Don't read and walk (open to anyone!)

[Nile Otheos]

Canterlot always seemed to have such nice weather, which made it very easy to walk wherever you need to go. Once a pony got used to the easy bustle of the beautiful city and relaxed into the flow, daily walks were quite nice in fact. For Nile though, it meant it was very easy to multitask while walking. In the midday sun, many ponies were out and about, visiting shops, getting lunch, running errands, or even just enjoying the sunny, warm day.

Nile had nowhere in particular to be and had been ushered out by his very close friend, Quincy, to go outside, enjoy life. Apparently Nile was "Too stuffed in your room! You need to quit being such an indoor pony, especially in such a lovely city!" So, Nile took what books he could sneak past his friend in a bag and began to trot the streets. The library might be a nice goal but he had not yet finished his books that he got from there yet. Maybe a cafe` would be nice, sip coffee and read on the patio deck.

The quiet sound of his horn's magic igniting was drowned out by the sounds all around him but he could feel the magic alive and warm. He lifted a book from his bag and levitated it in front of him, quickly flipping the pages open to where he last left off, starting to read while he walked. He read and walked many times a day in his long life at Canterlot, it was easy to dodge ponies and run with the flow of people, stopping when needed, though this was Canterlot, not Manehattan. The streets weren't as packed or fast paced, but that didn't make it less lively.

Normally, he could easily avoid running into anypony, but today was different, he didn't know where he wanted to go. He was distracted by those thoughts, debating with himself, and reading now. He had much less attention on what was happening around him and would surely run into somepony sooner or later, it was just a matter of time..and let's just hope he didn't run into anypony in a bad mood.

It was a nice day in Canterlot, which meant a lot of ponies were walking around, including a unicorn filly by the name of Silver Star. Silver had decided to spend a few days in Canterlot, mostly because she was bored and had nothing better to do. She wasn't the biggest fan of the city, in fact she hated everything about Canterlot. She thought and had always believed it was a place for fancy and rich ponies to live. Her opinions were obviously proven as every pony she passed looked super fancy and stuck up. Nopony seemed to care why there was a filly wandering the streets of Canterlot by herself, which was good for Silver. The last thing she needed was for somepony to come up to her and ask her where her parents were. It had happened once though, and Silver gave an honest answer, "Dead". It was true, her parents had been dead a sister long as she could remember and the pony responsible to take care of her, her aunt, didn't care about her at all. So, Silver just took care of herself everyday and had come to believe nopony cared about her, she didn't care though. 

Silver came out of her thoughts and started to observe her surroundings. There seemed to be endless cafes and shops at every corner. She started to run faster, not sure where she was going. Truthfully, she was hoping for some kind of adventure, but that would never come to her in Canterlot. She snapped out of her thoughts again upon hearing and seeing herself crash into another pony. She stumbled back and looked at the pony she crashed into, it seemed to be some unicorn stallion. "Ugh, watch were you're going, Mister!" She snapped at him, even though it was her own fault.

Hopes of running into somepony not very fussy were quickly diminished as Nile's book was basically shoved into his face and clattered to the floor. Another body ran right into them and the force knocked him over. That sort of force must have meant the pony he ran into had been running and obviously not paying attention though it wasn't like Nile was less guilty. It sounded like a mare had run into him but when he rubbed his head and looked down, she looked more like a filly almost, maybe a very young mare. At least she had the politeness to call him mister but Nile felt a little old being called that. He was only in his twenties, no need for such formalities. "Maybe you shouldn't be running in the middle of a busy street!" he huffed and got up, brushing himself up from the ground and levitating his book up, inspecting it for damage before sliding it into his bag and offering a hoof for her to help her up. He was annoyed but not enough to forget his manners. 


She had quite beautiful colors, simple yet the greys and silvers really shined in the bright sunshine. The only thing that really stood out about Nile were his vibrant golden yellow eyes and his voice. Despite using it all the time, his voice was smooth and sweet like thick honey, honestly he could be a radio show host with it. "Where were you running off to so quickly?" His anger melted away into concern, looking around for any sort of parent, guardian, sibling, even just a friend but she seemed quite alone. "Are you looking for someone? If you're lost, I know this entire city like the back of my hoof, I can point you in the right direction."
