Letter Three - Unnamed

Dear Princess Celestia

     I am happy to report that my studies of our anonymous subject continue apace.
The subject has recieved his alloted stipend and begun to spend it with either a casual disregard of its worth or a lack of understanding.
In mitigation of this frivelous spending, most of it is directed towards items not for his own usage or consumption.
Our anonymous guest also percieves debt, for kindness and aid, where amongst p0nies there would be none.
He seems to regard the owing of this debt as a primary concern, to be repaid immediately.
Where this percieved debt cannot be purchased away with offerings, service is instead rendered.
I hypothesise that amongst his kind there is a reluctance to rely on kin and companions, driven perhaps by a fear of being beholden to them.

> "Whoo?"
> "Anonymous, that's wh..." Twilight sighs as she catches herself falling into the old game.
> She ponders the scroll by candlelight at a small desk infront of a small, open window.
> The moon is high in the sky, full, bright and vibrant.
> "He seems nice enough." She taps her chin with the floating quill, "Maybe her just wants to be kind."
> Owloysius looks on impassively.
> "He's friendly. Helpful too... Just...*sigh* It's as if he seems to prefer keeping p0nies at a distance."
> Owloysius seems to consider things for a moment, before scrupiously preening his wing.
> In the distance a singing can be heard carried on the nights cool air.
> Even the deaf would describe it as discordant.
> Twilight leans up and spies in the distance, by the light of the moon, two friends sailing home three sheets to the wind.
> "Anonymous... and Rainbow." She tuts. "Applejack must've had some cider left over... Hmmm."
> "He doesn't mind Rainbow, he's even teaching her songs... Maybe I just need to... arrange things."
> Twilight smiles to herself as she leans back, having reached a decision. "... then he'll have no choice."
> She clops her hooves together in exitement at the potential studies.
> Owloysius, showing the wisdom his kind are reputed for, say's nothing.

     It has become apparent to me that by keeping a distance from the subject and passively observing, I am missing the fine details that this study offers.
Therefore I shall be taking a closer role to facilitate more in depth study.
Additionally, I recommend that the subject be provided with a gradually reducing stipend, to encourage closer interaction with the p0nyville community.
This would also encourage him to display his behaviours when co-dependancy is unavoidable.

Your faithful student
