Emerald asks Nishan if she’s been doing tours for a while.
 
“No. Before this I was a bodyguard, and for a short time, a mercenary.”
 
Emerald asks them both what they think of the war. Nishan just turns away, and Loupe looks sadly at her, and then to the colt and says,
 
“It’s terrible… Those war machines have caused so many casualties… To both sides now.”
 
Emerald asks what she means.
 
“Well, the zebra army forces have managed to capture and sort of replicate those weird devices. The Pony army got a lot of ground, but now it’s come to a rather explosive standstill.” Loupe says, and then seeing Nishan grimace at her she continues, “L-let’s change the subject!’
 
Emerald says that Nishan has a very nice belt and headband. He asks what the bone is about, and the emblem on her belt.
 
“You speak Zebra correct? I do not know the word for them in pony.”
 
Emerald listens, and the best he can translate it to are “articles of faith”. Emerald asks about Zebra religions.
 
“The one I have here, with the bone and the emblem that is a stylized skull, represents Ekwueme the Wild Hunter. He is a god of the hunt obviously, of the spear and bow, but also of wild beasts and of travel.”
 
Emerald follows this line of conversation further. It seems that he is one of three major Zebra deities. The other two being Hiwot, goddess of the sun and Marjani, goddess of magic. Though it is a pantheon, it seems that each of the followers tend not to show any religious reverence for any of the others. She goes on to explain that his followers pray to Ekwueme before wars, and for safe passage through dangerous lands, or when hunting dangerous beasts. She quickly notes that Ekwueme does not approve of hunting for sport. His appearance is that of a muscular, chiseled male zebra, wearing nothing but purple sash and carrying a golden spear and bow.”
 
As Emerald listens he briefly thinks about what he currently has and knows.
