NATG III Day 3 - Stable Suited Survivor

Description

As I approached the ancient riverbed where a stream of water still trickled through, I caught sight of another unicorn laying on her side on the opposite bank. Cautiously, I walked through the stream towards her, unsure if she still lived or not, or how she may respond to the presence of one such as me. As I approached her, I looked over her body, noting the injuries she had suffered, and the Stable suit and PipBuck she wore. I then slowly reached out and nudged her head. As this garnered no reaction, I shifted closer and pressed my foreleg against her neck, checking for a pulse, and finding one. Realizing that she still lived, I checked her over more thoroughly to determine the extent of her injuries. After confirming that she was only lightly injured, I telekinetically lifted the mare up and draped her across my back, then began making my way back to my current domicile.

This is my submission for Day 3 of Equestria Daily's Newbie Artist Training Grounds III - Draw a pony in costume/Draw a suited pony. And it also marks the first significant change in my plans for this ongoing story. Originally, I had planned to introduce Verdant Pine at some point in this story, but when I saw 'A Suited Pony' I promptly thought of the suits worn by Stable dwellers (officially called Stable Barding) and realized that I should have this story feature Nocturne encountering this OC instead. Note that this decision is part of the reason that this picture was uploaded late; I had not yet thought out what her actual color scheme would be, and thus needed to do that before I could finish this. Which kept me busy for much longer than I would have liked.

Now I just need to finalize her name...

I've also changed up my story style here, writing the story in the first person instead of the third, and portraying it as a tale being remembered/told by Nocturne at some later date. I think this will allow me to better convey Nocturne's thoughts, and will be editing the previous two NATG posts to shift their story segments to this style as well.
