Lily smiled slightly as Dagger began to move. Truthfully, it would be somewhat easier to move along now, the sound of multiple sets of hoofsteps moving together was far easier to pick up that just one. Plus, with a group this large, she doubted anyone would remain in their path; making the situation a great improvement on the previous arrangement. At least in theory, she thought as the others turned their attention to Ink Soul, idly chatting with the stallion. Lily admittedly didn't get an opportunity to talk to ponies other than her grandfather outside the business setting. Don't get her wrong, the ponies who visited were always quite polite and friendly, they merely weren't exactly there for a social visit and acted as such. As the two stallions discussed Ink Soul's writing, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy. The worst part was she knew exactly why, at least partially. There was nothing she could add to their chat, nothing she could pipe in to make this bit of social activity somewhat memorable. On top of that, she would never really know what to say even if she tried to participate. Lily had just learned to read when she had accident. Learning braille... well that had been an endeavor all it's own; one she still felt hadn't truly been worth the time since there were precious few books to be found in the special text. Whatever Ink Soul had written would elude her lest she could find someone to read it off to her, something she was far too embarrassed to ask anyone, even her grandfather, to do. There was a rustle and the conversation changed subjects, something about a 'good eye'. Again, another conversation to pique her irritation. Still, the change was enough to rescue the earth filly from the deep depths of her thoughts. Lily realized she'd been pouting and quickly let her smiling facade retake it's comfortable position on her face. She didn't want to worry those around, they were making her trip to the city's edge more manageable by coming along after all. Lily simply trotted on, staying close to Dagger's side, and hoped those around her had missed the slip.
