"...okay. That is little odd."

He looks up at Pear, smiling a little.

"Well, you did say you wanted to be able to talk with cultist."

She smiles back, though it’s awkward more than mischievous.

Amber shakes her head as if the odd creature was just a mirage. Don't those wings get cold?
In any case, she trots back to High Sewn with a pensive expression on her face. "Is there anything else that can be done?"

She smiles looking up at him, and then looks back down at the two griffins.

She doesn’t say anything, but moves her left hoof up, and waves it up and down to Amber.

He smiles and blushes for just a second.

"Heh."

He quickly recovers, turns to the female griffon, and gives her a firm shake on the shoulder.

"Wake up."

Amber walks over the that area, not many blocks away, and finds the restaraunt. They are open, but - unsurprisingly - have no greeter at the door.

She is shaken a couple times. Then her eyes come open, two purple spheres.

Amber walks in, and after going only slightly further back into the restaurant, sees Salt Mixer behind the bar. While her most distinct feature is obscured behind hardwood, her dark grey coat and comparatively square muzzle are unmistakable.

“Hello. You’re back” she says, when Amber approaches

>>138138
The female looks at Silver.
“There is nothing to say” - are her first words to him, in some sort of foreign accent that is not easily placed, but evidently from the northern portion of the Griffonian continent.

And thus Amber begins her role as a greeter At least I think that's what she signed up for. Salt Mixer walks out to show Amber where to stand, how to communicate with wait staff, gives advice on who to reject, how to respond, and so forth.

"I am not certain you are in position to be asking questions, but very well, I will indulge you. My partner is expert on occult, religion, and language. She does not get many opportunities to study Maarism, she requested to come and study this place."

He sits down in front of the griffon.

"Now, explain yourself."

"I came here from Cloudbury 1008, when Kerenskai's government was teetering. All the money I had saved was gone not long after arrival. I lived in a dingy and crowded apartment at first. I did not speak the language. There were not so many jobs as advertised. I thought I got lucky after two weeks, starting a job as a seamstress in a factory. But the pay, which would have been high for Cloudbury, did not cover so much more than expenses. The hours were long, ten hours or more a day, and six days sometimes. A roommate left with my possessions, and ponies in gangs would be harsh in collecting any debts. Then after five months my claw slipped and was cut by a machine. I was out of work for more than a week, my claw was swollen and in pain for a month after that. I went back to work at the factory but was fired not long after, either for the mistake or my slow pace with a swollen claw. After that I was unemployed, and finally found work as a maid. But the maid work, though fine on its own was part time and intermittent. I could not earn much. I had to move several times. I did not have friends or family. I thought I would return to Cloudbury when The War broke out, but then I was afraid to travel and besides there were rumors wages would go up. Then I found the Society."
