Zathra trotted over to the library happily. He’d gotten over not being able to date Twilight, and hey, at least both Fenris and Twilight were very happy being with each other.
However, this did raise a point in his mind. Was it still okay to hug her? Was hugging just a friendly gesture they could do? And if hugging /was/ okay, was a friendly nuzzle going to far? Zathra was thinking about this too much, he was friends with twilight, and that’s all he wanted in the first place.
Zathra went back to his previous thoughts, about why he was even going to see her. He hopped she was home today, he was pretty sure she was, but he figured it was better not to get too excited, just in case she wasn’t.
Suddenly he was at her door, and he took a deep breath, gathering his courage before knocking a few times, hopping for an answer.

Twilight trotted happily to the door. She had just been revising some research she did on her little owl friend and his flight. She magic'd open the door to find Zathra, somepony he hadnt expected to see at the door. Nonetheless, it was still nice to see a familiar face.
"Zathra!" She greeted, "What brings you here? Looking for a book? Need something in particular?" She asked. Of course it was fine if he was just visiting too. She wasn't too busy with anything, and it was always nice to see a friend.

Zathra smiled seeing the purple unicorn answer the door, and put out a hoof to greet her, still not sure if hugging was okay.
He had thought about hoe to word it for awhile, so he already knew how he’d ask. “Hey Twilight. Actually…. I had a special favour to ask…. Um… p-please don’t feel at all obligated, but um….you know how I have trouble with magic? I was thinking… maybe you might be able to help me be able to use it properly? Y-you know… since you’re so good at u-using it? I really hope I’m not interrupting you!”
Zathra hopped he hadn’t bugged her by asking, but it was too late now, hopefully she’d agree, and he’d get his magic working right.

Twilights face turned to a one of surprised, and then to glee. "Of course, Zathra! Im always available to lend a helping hoof to whoever wants to learn about magic!" She ushered him inside and began hopping to and fro amongst the bookshelves, magicing down the ones she wanted in a pile. Before long, the pile was a daunting stack taller than most ponies.
"There, that should be good for some basics." She said, smiling. She had alot of books on magic. "Now," She began, "Tell me exactly what happens when you use magic. What it feels like, etcetera, etcetera." She drew a notepad and paper, as well as some reading glasses.

Zathra smiled seeing Twilight look so happy about helping, and sat quietly while she grabbed her books, looking in surprise at the massive pile, and that was only the basic's? Zathra grinned, he had definitely made a good decision to ask her to help.
Zathra had to think a bit about her questions, what /did/ it feel like? "Well... i have to strain a fair bit... and i get lightheaded if i use it for too long.... and i can't use it very much.... umm..... i also need to keep very focused, or the spell will break.... i've dropped a few things while working because of that, and hurt myself, buti guess that's about it... sorry if that wasn't helpful Twilight"

Twilight jotted down several notes of varying importance as Zathra spoke. She slid the pencil behind her ear and took off the glasses. "Well Zathra, it seems your problem is.... I dont know yet. But I will know!" She began pulling even more books from the shelves about unicorn related ailments and defects, leafing through various pages within them.
After a few moments of completely blocking out everything else in the world, she looked up, proclaiming "Aha!" Then promptly pulled another book from the shelf and resumed reading quietly, expressionless, and all the while blocking everything out.
Finally, after what seemed like an hours worth of silence (Though in reality, ten minutes), she shut the book, looking up at Zathra. "Alright Zathra, after all this reading, I have summarized that we simply need.... Another book. Im missing the one I need, sorry. The last one who had it lost it somewhere in the apple orchard over at Sweet Apple Acres." She gave Zathra a glum look.

Zathra smiled at her enthusiasm, sitting patiently as some thoughts entered his head. If he was able to start using magic properly, what types of spells would he be able to use? Would he be able to heat metals so he can quickly begin forming them? Or maybe he would be able to turn heated metal into shapes quickly and easily?
He snapped back into reality hearing that Twilight needed to go to get another book and getting up smiling. "Oh it's fine! I'm happy you even agreed to help at all! So when are we going, now or another time?"

Twilight grimaced. "Well, we could go look for it, but the thing is it got lost for a reason. Meaning, they couldn't find it. I guess we could ask around there and see if any of them saw the book. Theres still daylight, we could go out and ask around." Twilight knew it was a longshot, but she didn't feel like crushing the poor ponies only chance of ever becoming a good magic caster. Hopefully this wouldn't prove to be a worthless trip.
Twilight gave a quick word to spike she'd be off, then made her way to the door. She gestured for him to follow. The crisp air made the hairs on her coat stand up, but it was refreshing. It wasn't too far to Sweet Apple Acres, so this ordeal would be over soon enough, right?
