"Whatever you do, don't get turned around~" Silver laughingly warned her. And to be honest, for a moment, looking at Mane Street with its busy thoroughfare traffic, she did look rather daunted for a moment. But only a moment. Sweetheart took a long deep inhalation. She rumpled up her bangs. Her brow lowered, very slightly, and her lower lip turned out in a determined pout. She looked, surprisingly, a little less sweet and patient and a lot younger, suddenly. Then she stepped boldly off the curb and right into traffic. A taxi-cart approached them at a reckless speed, but she flashed the pony pulling it such a look as to bring him to a screeching halt! A cart loaded with cargo took this opportunity to try a left turn into that street, but couldn't quite get all the way in, with the result that the crosswalk was blocked by the rear end of his cart, and Sweet's and Silver's path was cut off. Without batting an eye, the white mare whirled about and thwacked the side of the cart with a hind foot, causing the contents of the crates to jingle warningly. "Hey!" she called, loudly, and with an accent that she didn't have before, "Move the frigging rattletrap already! Can'tcha see I'm walkin here?!" A startled and annoyed pony looked up and over at them, took one look, and... found some room to squeeze forward into, giving them room to continue. Sweetheart stalked forward, glowering, and even other pedestrians seemed to melt away to either side, giving them room to walk on through. It wasn't a civil or glamorous way to cross the street, but it surely was effective! |
