Roughshod listened in silence as the mare outlined some vague ideas for spending time in the big city, the stallion responding to her questioning after a moment, tone thoughtful, a single hoof rubbing at his chin.

"Well, what to get up to in Canterlot really depends on what you enjoy doing.. Honestly, since I spend most of my time in the city drinking, chatting with charming mares, or just wandering about and seeing what kinda trouble I can get into, the only real recommendation I can make is; have a starting point in mind, and then just go wander. It can be kinda fun, getting lost in a new city, and Canterlot's a big place, with a lot of stuff to see. The Botanical Gardens and Museums are supposed to be good, if you're, you know, interested in plants or history." The grey stallion replied, relaxing by the bar as he rambled on, the stallion shooting Agilene yet another flirtatious wink at the mention of charming mares, and his tone grew slightly bored as he referred to the few more cultured attractions the city had to offer, the rough and tumble stallion clearly not the biggest fan of intellectual pursuits.
"The oft-unappreciated horseshoe. Useful for much more than keeping your hooves fresh, if you can handle the nails."

Foxtrot squints his eyes as he looks up to the scorching sun, not even looking directly at it before lowering his gaze due to the brightness. He doesn't cringe though, only smiling as he passes by other ponies who aren't so enthused with the heat. Either way the stallion continues trotting down the beaten trail until he stops at something which catches his eye. "Grand Reopening. Wait, how long was this here?" He looks around to see if anyone was heading towards it, but an empty road didn't yield many answers. Shrugging, the unicorn walks over to the bar, "Eh, why not? I can go for a drink or two." Foxtrot pushes the door open; stepping inside he scans the place, noting the mess he doesn't pay too much mind, the fact it has a place to sit is good enough. Trotting towards the bar he only sees the bartender and another patron. Finding a stool a few chairs away, he sits down and looks around the place once more, catching any details of the place he lights missed.
What makes a great soldier? Is it his brain, or his heart?

As Agilene imagined the Canterlot attractions Roughshod listed out, the sound of the door opening broke her trail of thought. Was it a new customer? Her eyes darted to the bar's entrance. As she expected, a new customer has arrived. A brown unicorn wearing a green army shirt. The pegasus wondered if she had seen this one before. She shrugged, passing him off as one of those look-a-likes that are common with some ponies. Especially that army of look-a-likes she read about during a Royal Wedding a couple years ago.

She faced Roughshod, "It appears we have some company."
