As he listened to Moondancer, Dynamo was planning to ask her some questions in hopes of getting to know her, as well as the others. However, his question was caught in his throat as Moondancer turned and walked away briskly. Dynamo frowned slightly as he was worried he had caused a problem for Moondancer and/or the others. Craning his neck towards Bluebell, Dynamo had an expression of concern on his face. "Hey, Bluebell? Is Moondancer going to be okay? Was it something I had said or had done?" He asks, noticing that everyone was acting rather shy. In a way, he could understand as he could be a bit shy himself at times.

"D-don't take it per-personally," said Bluebell.  "She's a v-very sensitive pony, and- and I think she ju-ju-just feels over-overwhelmed.  I think if you give-give her a chance, she'll w-warm up to you."

Listening to Bluebell's words, Dynamo's jaw dropped slightly. Almost as if he was going to ask a question, before slowly nodding his head. "O-Okay and I understand. I can understand being welcomed back by everyone since she was sent to Manehattan. She does sound like a really nice friend and I hope to get to know her in due time. The same goes for you and everyone here." Dynamo says, smiling kindly at everyone present. "Oh, I almost forgot to mention. It's really nice to meet you again, Princess Twilight." He turned towards Twilight, before giving the Princess of Friendship a bow. One could argue that the bow was unnecessary, but he still wanted to show respect to his princesses.

Twilight shifted self-consciously "You don't have to bow, you know," she said. " We don't stand on ceremony here."  

"Okay ponies," Luna called out. "let's get this thing started!"

Twilight led the group to the games with the dozen mares, sighing in unison, trailing behind.

As he stood up from his bow, Dynamo gave a sheepish chuckle, while rubbing the back of his neck with his hoof. "I completely understand and I'm really sorry, Twilight. I guess it's sort of a force of habit as my mom and dad always used to tell me to show respect to everypony." He explained, while thinking that he wasn't used to being in the same vicinity of Princesses. He had to remember that Princess Twilight, Princess Luna and the other Princesses were ponies like everyone else. They were of royalty, but they could still enjoy their favorite pastimes, as well. He was suddenly brought out of his thoughts by Luna, who had called for the gaming hangout to begin. Feeling ecstatic, Dynamo followed Twilight and the others with a pep in his step. His ears perked as he heard the dozen mares sighing, while they followed behind him and the others. He still wondered who they all were as he wasn't too familiar with any of them, but he decided not to question anything. "I haven't really been to a gaming hangout before. Unless you count the times that my old gaming teacher would have game night's at the arcade. Usually it'd be a free for all kind of game night where everyone could game together, or have a king of the hill kind of tournament of sorts." He sighed softly as he felt nostalgic. "I hope it's okay for me to ask, but I am curious. What kind of games are there for us to play? Are there dozens and dozens of games? I'm actually really psyched as I can't wait to begin!" He says, his smile growing more and more into a grin.
