“Gee, Fluttershy,” Starlight Glimmer began as she picked up Angel Bunny and rubbed her nose against his, a sign of affection Angel was quick to return with a smile. “It must be great working with cute animals all day every day!” Starlight chuckled as she set Angel down, much to the bunny’s disappointment.  She turned towards the butter-colored pegasus as Fluttershy sat down a small bowl of food for a group of four ferrets. 

Fluttershy smiled warmly at the little fuzzy critters as they began munching away at their food, sometimes crawling over one another to get a better angle on the bowl. “Oh yes,” Fluttershy said. “It’s very rewarding.”

Starlight nodded. “It must be!” she giggled. “Domesticating and taking care of the local fauna, who you can even communicate with… It must be one of the most stress-free jobs in all of Equestria!” 

Fluttershy swallowed slightly as she gave Starlight a more serious look. “Do you, erm... know how many animals eat their babies?”

The smile on Starlight’s face suddenly jumped off a cliff in a desperate attempt to get away from the conversation. “Uh…”

“It’s kinda a lot…” Fluttershy informed.
