*starts sleep talking* lyra... hugs... *starts hugging self* okay... half an hour....

That’s… a little…

Oh! I remember that now!

That was… Tuesday?

s s s s-sorry, didn't mean t t-to. i'm going to c c c-catch my breath n n n n-now. wake me if you n n n-need me for anything. *falls asleep on the floor*

Tha-

Thank you.

*starts to stand back up*but um i didn't mean just tumblr i meant people on youtube DA skype or even my real life talk to me

Oh…

Well… Uh… Sorry about that.

You know, before this whole tumblr thing, I rarely ever talked to anypony. And visa versa.

m-m-m-monster? *starts to cower into the corner*

Not literally!

It’s just a figurative monster. A… word that means a thing that’s not literal…

Lost my train of thought…

*rushes in the door* h h h-hey, i g-g got the c-c-chips, and i got d-d d-d-dip just in c-c-case.

And woke me back up…

It’s okay, though. And thanks for the food!

i'm pretty good, a little bummed that you and the cmc are the only living things that talk to me

Well, a lot of the time… [yawn]

Sorry. A lot of the time messages don’t reach their intended… um… recipient!

Also, ponies jump in and out and answer questions out of order. So maybe you’ll get more answers later, or maybe the messages you sent got “ate by the tumblr monster.”

hello lyra....i don't really have a question so i'll just ask: how are you?

I’m loopy from painkiller and my back keeps getting all tingly-numb, making me roll over. But I don’t want to face away from the door. Partially out of paranoia; partially because I don’t want anypony staring at my butt through the sheets.

Otherwise, I’m fine. How are you?

I will be back in a few minutes! *speeds out the door*

I’ll try to still be awake when you get back!

What does that mean? Are you okay?

hey... your up again! a while ago this nurse came in with food, and i gave her an awkward look and she left. would you like anything?

Tortilla chips.

I lo~ve tortilla chips.

I hope you get better soon :[ I brought you some flowers from my greenhouse. I don't know what your favorite is, so I put a lot of different kinds in the bouquet. *Gives the bouquet to you* *sheepish smile* I hope you like them.

Well, hello there.

And thank you! They look lovely!

I don’t know that I have a favorite flower, not really a fan of them (‘cause of bees). But all together the colors are very pretty!

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?
