Flurry Heart was happy to fade into the background for a few hours, while Princess Twilight spoke to a frightened crowd of dirty refugees. She made vague promises about how much work they were doing and their plans to take Equestria back, without giving any specific dates or details. When ponies looked at her at all, it was mostly with pity. She never took off her robe, and without her cutie mark they didn’t seem able to identify her. Considering how often she’d appeared on broadcasts and how her statements begging for surrender were being printed, she wasn’t in any hurry to identify herself.
