NATG III Day 28 - Struggling With Limitations

Description

The alpha turned towards Sour Note, and waved for him to come to her, releasing her magic grip as she did so. Sour turned towards the still-cowering Azure and gave one final snort, then headed down the staircase and clambered over the rubble pile. As he disappeared over the other side, the alpha began descending towards me, her long legs having no trouble navigating the rubble. She shifted her eyes to the weapon holstered at my side, and I decided it would be prudent to levitate my equipment to the far corner.

As she came up to me, I said, "Hello." When she nodded in reply, I said, "You're not feral, are you?"

She promptly shook her head.

"My name is Nocturne Star," I said, holding a hoof out. "What is your name?"

She looked at my hoof for a second, the gingerly lifted her own foreleg and placed her hoof on my own.

I gripped her hoof and gave it a gentle shake, then tilted my head a bit as she remained silent. "You... have a name, right?"

She pulled her hoof out of my grip, then looked down, biting her lip. After a second, she nodded.

I regarded her for a bit, unsure about the reason behind her behavior. "Can... can you speak?"

She winced at my words, and looked back up at me sadly. She then lifted her head to stretch her neck out, and pointed at the bald spot just under her chin. I bent forward a bit to take a closer look at it, and realized that she had three long scars across her throat there. I winced, and put a hoof to my own throat, realizing that whatever had done that must have destroyed her vocal chords in the process. "You truly can't speak, can you?" She lowered her head and closed her eyes, then shook her head slowly.

Meanwhile, Azure simply watched our interactions from her perch on the ledge, having calmed down after Sour left, but not feeling confident enough to actually get to the stairs.

This is my submission for Day 28 of Equestria Daily's Newbie Artist Training Grounds III - Draw a pony struggling/Draw a pony stretching. I may be, well, stretching the theme a bit here, but I have included both ideas in this picture. Specifically, the alpha stretching her neck out, and both of them struggling a bit with her disability.

You know what this means, Nocturne. Start up with the Your Momma So _____ jokes! She can't retaliate in kind, so you'll win unopposed!
