Sekhmet stared after her partner for a moment, wondering if she should follow. It didn't seem like any of her business, but given the circumstances, being separated from her so early on was probably a bad move. In the end, she decided to run after her.
-
Smokey-Heart was trying to prevent a blue Pegasi from coming deeper into her house,
“ hey I helped you design the place! Back when it was a normal house,” she said with an eye roll, before glancing at Sekhmet.
“...oh I see you have friends around..I’ll come back later,” the mare said, -
Sekhmet looked between Smokey-heart and the pony she was blocking (Mistyheart, if she had heard correctly), and tilted her head.
"I didn't realize you'd had help with the house." she commented, her curiosity about this new guest peaked. "Who is she?" -
“ I didn’t. She picked out the flooring. “ smokey says calmly. “ she’s ....no pony,”
Mistyheart frowns. “ I’ll be back later.” She tells smokey, but honestly it sounded more like she was promising herself.
Smokey shook her head, “...want to go see my lab?” She asked brightening right back up. -
Ooooh. The plot thickens. Sekhmet watched Mistyheart go, beginning to wonder just how much baggage the chipper unicorn had. Once the blue pony was out of sight, she turned her attention back to Smokey.
"Please show me your lab." she responded with a smile. -
Smokey seemed to be pretending what had happened, hadn’t...well happened.
She bounced down a faux stone corridor. Unlike the rest of the house, the lab looked..natural.
It looked like a place you’d expect a mare like smokey heart to hang out, with pinboards, blueprints, minimal clutter, and a lot of inventions and gadgets throughout the large hall. -
Sekhmet followed quietly, mentally indexing everything she had learned so far. Any of this information could turn out to be useful later.
She stopped briefly in the threshold of the lab, looking around.
"What are all of these for?" she asked, finally getting moving, albeit slowly. She stopped at each item, looking them over with intrigue. -
“ that one sets things on fire, that one puts out the thing I set on fire, that one puts out the fire that started on the thing that puts out fires.” Smokey heart explained cheerfully.
“ that one lets me see the stars anytime I want,” she says as she switches on the machine, the entire room turns into a galaxy.
( I thought it’d be funny if despite her prowess Smokey was basically Spencer shay) -
(That's f---ing hilarious.)
Sekhmet studied each piece as it was introduced, stifling laughter.
"Which one of these would put out the fire on the boots you're wanting me to test if they spontaneously combusted?" she asked playfully, showing pointed teeth in a wide grin.
She was taken off guard as the room changed around her, her wings reflexively unfolding to flee before she realized it was harmless. They remained poised for take off until she was able to relax her fight or flight response, and then it took a moment for her eyes to adjust to the lighting. When she had finally adapted, she took her time taking in the view, ears pressed flat against her head.
"Is this... real? Do you have a live view of space here?" she asked breathlessly, still turning slowly in her place. This room had been so finite just a moment ago, but now it was making her feel like nothing. -
“ I haven’t designed it yet, but I’ll be on it soon.” Smokey says, in a tone that makes it impossible to tell if she’s kidding or not.
“ uh-huh! I set up this little machine I call a Satolight!” Smokey explained giddily. “ it took five years to build, and then send up to space, this way I can monitor everything...and look at the stars.” She said happily as she galloped over to a corner where she flipped a switch.
“ this is a Storeo! It plays music, kind of like a speaker? But you put coins into it and it plays a song. I’m developing them for restaurants all over canterlot.” She said as she popped a coin into her tester device and a song came on.
“ if you want, when we have free time, I could teach you to invent stuff as well!” She offered happily
( I’m having way too much fun naming things.) -
Sekhmet stared at Smokey for a solid minute without speaking, wishing she could think of anything to say. She was aware after a few seconds that this was going to get uncomfortable if she couldn't make her mouth move, but at the moment, nothing seemed to do this justice.
"Smokeyheart.." she tried, moving to stand beside her. "You are so cool."
Dammit. That was too much.
"I mean," she tried again, this time finding talking much easier now with her reputation at stake. "Your inventions are amazing. I don't think I'd be very good at it, though. I'll leave it to you." -
-
(s--- I’m so sorry, I’ll respond to this after school. )
-
(it's cool, take your time)
-
The mare became flushed.
“ you...you don’t think this is all a waste of time?” She asks smiling happily. While her practical inventions were praised, most of her creative projects were overlooked if not outright rejected.
It was the belief that if it could be accomplished by magic, why try to make another way to do it.
As if everyone in the world had magic. It was unfair.
“It’s a fun hobby.” She nodded.
( fun fact I never intended for Smokey to have this kind of everyone should be on an equal level mentality, originally the wing obsession was a meme, but I’m loving how it’s actually worked out.)
