"What now?" asked Pinkie Pie.
The stalling would have tapped his chin, had he had any free hooves to do so with. Instead he just looked around at the cables in the wall. "No idea."
Pinkie looked between him and the wall. "Do you think I can help somehow?"
"Yes," he replied.
Pinkie asked, "How?"
The stallion stared around and blinked a few times. "No idea. Not yet." He began leaning back and forth, like one would do on a rocking chair. "We're definitely on the right path. We just need to figure out the specifics." 
"It's a bit hard to do when I have no idea what you're seeing," Pinkie said. "If this is meant to be a prank, it's not a good one."
"I would never mock you so," said the stallion. He moved the hoof he held on the wall slightly to the side, then returned it to its original position." It doesn't look like these things slide. Not alone at least." He looked at Pinkie. "Try mimicking my movement."
Pinkie nodded, and she too slid her hoof to the side as the stallion did the same, then returned it once he did as well. "Is it working?"
The stallion shook his head. "Doesn't seem like it." He focused on the corner of the wall. "It ought to have something to do with that, it's the only thing that's changed. Do you think you can reach it with a leg?"
