5th Breakfast; Assignment 1, Cutie Marks [visual]

[tookalevelinbadass]

Hello! If any of you ponies could spare a moment to help me with something it would be much appreciated.

I have been attending lessons at the local school, and Miss Cherilee has asked us to talk to other ponies about their cutie marks. These are the questions.

[They appear in writing under his visual message.]

1. What does your cutie mark look like?
2. How or when did you receive your cutie mark?
3. What does your cutie mark represent?

[Pippin blinks then slowly frowns a little]

I also must write about my own experience since I have a mark. Honestly though, I am not sure what it truly means. It's a bird, but I have no special talents relating to birds. Can you help me? I would like to find an answer to this, not only for my work, but so I can tell a certain filly she can no longer compare me to a "blank flank."

[He moves the scroll to make sure his mark is captured in the visual.]

"Only...half. My mother...was a human."

[tookalevelinbadass]

"Then- Then you can escape the fate that Espers face, right?"

[terraburning]

Terra stops for a few moments to actually consider that.

"I...don't know. I am...the only half-Esper ever born."

[tookalevelinbadass]

Pippin tries to smile. "Then the risk is halved. And in the meantime, one must live to their fullest."

[terraburning]

A very serious nod.

"Yes. I will...do my best."

[tookalevelinbadass]

"Do you enjoy song and dance? Or drink and food?" Pippin suggests.

[terraburning]

Terra's brow furrows a bit.

"Song...? Dance...?"

[tookalevelinbadass]

"Yes! Song and dance!" Pippin nods. It hits him after a pause that she seems confused. "Surely you know what I speak of!"

[terraburning]

An uncertain nod.

"I've...seen them. I...don't know...how they...work."

[tookalevelinbadass]

Pippin's eyes go wide. "You've never tried it for yourself?! This must be remedied! Why I'll teach you to sing and dance myself, if you're willing."

[terraburning]

...hmm.

"You must be...very busy, though. I...wouldn't want...to waste your...time."

any interest in making a log for dancing/singing lessons?

[tookalevelinbadass]

"Not at all! Let's arrange a meeting and see to it that this happens," he insists.

Sounds good!

[terraburning]

"If it's...alright, then...yes."
