A Bird in the Hoof (April 8th 2011, 22 minutes)

Summary: Fluttershy cannot help herself, she must nurse Celestia's pet back to health, no matter what!

That's an interesting couch in the background there. It has a very post-modern look, with the bowl shape. It's probably a standard given the quadrapedal lounging style that ponies likely have with the legs curled up under them.

The white rabbit is late, for a very important date. *sigh*

And the cabinet hutch there is a nice rough-hewn Colonial-style piece.

Traditional Honor Guard behavior.

So this is the first time Celestia has had an extended social time with the rest of the Bearers of the Elements? Interesting.

You eat the appetizer first, then the salad, if they are being differentiated. Modern eating habits usually has the salad *as* an appetizer but in foodie circles they are distinct. It makes me wonder though what exactly the ponies would have as an appetizer, given that most of their foodstuffs seem to be either pastries or salad-derivatives.

And Trollestia is born. Actually, it's nice to see Celestia likes little pranks like that.

Steam heating, with a mid 1900's radiator. And fascinating wooden bathroom fixtures, reminiscent of Japanese standing baths.

I've mentioned in my worldbuilding blog that the guards act more like police and special service than they do the military. This is one of those examples.

Yakity Sax again, a new version though. Scooby Do door-slamming scene.

And suddenly phoenix. Another Greek creature, though there is a similar creature in Egyptian myth called a benu. Nobody is quite clear if one begat the other or whether they are both sourced in an even older, lost, mythology.
