“Fluttershy? That’s a pretty name. So I guess your pet alligator slobbering over my hand is some sort of welcome ritual? Not that I don’t like the sensation of wet, warm, slimy things around my fingers, but could you convince Gummy here to give me my hand back?”
 
The yellow and pink pegasus looks up at you, then back down. “Gummy, could you please let go of Mr. Anonymous?” It’s hard to read what expression the reptile has since it has the same face all the time. “…please? For me?” With that, it lets go and you move your hand out of the way, least it returns. The air makes your hand go from warm to cool, but a few swipes on your pant leg helps somewhat.
 
She lands and places the little green pet down, but doesn’t talk. You try to find some common ground with her. “I don’t know if alligators are common pets in Equestria, but I had a pet snake once.” With this, she actually gives eye contact. “A sort of test from my parents to see if I was ready for a pet that needed more maintenance. Didn’t get too awful big, about the size of this guy, but it was fun. Always kind of liked animals, you know?”
 
“…Gummy is Pinkie’s pet. I’m guessing you’ve met her… because of… glitter.” Oh yea, there’s still some on you from her near heart attack inducing surprise. “I was there when you were talking yesterday… at the town hall… I was going to ask about human animals, but there were too many ponies talking…”
 
Sounds like she is an animal lover, so maybe this can catapult the conversation. “So, you like animals, is that what you do? I’ve been looking for a way to earn some money, so maybe I could help out a bit?”
 
Fluttershy looks down at nothing in particular. “…yes, I live next to the forest and help the animals, but I can’t think of anything… I don’t get that many bits as it is… I’m sorry, maybe somepony else can help.”
