Asim almost had to suppress a smile as the princess lowered her voice. His father had always told him that the pony's were to soft, in body and heart. How they could never survive the harsh environment and constant threat of predators. How 'the woods would eat them alive'. It appears his father was a bit wrong. These pony's, their leaders at least, seemed to have some more iron-bark in their blood than most of the deer gave them credit for.

But alas that was not the point. He was not 'untrusting' of the Shape-changer, as the ponys or other races present may be. He was 'un-nerved' by her. As embarrassing as that would be to admit, it would take to long to explain. The Shape-Changers were...Oh what the pony phrase be...something of a 'ghost story' for them. To Asim, meeting a shape changer was more like meeting a ghost rather than 'threatening beast' or 'dangerous race'. But that would take far too long to properly communicate. He bowed his head replied "I will take this into account."

He turned his head and watched, with slight amusement at how quickly the others began warm to the unlikely reveal. "Your breed continues to surprise me Princess. I shall do my best to fallow your example." At least that was what Asim said, though he wasn't so sure he would do exactly as the princess suggested. Oh he may talk to her about the trees and such...but about being a Shaman...Telling a Ka'eela anything about his cultural position before he knew her better. Until he was sure that she was not a 'Ka'eela' as he understood them, keeping things like that would be priority.

Kali nodded. It was still very shocking to find that a changeling was among them, but she did seem harmless. "Okay... I can see that. That's very interesting, I'd love to see what we can learn from you and Floret, Aster." She smiled, then turned to the younger pony. "So you are Happy Golucky? My name is Kali, good to meet you!" She offered him her hoof before looking at the cupcakes hungrily. "You don't. Ind me taking one, right?" She asked, licking her lips as she took a cupcake from the tray and took a bite. She closed her eyes and grinned in delight.

"Mmmm... These are wonderful. Now I'm no chef, but do you mind me asking what ingredients you used? Well, besides sugar and flour," she asked, taking another bite.

Happy watched enthusiastically as he watched the changeling transform into a perfect replica of him. Then clapped his hooves together when she finished. "That was great! You even got the voice right! Hehe. Like I said, I'm Happy Golucky. I think we'll get along great!" The Zebra then asked a question relating to her feeding habits. Happy never thought Changelings actually ate love like all the books claim. Simply that they got power when people were loving around them. Surely you couldn't actually eat emotions could you? Although... love flavored pie sounds like it would taste great! The red Earth Pony giggled at the thought.

His thoughts were interupted when the Zebra spoke to him next. She introduced herself and offered her hoof. Happy took her hoof, and shook it. Then she asked if she could take a Cupcake, and asked what he used to make them. "Hehe, go ahead. I brought them for you all to have. Thank you so much! Well, besides that, I used all the usual things. Milk, Eggs, Chocolate, all that good stuff!"
