A heavy burden...

Kootra's POV
Finished.
Jordan sat in bed restless, He was told that he would stay with a mare named Rarity since everyone else was busy. Kootra never met another mare except Nurse (whom he found out name was Nurse Redheart.). His left eye was still bandaged covering his head and the eye socket, Makes me look like a pirate... heh...
Kootra arched his back and extended his upper body until he heard a surprising, oddly, blissful popping sounds in his back. He smiled and slowly rolled out of the bed. He had to make this quick; he was able to limp, but the doctors insisted he either uses a cane, a wheelchair, or somepony to assist him. He opened the door to the bathroom slowly, and shut it behind him. He looked into the mirror and cringed when he gotten a good look at himself.
He wasn't skinny, but he looked underweight. He had a cast on his left hind leg; his eye was covered of course. He was pale red, (Pale meaning he's sick of what he's looking at) He nearly vomited, which would've had the Nurse's attention. Speaking of Attention...Kootra looked back into the mirror he placed his hoof at the bandage.
Kootra, being the curious cat, he lifted the bandage and literally cried when he looked at his injured eye. Kootra's left eye was burned, and when he opened (more like pried) his eye. He had a sense of self-conscious; his eye was pinkish and bloodshot. He was pretty sure his cornea was scratched, his vision with the injured eye was tunneled, but he can still see with it. It's able to be treated, either emergency surgery to fix it, or get a glass eye.
Kootra slipped the bandage back over the injured eye socket. He's going to have to ask Doctor Surgeon if there was a chance he could fix his eye. Before Rarity visi-
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
"Son of a hay-firing-gun!" Koots casually laid back in bed and attached the IV back into the funnel of his wrist. Once the door opened, he was greeted by Doctor Surgeon and followed by a snow-white pony with a flipped, curvy mane.
"Hello I’m Rarity, you are....?"
"Kootra, Koots for short," He took it she was a classy mare, so he did that any gentlecolt would've done; he kissed the top of her front hoof.
"Quite a charming fellow, aren't you?" She asked,
"I want to leave an impression on those who are going to let an injured pony like me, into your home," Kootra said honestly, For some reason, it burns with both anguish and hatred when he thought of the word 'Love' He felt ice bite his throat when he saw that the mare was staring at him funny.
"Is there something on my face?" He lifted to touch his snout but Rarity stopped him,
"Y-you're skinny..."
"I was in a Coma for three weeks..." Koots rubbed the back of his neck, "I'm not really hungry anyways!" His stomach growled and rumbled in defiance. He blushed as he rubbed his rebellion friend of his. You always to seem to growl whenever I say hungry you jerk...
"I believe your stomach differs..." Rarity said with concern, why was she concern for a stranger like me?
"Yeh... I'm only in here for another few days..."
"Three days, Two minutes, and three seconds to be in fact...” Interjected a mare coming through the door, she had a lavender coat with purple hair color with pink highlights, on her back rode a not-so-pleased baby dragon. I was stunned by the Dragon, but not so much because I felt as if I've known some... somehow...

"A friend of my friend is a friend to me!" Twilight and I exchange small nod of a head, while Spike was practically fuming, was there something I did?
"Uh... is it normal for a dragon to have steam out of their ears?" Kootra asked,
"He gets to stay with Rarity..." Spike grumbled,
"Taken a liking for a certain pony?" Kootra inquired, to Spike's despair, he flushed vigorously but stayed quiet.
They all gave a small chuckle as Kootra soon learn that Rarity, no doubt, was the Element of Generosity while Twilight was the student of Princess Celestia. Which gotten Koots confused,
"Why is there Princesses but no Queen or King in sight?" which resulted to a sharp slap from Twilight, "Ow~!" Koots seethed as he rubbed his stinging cheek. Fortunately it wasn't the left side.
"Monarchy is illegal in Equestria, but ponies didn't like the idea of democracy... so we took the both of both worlds,"
Twilight lifted her muzzle, as if he just insulted her.
"You didn't have to slap me..." he whined,
"I didn't have to," Twilight gave a surpisingly creepy, warm smile. "It was to put some sense into a madpony.:"
"What's going on with your horn?" a strange glow was begining to form on both the mare's horns,
"Its a spell I used on myself, that I'd be able to see the magical strength and weaknesses in everypony," Twilight answered,
"Like a scouter?!" Kootra's eyes twinkled, in hopes that someone gets the refrence. Only to sigh with irratation when Rarity answered,
"Have you hit your head before we came?" Rarity put a hoof to his forehead, (Spike started to loathed Kootra at the sudden contact..) "You don't seen to have a fevor..."
"I'm alright, Rarity. Twilight, could you tell us, er me what is the point of a Magical 'Scouter'?"
"So I can tell if you are bragging or telling the truth, because quite frankly we don't really take kindly to braggarts... bad things happend!" Twilight answered the pale rosey Stallion.
"What kind of things?" Kootra pressed on, "I'm all ears." He gave his pale rose ears a flap, which he was rewarded in a brief giggle from Rarity and Twilight. He looked at now fist shaking dragon. Maybe he best leave the comedic personality for later.
"A certain mare Whoes Name-May-Not-Be-Said, said to take down a Ursa Major-" Twilight began,
"A Ursa Major? Whats an Ursa?" So many questions that may not be answered, but were depleated after a stern look from the lavender mare.
"She showed her true colors when a Ursa Minor arrived, and she left in a self-exile," Twilight sighed, "She was somewhat crazy and believed her own lies."
That sounds like... Eh... Sly made fun of her name!!!.... Trixie? Kootra decided to not press forward.
"Okay, back to topic. You can obvously know everything ranging from magical skill to physical range?" Kootra asked, unamused.
"Yep, it says you are great with the Unreal Engine art?" Twilight raised a eyebrow, "Whats that?"
"The least you know about that, the least complicated I have to put into words." Kootra dreaded having to do another art of that unless he has a computer... Wait... whats a computer? Is he losing more human basic knowledge of technology? ARGH! This is nuts, get your head back into reality, Jordan. You are having a logical conversation for peats sake!
"Welp... I guess you know my skills so no need for me to explan," Koots gave a mental sigh of relieve.
"Actually I want to know how you got this skill, of archery I mean. Its a rather great skill." Rarity piped up.
"Wait, how did you know...?"
"Unicorns share a magical link to friends and sposes. Which could be denied and acessed by only the host."
"Like a whitelist server!" Kootra's rosey forelegs met his forhead after what he just said, "Twilight... would you mind slapping me again?"
*SMACK!*
