She looked down at little Aqua with a smile. The little filly was curled up, laying against Sunny's side. Sunny rubbed Aqua with her wing. With her wing dwarfing the little one, sunny did little more than twitch her wing. Little Aqua had a little smile on her face. She looks so content. Sunny glanced down at the book in front of her. She had been reading it to pass the time. Sure, she may have read every book in the library, but she enjoyed going through some stories again. This specific book detailed a pony, by the name of Metallic Sparkle, and his short adventure in making a magical alloy. It was, of course, a different and embellished version of the truth. It was still enjoyable.

Sunny closed the book with her hoof before looking back down to Aqua with a smile. Her little twitches here and there responded feebly to her dreams. Her nose scrunched up too, only to be conquered by a scratch from her little hoof. Simply adorable. It had been the first time Sunny had seen Aqua while she slept. Her previous experiences had all been while Aqua was practising or interacting with others. Quite a contrast from her awake self. I almost like her more like this. "I almost envy you, you know..." Sunny whispered more to herself than to the filly. "You have no major responsibilities yet. Nothing to cloud your sight nor worry your mind..." Her smile faded. "And then I remember your past... You, little Aqua, have your own weights. I only wish I could help beyond being here... Though I suppose the orphanage is a good start..." Sunny closed her eyes and lost herself to her thoughts.

After some time, Sunny opened her eyes and looked down at the filly. A smile blossomed alongside drooping eyes. Sunny leaned down and nuzzled Aqua. "You're making me sleepy, you little rascal..." She opened her eyes once more and shuffled her book away. Sunny curled her long neck on the floor around the filly. "And I'm okay with that..." Sunny let herself be taken by dreams with a content smile on her muzzle.
