Let's ask to borrow the diamond dog book and an easier to understand magic book for some light reading before bed or on the train and then head home. Moonflower should be done and we can all have dinner together before trying to convince Honorshine of a fun sleepover again.

Moonflower (Herbalism): 16 + 5

As the light of the setting sun emblazes the room a deepening orange, you decide that you've done enough reading for now. You put the confusing book away, and grab the one about diamond dogs that caught your eye earlier.

After quickly flipping through the pages, you catch a glimpse of some very informative biological illustrations, and figure that you'll have to borrow it for later.

Honourshine: "Good idea. I think I saw something on the Kirin Empire earlier... Ah, there it is. Let's check these out, shall we?"

You nod, and proceed to the librarian's desk. While Plume notes down your information, you ask him if he knows a book somepony like you could read to learn more about spellcasting. Wordlessly, he uses his magic to float a tome from one of the shelves and onto your short stack of borrowed books.

You get "Of Dogs and Diamonds", and "Spellcasting 101"!

You thank Plume for his help, and with the books secured in your sidereal bags, you head outside into the evening sunlight.

When you arrive home, you find Moonflower's rump sticking out of the kitchen cupboard as she organizes her freshly brewed potions in a cacophony of clinking bottles. You greet her with some nuzzles, and ask what she's been up to.

Moonflower: "Welcome back! I made all kinds o' cool stuff. Lemme show you!"

Honourshine looks on curiously as the bat pony places a few of the colourful supplies onto the countertop. Then, one by one, the young herbalist holds up each bottle.

Moonflower: "First, we got this one! When you drink it, it makes you super strong, but then you get tired faster. I think ya got the stamina to use it, though! Heehee..."

Honourshine: "Hm. I bet he does."

Moonflower: "This one makes you invisible when ya drink it! It doesn't last super long, and it only works if you're naked, but maybe it can save us some trouble if we gotta sneak around again."

You remark that having the option to avoid a fight could indeed be useful, especially if unarmoured.

Moonflower: "Yuh uh! Ooh, this one's glowy! And it makes you glow when ya drink it, too. It's kinda like the opposite of the other one."

Honourshine: "Creative. Still, a source of light is always good to have."

Moonflower: "If ya want, this one's more subtle. It makes you see in the dark, kinda like I do! Blazer already had one of those, so I used it to learn how to make more."

You nod. Perhaps now that you have more than one, you won't hold back from using them.

Moonflower: "This one makes you super sticky! You can use it to climb on walls and stuff, but it's probably real bad for best-friendly stuff. If ya get stuck, it's for a whole hour!"

Honourshine: "Don't give him ideas."

Moonflower: "Heehee! I also made a bunch o' regular stuff. We got health potions, magic potions — 'cause ya got a horn now —, and some antidotes and remedies here."

You get 6 Antidotes, 3 Draughts of Invisibility, 6 Elixirs of Night Vision, 3 Eye Drops, 6 Health Potions, 3 Magic Potions, 3 Remedies, 3 Tinctures of Overstrength, 3 Tonics of Adhesion, and 6 Tonics of Bioluminescence! You keep them stored in the kitchen's cupboard for now.

You thank Moonflower for making all of these supplies for your party.

Honourshine: "In a single afternoon, no less..."

Moonflower: "I had fun makin' 'em! How 'bout'cha? Did ya have fun at the library?"

You nod, and say that while you didn't find all of the answers you went in looking for, you did learn a few things in the end. Plus, you brought back some prime reading material for later.

Honourshine: "Something about... dogs, was it?"

Moonflower: "Oooh! Maybe you can figure out how to make 'em wanna—"

You ask your friends what they'd like to have for dinner!

Moonflower: "Heeheehee! The weather's kinda nice, maybe we can get somethin' light from Sungrain Fields, or have a lil' picnic behind the house."

Honourshine: "I agree on something light. As for what: that's your call, Blaze."
