RutoWell I have an idea precious
*she pets @Cosmos side gently*
Just do this. Sit with her until she’s ready to talk. I mean she’s your friend too right?
Cosmos“@mlp_Ruto you… you’d really want me to be a friend? Even though… even though I’m a monster?”
*nods to @Cosmos *
Yeah. Oh did I tell you? I got into my magic school! In the fall I’m going to be staying in canterlot I think
No I’ll be home on weekends and sometimes during the week. It just won’t be everyday
*she reassures @Cosmos *
“Okay… still… I’m surprised that magic has come this far. Back in my years magic wasn’t anything like this @mlp_Ruto”
“Nope. Just how things were back then @mlp_Ruto. Dinosaurs like me were real beasts back then”
“Imagine what could be done if any pony could harness ancient magic like that @mlp_Ruto”
“Well I was never a strong magic user. That’s why I mostly relied on my jaws, legs and horns to get by. But… maybe you @mlp_Ruto. I may still have some magic inside me.
Imagine what you could do if you could harness it”
“But imagine if you could @mlp_Ruto! Magic is a matter of the mind. I have faith you could succeed where I failed. I can only imagine how wielding even a tiny bit of magic would go a long way. Especially for a gifted student such as yourself.
I don’t want my failure to be the end of ancient magic. As I believe that there is plenty of good it can do for the world still”
“@mlp_Ruto if I’ve learned one thing in my time… life is all about making mistakes. Your young. You’re going to make them. I’ve made them when I didn’t convince my master to change or help snap her back to herself
Mistakes will happen, it’s what we learn from them that’s important”
“So am I @mlp_Ruto. And yet you looked at me… and didn’t scream… don’t run, didn’t see me as a scary monster
I have faith in you Ruto”
*She nuzzles them gently*
“@mlp_Ruto I’ll respect your decision to stay away from it if you so wish. Just thought I’d ask since your quite gifted”
