Nah, usually everypony back in Ponyville is asleep right now! I am too, but there was this task that wanted me to catch these little glowflowers, and the forest is WAY too bright in the daytime to see them, so I took a nap this afternoon so I'd be WIDE awake enough to catch some, and I was trying to pick my sixteenth one when I saw you, and I thought "huh, why's that lady sitting in a circle of dry grass in the middle of the night?" I mean you ARE a lady right; I'm still trying to tell humans apart so if you're a gentlecolt- or a gentleMAN I guess- or both or none of the above let me know! And now we're talking!

[BREATHE, child!]

What are YOU doing out here? And what's your name again?
