A request from Amino user "Miraphosa". Enjoy.

Hilda sighed, "Darn it why am I on stable duty? Does the professor want me to study horses? I don't get it."

Hilda sighed, "Ugh I'll just get someone else to-"

Hilda overheard a voice, "Goddess please answer my prayers. I'm such a burden. Please. Let me close my eyes..."

There was soft crying that Hilda heard. Hilda turned the corner to see Marianne weeping.

Hilda approached Marianne and asked, "Are you OK?"

Marianne stood up and lied, "I'm fine. I got stable duty please go."

Hilda took a deep breath and sighed, "Marianne you're not a burden."

Marianne turned away and didn't answer.

"Marianne people care about you," Hilda explained, "I..."

Hilda sighed, "Look you're more useful than me."

"No I'm not," Marianne sighed, "I can't talk to people. I can't help anyone I-"

Hilda hugged Marianne, "You're valuable to me."

"Hilda..." Marianne replied, her face red.

"I wish I could help you see how great you are," they said to each other in synch.

They blushed and looked away from each other.

"Do... you ever think about girls like you do guys?" Hilda inquired.

"Many people do," Marianne replied, "And... sometimes yes. Are you gonna hate me for it?"

"No I just," Hilda sighed, "Have my eyes on these sweet blue haired girl. Do you think she would want to cuddle and get some tea?"

"Well I have my eyes on a pink haired sweetie," Marianne admitted, "Do you think she could help me clean the stable first?"

Hilda snuggled up to Marianne and assured her, "Everyone cares about you Marianne. I promise."

Hilda stood up and smiled, "Now let's get to work..."
