<p>Perytons cannot fly, my dear Blueberry Blossom. We do have wings and we can glide, but we’re a lot like flying squirrels. We need some height (and a good stiff breeze helps, too!) but we just don’t have the muscle for it. Ever seen a fat deer? It looks funny. Plus, we’d have to compete with Pegasus ponies!</p>

<p>I see all sorts of things in my travels, from interesting ponies to unusual things. I did see on my recent leg of my trip to Hoofington a strange little structure on the side of the road. I’m not sure what it was for, but it looked like a little house with a bunch of candles in it. There was a sign but I couldn’t read what it said. I think it was some kind of lamp post, but I’ve never seen one like it before and there was just the one. It was so pretty, I had to stop and look at it for a little while. I don’t suppose you might know what it was?</p>

<p>I usually have to stick to travelling at night, though, I’m still not used to crowds of ponies or even being seen, so it’s natural to keep to the trees. Though I can see ahead that I’ll be crossing a lot of grasslands, so I suppose I’ll have to bite the stick and come out. The folks in Hoofington seemed to be alright, so far so good! My next destination appears to be Roam, according to the signs.</p>

<p>This letter was unexpected! It arrived by another pegasus pony, one I guess must have been a friend of the one who delivers my letters to the Princess.</p>

<p>Aww, you think I’m adorable? That’s sweet of you to say! I’m just an old deer. But thank you for your kind letter, you sweet self!</p>
