From HRH Celestia, RE: Letter 86.2

Dear Anon,

Glad to hear you're well, and that my student is showing... remarkable restraint, all things considered. I'm also pleased both that the hospital is willing to treat Stupid, and able to do so.

If you wish, you may accompany Stupid to the Tower as well, as you are likely the closest thing he(?) (Did we ever establish Stupid was male?) has to a friend right now. Possibly ever. Try to take care of him, alright Anon?

Your friend,
Celestia


To Ponyville General,

I apologize for the general nature of the address but I'm uncertain who this would end up directed to. I would like for the changeling known as 'Stupid' to have a few non-invasive tests done to determine a healthy diet and whether or not it differs significantly from pony tendencies. It occurrs to me that there may have been assumptions involved about what precisely the Elements of Harmony would have considered appropriate dietary needs for a changeling's biology.

I would also appreciate it if Mr. Anon is allowed to visit this changeling, so long as guardpony is present.

Penned by,
HRH Celestia


Dear Stupid,

I'm sorry to hear about your misfortune with the raw cashews - those usually must be cooked to break down certain dangerous substances within. I've asked Ponyville General to provide a few basic tests - noninvasive mind you - to determine what you may safely eat and if it differs from a pony of your approximate age and mass.

As for your name, Anon was kind enough to pass on your preference for your name and while I will not argue it if that is truly your wish, may I make a suggestion you add the second name 'Luck'?

After all, you were born apparently unable to change, and left the hive. You met the single member of a species in the middle of the Everfree Forest - a location rated within the top ten most inhospitable areas on the planet and some of the other contenders are volcanic or are actively prowled by windigos who decided to take you home. You were then accosted with the Elements of Harmony, which apparently decided that you just needed a chance. You then nearly die due to eating something dangerous. Your life seems to be an example of extremes of luck both good and bad.

Wish you well,
Princess Celestia
