Honestly, she did. But sometimes, the changeling made that so difficult. Like now, for instance. For some reason she and her workerfriend, her parents, Shining and Cadance, were seated around a table covered in a cloth with, of all things, a cooked turkey in the middle. Given that Chrysalis was the only one at the table who could stand the smell of cooked flesh, let alone not get sick from eating it, the atmosphere was about as awkward as one would imagine. Besides the turkey, thankfully, was a wide spread of herbivore meals. Mashed potatoes, cherries, the list went on. Twilight wondered just how Chrysalis had gotten this much into their home unnoticed, or how many ambers it had cost the changeling. "Why are we celebrating this again?" Cadance asked. "Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for what we have, what changes have improved our lives for the better," Chrysalis said nobly, raising her snout just enough to give her an air of grace, but not so much that it would be seen as snobbishness. "It is something worth reflecting on." "No, I got that," Cadance said. "What I don't get is why we're celebrating it, since it's a griffon holiday." Chrysalis blinked dumbly, as if not understanding the question. The pink alicorn sighed. "... never mind. Ms. Velvet, could you please pass the biscuits?"
