[There's been a new face around today, for what could be seen of him considering the mask and cloak he wore. After arriving he had spent a great deal of time looking around and getting used to walking on four legs; the wings, which at the moment were underneath the cloak, would wait until later.

He had also done a little poking around with the scroll, and watching other ponies go about their business. And at the end of the exploration, all he really had was one question, so he opened up the scroll to ask.]

I get that magic can do a lot of things. But how exactly do horses build things without fingers?

[Inquiring minds want to know.]

[He nodded decisively.]

I'll be sure to do that. Wouldn't want to be caught unawares.

...You sound like you're used to things going wrong.

[Not a bad thing. They could always use more ponies able to hit things.]

[visual]

[scattered_rose]

You could say that. I learned to stay on my guard and how to fight when you need to. In my line of work if you don't fight and fight well, you don't live.

One of those types, huh? You'll be fine here. We've got a dojo in the Night Market if you want somepony to train with to get used to your body.

[scattered_rose]

Yeahh, that'd be great. For one thing, it'd be nice to figure out how to use my weapons when I can't... use my weapons.

[foolish_seal]

Week or so of training and you'll be fine. What do you use?

[visual]

[scattered_rose]

I use these. [From his things he brought with him he produced a pair of gauntlet-like items, which was a little more doing than it should've taken. He'll get used to the hooves eventually.]

I could wear them as-is I guess, but they've got blades in them that kinda need hands to extend.

You want Gwen. She's the one at the dojo that specializes in unarmed fighting. I can help a bit, too, if you want to learn to use your wings in combat.

[visual]

[scattered_rose]

[He nodded.] Both of those sound pretty good. I'd like to get as much done as I can.

[foolish_seal]

I've got some spare time now, if you want to get right into it.

[visual]

[scattered_rose]

I'd like to get settled in first, but I'd love to do something afterward.

[visual]

[foolish_seal]

Gotcha. You know how to call others on the scrolls, right? Call me whenever.

Name's Minato, by the way.

[scattered_rose]

Yeah, I think I've got the hang of it.

I'm Daniel.

[visual]

[foolish_seal]

Right. From the looks of things, I'll be seeing you around a lot. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Friendship's the name of the game, here.

[visual]

[scattered_rose]

Got it. Thanks a lot for your help already, hopefully everything'll come in handy.
