[SR] - “They asked me if we had any books to do with... um.... Cutie Marks...”

[L] - “Really?”

[SR] - “Before I could ask, the unicorn elaborated on a specific book they’re looking for. Really quite special. A beautifully bound book with a sun on it?”

[SR] - “Oh! And it was brown leather bound, by the way.”

[L] - “(whew) I don’t think we have any of those.”

[SR] - “We- we don’t. When I said that, I also really upset her. I said something to the effect of, ‘Why would we need to waste space with useless books about that?’”

Flashback, [TL] - “HOW DARE YOU?!!”

Flashback, [MP] - “Calm down. Can we please focus.”

Flashback, [MP] - “Trixie. It’s time to go.”
