I'm still overwhelmed from the new information I got from Esmeralda over myself.

I always knew that I was a dragon, but that was just about it. Did you know that I didn't grow wings until now because I never wanted any? Dragons can grow and even regrow limbs! I could chop of my claw and let it regrow over a few years. Not that I even want to try that. But if I really wanted to fly, my body would start growing wings. And that is only one new information about my species I got. 

A few other examples are that dragons can get really, really old. Not just a few thousand years, but older. There are dragons even older than the princesses. Or that dragons come in all sizes. If I didn't want to grow bigger, I didn't had to. I made notes on everything. I think I will pick up my idea from back in the day and write the book about dragon anatomy myself.  

She in return asked me, what ponies thought they knew about dragons. Her full belly laugh shook the whole train nearly from the rails when I told her about the sex change part in one of the books I found.

I talked with Esmeralda a lot the past few days, since she was with us. Cadance went up to the roof a few time too, but never for a longer period of time. Even an alicorn feels the cold after a while and she didn't want risk anything that could hurt her foal.

To my utter surprise, Sweetie Belle also went to talk with Esmeralda and she wanted to go alone. "This is a talk from mare to mare", she had said when I had got up to join her. When she came back, she had a little smirk on her lips, gave me kiss as she passed by me and vanished in our cabin, locking the door. I tried to ask her later that day about her talk with Esmeralda, but in the end, both of them told me it was a secret.

At least, the first week of our little journey is over now. Time runs so much faster if you have something to occupy yourself with.
