Breakfast - Warm rain

>... You are Shimmer Light.
>You don't know where you are.
>You're bundled up in a lot of clothing, that's for sure.
>Fantastic, your mind isn't catching up with your body.
>Your eyes focus on the wall you're leaning against.
>No, wait, that's actually the floor.
>There's something else underneath you.
>... Where are you?
>What happened...?
>Wait, you remember now.
>Presumably last night, you had a difficult time getting home due to an intense storm.
>Then Hexferry brought you inside... somewhere...
>Is this her house?
>If it is, you should be able to see your home through a window.
>Luckily, there's a window in your line of sight.
>... The only thing you can see is rain.
>It's brighter than when you were out, but it still isn't bright.
>The rain is only slightly less than before.
>Great...
>You take in a deep breath and try to move yourself to stand.
>Your legs feel like they're made of lead.
>"Oh, you're finally awake."
>Okay.
>That didn't startle you at all.
>Nope.
>Though your body didn't shake in the slightest.
>Your heart is racing, but your body didn't even react.
>Even in disadvantageous circumstances, you can still perform perfectly.
>... Wait, that voice seemed incredibly close.
>Did you land on her?
>Has she been stuck under you this whole time?
>How long were you out?
>... It's time to get up.
>You roll yourself more onto your legs.
>Well, you're probably not on Hexferry anymore.
>You're... almost in a kneeling position now.
>... After a bit of struggling, you raise yourself to stand upright.
>Hexferry is next to you; she just stood up as well.
>"Are you okay?"
>She's still concerned.
>Of course you're okay.
>You're perfect.
>She waits only a few seconds for an answer, then nonchalantly walks past you.
>Your eyes follow her and...
>She walks into a dining room/kitchen mix of a room.
>You follow her in.
>... Wait, you need to stop paying attention to her. You can't just...
>... You have no choice.

>You can't just leave.
>You can't just ignore her in her house.
>... You don't have the energy to make it home before you get drenched.
>Even though your house is next door, you can't make it.
>It's sad, really.
>... Hexferry has pulled a few things from various cabinets and the refrigerator and set them on the table.
>The round table has thirteen chairs around it.
>Exactly thirteen.
>You've counted several times in the span of ten seconds.
>... You take a few steps forward.
>Hexferry seems to have everything she was looking for now.
>The table has various fruits, cereals, vegetables, breads, peanut butters, jellies, milks...
>She has more food on this table than you usually have in your house.
>She walks over to the chairs you're closest to and puts a few things at them.
>Bowls, plates, spoons, forks, butter knives, cups...
>Well, it seems you're going to eat breakfast.
>Choices, choices...
>As a finishing touch, Hexferry pulls out a chair and offers you the seat.
>... You really wish you had some pride left in you.
>Grudgingly, you sit.
>She takes a seat next to you.
>Great...
>She looks at you with a warm smile.
>"So, what do you want?"
>You look over the assortment of foods.
>... Actually, the only thing here you can have is milk.
>"Oh, I'm sorry, can you eat solid food?"
>... You're being incredibly easy to read.
>You shake your head.
>You ate solid food all the time when you were a filly, but now...
>You just... can't.
>"I can make you a fruit smoothie, if you'd like that."
>You slowly nod your head.
>This is pathetic.
>She flutters over, picks up some fruit and flies over to the counter.
>You can see a blender.
>"What do you want in it?"
>... You sigh in defeat.
"Whatever..."
>You're a pathetic sight to behold.
>She quickly prepares a few things and puts them in.
>Strawberries, bananas, pineapple...
>Hexferry, however, isn't done. She grabs the coconut milk from the table and pour a bit into the mix as well.

>She puts the lid on the blender and starts it up.
>While your smoothie is blending, she sets herself up with a bowl of Honeycombs.
>She casually walks over to the blender, shuts it off and pours the contents into a glass.
>She flutters over to your side and gives it to you.
>... If you weren't so dead for energy...
>You move the scarves out of the way and bring your nose to the glass.
>... It smells heavenly.
>Slowly, your tongue snakes out of your mouth and into the smoothie.
>Hexferry is staring at you.
>Of course she is, she wants to know if you like it.
>You take a sip.
>...
>It...
>It's really good...
>It's better than most things you've ever made.
>Every flavor mixes perfectly together.
>Genius.
>... She...
>You'll have to make it in your free time so you can feel better about yourself.
>Your ego died in the mud last night.
>... Sad.
>You glance over at Hexferry.
>She's smiling and eating her Honeycombs.
>Knowing your luck, you showed some sign of liking it.
>You really hate everything right now.
>If it wasn't raining so hard, you'd go home, flop on your bed and call the day a failure.
>"So... Aren't you hot in all those layers?"
>...
>The rest of breakfast was spent mostly in silence.
>Hexferry asked a few questions and you nodded or shook your head to respond.
>She took the empty glass from you and put it in the sink with her bowl and spoon.
>It took her a while, but she cleared the table as well.
>You went back to the entrance room and sat in front of the window.
>Your home is so close, but the rain would easily stop you.
>... It isn't raining as hard as it was.
>"Is there anything else I can do for you?"
>You just continue to stare out the window.
>...
>Eventually, the rain dies down to a reasonable level, and you get up to leave.
>Hexferry wishes you well.
>You open the door and...
"... Thank you..."
>You really hope she doesn't save you next time.
