That sounds nice.

Unfortunately it isn’t an option. I probably won’t get any work the first day, but I have to be prepared none-the-less. There’s a lot to do before tomorrow.

But thank you. It was a nice thought.

Thank you again.

It’s getting to the point where I don’t know how else to answer comments like this.

What’s Wrong With You Today Lyra, Why Are You So Down? What Happened?

I was down.

I don’t handle rage very well, Gilda. I don’t want to hurt anyone tonight.

Not Forever I Hope.

I wouldn’t do that to Sweetie.

ask-sweetie-belle replied to your post: You wanna go out for a walk, Lyra?

Alright! I’ll be waiting outside!

Let’s get as far away from town as possible.

I made this for you. Hope you like it.

Before I go out for a walk with Sweetie Belle, thank you, Evan.

Yeah.

Yeah that sounds good. Maybe we can talk some more.

I didn’t get around to finishing that Earthbound piece. I’ll get to it later.

I need to go take my frustrations out on something.

What about that tripped you up exactly?

How much is rhinestone worth?

You certainly live up to your name, Sweetie.

I have a spare bed I can bring over tomorrow if you like.

It’s fine.

Now everypony drop it. Once I see that this substitute thing is working financially, I’ll worry about expenditures.

Lyra… you deserve to sleep in a comfy bed… Especially if you’ve spent a lot of your life sleeping in uncomfortable places. Really, I don’t mind at all!

Ugh… This is why I didn’t want to bring it up with you…

Sweetie, a growing filly is supposed to sleep on a bed. If you want to sacrifice your bed when you’re an adult, that’s your right. But you aren’t that far along yet.

I’ll buy another bed soon. I just need to get some money first. It’s a temporary setup.

This isn’t the first time I’ve been asked this.

Answer is pretty much the same.

Sweetie, don’t be ridiculous.

I’ve slept on everything from brick and mortar to concrete. Hardwood is nothing. Besides, I’m sleeping on a blanket.

You know, I have submissions open specifically so ponies can send me links through there.

Either way, sheets received. I’ll see what I can do, when I have some time.

You have to have shame to be embarrassed. I don’t have much left.

Mostly I just feel useless and/or sad if something would normally embarrass somepony.
