"Good to hear." she says to the batpony. Before she says anything, she studies the two ponies. One of them has a snake around her neck. 'I've never seen a pony with a snake before.' she thinks to herself. The other one, the batpony, there is definitely something different about her, aside from her being a batpony. Her accent is unmistakably that of a local Canterlot resident, but the way she carries herself, and her confidence makes her feel as though she's not a local. No matter, she'll have time to dwell on it later. "I'm trying to get to Manehatten as soon as possible, but horse-drawn carriage as well as trains to and from Manehatten are closed, apparently due to some kind of emergency that's going on there. Something about a skyscaper..." she says, mumbling the last part, trying to think why all of this is happening. "Anyways, like I said, I'm asking if you could possibly take me there in your airship. If its needed, I can pay you for transportation costs, fuel, the likes." she says, levitating out a reasonably sized brown pouch from her saddlebags, filled with enough bits to cover whatever costs needed. "My name is Hex, its a pleasure to meet you." she says.
