On Mind Games part 8

[Fluttercruel is softly rubbing her head and one of her eyes is closed shut.]

Bucking headache out of nowhere... It almost made 'Shy crash.

Comments

[Fluttercruel's colors become more vibrant, the scars fade into nothingness, and the helping hoof cutie mark becomes three butterflies.]

Um, Pinkie Diane and I were just having a picnic with the three interviewers... I don't think I was worrying at all...

[casanovakinneas]

[This is new, more color in this horse than the pale greys] Sorry, it just sounded like you were a little...about that "'Shy" pers-pony-um...yea.

But I never meant to imply my dear, [Tips his hat and bows to the pony] Sorry, never properly introduced myself, Irvine Kinneas, at your service.

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy nervously shuffles a hoof in the ground.]

Um... Fluttercruel was talking about me... I was in control at the time...

...My name is... [mumblemumble]

[casanovakinneas]

Ahhh, so you're 'Shy, as she called you. [chuckles, pony or not, she's still a lady] Well it's a pleasure to meet you shy.

And don't worry, I don't bite or anything, see [Raises his hands up and just has a big old smile on his face] I'm harmless, especially to someone as pretty as yourself.

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy tries hiding behind her pink mane from the praise.]

Oh... um... thank you.

[casanovakinneas]

I guess the name shy means more than just a name huh? [Chuckles] But you're still cute, and doing that makes you cuter. [If Rinoa and Selphie saw her they'd hug her till she couldn't breathe]

You know you're really lucky.

[shy_kindness]

[Fluttershy starts blushing a little from all the praise. She mumbles something a bit, shyly shuffling her hoof some more.]

How... how am I lucky?

[casanovakinneas]

Well that's easy, you have someone who's looking out for you, making sure you don't get hurt. A guardian angel.

Shows you're important.

[shy_kindness]

[Heh. Never thought I'd be called one of those.]

Thanks, but... I'm really no more important than anypony else...

[casanovakinneas]

You're very selfless, Shy, but you have to realize that you're still important and special [Pats her head] So don't let anyone tell you other wise, okay?

[cruel_kindness]

[Fluttershy turns back into Fluttercruel.]

Don't worry, Irvine, I'll make sure no one bucks with 'Shy, Irvine. And I won't let her get separated from her friends and I.

[casanovakinneas]

[If it isn't the other pony. He just smiles] I know you won't, Fluttercruel was it?

[cruel_kindness]

Call me Cruelly.

[casanovakinneas]

Cruelly and Shy, sounds like sitcom or a really funny play.

[cruel_kindness]

Sit down. Have some popcorn. You've got the front seat.

[casanovakinneas]

I'd probably be the one laughing my head off too at all the wacky things you guys would do.
