Your Majesty:
I hope you will forgive my previous misunderstanding; I was under the impression that your desire to know of my activities stemmed from an official capacity of some sort, and that our correspondence was thus intended to be included in official records about my past and current involvement in incidents germane to the wellbeing of your subjects. I therefore endeavored to keep my subjective evaluations of my situation to a minimum.
That said, your speculation that I am having problems dealing with ennui is quite correct. I find myself to be quite listless when Pinkie is working, and often my only company consists of the defanged alligator she keeps as a pet. Occasionally, the Cakes’ two young foals stray into her room as well. I would repeat my opinions about the pair, but current social mores apparently hold that to voice those opinions would not be in good taste. For similar reasons, I shall refrain from commenting on our landlords’ parenting methods.
Yet, even with these intermittent distractions, I still find the waiting to be quite dull overall. I had originally thought this would not be a problem, having spent one thousand years in isolation on the moon. But in retrospect, those years were not as isolated as I first thought, as I always had the option of interacting with you, even though at the time we could not be properly thought of as “friends.” A co-conspirator, it seems, is better than nopony at all.
Pinkie Pie has suggested that I request your advice. Given that your experience with boredom is the same as mine, I am not certain how this will prove fruitful, but she seems quite adamant on the matter, so I shall comply. If you have any insights or recommendations concerning this matter, I shall gladly accept them.
Yours sincerely,
Penumbra Noctis
