In Love's name and for Love's sake, I assert that I will employ the Art which is its gift in Love's service alone, rejecting all other usages.
I will spread joy and ease pain. I will fight to preserve what loves and rejoices well in its own way, and I will change no object or creature unless its joy and love, or that of the system of which it is part, are threatened.
To these ends, in the practice of my Art, I will put aside despair for hope, and hatred for love, when it is right to do so-- Until Universe's end.

A little bit later, they are at a petting zoo! It has normal petting-zoo properties, like some annoyed chickens and a goat ignoring the small children swarming it in order to munch on some hay.
And he and Wei Wuxian are the only adults here not supervising small children or animals. Fun. (If he wants to hide in a hole, and he doesn't, this counts as exposure therapy. Probably.)
Is there at least a horse here?
There are two horses here! One is giving rides to small children and one is munching some grass while waiting for its turn. (An eight-year-old in a unicorn sweater is staring at it and very clearly fantasizing about having a horse of her own.)
(Hold onto your dreams, small child, hold onto your dreams.)
This is kind of an awkward set up for a conversation, but it should probably still be possible?
He pays the entrance fee for himself and Wei Wuxian.
Wei Wuxian runs towards the HORSIE.
(He is neither confirming nor denying having been a Horse Girl (TM).)
He has the cutest boyfriend, no one is allowed to dispute this.
He sits down on a convenient bale of straw. Practice makes it easier-- turning the world from objects into patterns of light and shadow and seeing it as it actually is and not the shape he expects it to be...
Hello? He says to the grazing horse. I'm not bothering you?
Walk loudly and make sure I can see you! And also I won't be so surprised now that I know that humans can talk.
It's good. And now for the very important questions about moral emergencies. Do you like your herd, and the humans you deal with?
I like giving the human foals rides! It is important for everyone to take care of foals so they grow up strong and wise.
Some of them kick! But I know that you can't expect better of foals. --I don't like the new hay they give me, they should go back to the old hay.
At least with a pony he doesn't have to worry about sounding crazy. It doesn't make it that much easier to explain.
Someone offered me the ability to, as long as I promised to help people. I'm working on making it so other people can speak it too.
