Foalhood Friends, Check
Oct. 20th, 2015 11:18 pmWith all the excitement of the expedition and the exhaustion and recovery time when I got back, I'd neglected to leave my Haycartes' Treatise on Ponies open, in case Moondancer wanted a quick word with me. It was only after my book-buying trip to Canterlot that it occurred to me. So it's been back on the end table by my reading couch, open and at the ready, except the few times Spike or Owlowiscious reshelved it.
As luck would have it, I looked over at the Haycartes book this afternoon as I was refilling my tea cup, only to see Moondancer staring at me. She'd been trying to get my attention, but I was reading at the time. She said she could tell by my replies that I wasn't paying attention. She was about to give up and write a letter to me instead. Well, she had my full attention now.
Moondancer has spoken to all four of our mutual foalhood friends and all four said they could make it to the Canterlot Explorer's Society dinner and lecture. I told her that Shining Armor and Princess Cadence couldn't make it but that I planned on inviting my parents and our yak guide, if I could find him again. I also need to write to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna to ask if they will be attending.
Our guide's name is Machur Lulach, which means 'small calf of the plains', I think. I don't know how common that is. The search might take a while. I'll see if any of my friends are up for a short trip to Yakyakistan to look for him. Sharing a daunting task with friends can make it both easier and fun.
