I went to visit Starswirl today. It's been about three days now, since he was imprisoned. Aside from a few outbursts when he fell asleep on the first day and lost all track of time, he says he's been fine. I tried to give him his journal but he said they'd just take it from him and likely destroy it completely. So I'll be holding onto it until he's released, which he says should be soon. I doubt it.
I brought our daughter to visit. She put a smile on Starswirl's face like I've never seen. It was such a warm smile. Filled with a mixture of beautiful emotions. I'm not quite sure it's something capable of being replecated, which saddens me. It was such a wonderful smile.
We began discussing names, when he blurted out the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. He wants to name her Cookie. Cookie. I mean really, you'd think such an intelligent stallion would put more thought into the name his daughter would bare for the rest of her life. But still, he seems to like the name quite a bit. Perhaps I'll be able to bite my tongue, but I'd prefer Starswirl to change his mind on the matter.
As we discussed further, Starswirl created an addendum to our daughter's potential name: Smart. Smart Cookie. He says he derived it from an idiom quite common among the Earth ponies. I still don't like it.
