20:10 Evening_Breeze waves
20:11 FriskChangeling waves back
20:11 GyroFeather gasps! How did his master find him here!
20:11 < Evening_Breeze> :p
20:12 Evening_Breeze pounces Gyro, he's surprisingly easy to find
20:12 GyroFeather sqeaks and wiggles from underneath the changeling.
20:12 FriskChangeling gives a cookie to Breeze as a reward
20:15 Evening_Breeze gnaws on the cookie as he settles himself down on top of Gyro
20:18 FriskChangeling looks at the unicorn. "Well, this one did steal your freedom, it seems. Are you sure you still don't want a cookie ?"
20:19 < FriskChangeling> (the unicorn being pinned down*)
20:20 Evening_Breeze blinks. "Steal? I stole nothing! He gave it to me quite willingly!"
20:21 GyroFeather levitates a cookie over to himself and then protests, "Yes you did...you ate me and then spit me out only if I signed away my freedom..." The pony bore a special marking that only other changelings could sense, Identifying him as breezes.
20:22 FriskChangeling tilts his head to the side. "Ooooh... This is interesting." He smiles some. "This is a kind of stealing, since you forced him, but I know how difficult it is to befriend ponies. Sometimes, we have to find a... More effective way to make one 'like' you."
20:25 Evening_Breeze snatches the cookie midway to Gyro with his own magic, scowling down at the pinned unicorn. "They are surprisingly hostile, for all that talk of 'friendship'. And they're disobedient as well. This one is lucky I like him so much, though he still hasn't learned how to ask permission..."
20:29 GyroFeather grunts and pushes up at Evening_Breeze, and with a little effort manages to roll his master up off of him. "H-hey! That's my cookie, an stop talking about me like I'm some kind of animal" he resonds, glaring at Breeze. He was certainly putting on quite the display for something thats supposed to be a pet.
20:33 Evening_Breeze rolls his eyes and places a delicate hoof on Gyro's back. "If you were properly dressed, and showing your master proper respect, I might be a little kinder."
20:33 FriskChangeling observes the two of them, only shrugging at Breeze's reply. "Well, on my side, it is working well. Of course it is not easy and a few like you because, well... You are a changeling." Frisk's smile slightly vanishes. "It is just a bit sad to see that doing efforts isn't this rewarding... But way enough. Got these cookies by helping for hours at the bakery only to remember they were closed today. So I got free cookies
20:33 < FriskChangeling> made with other ponies. Their thanks were way more than enough to fill me up !" The changeling looks at the plate. "And also enough cookies to fully feed at least three people."
20:38 GyroFeather frowns as he feels the hoof on his back and then shakes it off of him. Not even tartarus would make him weart that blasted collar in public... He looks back between the two conversing changelings and instead makes his way over to the plate of cookies, eager to have a bite or two of them.
20:42 Evening_Breeze turns to watch Gyro as his unicorn sidles away, frowning. Must be feeling bolder in public... He hisses between his teeth and yanks on the brightly coloured tail with his magic, pulling Gyro back away from the plate. "You're being awfully rude today, my pet." He levitates a familiar collar from his saddlebag and tuts gently to himself. "I was going to let you get away without wearing it, but..."
20:44 FriskChangeling blinks some, surprised by this behavior. But he just slightly looks away, wondering if this was the good choice. "Why couldn't he eat these cookies ? I won't be able to eat them all and I am willing to share."
20:45 GyroFeather yelps and skitters across the ground as the tail pulls the rest of his body backwards. Thankefully he id manage to snatch a cookie which he was rather happily munching on. With a mouthful of cookie though, he couldnt much respond and instead frowns at his master with puffed up cheeks, before subsequently gulping it down. He winces as he feels the click of the bright pink collar around his throat. "Ugh....cmon...why cant I? I just want a couple..."
20:49 Evening_Breeze deepens his scowl, rather roughly fastening the collar around his pet's neck now that they're closer, then glances back at Frisk with a sigh. "I wouldn't object if he'd ask me first, since he's supposed to be watching his figure, but I supposed he's decided to go back on all the progress we've made and act like a brat."
20:50 FriskChangeling could understand and slowly nods. "But won't this respect be... Artificial, in the end..?" he asks, seemingly worried. "Do you really think it is the best way to make them respect us as they would respect other ponies ?"
20:53 GyroFeather huffs and crosses his hooves, turning around and looking away from both pairs of changelings. "I can watch my own figure just fine by myself....thank you very much..." he responds and then lets out a low groan. His tail swishes back and forth as he hears the discussion, hoping that Frisk can convince breeze, but he doesnt voice that opinion.
20:57 Evening_Breeze shrugs, but his muzzle turns downwards. "Oh, we tried to be nice, believe me. But the ponies didn't take kindly to us, things went south, and I learned a lot from that." He reaches out and rubs at Gyro's ears, but doesn't look over at his pet. "You say that, Gyro, but you went straight for the cookies."
21:02 FriskChangeling stares at the other changeling for a moment before getting a bit closer. "According to you, why do ponies keep acting that way ? Maybe because we do act as monsters... According to what monsters are for them." Frisk sits down and continues. "Keep doing your best to get along their habits, and it will be fine after a while, as it did on my side. Lose patience, and... Things won't change. Want to see it another way ?"
21:02 < FriskChangeling> He smiles. "Well, would you rather force others to give you something or have them willingly AND happily sharing what they have ?"
21:06 GyroFeather fold shis ears down as he feels the rubbing against his mane and scalp but continues to pout. "one cookie isnt going to make me fat." Finally he finds he can no longer bite his tongue and makes a gesture over to Frisk. "Ya...maybe if you buts werent so terrible, ponies would let yo ube subservient to us." he remarks snidely, knowing that he'd likely regret that later.}
21:10 Evening_Breeze is about to reply to Frisk when Gyro chimes in, making the changeling heave a dramatic sigh and pull his hoof back into his side. "You see?" he says to Frisk. "This is exactly what I have to deal with. And not just at me, you should hear what he has to say about any pony who isn't a unicorn. Or anyone who isn't a pony at all." He turns slightly, shooting Gyro a glare that Frisk can't see. "It's very...irritating."
21:16 FriskChangeling would sigh and facehoof at the unicorn's words, not enjoying that at all. "If he knows how bad it is to be this... Subservient, willingly or not, maybe he'll calm down, sure." He then looks at Gyro and trots closer, lowering his head to look into his eyes. "Do you think I'm nice ? Do you think I'm docile ? Yes, I am. Both of them. But for one reason : food. I help people, they thank me, like me, and this feeds me. Or
21:16 < FriskChangeling> they feed me with hugs and gentleness, and in return I try to help. If no one helps me, I steal. No one owns me. I own no one. I could suck you dry from all of your energy, as any changeling could..." Frisk then smirks some. "You are a source of food, to us... If we kill you all, we won't have food left for some time. So instead, I want to find a way to be fed without having to deplete this previous resource... Got it ?
21:16 < FriskChangeling> I am NOT a servant..."
21:26 GyroFeather narrows his eyes and snorts at Frisk, turing away from him again after his little speech. "See, you show you and your race to be the monsters that you are underneath, even you who seems to think he's all well and refined. Could you? Sure, I suppose so but I dont thin breeze would take kindly to you killing his pet. Changeling's dont belong in this society. Your very pesence is destructive." The unicorn gets to his feet and turns his head up, walking away from Frisk.
21:29 Evening_Breeze bites down on his tongue, and yanks back on Gyro's collar, pulling him to an abrupt stop. "I'm sorry, but we have to be going now. It seems he has a few lessons to catch up on." He dips his head at the other changeling, giving him time to say his own farewell before he turns to stalk off, pulling Gyro along close behind him
21:32 FriskChangeling sighs and looks again at the unicorn. "You to are. You have the power to kill, such as us. But you don't kill... And neither him..." he briefly looks at Breeze. "... nor me." He would trot next to them to end what he had to say. "Want us to be nice ? Give us a chance, and we will show you we can. Don't give us a chance, and you'll be part of the ones who will never get help from any of us..." Frisk then nods at
21:32 < FriskChangeling> Evening Breeze, stopping there to let them go.
21:40 GyroFeather grunts and complains as he feels the pulling upon his collar, but follows along reluctantly, disapearing into the city with breeze as he's led on him.
