Shadow Star nodded, agreeing very much.
"Sometimes better than any of one's other fellow beings," he said a bit sadly before he came to think of what he was saying. Then he blushed a little and cleared his throat. "Well, I cannot tell if one can in fact learn to speak squirrel. It would demand you to master the guttural noises and the squeaks required for a real conversation, but it would be difficult to decipher the exact meaning of each chirp." His forehead wrinkled and he stared at Streaks intensely, his voice turning into a hardly audible mumble. "It would, in theory, be possible, I should think. It would require a minute description and observation of each little squeak and bodily movement... hmm..."

MeadowGreen smiled, golden eyes sparkling with a amusement. A gentleman, but a shy one. She decided mentally.
"It does make sense," She said. "but it sounds like it would take a great deal of time and understanding to get it right."
The unicorn considered the other. "Are you a scholar by chance? The way you speak and place the words of your sentences... It gives me the impression you are a very well educated unicorn."

Shadow Star was most pleased to notice someone noticing his scholarly background. Usually others just thought he was being deliberately hard to understand.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I am a scholar of sorts. Self-learned, for the most part, but scholar nevertheless. I specialise in literature and ancient languages." He blushed when he realised that the others might have had difficulty understanding him earlier. "I am sorry if I speak in too refined a way. It's what overmuch of education does, I suppose. I don't mean to be offensive."

The unicorn laughed, lightly and pleasantly.
"Not offensive at all," She said. "And it is alright by me. I did not find it too difficult to understand what you mean. I am use to it, it a way." MeadowGreen smiled. She realised that she was beginning to grow comfortable with her new companions.

Shadow Star smiled and was happy that for once he wasn't looked oddly upon because of his slightly strange way of speaking.
"Well, then," he said to both of the mares, feeling more secure now, "what can I get for you lovely ladies?"

Winterberry listened as the two unicorns were talking. She sighed to herself. They must like each other. She thought to herself. She could feel a tear roll down her cheek as she thought this. She was hoping that Shadow Star would be in love with her, not Meadowgreen. But Winterberry was just an ordinary earth pony, and Meadowgreen was a unicorn. Winterberry slowly closed her eyes.
Then, when Shadow asked what he could get them, the beautiful white mare looked up at him, wiping the tear from her cheek. "Oh, sorry. I was thinking of having the steak." She said, cheering up a bit.

Shadow Star had time enough to notice the tear before Winterberry wiped it away, and he became very concerned about her. He couldn't tell what it was that had upset her, but he was afraid it was somehow his fault. He never meant to be rude to anyone, but sometimes, sadly, he knew he still appeared so when he became so engrossed with some idea that he simply couldn't let it go from his mind.
He tried to make up for his possible error by smiling to the mare in a friendly manner.

MeadowGreen looked at Winterberry; it didn't take her much to notice that the other was feeling down about something; the unicorn could have a guess... For some reason though, she felt it she was at fault. Maybe I was being a bit too friendly with him... She thought. She felt like withdrawing from any futher converstaion, but she had the thought that the stallion would get suspicious; he was afterall, a smart fellow, and good-looking too... "For me, I'll just have the salad and some bread..." She said with a half smile. ((I've decided that she is a vegetarian, but still will eat cheese. No eggs though... Afterall, she is the daughter of a spring goddess.))

Shadow Star nodded to acknowledge the orders and smiled to the mares. He really liked the both of them.
"I'll go see if I can get those for you," he said and stood up, to go look for someone in the inn who would take their orders.

Winterberry smiled back at Shadow. She could feel herself get a little bit angry at the way Meadowgreen was talking to the unicorn stallion. She decided to ignore it.
She noticed Shadow left them. She turned to the green unicorn. "Well, um, so, do you play music often?" She asked her.

(OOC: meep...got busy for a bit there)
Ambrosia finally responded to Xin, after a thoughtful pause. "There is a tower...The Obsidian Tower, nestled in the farthest corner of the Northlands. My mother, the Shadow Mage Aedmeinar, lives there. I lived there too for a short time...and then we were in Dream Valley for awhile. When I got older, I went to the Darklands, but that is too strange a place even for me."

Shadow Star started looking for a waitress, when he nearly bumped into one and smiled apologetically. He gave her their orders - he decided upon a light meal himself - and then returned to the table. He had been gone for only a moment, so he heard Winterberry's question. He was quite curious to hear the answer himself, so he seated himself quietly, waiting for her reply.

The green unicorn smiled when Winterberry asked her the question; she was relieved that the other wasn't too upset and was still willing to speak to her.
"All the time," She answered. "Playing music is what I mostly do for a living; it has always been a part of my life."
