Yona: Pun not funny. Why friend Silverstream laughing?
Ocellus: It’s funny beca-
Gallus: Y’know. It stops being funny when you need to explain it.
Ocellus: *pouts*
Smolder: Okidoke. Put one in the jar ‘Cell.
Ocellus: *whines* But it wasn’t my fault! They goaded me!
Sandbar: Put a bit in the ‘pout jar’ ‘Cell. We set it up for a reason.You girls all keep abusing the power for your own gain
Silverstream: Like you guys don’t do the same!
Gallus: Yeah, but ours don’t tend to work.
Yona: Dragon get fat if she eats too many gems.
Smolder: No I won’t
Gallus: You kinda will,
Ocellus: No she won’t
Smolder: *munches* See?
Sandbar: Care to explain?
Ocellus: She’s eating an Aquamarine which contains beryllium. Dragons absorb the beryllium and it helps them modulate their own internal temperature. Dragon diet changes depending on their metabolism.
Silverstream: So Smoldy eats gems to stop setting herself on fire?
Smolder: Basically.
Gallus: Still gonna get fat.
Sandbar: Maybe she’ll just burn it off *snickers*
Smolder: I KNEW IT!
Gallus: Shaddup.
Sandbar: We’re kindred spirits, dude! I’ll help you catch it
Silverstream: Yeah! Let the kitty be a kitty! We’ll help!
Yona: Yona doesn’t understand Griffon’s fascination with light…
Ocellus: It stirs up his predatory hunting instincts. Alert ears, wings half-deployed, claws raised. Classic signs of a ready-to-pounce Griffon.
Gallus: Right. I’m eating all of your pillows like I said I would.
Silverstream: So that’s why I remember you making a ringing sound ‘Celly! I thought someone just put a bell on you!
Ocellus: A bell? Why would someone do that?
Sandbar: You do tread very lightly. You keep sneaking up on us.
Gallus: I’m sure she does it deliberately.
Yona: Why question asked about winter when almost summer? Makes no sense to Yona.
Smolder: Why not? All’s fair in love and war.
Ocellus: *Whines* Did you have to phrase it like that? Now I’m hungry…
Smolder: Ugh! History! That’s the last class I want to have extended
Gallus: History isn’t that bad. We all learn a thing from history.
Smolder: Such as?
Yona: Dragon learnt not to listen to young ponies asking about fire breath.
Sandbar: That was only a few weeks ago.
Ocellus: Technically it’s counts as “recent history”,.
Silverstream: If I write “history” twice on a page, does it mean I have rewritten history?
Sandbar: That seems like a far safer way to do it than time travel…
Starlight Glimmer: On that we can agree.
Twilight Sparkle: And longer history lessons sounds like a WONDERFUL idea!
Smolder: *facedesk*
Gallus: Is it just me or did that explain nothing?
Sandbar: It wasn’t just you
Silverstream: Oooh, ‘Celly! Got any more unusual dragon facts?
Ocellus: Um…. Dragons are historically known to charge into trees mouth-first in order to force large gems down their throats in order to prevent nearby dragons from stealing some.
Smolder: *gags* Really? Sounds stupid
Yona: Yona can practice with friend Smolder on her drying tree! Can exchange tips!
Ember: You have some strange friends.
Smolder: You started it.
Silverstream: Brushies! I’ll brush you Yona!
Sandbar: Brush what exactly. Hair? Fur?
Smolder: Maybe she’s secretly going to ask you to brush the floor of her room, Gallus.
Gallus: ONE time. I enjoy myself ONE time and you feel the need to bring it up in casual conversation over and over.
Smolder: It’s just so easy though.
Ocellus: Could be worse. She could be asking him to tie up her hair again.
Yona: Yona never asking for that. Yona learnt from mistakes.
Smolder: *deadpans* Really? A nap?
Gallus: I’m entitled to naps. There were no classes last week.
Sandbar: Well… he is part cat, and it has been really sunny.
Silverstream: *But he’s also part bird! And birds don’t sleep for long at all! *nods sagely*
Ocellus: Birds are actually alert at all times, even when they’re asleep.
Sandbar: Maybe that’s why he conked out for so long. All this time being constantly alert.
Smolder: *faceclaws* Why are you all defending him?
Yona: More likely Griffon was too lazy to do gardening activity this week.
Silverstream: What’s so confusing?
Sandbar: I don’t know how this thing works? How do I move it?
Silverstream: You move it like you’d normally move your flipper!
Yona: Pony no have flipper.
Silverstream: *pouts* Well it wasn’t hard for me to learn to walk again when we returned to the surface. Maybe just imagine your hind legs are tied together and wiggle like a worm!
Gallus: I guess having brand new limbs and the like would be a bit confusing for the first time you experience it. What do you th-
Smolder: I’m still not doing it. Don’t even think of asking
Gallus: Dang. What about you ‘cell? How do you adapt to changing form?
Ocellus: Changelings don’t really have any issues with adapting to their hosts bodies except in infancy.
Ocellus: Oooh! I have loads of questions! What’s the population density of Somnambula? I mean I know It’s just northwest of Saddle Arabia but since they’re in the same landmass I thought you’d…
Gallus: And there she goes. Good luck stopping her teach’.
Smolder: I’m surprised how many reformed creatures there are around Ponyville…
Sandbar: You get used to it.
Smolder: No, I mean - I’m surprised so many of you ponies go evil.
Silverstream: They don’t go evil Smoldy! They just get cranky.
Yona: So what friend Silverstream saying is that evil creatures are like wailing calves?
Tempest Shadow: *arches an eyebrow* I’d like to think I was a little more intimidating than that.
