[PRP] ??? [Vapor Breeze, Flurry]

[SSBrosB]

Vapor could feel his tummy grumbling as he wandered around the town that he had found himself in, trying to find some food. If there was one thing that made it hard for a little foal like himself, it was the inability to get a job, receive payment, and then use that payment for food. So when he had to go and get some, which was of course every day, he had to beg, steal, or try to see if he could get some bits by doing odd jobs for ponies. He would have been fine with a small payment and a steady job since he had gotten used to sleeping outside, but hadn't found any as of yet.

Which was why he was wandering around at this point, trying to see what he could do to get something in his stomach. There were plenty of stalls with food, but he was all out of bits. Which meant that he couldn't pay for them. Perhaps he could try to swipe a fruit or a vegetable here or there. No one would notice just one going missing right? ...

Flurry was used to the missions to the market, even if her mother Sweet was a bit adamant with letting her go alone. It had took a ton of begging and pleading for a few days for the unicorn to finally cave, and Flurry was walking on air.
Bags strapped to her sides carried a bundle of apples, something Sweet had been hankering for and they'd been out of, plus they would be light enough for the little blue cat to carry on her own without help..... or so she'd believed.
One bad trip later and she was running back and forth trying to pick up the loose apples, though the travel of other ponies made it a little more difficult then she would've liked.
"Oof, watch your hooves please!" She called out as she scooped one from underfoot of a rather large stallion, grinning politely and quickly stuffing it in her bags. She would have to count, but she was about 70% sure she had all of them now..... she hoped.

Fortune had smiled upon him! A foal had been wandering around carrying some apples and a stallion had managed to run into her. The result had caused the apples to tumble out of the bags that she was carrying and Vapor had managed to swipe one. Of course he felt bad doing so, and if he were to get any bits while he was still in town, he would make sure to pay the foal for what he had taken.

But that was later, and this was now, and so he could eat the apple, after all the foal looked like she was on her merry way...

Something was telling him not to do it though. He would have felt fine stealing from a stall with a bunch of wares where it would be harder to count and the one running the stall was an adult, but this was a fellow foal! She was like him, and if she was missing any of her apples, that would mean she was in for a hard time.

He sighed, turned around and ran to catch up with the foal. "Wait, wait!" He said, before stopping in front of her and holding the apple he had taken with one of his wings. "It looks like you missed one!"

 

[ChexaRain]

The call from an unfamiliar voice had Flurry stopping in her tracks, and she turned to see the offered apple.
"Oh.... thank you so much!" She squeaked, quickly taking the apple and stuffing it away into the quite overloaded bags. She had to admit, the lot of them looked rather tasty, and she had been peculiarly picky about choosing the right ones.
It would be only a second later that her stomach would grumble, and she laughed out loud, embarrassed for herself. "...Welp, guess that means it's time to snack. Mother won't miss an apple... or two." She spoke aloud to herself, placing the bags against someone's house with a grunt. Wiping her brow, her gaze drifted back to Vapor, "You can have one too, for being nice. You could've just run off with it and I wouldn't have known, Mother won't mind a missing few too much, for a couple of hungry foals." She winked and went digging around, making sure she took the nicest pair from her bag before offering one to Vapor.

Vapor couldn't help but smile widely at the offer. "Really? Thank you so much!" He said, taking the offered apple and taking a bite out of it. He couldn't help but make a happy noise when he finally got some food into his stomach. It had been a couple of days and he had barely had the energy to even wander around without getting something!

"Do you and your mom have an apple farm?" He did wonder why she had so many apples and that was really the only reason he could think of. Wouldn't it be weird for a pony to go and collect them? They would get all grody and gross after a while and though he had eaten a few apples just like that, it didn't mean that he liked them! "I'm Vapor Breeze. Thanks for being so nice!" He said, wiping off some juice from his chin using one of his hooves.

 

[ChexaRain]

She grinned and shook her head at the mention of an apple farm, "Oh no, Mother just likes to bake once in a while and when she bakes..." Flurry couldn't help but roll her eyes. Mother's anxiety got the best of her and baking was her outlet, and that usually meant making enough food to feed a full team of ponies instead of just her and her foals. She wrinkled her nose, "Today it'll be apple pies." She looked over the bags set on the ground, "....I'm gonna guess maybe 14 or so with this bunch."
She grinned cheekily, "My name is Flurry. Mother says its because I'm a whirlwind, whatever that means." She nudged Vapor with her shoulder, "And no problemo, Breezie. It would be rude to eat myself, what with all these apples sitting here. 'Sides, Mother wouldn't have it if she found out I had you watching me eat either!" She took a large bite of her apple and with no regard to the food in her mouth spoke again, "So where'd you and your folks come from? I don't think I've seen you before."

Vapor's ears flattened at the thought of having parents and a family. "I uh... don't remember. I think I've been by myself forever!" He said. That was what he remembered, so that was what it must be! "I don't think I even have parents." He almost whispered in a scandalous tone, as though it were a secret that no other pony should know. He felt some pain when he thought about it, but couldn't understand why.

"Apple pie sounds yummy!" He wasn't sure if he ever had it, but it had apples in it, so it must be good right? "I would like some!" He said, beaming to the other foal. It didn't last long however as his mind once again changed direction. "Flurry! I don't get what it means either but I like that name! I don't know why I'm Vapor Breeze. I think I picked it out! It feels like me, you know?" He just remembered that it was always his name, though sometimes he forgot what it was. Barely anyone called him by his name, and unless he recalled it himself, it was often unsaid, with weeks or months going by without him hearing it, almost to the point that he forgot.

 

[ChexaRain]

She gasped, nearly dropping food out of her mouth, "None at ALL?!" A scandal indeed! At the mention of pie, Flurry nodded frantically, "Yes, absolutely! After we get done snacking you can help me carry apples and then we can have apple pie at my house! Mother loves company when she's a busy bee!" Of course, this was just a smidgen of an exaggeration, as Sweet Surrender often wouldn't complain about company, but surely a foal wouldn't cause her so much strife quite like a full-grown pony coming home with Flurry, right?
She tilted her head to one side, "Is it okay that I call you Breezie? Mother says I have a bad habit of small things that I should ask, and this seems like one of those times! It's just that Vapor Breeze is such a BIG name, and all...."

 

[SSBrosB]

He shook his head. "No parents! I get to do whatever I want! But uh... I have to find my own food. A lot of the time my tummy is empty but then I meet nice ponies like you!" Or at least he thought she was nice. After all, she let him have an apple! "And sure! I'll help! I can't wait for that apple pie!" He wasn't sure how much he had to help, but if she was able to carry all of those apples, then so could he!

He shook his head again at the nickname. "Nope! Breezie is cool!" He wasn't sure if his name was large, but he didn't mind the nickname at least! "I uh..." He wondered if he should call the other by a different name too? "Mind if I call you Flurry? I uh, can't think of a different name to call you."
