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 started off like such a sweet message too.
Oh well!

It started off like such a sweet message too.

Oh well!

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!

Okay, have a nice nap then... I'll be here if you need anything.

Alright.

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.

Anna: Oh, but my brother has NEVER been on a date before, and he's just been extremely nervous over the whole thing. Then again, it wasn't really a high stakes bet or anything.

Dates are overrated.

Dating is overrated.

Hanging out is funner.

Funner… That’s a wor-

Yeah, that’s a word.

So are you in a room by yourself or are there other patients in there with you?

It’s just me.

Ponies have stopped by to visit throughout the day.

Ah…

I can’t think of any right now thou-

Bon-Bon!

Bon-Bon visited me.

Anna: Well, it's not like my brother wants to go on a date willingly. He lost a bet.

Why bet over that? There’s so many better things he could be forced to do.

I can’t think of any right now, but I know there are.

Anna: Both Twilight and Dash said you can help me find some single mares to set up on a blind date. So, know of anyone I can hook up with my brother?

No.

No.

Sorry. No pony comes to mind. Everypony seems to have somepony.

Why a blind date? Those are dumb.

… Dumb?

Whatever, dumb.

I'm sorry the food is so bad, I would be happy to bring you a nice meal, is there something you would like?

Sleeping pills, so I can just wake up tomorrow and get the hay out of here.

So are you going to need to be in a wheel chair for a while?

Not quite.

Once things start to heal up I’ll be able to sort of limp/walk on three hooves. But I’ll be doing a lot of sitting and laying, yeah.
