Brent actually had a fairly good day at work that day. It felt fast though, when he arrived home he found Flurry sitting outside his house. She must still be avoiding Cadence. He thought. "I should get you a key if your going to make a habit of coming here. Discord can just pop in if he wants to hang out, you however are stuck out here."
He unlocked and walked into his house Flurry close behind, he decided to make use of his speaker. Which he had modified to be Bluetooth capable and started playing some music.
He also once again tried making the battery, and it stuck he hooked it up to the panels and made a cord for the speaker and an extra to plug his phone into. The speaker was normally powered by magic but he hadn't wanted to try doing it with his own, so another modification he had made was for it to use electricity.
"Well, that's neat." Flurry said. "Why didn't you do that sooner?"
"Well, I had tried a few times, but it didn't stick till this time, and with the mess the last few days had been didn't really have the time." While he was thinking about making things Brent went ahead and copied his key and gave the copy to Flurry.
She popped it off to somewhere she could easily bring it back if needed. "So what to do?"
Brent shrugged. "hang out?" He pulled a book off the shelf and sat on the couch Flurry did the same.
They read as the music played having a rather quiet evening. Brent thoroughly enjoyed the peacefulness while having Flurry around.
The fact he was growing attached to Flurry scared and made him happy at the same time. He was growing more comfortable with the prospect of contact continuing to forcefully adapt his nature.
They read till both began noticing their hunger.
"So in the mood for anything in particular?" He asked as he headed for the kitchen wanting to experiment with the spices and herbs he had just gotten today.
"Uh not really anything would work for me." Flurry replied really just curious what he would make.
"Alright then." Brent said pulling out the things he needed he would make pasta with a white sauce and a pork chop for himself. Vaguely remembering the things mom had taught him. He got to work 20 minutes later the meal was ready he brought the plates to the coffee table and went to get some cups of water. He was intensely against alcohol after his father.
"Now it's much simpler than anything at the castle."
"It's quite alright I actually rather like the overall simplicity of things with you. Very upfront unlike some things I deal with." Flurry replied.
The meal was rather quiet after that. Just enjoying each other's company as they had been for a while. After they both finished Brent got up to do dishes Flurry stopped him. "Let me, I should help if i'm going to be around here more." She pulled the dishes from his hands with her magic and trotted into the kitchen.
Brent just watched her go then sat down and listened to her and the music. Closing his eyes to immerse in the sounds till he caught himself falling asleep. "Still have An hour before a logical point to go to sleep mate!" He said to himself as he slapped his face to try and wake up.
He left a mark which Flurry noticed on coming back into the living room. "What happened?"
"Oh just trying to wake myself up." he ended up slightly sniffing her as she walked by. "Think we could both use a shower, you want to go first?" He asked. She didn't really smell bad it was just a strong odor.
"Sure.” Flurry replied as she went down the hall, glancing back at him with a look he couldn't really understand.
"While not as confusing as I had expected relationship's are still weird, furthermore when thinking about one with a different species." He waited on Flurry to finish pulling out the spare bedding from his twin bed expecting she would rather sleep on the couch then with him again.
When suddenly. He was hugged by a still damp Flurry from behind, he could feel her wings flapping to keep her at the height she was. "Despite your seemingly hostile exterior you seem to be rather caring." She said.
"I'm a guard dog in nature, once someone gets me to care for them ill do my best to protect and care for them." He said in a monotone, not exactly understanding why she said that.
He turned himself around in place. "Well you seem to be done with the shower guess I’ll take mine." He said while looking at her.
She sighed and lightly kissed him on the lips then moved.
Brent just went to his room got some clothes would sleep dressed since he had a guest then got in the shower. was rather quiet now, felt like the house itself was prepping to sleep.
When Brent came out the shower and went to his room he found Flurry curled up having managed to wrap herself up in his quilt, he flicked the light and went to lay on the couch grabbing his headphones first put Halo CE on and tried to sleep
He woke up to Flurry looking at him rather close to his face. "I was expecting you would lay down with me." She said sounding a little disappointed.
"Well I'm not going to invade a sleeping woman's space or mare to be more appropriate." He said as he sat himself up. "Plus you seemed rather peaceful."
What do I do to get my point through to him? He clearly realize I intend to be here a lot more but besides that. Flurry thought.
Brent had gotten up to do his morning routine "You realize it's the weekend right?" Flurry asked him.
"Yes I do and I don't see what that has to do with my routine.”
"Well you've grabbed your work vest for starters."
Brent blinked realized what he was doing and put his vest down."I’m just rather out of sync it would seem." Brent said coming back to the couch.
When he had Gotten comfortable Flurry flopped her head on his leg and he started petting her his hand sinking into the fluff that was her mane.
"So are you going to do anything other than work and come back here in the evenings?" Flurry abruptly asked.
"Might start hiking the mountains you have around here or if I can figure out the portals travel. Not comfortable teleporting somewhere unknown, Not till I smooth the landing at least, could ask Discord for help with the portals later."
This reply really surprised Flurry. "Never saw you as the traveling type seem like a homebody."
"Well I don't have the internet to learn about the world with anymore and books only go so far, so in order to fully sate my curiosity about a place is to actually go there. And with my pool of energy, there is no way I’m traveling via normal means."
