That seems to be it, yes. We can still feed by taking emotions by force, but there is no reason to now. And friendliness has made obtaining positive emotions far easier! *Thorax chuckles as they pass the nursery, and a small changeling nymph lands on his head between his antlers*

There is no good reason to take by force now, so we just...don't.

*blinkblink* *Thorax peers curiously at Malystryx* Er...hello?

*Thorax headtilts, regarding Malystryx curiously* Er...yes...we are changelings. This is the changeling hive after all! Where did you say you were from? And...er...who are you?

*Thorax knows full well Malystryx is lying, but doesn't push it* Well...you must be from another hive! I didn't know there were any besides ours and Chrysalis' hives. I'm Thorax! I'm...kind of...king around here. *Nervous smile* What's your name?

Well, it's nice to meet you Malystryx! Even if it is...unexpected. ...wait, did you say Queen Oniya? There's another queen?

*Thorax is thoroughly confused. Confused bug noises* Well...er...anyway, you don't seem unfriendly, so feel free to have a look around! Just be careful around the nursery. The grubs are...enthusiastic huggers. (Malystryx)

*Thorax hugs Malystryx back. She seems to be radiating friendship, so is happy to hug back* Yes. VERY enthusiastic huggers. Don't say I didn't warn you!

*Thorax's horns have been itching lately. Not a physical itch though. More a magical itch...*

*Thorax frowns, but shrugs it off. It'll go away in time* Ooh, a messenger bird! We have a new visitor coming! Busy days lately!

<Oh! Hello Anise! Long time no link! How are things?> *Thorax sends along the link to @mlp_Coaldust*

<Time travel! That explains my antler itching! Thanks, Anise! Oh, and do please come visit some day soon. We miss you here> (@mlp_Coaldust)

*Thorax returns to the throne room, settling down* Hmm? Visitors here? Show them in!

*Royal lovebug approved!*

*Is looking good today!*

Random doodle about changeling's tea! This is just an excuse to practice drawing changeling, mainly Thorax #mylittlepony #MLP #MLPFiM

*It's true! Their tea is made with love!*

*He tried in hippogryph form once for the Proud To Be A Hippogryph festival once* *He lost his voice for a week*
