By the time you’re off your butt and turned towards the door, Twilight appears. You spread your arms and kneel at the same moment she half-extends her wings, looking like they were just opening for a downstroke. She gallops all three strides to reach you, rearing back as you wrap her in a hug. She wraps her forelegs around your neck, and her wings around your body, nuzzling the side of your head and nickering. You can feel the metal talons on each of her wings on your shoulderblades.
