Ask the Student Six - Asks 441 - 450

Yona: Yona meant when Yona is awake, Yona will study.

Ocellus: You’re awake nooow!

Yona: Yona eyes open. Yona not awake.

Smolder: Chill, ‘Cell. Give her time to inhale her breakfast before you tap into that intricate Yak processing power.

Ocellus: *grumbles*

Gallus: I still don’t know how she can do maths that fast. It’s unnatural.

Sandbar: No more unnatural than you calculating airspeed currents and performing minute angle changes in your wings.

Gallus: Well look who’s been paying attention to Professor Egghead’s lectures!

Silverstream: Well Gally, you could learn something from them too *giggles* I totally won that race

Smolder: How did you fall for that?

Sandbar: Fall for what?

Gallus: I’m not complaining. I won!

Yona: Ponies very trusting. Too trusting.

Smolder: Yeah, but there’s trusting.... then there is THIS.

Silverstream: Oooooh Mister Sockins! It’s been ages since I last saw you! You’ve had your hole patched, I see!

Ocellus: He’s also speaking a lot more articulately!

Yona: Yona’s friends know that is puppet, yes?

Smolder: Smolder no longer cares. She’s going back to bed. You creatures are crazy.

Smolder: That wasn’t an invitation to try, Silver...

Silverstream: Who’s trying?? I succeeded! *bounces happily*

Gallus: Okay. Who gave her the last of the ice cream we had-

Silverstream: Gally! Hugs! *glomps*

Gallus: ACK!

Ocellus: *hides behind Smolder* Why don’t you like people touching your tail?

Yona: Yona thinks because it Dragon point of weakness.

Sandbar: I know why *snickers*

Smolder: Don’t you dare tell them.

Sandbar: It’s because she loses almost all balance when you touch it whilst she’s walking *laughs before running away*

Ocellus: Oooooh. Equilibrioception . Interesting.

Smolder: *angry blushing* SANDBAR! GET BACK HERE! I said not to tell them!

Sandbar: I’m surprised he’s not putting up more of a fight

Ocellus: It’s surprisingly difficult to try not to react to tickling and put up a fight.

Yona: Yona thought only Yona was allowed to touch Griffon’s head.

Smolder: I think you’re the only one allowed to pat him. I can’t see him doing anything to stop Ocellus though. Too fragile.

Silverstream: Didn’t Gabby pat him too?

Gallus: Shhh. I’m pretty sure she always appears when someone speaks her name.

Gabby: Gally!

Gallus: Oh feathers...

Yona: Yona thought Sandbar was already friend *blinks*

Sandbar: We are! Of course we are friends, Yona!

Yona: *Pouts* Then why Sandbar asking if he wants to be friend. Sounds like Sandbar has bad memory.

Sandbar: It’s part of the curriculum! We need to be able to ask for friendship with everycreature!

Gallus: That sounds a little needy.

Smolder: At least when Sandbar says it like that.

Gallus: I mean, seriously, this is on the syllabus? Give me a challenge!

Ocellus: Well I have a book on the trigonometry of glomps that Professor Pinkie gave me to study. It’s quite advanced! *nods happily*

Silverstream: Yuh-huh! There are some pretty graphs showing stuff like a moving pony under non-uniform acceleration! I can’t wait for it to go into kinematic quantities of a classical part.... *rambles on eagerly*

Gallus: *Blinks*

Smolder: *Turning to Sandbar* So.... want to go over how to ask people to be friends again?

Smolder: Only Ponies could have such an ‘thing’ as that...

Sandbar: You saying you don’t want a doughnut Smolllldy *smirks*

Smolder: *Grumbles and takes one*

Yona: Dragon made good choice.

Gallus: Where did you whip these from at such short notice anyway? They actually taste fresh.

Silverstream: There were loads of backup treats at the ball! They would’ve been thrown away if we didn’t nom them. And that’d be sad!

Ocellus: Wait. These are stolen?!? Silver! That’s a horrible thing to do!

Silverstream: Huh? Nonononono. Professor Pinkie Pie was in tears at the thought of them being chucked so she let me take as much as I could carry!

Ocellus: Were they Professor Pinkies to give away?

Silverstream: *Scratches beak* Huh... I never thought to ask that...

Gallus: Contraband doughnuts. These suddenly taste a lot more interesting...

Yona: Yona is confused.

Ocellus: What by?

Yona: Yona thought Hippogriff good at singing. Why friend making such bad sound...

Smolder: Yeeeah. See what I’ve learnt from rooming with Silver is that if she casually sings, she has the voice of a Nightingale ..

Silverstream: D’aww, Thankee Smoldy!

Smolder: ....If she tries to sing, she sounds like a Yodelling Windigo dragging its claws down a chalkboard.

Silverstream: Hey! *pouts*

Gallus: Yeah... that sounds about right.

Sandbar: Sorry Silver, Honesty is the best policy.

Silverstream: *crosses arms and grumbles* Could’ve made it sound a little less horrible...

Sandbar: So... do I want to know why Smolder and Ocellus are pursuing Gallus at top speed around the school courtyard?

Silverstream: *noms on some popcorn* Gallus put a bucket of water over Ocellus’ door.

Yona: Dragon was with Changeling *chews loudly* Both got wet.

Sandbar: Huh.... Fair enough. We got bets going?

Yona: Four to one Dragon catches Griffon.

Sandbar: That’s fair. He’s a better flyer. And ‘Cell?

Silverstream: Two to one.

Sandbar: *blinks* That high?

Silverstream: He got her books from the library wet.

Sandbar: Right. *pinches some nibbles* Ten bits on Ocellus leaving more teeth marks and two on Smolder setting him on fire.

Sandbar: *snorts in his sleep*

Gallus: That is the shallowest puddle I’ve ever seen.

Silverstream: Trust Sandy to prefer the water closest to the shoreline to doze off on!

Smolder: It’s not even part of the lake we’re in. He made his own little barrier around it... I don’t think he trust you in the water after last time.

Ocellus: Last time? You mean when Sandbar was “Surfing”? *rolls her eyes*

Silverstream: It was just a little prank!

Yona: *Deadpans* Yona think Sandbar very calfish to not get over that. Has been long time.

Gallus: Says the one approximately one fathom away from the water.

Yona: Yona not scared of the water. Yona is rational. Yona is logical. She knows Yaks and water not good partners.

Silverstream: *Pouts* But what about our swimming lessons?

Yona: Yona take precautions. Yona also will try parachuting, since Yona ends up falling so often from high places.

Gallus: Yeah, you should really stop going to high altitudes...
