Silverstream: Don’t be silly! You’re a cutie too Smoldywoldy

Smolder: Good *grumbles* And don’t forget it.

Sandbar: Really, being cute is overrated in Equestria.

Yona: Why ponies try to be cute all time? What does cute achieve?

Gallus: Free biscuits.

Ocellus: And lots of love energy.

Smolder: *arches an eyebrow*

Ocellus: What? The best way to get little tendrils of love from ponies before we changed was to appear cute in some form or other. Passive siphoning - and it hurt no-creature.
