Storm finally got that cuddle. Good for him.

I like this side story you've got going on here. Please continue it!

Well, all I can say is that these side bits need to be added to the 'mane' story, in their appropriate slots. They add to the overall storyline's thread nicely, and give insight to the characters and the world of the story.

I really liked the bartender's lament about 'insurance'. :)

Another 'side bit' might be a short piece about the bartender paying the Legion for the use of Unicorns to fix the broken furniture in the bar, and whatever other damages occurred. It would be cool to see the Thestral haggling with the bartender and getting some of the Legion's bits back. :)

Note for the Author: There ARE Earth Ponies in the Legion, some HAD to come from Ponyville. I wonder if any of them know about Spike's O&O games... With Discord as an occasional Game Master? THAT ought to Granite's attention. Perhaps an O&O session at Twilight's castle on the way back to Canterlot?

I should stop now... too many neat ideas in my head that may throw off the Author's Muse.
