The Nightly Run (Reserved for Tinder)

Foxtrot:
Foxtrot takes short breaths as he exits the woods on the outskirts of Ponyville. The sky is clear and full of stars, a crescent moon occupying the expanse as well. Looking around, the brown unicorn trots across the field onto the first worn path in town; everything is quiet, the streets empty of residents as well. He walks to the side of a nearby house and sits down, resting his back against the building's wall he pulls out his canteen by hoof and takes a gulp of water. "Alright Fox, just find a place to stay for tonite, then get to the station in the morning; easy as cake." Some distance away, shouting can be heard as a party searching for him reach the field a short distance away. Sighing in annoyance, Foxtrot pushes himself back up to his hooves, slowly but surely making his way further into town. His gear is light; a backpack, guitar, and machete accompany the stallion as he strolls through the streets of Ponyville, keeping an eye out for anyplace he can hide for the night.

Tinder:
Tinder is out in front of her ran down apartment building pacing back and forth. She had spent the first bit of the night sitting in her bed, trying to force herself to sleep, but unfortunately for her it just wasn't working. So instead of spending the rest of the night in her house, doing nothing but staring at the ceiling, she decided to get out for a bit. So she tossed her bag on and went out to try to get some fresh air and maybe become tired enough to sleep. After pacing for a minute she realizes that there is no reason for her to be staying next to home like this, so off she goes, farther into town to get some air and perhaps even pick a couple pockets if anyone was out and about. Using a bit of magic to light up her horn enough to see where she's going, the dull yellow light illuminating her face and a bit of the road ahead.

Foxtrot:
Swerving through alleys, ducking through corners and bounding across the occasional roof, Foxtrot finds himself crossing the town in little time. About halfway though, he rounds a corner to find the group of ponies looking for him. Immediately he back pedals, unknowingly knocking over a trash can and gaining their attention. Not even waiting to see if they heard or not, the unicorn sprints away down the street. More concerned with who is behind him, Foxtrot fails to notice the mare in front of him until the last moment. Before colliding with her he spins away, losing his balance and landing against a cart. By now hoof steps in the distance become louder as the group chasing him start to get closer.

Tinder:
Tinder walks down the street, pretty oblivious to the things around her as she focus' on the magic she is using to light up her way as well as using a bit to keep the air around her chilled a bit. She doesn't notice the pony running towards her until he gets quite close, and even then doesn't have time to react to him. She watches as he crashes in the cart and quickly makes her way over to him, mumbling to herself as she worries about this unknown pony. She stops the spell that is chilling the air and instead focus' more of her magic on just lighting up her horn to try to see if he is okay. When she hears the group that was chasing him she quickly turns off the light of her horn. She's been chased her fair share of times and she knows that lighting up the road like that won't help. So off goes the light and she starts to whisper at the pony, "I don't know what you did, but I don't really care either. My place isn't all that far from here, there is a empty next to mine, they'd have no reason to check there. Unless you want to get caught."

Foxtrot:
Foxtrot cringes as he tries to get up, his body already sore from all the running. He looks up to the mare and her words, and simply nods; normally he would formally introduce himself, but this wasn't a normal situation. With a muttered curse he finally pushes himself up from the busted cart and looks to where the group is coming from. "Thanks. Lead the way."
