Pipp smiled a she touched down lightly, tucking her wings back into their proper places, and taking a moment to realign any out of place feathers. Cantering around the side of a building she smiled as she spied Sunny. Sunny was so pretty, and nice, and... Pipp shook her head to get it back on straight, metaphorically, of course. She wasn't wrong, but she couldn't very well go flirt with the savior of magic! Well she could, of course, but it wouldn't be appropriate. On top of only knowing each other for a few weeks. But she could still, totally not creepily, watch her from a distance. She took a long moment to do it not creepily then stopped. She didn't want people to notice.
Sunny, for her part, had. She caught bright pink out of the corner of her eye. She grinned to herself. Pipp was less subtle than she thought. It was cute, and Pipp was cute Sunny had to admit. After noticing the first time Sunny brushed it off. She was an earth pony and Pipp had never seen one of them (though she hadn't ever seen a unicorn and she didn't stare at Izzy like that.) After the entire issue with the magic being sorted out Sunny assumed that Pipp would get over it. Since she obviously hadn't Sunny decided to sit down and have a think about it. She didn't have any compelling interest, but she did like mares, and Pipp was pretty, and nice, if a little vain.
Pipp started to make her way over to Sunny to say hello. Just hello of course. When she bumped into someone as she started to walk and blinked, shaking her head as she recoiled from the collision. "Sorry." She looked up to see she'd bumped into her mother, Queen Haven. "Hello..." She looked around and saw they were alone. "Mother."
Queen Haven gave her daughter a momentary frown. "You should look around more when you're walking, dear." She looked around to double check that they were indeed, outside of others hearings. "I've been looking for you."
Pipp did her best to hide her look of apprehension. This could be fun, or anything all the way down to horrifying. "For...?"
Queen Haven smiled and nodded. "A service to strengthen the royal family."
Pipp sighed, she wasn't a fan of these tasks, but she was the extra child. She kind of had a duty to her family to help. Zipp was fortunate to be the first child, the heir had other requirements, but they were simple. Don't embarrass yourself, don't cause family strife... Both of which Zipp ignored, but as the heir, there was nothing that could be done to her. "Want me to go and tour the new lands to bring attention to Zephyr Heights?" She wasn't opposed by default, but it being demanded was always a little grating.
Queen Haven shook her head. "No, I have a new target for you to win the affections of."
