twilightpony | The Guest

I'm dropping feathers left and right. Starlight Glimmer is staying here in the castle. She burned all her bridges in her vendetta against me and she didn't plan past it. I other words, she doesn't really have any other place to stay. The castle has a lot of unused rooms.

Over breakfast this morning it became clear just how directionless she has become. Directionless, essentially friendless (besides us), maybe a bit listless and very uncomfortable with the harm that she's done. Where have I seen something like this before? Well, there's nothing a little friendship can't heal! I talked her into catching the train and going with her to the town she founded, to make amends with the ponies there. We'll go tomorrow. As a primer, I had her read my Friendship Reports. Not the originals, those I had Spike send back to Princess Celestia after we'd defeated Discord, but copies, written from memory into a field notebook. She was happy for something to do.

I went today to see if Rarity wants more pony molt to felt into dolls while the molt is abundant. I got brushed. A lot.
