The zebra bat creature thing is hugged.
When Solar Night hugs her, she presses into him with more strength, and seems to enjoy the contact, as she does not break off until she has to.

Solar Night and Lunar Nadir are not registered for classes, and they have pending tuition payments due soon.
Solar Night needs a class schedule

She stops to look up at him, before scurrying through. It's worth noting that otherwise, she tends to follow just behind him, and usually a little to the right following almost like a dog.

The registration office is actually quite a bit like the admissions office, though a guidance counselor is available for questions about course choices.

She turns to her on a swivel chair. This is in her office, with a window to the hall and the door open

"Hello." She says, smiling awkwardly, both happy and shy

The mare says,
"Well, in the first two years you'll mostly be working on your distribution requirements. Literature, History, a math and a science class, and a humanities and social science. But you'll also want to be working towards a major."

Nadir remains silent, and with a glance of her eyes seems to suggest she wants Solar Night to go first.

"Political Science. Okay, that's a fine major. Well, let's see... okay, there is a higher level course in Equestrian Literature that focuses on legends and myths. Huh. Well that's a Literature class. But it won't count for your distribution requirements. You are allowed to take a higher level course though. Not many, maybe one. I would still advise taking either a history class, math, or art.

She decides she will take Philosophy and Hippology with Dark Star, as well as a class in Chemistry and in Literature. She protests against taking Equestrian History, and asks if she can take a different history class instead. After she is told that she must take two classes in Equestrian History to graduate, she decides to take the class with Solar Night.

“Yes!” Her wings are partly unfolded.

“I don’t know of anyone in my family… not that I have much family, but you know what I mean, who have gone to college. Not many ponies in Del Manantial, or the village, or really even that I know in Baltimare have gone to college. It’s all about going to work at a warehouse or store or something. That’s what I did much of last year. But I wanted to do something more. I didn’t think it could happen because I wasn’t smart enough, I didn’t have good enough grades. My family isn’t established or well respected or anything. But here I am. Here I am.”

"I…oh." It slowly clicks into place. Amber had assumed Mrs. Dahlia was a widow from the shrine and her husband's absence. But if he was a POW, he can be considered to be still alive, and various legal benefits that come with being a widow don't apply.
