Remember my terrible experience with carving back when I tried it on the arrowhead.
"Okay maybe you should do it…
It's a tune. Here."
Show him the music paper with the tune I wrote for the occasion.
"Just the first stanza of course, it's a symbolic think more than anything else."

As you leave the forge, you see one of the female cadets looking up at Burning's window.
>>344992
He reads it over
"You need to work on your rhymes.
But very well."
He grabs a carving tool
"My writing may be a little messy though. I'm a smith, not a calligrapher."

You bump into one of the assistant cooks
"Hey! Cadet! What are you doing here?"
>>344998
"Sure he is. I can hear it from your tone.
Well, no need to say names. What is the mark?"

Everypony is busy so… maybe I can go check out the medical wing of the academy? Search for ponies that know a lot about healing magic?

"Until I get further details about the original deal from Tinmint, I won't have all the information I need to help him properly in the matter, since if I just go beat on Platter for this, Tinmint will likely get beaten himself."

The serene garden you have built for yourself.
You know it.
You care for it.
And it serves you obediently.
Then, with a thundering roar, the very tidal wave of power that first gave you your cutie mark returns. It slams into you, sweeping you along for a wild ride, washing away every semblance of calm in your magical place of self-discovery.
Somewhere outside this domain, you can hear the panicked shouting of a stallion.
But that is elsewhere.
This is your realm.
And it is under siege. From within.
And you must now calm it. And master this storm.

And there, in the middle of a friendly tussle between cadets, two young mares found that special spark poets and bards have written of since times immemorial.
Warm bodies press against one another, and after the slightest, magical moment of hesitation, feeling the breath of the other softly tingle on your lips, you kiss for the first time.
At first, it is all skittish and careful. barely touching lips. Scared it may offend. That you may do something wrong.
But those fears soon give way to passion born purely from a loving heart.
Time stands still as you experience for the first time this intoxicating rush of emotions that has been a muse to more works than war, wealth and devotion put together. The fear of the unknown. The excitement of discovery. The arousing tingle of attachment. The sheer physical pleasure of sensitive parts touching.
Though it is simple, it is pure in its simplicity. Like a perfect, white flower, blossoming into its full glory for the first time. And what a first time it is.
You may not know it, but many ponies can go their entire lives and never feel a kiss this perfect.
You should be proud.
So very, very proud.
Enjoy it.

And there, in the middle of a friendly tussle between cadets, two young mares found that special spark poets and bards have written of since times immemorial.
Warm bodies press against one another, and after the slightest, magical moment of hesitation, feeling the breath of the other softly tingle on your lips, you kiss for the first time.

I'll smile a bit at Star.
"It's nothing serious or life-threatening, though, so it shouldn't take but so long."

Balsawood grins and nods

Burning looks a little surprised. Pleasantly.

"Now I need to get some measurements. Don't mind me.
If you want to speed things along, I will also need your own statement about what results you desire from the procedure. So you can write those down, or just tell them as I work. Is that ok?"

"You really are a piece of work. It's only the most known story of this academy in the circles.
Well I'll try to keep it short and not use too many big words for you.
Highfanks was a promising paladin who by his third year had seen every place in this school, with or without permission. All but one. The Headmaster's Collection. Said to be the place where he stored his most legendary artifacts he trusted nobody but himself with. But Highflanks, through hard work and determination found the path to it, solved the locks protecting it, and entered.
The next day he was reported dead, and the faculty refused to speak of how he died.
They say the Headmaster killed him in person."

There is certainly nothing wrong with thickness, smell or taste. Seems better than last time.
