Emerald scarfs down the potatoes. He just realized that he never ate anything at the party and then came straight to Hope's place and proceeded to have quite the workout.

Hope giggles and says, "My goodness Delilah, he sure seems to like your cooking.

Delilah smiles towards the pair, and then goes back to washing the dishes from the meal.

Emerald, through a mouth stuffed with potato, asks what Hope's plans are for the day.

"Oh, like I said I'm just going to go to Ponycare. It's probably going to be a boring, paperwork kind of day." She groans, "Then I'll probably come back here. Were you thinking of staying over tonight as well?"

Emerald stops eating for a second and nods enthusiastically. Hope smiles and blushes slightly, and Delilah says, "I'll make sure to pick up some extra food then!"

Emerald then asks about the library nearby.

"Oh, yes! It's actually pretty close!" Hope says, then takes the time to explain where exactly it is from Hope's house, and it seems pretty close. Once this is done the mare says, "You enjoy reading a lot, don't you?"

Emerald beams and agrees with that statement.
