Oh, look, it's Hayate. The view from the scroll really only shows her face, almost as if she's deliberately hiding the rest of her body.

"So, uh....hi! Hello, Ponyville, it's great to be seeing you all again, after Tirek and all the...unpleasantness that followed after his defeat and all...You'll note that I didn't get power drained! Couldn't...he couldn't manage that, heh."

An awkward pause, strangely not accompanied by the sound of rustling feathers.

"No, uh, he...he kind of broke both my wings, instead. It'll...it'll be a while before I can fly again."

Hayate moves her scroll out enough to reveal that both her wings are indeed broken.

"...And then, you know, I got turned into something I'm not, not anymore, and...I dunno! I didn't really like being human, because I'm a pony! I'm supposed to be a pony, right?"

Hayate sags a little, even her ears drooping.

"And it's like...all this has been really hard on me, and...I dunno. Anybody feel like having a chat?"

She smiles, a bit bashfully, as she shows the container of soup she'd brought.

"It's...nothing much, really...just some herbs...But I thought, since you should be resting, it'd be nice to have..."

[hattrickery]

Hayate does her best to smile thankfully around the handle of the basket.

[strengthinkindness]

"We can heat it up right now, if you'd like...then I can also make you that tea..."

[hattrickery]

Hayate nods before heading towards the kitchen. Seems like a good idea to her.

[strengthinkindness]

She follows her into the kitchen, then sets about to make the soup.

[hattrickery]

As Hayate sets the basket down and waits, something seems to be weighing on her mind.

"...have you ever...felt like you didn't quite fit in?"

[strengthinkindness]

She blinked, glancing at Hayate curiously at the question.

"I...have, actually..."

First because of being a pegasus who didn't like to fly, then being a not-human-turned-human in another world...even here sometimes, where there was more than one of her.

"Do...you not feel like you fit in?"

[hattrickery]

"I dunno. It feels like...I do fine with most of the townsponies, but...sometimes I feel like I'm separated from the people on the scroll network."

A sigh.

"We're all from such different worlds, I feel like I can't relate sometimes..."

[strengthinkindness]

"Mm..." She nodded in understanding. "I think sometimes...we can't get along with everyone. There's so many different kinds of people, and so many different personalities, it'd be hard to get along with everyone."
