Description:
“Water under the bridge. Let’s just not rush things in the future, okay?” You reassure her with a smile, and she returns one with a nod. The ears also pick back up… seeing this new way to express body language is strange, but maybe they think the same about yours. With that topic concluded, you ask the next, “Now, have any bacon?”
Twilight’s face goes blank as all her brain power goes to thinking. Seems like this pony has no problem expressing what’s going on in her heart nor mind, or she doesn’t control it. “…what’s a bacon?”
Digging through the cupboards and such, taking mental note of what’s there, you say, “I can’t keep eating celery and apples, there has to be a better form of sustenance around. Well, I could, but what about protein?”
“Oh, I have some eggs, tofu and other legumes, stuff like that.” Taking note of such things, and seeing there’s no meat, you grab some eggs.
The stove top is shorter than what your used to, but it shouldn’t be a problem. Trying to use a fully bandaged arm makes it a challenge, but you do it with the dexterity of the other. Seems like Twilight is still taking interest to how intricate they are. “So, any word from that princess yet? From the things I heard yesterday, she sounds interesting… would she be willing to give me some sort of inter-galactic visitor stipend?”
“No, but I wouldn’t doubt it if the response came soon. I wrote something about bits, but I don’t think it’s needed considering you’ll be going back to your planet. And yes, she is amazing. Everything she says is filled with wisdom and knowledge of unmeasurable time. I always learn something when around her, as hard as that is considering her responsibilities.”
The smell from the pan makes the anticipation of eating worse. “Well, I want to pay back the kindness that was shown to me, so is there some way I could? Potential work or something?”
Giving a somewhat surprised look, she responds, “Why would you need to? All the things that would be gained from humans and ponies coming together will easily surpass that.” Giving it some thought, you don’t really know why either. You guess it’s just the kind of person you are, to pay things back personally.
The more you ponder, the more you try to list what to do. Food is being done, and you’ll have to figure out which skills could be applied for jobs. Since you have the company of the purple unicorn, the wanting of knowing how magic works and the science of Equestria comes up. “How do Unicorn horns work, do they vibrate air particles? How does that translate to effects anywhere between manipulation and conjuration? Like how the orbiting sun hasn’t incinerated the planets surface. Is gravity any stronger or weaker? Does Equestria spin? Do they have a pony version of the internet? Libraries are obsolete compared to the internet Twilight, don’t even go there.”
“…something that makes libraries obsolete?!” Sounds like that part overshadowed the others. “What could be more important than the ability to pass down what civilization needs to exist?” Giving her a smug look, she continues. “Well, I guess there’s more to look forward to! Oh, and the whole magic thing, I have many books on the subject you can read. I can’t wait to read human books…”
