Silverstream: WINTER WRAP UP IS A REAL THING!!!!!! OMIGOSH!!

Ocellus: I know where a bunch of information is on it in the library, Silver! Want to go look?

Silverstream: YONA! COME! WE GO NOW!

Yona: We go! Yaks like winter! But Spring nice too!

Smolder: What did we just witness?

Gallus: The birth of the most hyperactive weathergriff in existence…

Sandbar: Wait? How come she’s never heard of Winter Wrap Up? They weren’t Seaponies for long enough to forget were they?

Smolder: She forgot stairs, didn’t she?

Sandbar: You know what’s scary?

Ocellus: No? What?

Sandbar: Yona was probably right about Yaks being the best at friendship. There’s no way I’d let you crawl on top of me like that

Smolder: Yeeeeah… I can see that being a bit disturbing

Gallus: That’s because we have a concept called Personal Space.

Silverstream: We do?

Smolder: No. WE do. You don’t.

Yona: That makes hippogriffs also best at friendship like Yaks?

Sandbar: Heya guys! It’s Raffle time!

Sandbar: That’s a little harsh isn’t it, Ocellus?

Smolder: Yeah! Don’t be mean to your friends

Sandbar: It’s not her fault she was raised in ignorance

Smolder: WHAT?

Gallus: I’m just going to waltz out of here and let you girls discuss this

Silverstream: Omigosh Smoldy! We need to get you some supplies! Shampoo, bubble bath, bath salts! Although I always found bath salts weird. I mean I lived in the ocean all my life and the water is always salty *gigglesnorts* Maybe you’re all trying to imitate us Seaponies!

Ocellus: I don’t think Smolder needs Shampoo. Then again, I’ve never seen how her scales are cleaned *prods them*

Smolder: NO POKING!

Yona: Yak wash by rolling in snow until adequate fluffiness achieved. Yak then head-butt drying tree until all water shaken off. Yak cleaning best and most fun.

Ocellus: That is…. strangely… hypnotic.

Sandbar: Shhh. Almost have it…

Smolder *snickers* This must be killing you, Gallus.

Gallus: Zip it.

Yona: Because Griffon is half cat?

Silverstream: Aww. Little Gally’s Kitten heart is aching for the laser!

Gallus: Half-Lion. And I swear, I will eat your pillow.*fidgets*

Smolder: I’m confused.

Ocellus: Angles! They’re all angles. Acute angle, obtuse angle, right angle.

Smolder: No-no. I mean, when did you get so snarky?

Gallus: She’s always been snarky. Just a polite-snarky.

Sandbar: I don’t think polite snarky is a thing.

Silverstream: I get the joke! *giggles*

Yona: Only angle Yona need to know is best angle of horns for optimal smash.

Ocellus: Sorry every creature. You know I like bad puns. It’s just a REFLEX

Gallus: *groans*

Yona: Hard to take it serious when you call it a cutie mark. Although Yona still wants Yak cutie mark.

Smolder: Yeah, what’s up with that. Why not a “Destiny Sign” or something more catchy.

Silverstream: Aww. I think it sounds cute.

Sandbar: It’s not meant to be cute! It’s an important sign of your coming of age!

Ocellus: Oooh. So it’s like when Griffons have their “First Feathering”. they get all fluffy and aren’t able to fly and-

Gallus: Not. Another. Word.

Yona: Griffon saw nothing.

Gallus: Griffon saw nothing. Got it

Sandbar: What did you see nothing about?

Yona: He saw nothing about anything

Smolder: Sounds about right. Some stuff just goes right over his head.

Silverstream: Like clouds! Clouds go over your head all the time, Gallus

Ocellus: Is anycreature going to ask why Yona has a moustache?

Yona: Changeling saw nothing.

Smolder: Come participate in this weeks raffle! Or don’t. I’m not bothered.

Ocellus: Can Hippogriffs even grow moustaches?

Smolder: Dragons can’t. Scales and all that. We can get fins though!

Sandbar: If Griffons can, surely Hippogriffs can.

Gallus: Griffons can’t.

Silverstream: Aww… *moustache falls off* What about that famous chef who came in the other day?

Gallus: Gustave? His is fake. Beaks can’t grow hair like that

Yona: *peers at moustache suspiciously*

Smolder: The bookbug read some books. There’s a shocker!

Silverstream: Ooooh! What books did you read Ocellus? Did you read the one I gave you?

Yona: Changeling given the same book friend Silverstream gave Yona?

Gallus: I’m fairly sure she gave us ALL the same book

Ocellus: Yep! I read it Silverstream. Although I’m not sure I am confident fixing any sinks, yet alone inventing underwater sinks like you requested in your note inside the cover.

Sandbar: How would underwater sinks even work? Would it be like an underwater geyser which pushes out hot water on command? How would you make it go down a drain? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!

Sandbar: I never understood that. Why do Yaks need to be the best?

Yona: Doesn’t friend Sandbar not want to be the best?

Smolder: WANTING to be the best and BEING the best are two different things

Silverstream: Maybe it’s, like, striving to be the best you can be, against all odds! Yak culture is so sophisticated and deep!

Gallus: I’m not quite sure how you got that from her saying “Yak best!”

Ocellus: It’s like saying Griffons are very sensitive because they don’t let others form emotional attachments easily, and they don’t want to be hurt. That’s why you’re very hostile initially.

Gallus: Nah. We’re just jerks.
