What is said next can hardly be heard under the poorly kept, dark mane that hides her eyes and face as it droops down towards the ground. Indeed, she has to get asked to repeat it. But what she whispers is the following:

”She said that if you really did pay for the tuition, it was probably so you could prostitute me, or, or, or let you’d friend use me. She says that I should be grateful for her factory wages to help support me.”

bat pony zebra thing is hugged

She leans into the hug, pressing against his fur.

“I think she’s jealous and insecure. She’s afraid you really can provide more help to me than she can. I think she’s projecting her life experiences onto me. But you’re not like that. You’re different, I know.”

Going inside, the booths and tables tend to be white, with red synthetic fiber seats. You must approach the counter to order. Food items are listed on a black chalk board behind the counter, and include things like hayburgers and fries and such.

The stallion is a darker orange, with a reddish brown shortcut mane and yellow eyes. Looking at him closely, he is probably around about 30, though at first glance he looks older. He attempts to place weight on his left foreleg, and tries to raise his right leg above his head. He winces, however, and lowers his right leg quickly, placing his weight on that leg again.
