"Morning does them good! I've never had better at a restaurant. She gets them really crispy on the outside. Maybe when we're in Canterlot for the gala I'll bring you all to my parents' house and see if she'll make a batch. I'll write them tonight." Clarity makes a note of this.
"Mm-hm! Morning has tons. Argent - my dad - doesn't have so many, but still some. He goes and nets riverberries with them. It's excruciatingly boring."
"They just sit there, nineteen minutes of twenty. They don't even really talk, they just wait for riverberries to drop off the bushes upstream because they're too prickly to go pick. I mean, a unicorn could do it and Argent is one, but only if you're willing to maneuver the berry very carefully for like ten minutes each through the gaps in the branches, it's actually faster to net them from the water."
"I'll go write to my parents and see what I have in the way of a library budget now, I think. Then reading. Thanks for the restaurant pointer!"
When she gets up in the morning, she decides to wander through a part of town she has not visited yet.
Ponyville isn't that big, but it's big enough to become lost in. Drat.
A pegasus drops out of the sky and lands neatly beside her.
"You are lost," Silver Streak observes. "Where did you mean to go?"
"I was just exploring, but now I've lost track of where I am relative to anything I've already got understood," sighs Clarity. "How could you tell I was lost?" She hadn't been exactly panicking.
"You were walking and looking around you in a way that I recognized as lost. If you walk between those buildings there, continue on for a while, and then turn right after you pass the cafe, you'll find yourself in sight of the main street," she says.
