So this is how everyone's been communicating then?

Not to sound paranoid or anything but the last magically enchanted diary I wrote in that could write back tried to kill me so I'm just a bit skeptic.

But, I suppose this is as good a place as any to ask, where exactly am I?

Comments

[letteropener]

Then we will learn. I am looking forward to it, myself.

[hero_complexed]

I'm not.

The faster I can get home and away from Malfoy, the better.

[letteropener]

Malfoy? May I ask what that is?

[hero_complexed]

A stupid git.

[letteropener]

Somepony from your own world, I take it, who you have poor relations with?

[Celestia can't imagine declaring somepony she had just met only a little while ago a stupid git and wanting nothing more than to get away from them.]

[hero_complexed]

[ ..Somepony? ]

That's putting it mildly.

[letteropener]

I see. You have my sympathies for finding yourself in that circumstance, and I hope you can find a way to make it work for you.

[She isn't going to offer words of advice or instruction unless asked. In Equestria, it might have had weight based on her position and repute, but here she is just another written word on paper. Lessons about friendship and harmony, therefore, must be learned directly.]

I am certain, however, you will find many other people here who you can get along with much better.

[hero_complexed]

Oh, not sound arrogant, but I always thought I was rather good at getting along with others so long as my cousin wasn't threatening to beat them up for it.

[letteropener]

Then he should be little burden to you, once you two go your separate ways. That is an excellent talent to have, and one that will serve you well.

[hero_complexed]

Yeah, but I can't exactly leave him alone-he's got to come with me.

[letteropener]

Oh? And why is that?

[hero_complexed]

If I know Malfoy, he'll run his mouth and get himself in trouble.

[letteropener]

And you feel some responsibility to protect him from the consequences of his actions?

[hero_complexed]

Not all of them. Just any that might get him killed.

[letteropener]

That is still admirable. I wish I could offer you a more immediate consolation for the trouble that will bring you, but being that sort of person is its own reward in the long run, as I am sure you know.

[hero_complexed]

[ Not really, no. But that isn't going to stop him from doing the right thing. ]

Yeah.
