"Aren't the orators that go around shouting 'I got these wounds by defending the State, this eyes was lost for your sake, now pay attention to me, as my severed knuckles do not allow me to stand for long' moved by the same forces of wrath? At least they would tolerable, if they actually taught eloquence and history. But, no, they just bring their pupils beyond the Ethereal spheres with just their heads! As soon as they go to do their jobs, they start to fill everything they say and do with empty air and pointless bells! Everything the young ones learn is nothing current, but either tyrants enslaving all the lower society with an edict, or cures to plagues involving virgins that get burned to death and then used as flour in Princess Celestia's cakes; bullshit, sometimes sugarcoated with the honey of the words, sometimes with the pepper and poppy seeds of the quotes. Who feeds his mind with these things cannot become anymore wiser than a cook can smell."
The recent new Princess of Equestria did not allow this unknown shouted to go any further, and she said while trying to shrug him off with a flutter of her wings "That... was something, sir, but I think you have me at loss. Also, would you kindly respect my personal space?"
"But, Highness, it is in your interest! You're the Pricness of Knowledge!"
"I'm the Princess of Friendship."
"Whatever, it's the same thing anyways. Also, since, very rare sight indeed, you love the good sense, I will tell you somesecrets of this art that your great knowledge may have overlooked. It's not fault of the teachers, poor sods, because they gotta adapt to what their students want, otherwise, they would teach to empty desks."
Twilight Sparkle pinned the stallion to the train's wall. Noticing a group of ponies getting out from two of the cabins, Twilight used hat opportunity to sneak off to go back to the train cabin where the rest of her cheerful brigade awaited for her.
"Took ya long enough. Where have you been?"
"To the bathroom, Dash, but, on the way here, I got stopped by a weird guy trying to lecture me on education," Twilight said, as she sat down near a book-reading Rarity. Twilight then looked at her red and wooden surrondings, seeing the seats empty "Where is the rest of us?" Twilight asked as she looked at Rarity, who answered "They went to take something to eat in the wagon resturant."
As soon as Rairty said that, Pinkie Pie returned, covered in coal and sweat, but smiling widely.
Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Rarity looked at Pinkie sideways.
Pinkie smiled as he told her story.
"While," she said "I went all around the train without finding the wagon restaurant, a stallion reached me and he offered himself to lead me to the wagon. After making me pass through the baggage area, then he lead me inside the sleeping area. He asked me for money as an old hag awaited atop of a bunk bed, in a wagon full of half-asleep ponies, and, at my refusal to pay, he tried to put his hooves on me, and, if I hadn't been faster and stronger than him, he might have managed to do so. It helps that his mooks were kinda drunk and flopping against the door."
"So, you're saying that you almost got violated?"
Pinkie Pie shrugged.
