[It's late. It's cold. Florina's tired, sore, and upset, but right now, she just wants to get home. Anyone outside tonight might catch a flash of white soaring overhead, or see a pegasus and her rider knocking enthusiastically at the window of apartment 8 in the first Community Housing building.]

Ah! I'm alright! A-a-and I found her!

[Florina startles and responds in an embarrassed whisper.]

O-oh um, t-t-thank you. She's n-not that remarkable though um, she's, well, she's just a p-p-perfectly normal pegasus...

[voice]

[wings_of_ilia]

R-really? Oh. Um, they're c-common in my home country...

[ The idea of them being rare is so strange to her. Other worlds are so weird. But now she's curious.]

If pegasi are r-rare, erm, what k-kind of creatures do you have in your world?

[voice]

[wings_of_ilia]

Oh! We have, um, n-non-flying horses too. B-but um, what is a "Beast Fiend?" [Whatever it is, it doesn't sound good. Now it's her turn to sound amazed.]

[voice]

[wings_of_ilia]

O-oh! [She swallows loudly.] Your world s-sounds, um, d-d-dangerous. Ah! T-then again, my world used to have d-dragons until they got sealed away so, um...

[She trails off awkwardly and quietly mumbles her last sentence.]

Well, a-at least, pegasi aren't dangerous.

[voice]

[wings_of_ilia]

I-I'm glad! Oh! And my pegasus is n-named Huey!

[ She's awfully proud of that name. It's much better than the name than her first pegasus had. ]

Would you like to m-meet her sometime?

[voice]

[wings_of_ilia]

I-it's alright! She's a very g-gentle mare, and I'm sure she would love the attention.

[voice]

[wings_of_ilia]

A-alright! I'll take her into the village then, in, um, a few days and then you can meet her! I can t-take you flying too, erm, if you want to.
