Sunset had plastered the notices all over the common room and living quarters last week. They really should take the time to get to know each other, right? The space is looking a little cluttered with various snacks, instruments, and library books, but it's cozy and she likes that.

She's looking a little disheveled when the first few people come back from classes, but she waves at them all the same. Come on in and settle down, everyone, it's just fine! Enjoy your various little snacks, go over your spellwork, complain about schoolwork...it's all good.

"Yeah. Just look at the inspiration all around us! We'll have to really help the girls see what it was like here."

She tried a new tune, this one light and ethereal. It seemed to fit the atmosphere of the room a little better.

"Mm-hmm! I bet Twilight especially would like it here. She'd enjoy some of the classes, I think."

She couldn't help a soft sigh as she thought about their other friends. It was nice making new friends here at the school and all, but she still felt the absence of the other girls.

"Maybe she'll join us someday? But I hope they're safe, wherever they are."

She reaches out for Fluttershy's arm. "But we've got each other, right?

[shiningkindness]

She nodded. "Me too." Then, glancing at Sunset, she smiled, placing her own hand on top of hers. "Mm...that's true. I'm really glad you're here."

[burningbrighter]

"Yeah. So..."

She's content to sit quietly with her for a few minutes more, then grins and sits back.

"Learn anything exciting lately?"

[shiningkindness]

"...Oh! I did get something pretty interesting," she said, excited as Ballet brings her bag over. Reaching into it, she pulls out a book to show to Sunset: Intimation and Communication: The Fine Line Between Learning and Dictating.

"Professor Mala let me borrow it, and said I might be able to find a technique in here that will help me communicate with animals."

Sunset gives it a look, eyes bright with interest. It'd be nice for Fluttershy to have her magic back.

"That's great, Fluttershy! I'm always wondering what's going on in their heads."

[shiningkindness]

With a bright smile of her own, she nods. "I know, right? Especially here, with all the different kinds of creatures and familiars! I'm planning to read this book and study it as best I can, and then maybe put a note on the bulletin board to see if other people and their familiars would be okay letting me try out some of the techniques I find. Ballet already said it was all right, but I want to test it out on all different sorts if I can."
