Sometimes, we meet new friends in the strangest of places. A bar, a park, the wilderness, or a battlefield under siege by an angry druid with access to ancient golems. Steel seems to meet ponies in situations similar to the latter.
 
Auxois, an alicorn mutant, survivor from the Goddess’ Army, and currently serving as a mercenary, was one such friend he got to meet. They were meeting up for a date in one of Cirrus’ markets when this little exchange happened. From afar, just a nice hug between friends. Between these two, a promise of what would be available if the date went well.
 
Poor Steel’s rarely under this kind of pressure.
