The sky over the Milliways outdoors is blue and picturesque and scattered with fluffy clouds. There might be the occasional bird flying around, whether a patron or a forest animal. Also, you know, there's that big dragon gliding by.

Wait. Dragon?

Wait. What? appears to be the dragon's reaction too, at least if anyone around is good at reading draconic body language. It (she) soars in a great and wary circle, surveying the ground before landing warily by the lake.

She's huge, with green scales (properly brushed and polished, thank you) just beginning to go gray at the edges, and three horns (the third, stubbier than the others, in the middle of her forehead), and a quantity of extremely sharp teeth. "Now," she says to herself, "this is new."

(Meanwhile, whether or not anyone's noticed, the Milliways forest just got a little bigger.)

Kazul cocks a huge golden eye at her.

"The horses, or the unicorns?"

She just wants to clarify.

[no_vampires_plz]

"...there's a difference?"

[dragon_dealt]

That's new. All the unicorns Kazul knows would be mortally offended by the comparison.

"Horses don't have horns, and they don't generate their own magic. And they're rarely very intelligent."

"Unicorns are intelligent, and magical, and very beautiful. Most of them are quite proud of it."

Most of them are ridiculously vain, in fact, but we'll go for the polite version.

"Ohhh, I see the confusion," says Twilight, nodding. "In my world, unicorns are just a subspecies of ponies. All ponies have some magic, we're just the only ones who can cast spells."

[dragon_dealt]

"That is different."

Huh.

"Are they all as colorful as you are, too?"

Kazul is still annoyed at Milliways for appearing, in a background kind of way, but she's been successfully sidetracked now by intellectual curiosity.

[no_vampires_plz]

"Ponies come in every color," says Twilight. "It's still a little weird for me how... dull everypony is in the human world."

[dragon_dealt]

"Humans," Kazul confides, "are very peculiar creatures."

This is... not exactly a secret. To anyone. Except possibly humans.
