(“Our societies are not comparable, and you assume too much. You assume I attribute friendship to your land’s peace and high social cohesion. I do not. I attribute it to a fortunate and plentiful homeland; to your powerful racial abilities of strength, flight, and sorcery; to a strong military presence enforcing peace and cohesion within and beyond your land; to the intrinsic herd mentality within all equine beings. The most important factor I have observed is the presence of an immortal caste of demigod rulers, combining all of the racial traits of ponykind into one being: the ultimate foundation upon which your cohesion may be built. Unto my observations, your ‘friendship’ is a simple consequence of these symbiotic factors.”)
