! How to you stand on two legs?! How do hands work?!"
Aquila just sighs, "Like this." He picks her up and puts her down off of Redik.
She did struggle a bit but didn't seem to mind too much.
Aquila just gives her a disappointed look. "I know your excited for some reason, but please calm down. I recently just gave my friend a beating and surely he is still sore."
As Redik gets up he yells, "Shut up! I was winning!"
The pony looks at both of them, "You were fighting?! Is that some kind of tradition?!"
Aquila shakes his head, "No, Redik just thought his balls were bigger than his brain."
Redik replies "They are!"
Aquila rolls his eyes and returns them to the pony. "Do you have a name?"
She nods and says "Lyra Heartstrings!"
Aquila nods, "I am Aquila Cuore, and my ball and chain here is Redik Dheavan"
They both hear a "Up yours!" in the back round come from Redik as he brushes the dirt off his new robe.
Lyra replies, "Wow! Those are neat names, do they have any special meaning?"
Aquila thinks for a moment, "My name means Eagle Heart in your language, but I'm not sure about Redik."
Lyra just has this infatuated stare at Aquila, "So where are you from?"
Aquila replies to the question with a thoughtful look on his face, "I am from Earth. I have no idea where Redik is from but i imagine it's stupid town."
Lyra tilts her head in confusion, "You mean your not from the same place?"
Aquila nods.
Lyra's eyes go wide and mouth agape, "You mean your both from two different places? How did you get here?!"
Aquila shrugs, "I honestly have no idea, I found myself within an endless void, Redik too, within the immense space beyond earth, a portal appeared after i said a simple phrase and it brought us here."
Lyra just had her mouth open with a silly look on her face as she listened. She then asked when he finished, "May I see your hands? I've always been interested in how they work."
Aquila nods and held out his hands, allowing her to look them over and feel them with her hooves. "What do you find so interesting about hands?"
She finishes and says, "I always thought they were neat how they could grab things with those fingers and just how dexterous they are."
Aquila nods and puts his left arm back under the cloak, and says, "I see, i have noticed those hooves only seem to be good for walking."
Lyra nods, "Yeah, we can only really wrap then around certain things and balance stuff on them. Other than that, yeah just walking."
Redik then says, "At least you have magic n' stuff."
Aquila nods to Redik and returns to Lyra, "Sì, Redik ha davvero bisogno di imparare ad usarlo correttamente però. (Yes, Redik does really need to learn how to properly use it though.)"
Lyra raises a brow, "What?"
Aquila shakes his head, "Sorry, I'm not used to speaking English this often. I was speaking Italian, one of the many languages in my world. Ci sono molti e nessuno di loro sono esattamente uguali. (There are many and none of them are exactly alike.)"
Lyra nods, "That sounds really cool! You'll have to teach me so we can have some sort of secret language and everypony would have no idea what we are saying!" She begins to laugh.
Aquila chuckles, "Someday. Now, me and Redik must return to our business. Can you point us to the location of the Library?"
Lyra nods and points west, "It's down that way. I'll see you later then."
Aquila nods and turns around, "Addio mare buono. (Farewell good mare.)" He said as he walks away, Redik following along.
As they leave the park Redik says, "Well, she was interesting, but nice, I hope to see her soon"
Aquila chuckles, "Finally you start to say something useful"
Redik sighs, "Shut up."
They both now can see the library after a few minutes of walking, and continue on to their destination.
