Silverstream: Me! I’m a good Hippogriff! *mumbles*
Ocellus: Wh…what’s she doing?
Smolder: Daydreaming. You can always tell by how her ears flick.
Yona: Dragon know a lot about Hippogriff’s “tells”.
Smolder: You pick up a lot after sharing a dorm with someone. I’m sure you and Ocellus have tons of habits each other can tell.
Gallus: I don’t think guys pick up on leads the same way. I can’t think of many habits Sandbar has.
Sandbar: You twirl your tail clockwise when you’re having a good dream, and swish it side to side when you’re having a bad one.
Gallus: wha-?
Ocellus: Yay!
Yona: Yay!
Smolder: Gallus?
Gallus: Myeh. They’re not bad. But re-arranging your feathers afterwards is a nuisance if you want to fly straight.
Silverstream: I can help you if you want Gally!
Sandbar: I never really got the difference between your wings. I mean, Silver’s feathers seem stronger
Gallus: Maybe I’ll explain later.
Ocellus: Oooh! Can I take notes?
Smolder: I’d be shocked if you didn’t.
Sandbar: Do you mind putting it back?
Silverstream: Aww but it looks so nice this way!
Gallus: It doesn’t even close anymore! It’s not even a door, it’s more like a curtain!
Yona: Silly Gallus. Curtains made of fabric, not wood.
Ocellus: Well technically, blinds can be made of wood.
Yona: But Griffon said curtains, not blinds.
Smolder: Touché.
Gallus: FIX IT!
Silverstream: Okay okay! Don’t shed all your feathers. Now where did I put my screwdriver…
Sandbar: *facehoof*
Sandbar: Only you could get excited for a Monday.
Ocellus: What’s not to love?!? First day of School a week. Homework hand-ins. Results from the previous week. It’s everything I could hope for in a day!
Yona: Changeling has very different idea of what is enjoyable to Yona.
Gallus: Phshaw. The day I’ll be happy it’s a Monday is the day I become ruler and restructure the week so Monday marks the beginning of a 6 day weekend.
Smolder: What happens on the 7th day?
Gallus: National Holiday.
Silverstream: So *scratches beak*… does anyone know how to untangle a Changeling death-hug? I kinda need breakfast.
Ocellus: Eep! S-sorry!
Smolder: Whatcha looking at Silver?
Silverstream: The Weather! The winds are dying down!
Gallus: Oh, neat! We can go flying again soon. It’s been way too windy to go out and soar lately.
Silverstream: Yuh-huh! It’s going to be amazing!
Ocellus: Count me out. I have the library fireplace and my reading list to keep me company.
Yona: Yona don’t mind wind. But Yona too tired to leave Room. Too much sweeties…
Sandbar: Shouldn’t have scarfed them all down when I shared them with you all then! Only yourself to blame.
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
Smolder: No.
Sandbar: …Pretty Please?
Smolder: Let me think ab- No.
Gallus: Aren’t you cold, Silver?
Silverstream: Freezing!
Gallus: So why don’t you put on a scarf or hat… or something?
Silverstream: That ruins the point of the cold! If I’m warm, then the cold I touch will be less cold.And we want it to be cold!
Ocellus: I really doubt you putting on a hat and scarf will contribute to a net increase in temperature.
Yona: But friend Silverstream does not have net
Ocellus: No, I mean-
Smolder: Good idea Yona! Let’s get a net and scoop up this snow! It’ll make a great way to ambush somecreature!
Smolder: I’ve got an extra pad of post-it notes we can use!
Ocellus: You know, I’m right in front of you. If you need to tell my anything, you can say it.
Silverstream: *giggles* I know! But it’s fun. Your horn is so spiky I just want to poke and prod it.
Gallus: Plus, as demonstrated, makes an amazing note-collection.
Sandbar: Huh, who put the recipe up here? What did it make?
Ocellus: Pancakes.
Yona: Yona wondered where paper went. Yona wasn’t able to finish her baking for ages!
Ocellus: I’m sure it would’ve just ended up on my face as well… *humphs*
Yona: Yona thought Silverstream grew up as Seasausage.
Ocellus: -Seapony-
Silverstream: I did! Well, that didn’t stop me from sneaking back onto Mount Aris on occasion. I got told off a lot for doing that!
Smolder: You snuck away from your family for cookies?
Silverstream: Well you can’t get cookies underwater! They get all soggy.
Gallus: I quite like soft biscuits.
Sandbar: Myeh. I prefer the crumbly ones myself.
Gallus: Try preening feathers caked in crumbs and you’ll find a whole new appreciation for my preference.
Sandbar: I’ll get right on that with the wings i don’t have. *rolls eyes*
Smolder: So yeah, that sounds pretty accurate for Silver.
Ocellus: Except for her back legs of course, which are hooved.
Gallus: Which seems so weird to me. Being unable to wriggle my hind paws just sounds wrong…
Smolder: Agreed. How do you survive as a species?
Sandbar: Um… hello? Some of us are purely hooved creatures and we do alright! Right Yona?
Yona: Yeah! Hooves are best!
Silverstream: Chirp chirp.
