Ionic Sunset

@Blitz Boom Dragonfly halted her breathing for a moment. She had been in this forest for no longer than a week, but she had already found something that interesting! One golden ear flicks as the two voices continue speaking as one, her head turning to the sound. Letting herself breath again now that the explorer has acquired a direction to travel, her eyes shift into joyful citrine. Careful, watching her every step, making no more noise than necessary, Dragonfly peers through the foliage. The sight is incredible. Her ears stop picking up the words, eyes widening as they focus on the crystalline creature. The creature within barely registers either, though she wouldn’t know of the changelings anyway. She’d often been teased and messed with back home for her tendency to lose the thoughts in her head when faced with something shiny or pretty, but up here it hadn’t been that relevant yet… Until now. The golden mare with a ruby mane and sparkling purple eyes had forgotten stealth. She barely remembers to breath, sitting with her hooves pushing open a bush for her head, staring. Very clearly visible.

@Blitz Boom Well, given how long this has the possibility of running, I don’t feel uncomfortable making this one of her first encounters in Equestria. Not her first, certainly, but only a month after entering Equestrian borders. Probably randomly in the forest. Early in her time on the surface, she’d still be in a mindset of thinking civilization is sparse and the real adventure lies outside it- a result of preconceptions from home.

@Blitz Boom Sorry I don’t know how to put an @ above a quote on mobile. If I even need to? Maybe I’m double @-ing? But after my last message this was the last time I was @-ed. At-ed? Can you use an ed after the symbol? Very obscure grammatical questions, and incredibly irrelevant. Anyway, my last message was the one right before the message of yours I quoted. Oh that’s how you quote after @-ing! Good for future reference. Nice to be typing here again.

@Blitz Boom I didn’t want to say anything in case you were waiting for a chance to get around to it, I know your ability to write has been sporadic- to say the least- all year, so I didn’t want to seem like I was rushing or anything. But since it’s been a few months, just a little bit of a reminder that I exist. Can absolutely wait as long as I need to, just don’t want to be forgotten.
