somethin i think we all gotta learn
Particularly the looking at things from other perspectives part.
just saying you are very composed in all of the given situations.
Thank you.
When I can, I try to take things slow; look at them from a few angles.
The less time I have, the fewer angles I can look through.
If I’ve no time at all, I just move. Doing something’s usually better than doing nothing.
Usually.
you work well under pressure, don't you?
I don’t know about that.
I don’t shut down under pressure. If I did I wouldn’t be here today.
That is, I wouldn’t be alive today. And if I grew out of it, my behind wouldn’t be in this hospital bed.
Hey, Lyra. I'm alright, and safe. This morning Basil brought me to some place with Rarity, and we're not allowed back in the Boutique, so I'm just staying here. Rarity left a couple hours ago without really saying anything, so I'm just hanging out... She looked really sad, I have no idea what's happening. I'm sure I'll find out soon, though. How are you feeling? Any better? I'm sorry about your leg...
Hi Sweetie!
I’m alright. This painkiller is so strong it doesn’t even hurt, really. It’s making me a little loopy though.
Rarity’s… a little confused right now. So am I, to be honest. But don’t you worry. It’ll work out soon, I promise!
And… You know Rarity and I both love you. And I know you love Rarity. And she knows you love her. But sometimes it’s nice to hear somepony say that to them, understand? Maybe next time you see Rarity you could remind her?
Lyra, it occurs to me that I have not said anything to you since you were injured. So, well, I suppose this is me doing so. Be healed.
Thanks, big guy.
I hope you and Rarity can get back to being a normal couple soon.
Well, semi-normal; considering the twilit third wheel.
jeeze, things are falling apart over there, huh. wish i could help.
Things are getting better. I’ll probably be home midday tomorrow.
Or tomorrow evening.
I just hope Sweetie’s okay…
It is surprisingly hard to find a nurse around here, but I bought you some sleeping pills so you can sleep when you need to. Have a good night's rest Lyra, I hope you feel better in the morning.
Oh my.
I wasn’t being serious.
I’m actually getting really tired of nodding off all the time.
But thank you! That was very thoughtful!
I want to sit by your side until you fully recover... otherwise I couldn't sleep or eat knowing i may not be there for a friend.
Okay.
I was about to go back to sleep though.
Yeah, those drugs can seriously play mind games on you at times. I remember when I was arguing with myself about the difference between pronouncing "our" and "hour" due to me being on a lot of pain meds after my eye accident. But, at least the pain is dulled, right?
It’s a-Yeah, it’s sort of a trade off. Pain or clarity.
I'm sorry for not visiting you sooner... i kind of just sat outside trying to gather words and feelings together...
It’s cool.
I just keep drifting off to sleep anyway.
I've been curious. Unicorns can use magic, Pegasi can fly, but do Earth Ponies have any like, outstanding traits? Are they generally stronger?
Stronger is relative. Their hind-legs tend to be stronger overall. Forelegs is about normal. Are about normal.
There’s the whole nature thing and connection to the land, but that’s mostly just cultural.
For the most part earth ponies have endurance on their side. An earth pony at the peak of physical performance can run for over twelve hours straight. I think it was twelve… Unicorns and Pegasi can’t even approach that.
In fact, no land-based creature in Equestria can.
