Ocellus: He’s not actually wrong.

Gallus: *smirks smugly*

Smolder: There is so much wrong with what he said. Why are you even defending him??

Ocellus: But his answer isn’t wrong! Well… it is. It’s presented wrong, but it’s right.

Smolder: That makes no sense!!

Sandbar: I think we should leave them to this debate

Silverstream: Yeeeeeah. I never liked trigonometry.

Yona: Yona really likes maths!

Silverstream: Really?

Yona: Yes! Maths involves mechanics. Force! Direction! Yak specialities.

Sandbar: Well I never…

Gallus: S’not my fault they made these beds for Ponies and not Griffons

Sandbar: We’re not that different in size - and the others haven;t complained either!

Yona: Yona’s bed comfy. Yona got no complaints.

Ocellus: I like the pillows! They’re so soft!

Silverstream: I still find it a little bit weird sleeping on a bed and not underwater. Even though we’ve been here for a long time already! I still wake up expecting to just float off towards breakfast… only to-

Smolder: Land on top of me as I crawl out from bed. Yes. I had noticed. Maybe we should consider swapping beds?

Silverstream: Aww. But your snoring makes my bed all warm and cozy!

Smolder: I-I don’t snore!

Ocellus: Well it’s not a loud snore. It’s quite a cute squeaky one-

Smolder: HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW THIS???

Yona: Pony building pretty but walls between rooms not thick..

Gallus: So does that make me a good changeling or you a bad changeling, if you can’t tell if I am one or not?

Ocellus: It’s not as easy to quantify as it is with a griffon. It’s like trying to pick the lock on a door with your mind.

Yona: Yona know if Yak is Yak. Because Yak has Yak horns and Yak instincts!

Silverstream: But what if a changeling turned into a Yak?

Yona: Then Yona headbutt Yak. If Yak returns greeting, then they are Yak! If not, Yona headbutt again for good measure.

Smolder: *whispering* Make sure you never turn into a Yak. You may not recover from the concussion

Sandbar: Or turn into a Yak with wings and fly away first.

Gallus: Why a Yak with wings? Why not just…. a bird?

Sandbar: Are you honestly telling me you don’t want to see a Yak with wings now?

Gallus: …maybe I do…

Smolder: Why do I get the feeling you wrote that question yourself, Gallus?

Gallus: You wound me, my lovely Smolder. I would not dare write such a question.

Sandbar: Yeah. It’s far more grammatically correct than you.

Gallus: *pouts and throws some popcorn at Sandbar* Don’t be a butt. You’re next, ‘Cell. Pick a question aimed ar you then answer or move back a place.

Ocellus: Why do I have a feeling I’m going to get a really silly question… *rummages into the bowl of quiz questions*

Yona: What question changeling get?

Silverstream: *peers over Ocellus* “Oh Amazing Smolder, How is it that you are the most deadly dragon in the Dragonlands”. That sounds just like Gallus’ question!

Smolder: Uhm… what a… unique question! I think th-that belongs in my bowl…

Gallus: *deadpans*

Smolder: …. Okay I may have written that one for myself

Silverstream: At least he said good intentions… right?

Smolder: I actually found his talk interesting. Then it became… Gallusified… towards the end

Gallus: Myeh. Was worth a shot. Changeling wings don’t make all that much sense to me. They look too fragile to provide lift at all!

Ocellus: My wings beat at a far faster rate than yours do. Griffons and Hippogriffs flap at around 2-3 flaps a second when hovering. I’d have to beat my wings at closer to 100-200 times.

Yona: Wow! So changeling moves really fast when hovering!

Sandbar: Sounds exhausting. What happens when you get tired whilst flying?

Gallus: Eh. We wing it.

Silverstream: Omigosh you have leg warmers too?? Also where is the lolly from?

Gallus: Um… yeah? Sandbar got all of us some after the holidays. The lollies are in a box of them in the common room.

Silverstream: Yeah but I didn’t know you’d actually wear them!?! That’s so cool!

Sandbar: Actually… neither did I. What’s the deal?

Gallus: There is ice outside. And legs are the least-protected part of a Griff’s body. And at least with leg-warmers, I don’t have to worry about shredding the ends with my talons.

Yona: So Gallus is chilly?

Smolder: I could warm you up if you want.

Ocellus: *gasps* Smolder! Stop trying to set fire to Gallus! He didn’t even do anything wrong this time.

Smolder: *blinks* Eh? I was just going to get the hearth going…

Ocellus: *blushes* Oh… oopsie.

Yona: Griffon would burn too quickly anyway. Hearth is better.

Smolder: *snorts* Looks like he enjoys it, Look at that tail wag.

Gallus: Shaddup.

Sandbar: So who’s next?

Ocellus: Smolder!

Silverstream: Smolder!

Yona: Dragon!

Gallus: *smirks*

Smolder: Don’t you da-

Gallus: Smolder.

Sandbar: Majority verdict! Hug the dragon!

Ocellus: Isn’t that a little harsh to a… clock?

Silverstream: Yeah! Who knows, maybe your life one day will depend on being awake at certain times on the dot!

Gallus: The day I decide to tie my life down to a… ugh… schedule… is the day I hang up my sketchpad.

Smolder: Besides, you couldn’t wake up on time to save your life.

Gallus: Righ- hey! I can wake up on time If I want to!

Sandbar: Dude, you are impossible to wake up without a loud noise. It’s like you turn off your ear…flap…things.

Silverstream: They’re just called ears, silly!

Yona: Well bird ears look weird compared to Yak ears! Pony ears look alright, but stick in wrong direction.

Smolder: Starting off the year on a tangent… yeah, this will go well.

Ocellus: I have a headache already.

Sandbar: Does this mean we need to do one of these for each celebration?

Ocellus: Well we celebrate Hearthswarming anyway.

Yona: Yona would like to do one for Snilldar Fest!

Smolder: I really doubt it’d make much headway in the Feast of Fire either. It’s a few weeks out regardless.

Silverstream: I’m sure manygriffs know about Hearthswarming at Mount Aris! But the Three Days of Freedom Celebration is pretty crammed as it is! Not that I don’t enjoy doing more songs!

Gallus: Yeeeeah. No. Not even going to try this in Griffonstone. They’ve improved, but still grumpy.

Students will return in the new year on the 6th of January. Happy Hearthswarming! <3

Sandbar: That pun was snow terrible.

Ocellus: *pouts* I tried!

Gallus: I blame the cold.

Smolder: Strange that the most dictionary-like of all of us struggles at word-plays.

SIlverstream: Huh? I thought it was funny!

Yona: So did Yona!

Ocellus: Humph! At least I know who here appreciates me  *throws a snowball at Sandbar*
