Now that I think about it, I must be insane. I do the exact same things over and over again and expect different result. I always thought I was just optimistic. That, or I'm just incredibly stupid.

Uh, hypothetically speaking if both Cadance and Celestia were to hear a pretty depressing story out of earshot, but didn't want to startle a rather powerful pony into attacking, who would lose their cool the quickest to deliver an emergency hug/snuggle/nuzzle?

Good morrow fellow scribes!
If you have read my story, The Magician's Gift, you will know that I have written it, to the best of my ability, in archaic English. If you are not familiar with archaic English (like me!), I have provided the definitions of the terms I used in the story. Get them below the fold.

• An - if
