As he feels her hoof brush against him a sly smile appears
across his face, turning to meet her eyes. "Well, if you
insist... I could always use another client." He grabs a bottle
and a baggy from his pocket, quickly checking to make sure it's
the right amount, "As much as I'd love to take you up on your
offer, I'd have to make Tinder here jealous.. for now it'll have
to be cash, maybe we can meet up another time though." He holds
the baggy out to Niv, and dangles the bottle in front of Tinders
face, snatching it away from her as she goes to grab it. "Money
first, then you can get your treat.."

Nonchalantly she reaches into her bag and pulls out a hefty
pouch. Giving it a good shake, she levitates it over to the
stallion, "This should cover it. If your stuff is as good as I
hear, we'll be talking really soon." The mare looks over to
Tinder and places her hoof on her shoulder as she waits for the
transaction to continue.

He takes the pouch as it's held out to him, opening it and
giving a quick glance at the contents. "Yeah, this'll cover it."
He drops the bottle into Tinders waiting hoof, smirking as he
watches her squirrel it away into her bag. "Don't take them all
at once, I'd hate to loose you.." His voice dripping with
sarcastic venom. "And don't worry, Tinder. We'll get to have our
fun later."
Tinder nods a few times, afraid to speak. She doesn't want to
say the wrong thing, she knows if she does then later will be
even worse. She wishes she could tell Niv she never resorted to
those means to get her pills, but she can't lie anymore. Tinder
glances to Niv, a weak smile crossing her face, she can't be
here any longer..

With the deal done, Nivalia turns back to Tinder. She places a
reassuring hoof on her shoulder. "C'mon sweetie, let's go." She
leads her out and back onto the main paths. The night was
silent, besides the few crickets out singing. Niv let's go of
Tinder as she resumes walking. "Thank you, Tinder. I... know
that wasn't pleasant. But the hard part is done. Now, tonight?
Everything changes. You were really brave."

Tinder leans into Niv as they start to walk away, so many
thoughts racing through her mind, so many memories of the nights
she spent around here.. She usually tries to forget this stuff,
but with everything going on it's all she can think of, the time
with him, with his buddies.. As Niv let's her go Tinder moves
closer to her, she needs to know she's there. "What if bad
things happen after the change? The hard parts not done, it gets
so much worse soon. I can't stop taking them or it'll get bad,
fast."

Nivalia nods, understanding the concern Tinder has about their
situation. "Don't fret. By the time you get low on your current
amount, I'll have a solution. For now, we just goo by or day to
day. If... you ever feel as though you're in danger, you can
always stay at my place. Or at least the shop if it comes down
to it." She looks up towards the sky, "I'll need one of those
pills, Tinder. Actually, half of one would work."

Tinder looks to Niv, the fear of all this showing on her face,
"I don't think I can go home right now.. what if he comes back
for more payment?" She takes the bottle of pills and hands it to
Niv, letting her take what she needs. "Can I go back to work
now? I need to finish up... Am I allowed even though I didn't
get my physical?"

"Yes, Tinder. You are cleared for work. Just take things easy,
honey. Let's get back to the shop." The stroll back to the
Herbiary was a quiet one. Nivalia keeps to her word and takes
half of a pill. She just needs to get one reading of it beefier
she can continue. Business resumes, staff and customers unaware
of their travels today. "Get settled in and just do a basic
patrol today. I'm going to be in the laboratory." She looks over
to her friend and hugs her. "If you need anything, just tell me.
We're in this together, ok?"

Tinder keeps silent for the rest of the way back, her ears on a
constant swivel. As they arrive back to the shop she wants to
start working almost immediately, she needs to get her mind off
of all this. "Yeah, together.." She gives Niv a light hug before
letting her go to work, wishing she could make this all go away.
Tinder makes sure Niv is in the lab before starting to do the
more straining parts of her job, she know's she's supposed to
take it easy but there is so much to do. She's not relaxing just
because of an injury, that's not who she is.

Nivalia enters her lab and places her bag onto the table. The
whole exchange went better than she expected; like Tinder said,
now the hard part begins. She still has to make a call to
Sergeant Mazur, get some more patrols along their usual routes.
The day was long though, and the night ahead didn't look any
different. Rummaging through her satchel, she pulls out the half
pill and places it in a grinder. In seconds it ends up into a
thin powder. A portion of the powder levitates into an empty
petri dish. 'Alright, just have to find out the components and
go from there. It shouldn't be too difficult... hopefully.' Into
the long hours, long after everyone has left; Nivalia's mind
still keeps her awake. No one should have to go through what she
saw. Bit by bit, things started to piece together.
