Blabber from the Blinded
"Hey Sunny, do you know anyone who might know any divination or scrying spells? I... remember you said you know a lot about magic so you'd probably know or know someone who does?"
"While I am sad to say I cannot cast anything with these wings I am aware of a vast amount of spells and their schools."
"Oh, actually! Real quick, I wanted to ask since you're somehow experienced with magic-" Aqua tilted her head to the side and faced Sunny for the next phrase, "Which I also want to ask you about that at some point, by the way- Is suddenly being tired after using magic a good or bad thing? Like mainly exerting yourself fully, or at least what feels fully. Sore horn and all that."
The tall pegasus giggled. "While being made exhausted by using excessive mana is quite normal, it isn't normal for it to make you tired enough to fall asleep..." Sunny looked up and tapped a hoof to her chin. Perhaps her age?
"Well, I'm young and all that, so..." Aqua trailed off before shaking her head quickly. "A-anyway, about the sore horn?"
Sunny tilted her head. Hm... "Indeed... The sore horn is normal, though it is not recommended. For reasons as I am sure you learned, and the fact that exerting it excessively stresses the bone. Straining it likely will cause it to be sore for around a day. Longer, if it was really exerted."
The filly hummed audibly. "That's interesting... and weird. 'Cause my horn stopped being sore as soon as I woke up from the nap and I only slept for something like two hours? I think. Cotton doesn't really have a watch on her. Oh, I can probably also continue to play around then." Aqua then took out one of the magic-resistant balls from... somewhere and started to make it hover beside her.
Where did she..? The adult shook her head before she tapped her chin with a wing. "That is curious..." That makes sense. Sunny left Aqua to her thoughts as her ears perked and she scanned the common room. Which filly is it..? Roguh Thud... Looks to have taken a tumble... Sunny spotted a navy blue unicorn mare headed towards the crying filly. Looks like Clear Water will comfort her. The pegasus nodded to herself.
"Hey, Sunny?" Aqua was no longer holding up the ball as it shuffled between her front hooves as she looked nervous. "Did you go to the school? The uh... the princess' school."
"While Celestia owns many schools, I imagine you are talking about the one named Clestia's School for Gifted Unicorns? I believe you are going there soon, correct?"
Aqua blushed and faced away, "Uh, yeah. And, well, when you put it that way, that wasn't a very smart question, was it?"
Sunny lightly laughed and covered her mouth with a wing. "I did not go there, though I did teach a few classes there once upon a time."
Aqua blinked. "Oh."
"I do not think I would be allowed to become a student there... I learned with the use of tutor and friend."
"Oh..." Aqua blinked again. "Well, that answers my earlier question I suppose..."
Sunny looked down at her hooves.
"Hey, Sunny? Uh... I-..." The filly clicked her tongue. "This uh... This whole thing is going to sound weird, no matter how I word it. Does the uh... Does the word reverent mean anything to you?"
Sunny quirked an eyebrow. "That... That is certainly a question, Aqua."
Aqua's head and ears were leaning to the side. "I- uh... I hope it is?"
Sunny giggled. "It is..." The pegasus then sighed deeply. "The world means many things to me... It can mean respect, it can mean love, it can mean holiness in some regards, though, it can also mean isolation..."
Aqua had a light smile on her face. "Okay, so while this is going to be awkward, it isn't as awkward as it could have been..."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you work in the castle, right?" Aqua furrowed her browns and looked down. "Pretty certain Solid said that..." The filly shook her head, "Anyway, I wanted to ask you about Celestia- the princess. So, you know about my magical troubles-. Sorry to go on another tangent in the middle of another tangent," The filly giggled, "But apparently, it got worse again... Well, more like what was happening a while ago developed into this, or rather, was this. We just didn't know it at the time." The filly shook her head.
Sunny giggled.
"Anyway, so apparently Celestia gave a... I think the specific word used was tip about the condition. She's sup- uh, old and all that, so she must have some knowledge about it. I'm just wondering why she's got me in her sights... I know Cotton said that a blind kid is like extremely rare, but I don't really think that'd be enough to garner a qu- monarch's attention... Especially if I'm a commoner or whatever."
Hm... Perhaps..? No. "I have not met her as most of my time is spent in my office. Mostly writing paperwork is not an enjoyable job, but it must be done."
The filly clicked her tongue. "Aw. Darn."
"I merely said I had not met her..." Sunny stifled a smirk. "Living in the castle has given me a good amount of knowledge about her... It has been... enlightening..."
"Oh. Okay, then. I bet you know tonnes of rumours then." Aqua smirked at the pegasus. "At least, based on how you phrased that last sentence. I wanted to ask you about her. I know you actually asked me about her a while ago, but I wanted to ask the question earlier just to be certain... Mainly cause you're the only one I've heard actually say her name outside of a lecture. Everyone always says The Princess, rather than her actual name. So I wanted to ask, does she often focus on random people and is she actually really nice? 'Cause I'm not gonna lie, I'm... a little concerned... And maybe frightened, if she really is as powerful as everyone says."
Sunny nodded and stifled a laugh. "Of what I have heard, she loves foals... I believe the reason is due to the fact that they are not scared to act like themselves around her..."
Aqua nodded. "Yeah, I guess that makes sense..."
"And finally, you are here due to her help, are you not? This building is directly financed and managed by her."
"Yeah, I guess that's fair... Though, I don't know... It just feels weird, having someone important looking at you, I guess."
"I suppose I can understand that. While I have not had someone looking out for me in a long time, it is rarely good to deny the help..." Sunny looked down.
"Yeah... That's true. As weird as it is... Oh," Sunny felt Aqua lean into her side, and as she looked, the pegasus saw a mischievous smile, "And don't think I didn't catch that. Don't be out there giving advice to strangers if you don't follow them yourself. Don't forget to take care of yourself too, Sunny."
Once more she shows wisdom beyond her years. Sunny's face grew a smile. "Very well. You speak with wisdom."
Aqua closed her eyes and pointed her nose up at the ceiling. "Oh, I always speak with wisdom. I always do. Even when I'm not." She opened her eyes and stared at Sunny. "Well? Hows about it?" The filly reached a hoof straight out with the hoof facing upwards. "You sound like you need a friend... I know you might be going on a date with Solid at some point, but hey, ain't no problem with having more friends."
Sunny stared at Aqua's hoof. The smile didn't leave her face. Very well. She put a hoof on top of the filly's miniature hoof. "I believe I shall have to take you up on that offer."
Aqua smiled. "There ya go, Sunny."

Adopt her already sunny
Neptune, always liked how it sounded. Uranus has been corrupted too much in people's bad jokes.
uranus, because it is on its side (tilted at 97.77 degrees)

They definitely are getting close to each other...

I only very recently learned that the distance from Earth to Saturn is the same distance as Uranus to Saturn. While I have always been a fan of space and related things, I'm surprised I never understood the distances. Not that the human brain can really comprehend distances like that.
The ice giants are cool in my book.

I think I actually managed to forget that. Thanks for making me remember! I'm surprised it's so close to exactly on a right angle. Even the Earth's angle, which sits around 23.44 degrees off of a Cardinal direction, is three times as misaligned compared to that.
Wait i cant remember. Is Sunny just Sunny or is Sunny Celestia? And if Celestia is Sunny, is she always Sunny, or only Sunny when shes in Fillydelphia?
Great uploads recently have loved reading all of these.
Uranus definitely. When I can choose Uranus I always choose Uranus. So it's Uranus for me.
I actually choose Venus but Uranus is too funny
Surprise no family has adopted her yet. Unless Celestia did? I’ll choose all planets 🪐
All caught up again! It's been really nice to read all these new chapters, and I can't wait to see what happens in the future! And super cute scene with "Sunny" and Aqua, I think they're both very good for each other. Aqua needs someone to be there for her and take care of her, while "Sunny" could really use a friend after so much time "alone". I really hope "Sunny" adopts little Aqua
Aqua making friends with Sunny is heartwarming. Very wholesome moment.
I'm gonna go with Neptune, I have a good feeling about it. Also, whoo-hoo! Day 6 baby! Picking up some momentum.
Uranus or Neptune, the sky or the sea, hmmmm.
I'll have to go with Uranus, ocean deities are just too fickle and temperamental for my taste.
(As you can see, I took it in a different direction
)
Depending on your climate warm water is quite pleasant.
Neptune is good.
Neptune
Neptune, because the sea is way better than war
Wait, mars is war. Neptune, because I forget what uranus is

Sunny hasn't been confirmed either way, to my knowledge.
And thanks. I'm considering taking a day break to get more ideas for chapters, as I'm running out of ideas to use between significant chapters or in those chapters.
11682594
A vote for the behind.
It really is funny.
11682601
While it is a little weird that she hasn't, I can see one with her disability not getting adopted easily, if at all.
With a family adopting, they could be going for the whole 'let's make their life as easy as possible,' and might adopt her just to make her life easier, or parents could be doing it because they want a 'good' kid that they can literally pick.
Plus, imagine it from a potential adopter's perspective: If you want a child, do you want them to require assistance with things you never did nor ever will?
It's sad.
11682622
Thanks for reading, my friend.
Hm.
Yeah, both of them could definitely use some good company. Especially with what little we've heard from Sunny's life.
11682624
That interaction was very nice to write.
I mentioned it in another comment, but I'll very likely take a day break from the current everyday schedule to brainstorm more. I could write more chapters, though I feel it is required for higher quality.
11682704
I like the direction. Gods and what they can represent have always made for interesting plot points or ways to personalize a world and make it unique.
11682866
Darn, my plan has backfired. What ever shall I do?

Sorry to respond to all your comments at once, but I'm glad you're enjoying the story.
With character interactions, I value realism beyond much else. At least, in a slice-of-life story. That is what the focus of them is supposed to be, to my knowledge. That and having a glimpse into another world.
Aqua has been going through the wringer and I feel it has been dragged out due to my historically very slow updating schedule...
There is still much to do.

Uranus is, according to Google, a god of the heavens and sky as well as a symbol of masculinity.
