Cherry said nothing in response to Firelight, tucking her chin in to her chest shyly. She was pretty overwhelmed by all the ponies but was determined to share her snack.




When the Queen took it and thanked her she smiled and immediately scampered back to her dad's side.




"That was very nice of you, Opal." He smiled at his daughter and backed her out of the crowd.

"You're telling me! All this worry is ...exhausting." replied Piper with a sigh.

Razzle Dazzle frowned a little maybe he had gone a little over board like always. "Sorry...I just...I'm not different...." Razzle blinked as she excused herself. "Bye...." His ears drooped a bit well he wasn't doing very well to act as a best hoof forwards here. He sighed a little bit before looking around. Looking to Just Lance he wondered what the out come would be if they voted not to help his kind.

"I'm still open for questions if anyone has some?" Razzle called out and waited to see if anyone wished to speak to him. In the mean time he wandered over to Bullseye to see who she was speaking with. "What's going on over here?" He asked with a smile to Mute as he didn't want to give a bad impression to another pony. He remembered this one he had voted with them one time during the chaos of looking for the changelings.

Solar Flare seemed to listen intently though it almost seemed like there must be some information missing here and there, but the pony did a good job of painting a picture for Solar for the most part. "I'm glad to hear that everything for the most part has gone down smoothly. Though I still have concern about Just Lane's wife. Even if Queen Morpho releases her the original kidnapping should not be so easily over looked?" Solar looked to the queen for the moment and considered it. "Thank you so much for you time in explaining things to me." Solar gave a nod of his head before seaming to move along. He heard the announcement and pinned his ears he had not even been able to speak to a changeling yet. He was not wiling to make a vote at this time.

Solar Flare moved through the crowd till he spotted one of the changelings. He headed for Piper and some of the other ponies about them. "Excuse me when you have some time, I would like to speak to you about what happened here?" Solar asked gently he did not wish to interrupt but then again a call to a vote had been made and he still wished to speak to at least one changeling.

"Oh! Sure. I was just checking in here. um..What would you like to know?" Piper was a little nervous about being questioned. Hopefully, She could help shed some positive light.  

[Valdmir Talamore]

"Well." Solar seemed to consider it for a moment before speaking again. " I wasn't here when everything happened as you might well have noticed, but by my understanding you are here peacefully yes? You just wanted to enjoy the festival? He asked. "Please don't think this rude, but did you know the Queen had kidnapped Just Lance's Wife?" He seemed to give off an air that would say she had nothing to fear from him he was just asking questions.

Glitch didn't have to consider his answer. Piper... Cherry.... Starshine.... Royal... they were all his friends. Ponies he had held close. They were all changelings. His vote was clear. It always would be.

Changelings should be welcomed.

Copper backed Cherry out of the crowd. He got her some water.

"Thanks Daddy."

"You're welcome, Cherry."

Copper was deciding if he should just leave but he was interested in the outcome of the acceptance of the changelings. This is a historical event he's now witnessing. He was deep in thought when suddenly, he was bumped into from behind. "oh, excuse me."

The golden maned pony seemed concerned. "Oh no, I'm fine, Really. It's ok." He chuckled. "It was just a little bump."

"Did you jut arrive too?"

She nodded and thought. Wanting to be honest with him but still a little nervous.
"I was not wholly aware of it until Plot Device said something to Just Lance." She stood back up.

"I had been outside of the Hive for a while and came here of my own accord, with my Pony Family."

With the other opinions considered, Just Lance had reached a decision. With a wave of his hoof, he beckoned the changeling queen away from the crowd, to speak in hushed tones of things to come. As the conversation went on, she seemed to soften, finally bowing her head quietly. It was... terse, but not so bad, perhaps. Finally, the captain of the guard returned, and spoke to the assembled ponies.

"Thank you all very much for your help. The queen and I shall be approaching Wynter, and... perhaps this is the new start the changelings need."

The rest of the guard would remain, for now, to ensure that the market could carry on. But the queen and the captain departed, off to find a future in the new world for the changelings.

Seastone Embers was more than happy to be cuddled by her sister, even if it meant getting pulled away from Morpho when all the other ponies approached. It was a bit annoying that the twins had to share when they were there first but her dads had always told her she needed to have good manners. She didn't want good manners, she wanted to be with Firelight and talk to Morpho and maybe.....this new foal who looked familiar. Whatever. "Hrnn." From the tone of her voice her pout was evident, but the little aquatic filly didn't make any moves to do anything, especially when Morpho was called away by that Lance Guy to talk.

"It'd be cool if they had something we could take home with us, like a fish." She was aware some places gave stuff away for free, though others involved money. Her dads had money, right? "We deserve something cool after what happened or else everything would be really boring."

The sudden change of hue in his companion's face pulled a soft laugh from his chest as Starshine shifted, allowing the other pony to lean closer into him. Royal was so used to him simply teasing him, he figured he wouldn't be entirely sure of the sincerity of his confession. With a smile, the changeling turned his vibrant gaze to him as he questioned their course of action.

For a moment, he took the time to simply be silent and listen. He was positive at least most of the chaos had died down, and from the sounds of it all, everything was returning to normal. He leaned his forehead against Royal's, angling his head so he could nuzzle his cheek before he pulled away.

"Anything we want."

Quote:

Royal hid his face in Starshine's side. Oh by the grace of the Seasons, what was wrong with him?!? Here he was basically putting his heart out there for Starshine to feast on and strangely enough he trusted him. Royal honestly trusted Starshine with his emotions. Why?!? Why was he trusting him?!? Starshine had teased him up till this point....so...why?!? Royal groaned as the final thought hit him. He trusted him because Starshine was honest enough to seek him out. When no one else he knew now to be of the Hive cared to seek him out...Starshine did. Royal turned his head to look at the other male.

"You can...speak with your siblings right? Can...can you tell Cherry that I hope they and Delicate have a happy life. Also...I'm totally willing to babysit any future foals. Oh...let Piper know that she's not grounded, but I am going to give her a stern talking to. She's still my baby sister and her siblings are owed at least snuggles." he paused to think about a few other things. "I would like to talk to Bullseye...and Razzle...Bullseye, is one of my penpal besties. I wanna make sure she's okay. Razzle is the brother to my other bestie, I wanna make sure he knows he has a second home if he needs a safe haven. Oh...tell Cassie that I'm glad she's being honest with ponies, but if she's using Prism we're going to have a long talk." he hummed. "Oh...and as for you, dinner tonight at my place?"

Okay that last part was muttered and he nearly lost the nerve for it.

if you picture Royal mentally squeaking as he questions himself...your spot on.
