She takes off with a woosh of air, leveraging her trained speed for something other than show. A moment later she returns with a leafy branch in her teeth. How did she even spot that in the dark? She drops it in her hoof, “Ok I need you to wipe the dirt off with your shirt and hold them out.” You resist the urge to say ‘yes ma’am,’ you didn’t honestly think her plan was going to help much, but you also didn’t want to be patronizing. She was trying to help you and the last thing you wanted to do was embarrass her for it. Besides, it’s really heartwarming to see her so concerned.
