3rd Prophecy; Video

[notmyprophecy]

 

[The view is of a black cat, with green eyes and a rather pleased expression on her face. The cat that got the cream? Yeah that's how Hollyleaf looks. She has the scars she gained as a human, but they're less noticeable, with her fur. The D-Terminal appears to be propped up against something, because she sits before it, most of her body visible.] Alright, it's been a few days and nothing new. If this world's finally got it right, I'm willing to forgive it for a lot of things. Good to see fellow non-Twolegs are enjoying this too.

Yes...

Yes, it's admirable to be a warrior, that's true. Warriors do a lot for the Clan.

...Are you all right...?

[video]

[notmyprophecy]

...

Sorry. I don't think I want to talk about this anymore.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Oh...all right...

I'm...sorry if I...said anything to offend you...

[video]

[notmyprophecy]

...You didn't. It was nothing you did. I promise. Ah... here, we've been talking so much and I don't even know your name. I am Hollyleaf.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

It's nice to meet you. I-I'm...Fluttershy.

[video]

[notmyprophecy]

Your name fits you.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiles; it's not the first time she's been told that, but she's never really sure how to answer.]

Thank you...

[notmyprophecy]

Clan cat names usually name their kits meaningfully. Your name, more like any other here, sounds like you were named as a Clan cat.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Really? [She'd gotten used to people questioning her name.] Thank you.

Back home, ponies' names also seem significant to a pony's personality.

[notmyprophecy]

What a relief! So many names I've heard... They don't make sense to me. Why wouldn't a name have meaning? Or...maybe they do have meaning, just not the kind I'm used to.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods in understanding.] Mm...They have some...kind of meaning...I think it's based on the language the name comes from.

Nothing straightforward like ours, though...

[video]

[notmyprophecy]

So... Like naming a kit something that means something in badger... [She tries to imagine it. She smiles and, just a little, laughs.] I'll never understand humans.

[Said with some degree of fondness.]

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

[Fluttershy couldn't help giggling a little.] Something like that, I guess.

But they're not all bad, humans...They're just like any other kind of creature you're getting to know, with their own way of doing things that make sense to them and how they live and survive.

[There's a bit of distance in her eyes as she talks, a small fond smile that doesn't seem to be brought about by anything in particular.]

[video]

[notmyprophecy]

[Hollyleaf nods as she speaks and...slowly nods her understanding. As Fluttershy speaks, an expression crosses Hollyleaf's face, one of-- ...something, something amused. Her whiskers twitch.]

Yeah. I like a lot of them too. ...I guess you've made a lot of close friends here, ones that are human.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

[Fluttershy smiles with a nodand if Hollyleaf is insinuating something, she doesn't notice.]

Oh yes...I've met a lot of wonderful people here...

[video]

[notmyprophecy]

[Oh, it's fine. Hollyleaf'll just imply, say nothing else, twitch her whiskers and purr lightly.]

If there's anything good that's come out of this, it's the friends made.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...yes, I agree.
