Description:
Emerald asks what Ruby and Lady Elegance ended up doing.
“We just sort of walked around and talked. Did you know she was a great warrior? She told me a bunch of war stories and stuff!”
Ruby talks about Elegance a little longer, and Emerald smiles. He his happy she at least had a good time. Emerald asks what Ruby wants to do, and she shrugs.
Emerald suggests more reading, and Ruby taps her chin a bit before shrugging again and deciding to do it.
Ruby does seem to be making some progress, but he feels like she could be learning faster. It certainly didn’t take him so long to learn to write… Though he guesses it is her first writing system. Emerald remembers how easy it was to go from Pony to Fancy, since they both originated from Old Equus.
Ruby asks Emerald how to pronounce something, breaking him out of his reverie. He looks down, but can barely read the book. It’s at this point the colt realizes it’s getting close to sundown, and they are running out of light. Emerald suggests getting a lantern or something, but just as he does bony forelegs begin popping out of the ground all around them.
Emerald has a brief moment where he realizes that the zombie villagers must be waking up, but it’s cut short from a rather loud scream from Ruby, who takes off running blindly. Emerald gives chase, but loses her as she enters the church.
