Today’s prompt: Draw a pony feeling hopeless / Draw a pony at the end of their rope.
 
It took me a while to think of what to draw. Then I remembered a bit from my Tough Cookie and Syntax story, specifically in Part 3. Cookie’s impatience has nearly cost her and Syntax not only the chance to find the treasure they’re after, but their freedom as well, almost getting them permanently trapped in the tomb they’re exploring. Realizing the ramifications of her actions disheartens the normally high-spirited Cookie, and she sincerely apologizes to Syntax for her impetuousness. Syntax, who had previously berated Cookie for her actions, can’t find it in his heart to stay mad at her, not when she’s in such low spirits.
