"Absolutely not!"
"But my King-"
"I said no, Fleetfoot," I snapped, unsure whether to feel anger or disbelief as she continued to try and sway me.
"But imagine how many we could be saving from Celestia!" she cried, stopping my next refusal dead in its tracks.
I took a deep breath, ignoring the small grin Chrissy hid as I caught her eye. "Explain."
Fleetfoot smiled widely before forcing her face into a neutral mask. "They're the dregs of Canterlot my King. The ones who were tossed aside when their worth was found wanting. Just walking by them was enough to feel the hatred they have for the nobility and royalty. All it would take is a friendly smile and helping hoof, and they'd convert to our side in a second."
"There is no way on this planet that they'd join us if they knew what we were," Chrissy interjected, the grin from before replaced by a sad smile. "Every time a Changeling was revealed to a Pony, they attacked without so much as a warning."
"That's why I think we should prove ourselves first," Fleetfoot explained, gesturing back to Pearl. "Pearl has a plan for that to."
"Indeed," Pearl cut in, smiling at Fleetfoot just a tad dopily before adjusting his expression to something more formal. "There's a rather nasty gang run by an even nastier mare by the name of Hard Iron. I firmly believe that if we manage to take her down and prove it to those she's extorts, we'd be in with a much better chance of accepting many willing converts."
Chrissy and I looked at each other, the scent of acceptance from her already solidifying my thoroughly fed up thoughts.
"This Hard Iron lady," I began. "What makes her so feared?"
"She's extorted the poor and homeless for years, my King," Pearl said, his face a mask of anger as he continued. "She gave my squad a rough time of it for just as many years. We could never catch her no matter how many times we tried. We fought and scuffled with her crew and even herself, but in the end she always got away."
"So is this a converting assignment or revenge, Pearl?" Chrissy asked bluntly, eyes narrowing.
"I'd be lying if I didn't say both, my Queen," Pearl replied, gritting his teeth angrily. "She's scum, plain and simple. I'd love to be the one to finally put her down."
Expanding on Pearl and Fleetfoot is my next goal for this tale!
And that's all you're getting for now ;)

I love the idea of em getting character development and this idea to expand the hive is a good idea. If for nothing else than to have meatshields to trow in Twilights path of madness...
