T: * comes out of Hearthfire Jewellery and notices Fletcher * Hey!
Fletcher: * looks over * Oh, hallo.
T: Fletcher, right?
Fletcher: Mmhm. And you’re Princess Starburst’s dragon friend, Turquoise Blitz.
T: Half dragon. And yeah, that’s me. You could call me T if you want. My mom went overboard with my name. It’s a bit of a mouthful * chuckles *
Fletcher: Okay. T.
T: So what brings you to Ponyville? Don’t you live in Canterlot?
Fletcher: Yes, but Del and the Princess invited me to train with them today at Sweet Apple Acres but I think I’m a bit lost.
T: Oh, well, I’m heading over there now. You could tag along with me if you want
Fletcher: Ah, that would be great. Thank you.
T: No prob.
Fletcher: * content sigh * It’s nice to be away from Canterlot for a while.
T: Canterlot too stuffy for you?
Fletcher: A little bit. Where I come from, there is a lot of open spaces to run freely but in Canterlot… not so much.
T: I feel you. I like being outside in nature much more than cities and buildings. But of course, my mother and my sister LOVE those kinds of places. I’m so glad we moved here while I was still young
Fletcher: Where is your sister?
T: See that jewelry shop I just came out of?
Fletcher: * nods *
T: That’s hers. She’s “working” right now
Fletcher: “Working”?
T: Oh, her coltfriend is over. He’s probably distracting her
Fletcher: That’s not good if she is working. Why would he do that?
T: He’s known to be a bit on the… crazy, chaotic side. I believe you know him
Fletcher: I do?
T: * whispers * It’s Prince Illusion
Fletcher: She is with the Prince?
T: Yep. They’ve been together for a long time now.
Fletcher: Wow, I wasn’t aware
T: Most ponies aren’t. Only close friends
Fletcher: I’m a close friend?
T: Well, you’re a friend of Starburst’s. And she seems to trust you a bunch so, I trust you too. Plus you’re a guard. I’m sure you won’t go giving away the Prince’s secret.
Fletcher: I won’t tell a soul
T: Good * smiles *
Fletcher: So…. your sister works?
T: Mmhm
Fletcher: What about you? Do you work too?
T: Yeah. Well… kinda. I’m more of an assistant…… to everypony
Fletcher: ?
T: Well, I’m not really sure what my special talent is. So I just kinda help out everypony and try to find my talent that way. No luck yet but who knows, maybe my talent is just being an assistant.
Fletcher: It must be hard since you have no cutie mark
T: Yep. That’s the dragon in meh I guess
Fletcher: What’s it like being a dragon?
T: Half dragon. It’s not that bad. It’s got a lot of perks for sure. The claws, wings, teeth, fire and size help in a lot of different situations.
Fletcher: I bet you would be a great guard
T: Well…. I could see why you might think so buuuuuut there’s one issue. Two rather
Fletcher: What’s that?
T: I don’t like hurting others and I’m…… terrified of blood.
Fletcher: Oh, well, I could see why that would be a problem
T: Yeah * chuckles * so I’ll just stick with helping others
Fletcher: Nothing wrong with that. Hey, where’s Anthea? Aren’t you two always together?
T: She’s out with some of her other friends. I hope she’s doing okay………
Fletcher: I’m sure she’s fine. You two are really close aren’t you?
T: Too close * chuckles * How about you and Star?
Fletcher: The Princess??? No! Our relationship is strictly professional. I just protect her. Because it’s my job
T: Yet you’re here in Ponyville to “train” with her.
Fletcher: I ……………..
T: Hey, I’m no expert in relationships and all that stuff. But Annie’s taught me things. Some are things I really would’ve rather learned after we get married but I am learning things.
