"What are you reading?" asked Bon Bon.
Lyra didn't look up from her book as she replied, "It's a story about a civilisation that was presumed to be only a myth, suddenly making contact with modern society through a message."
"Sounds interesting," the other mare replied. "What message?"
"I'm not going to give that away." Lyra kept her eyes glued to the page. "But after that, a small expedition is organised to deliver something to the civilisation in question, and also to actually explore their homeland and see what it's like, and report back. The book is mostly about the expedition."
"Huh. Mind lending me that book when you're done?" asked Bon Bon.
"Sure thing." Lyra flipped two pages at once. "It won't take long."
Bon Bon looked somewhat puzzled at the unicorn.
"Yes."
"What?"
Lyra flipped the page again. "Sorry. Yes, I'll prepare dinner for today. You can take a nap if you want to."
"Oh." Bon Bon was a bit surprised that Lyra had guessed she'd be asking about that, but she was mostly happy about the answer. "Thank you," she said.
Lyra flipped another three pages.
Bon Bon's smile cracked a little. Then she took a deep breath, shook her head, and walked away from the unicorn.
A few seconds later, Lyra flipped about five more pages ahead.
