Trying to Start Over

Tulip tried to lower the stallion on her couch but she accidentally whacked his head on the edge of her coffee table.

"I'm so sorry." Tulip told him.

She pushed herself as hard as she could and finally placed the guy onto her couch. Tulip wiped she forehead and studied the stallion's armor close and prepared a spell on her hooves to protect them from the hot metal as she yanked at the jaw of his helmet. She yanked hard enough to when her hooves slipped off the metal she fell backwards but to her surprise she was gently placed back on her hooves. She walked back to where the stallion was laying and looked over the helmet trying to find something that might detach the bottom from the top. When she didn't find anything that would look like a switch or latch she sat down and blew a strand of hair out of her face.

"First I almost get killed when you drop from the sky and now I can get your helmet off to at least see who you are?" Tulip asked him.

She huffed as she cast a scanning spell on the stallion's body and noted his fractured ribs and sighed when that was all that was wrong with him. Tulip ran a hoof along the front of his chest and she felt a small rise in the center of his chest plate. She put a little pressure on the peak and fell on the station's chest as the peak suddenly dropped. She got quickly as she watched the armor separate down the middle revealing a tan hide. Tulip looked the stallion's face as the helmet receded and gasped as she saw his eyes was wide open showing one piercing emerald green eye that made her stop for a second as her breath caught in her throat, but the the other eye was slightly clouded with a scar across it.

"Water...?" The stallion asked her.

She only nodded before walking into the kitchen.

Tulip watched the stallion closely as he stretched and she applied a burn ointment on his chest and back where the armor had heated up the most. She picked up the glass of water and pressed it against his lips forcing him to take a drink before setting it back down and finishing the application of the burn ointment.

"There we go, now I'll need you to take it easy for a while." Tulip told him.

"Of course, um you never told me your name." The stallion told her.

"My name is Tulip." Tulip replied.

"A beautiful name for a beautiful mare." Kalib replied as he ran a hoof through his almost black mane. "Kalib Odiv at your service, my lady."

Tulip blushed slightly and only blushed harder as he brushed a strand of her mane out of her face.

"Are you okay?" Kalib asked her

"Yeah, will you be okay sleeping on the couch tonight?" Tulip asked him. "I'll have the guest room fixed up tomorrow."

"That's fine, I've slept on the before so taking a couch for a night doesn't bother me." Kalib replied with a slight grin.

"Good night Kalib." Tulip told him.

"Good night Tulip." Kalib replied as he laid down on the couch
