_“Thanks again for coming by on such short notice, Winter, I couldn’t find anyone else to help me with testing out the airstrip’s new airship maintenance systems. Things seem to be going fine so far…“

“Mmf mmh mmph mh mmfhmh mmph mhmmh mmff mh mmph?“

“What? No, of course this wasn’t just an excuse to turn you into a cute blimp! Now, uh… right, testing the thing, um… oh! Right, we should check how… strong the hose is! Yeah, that. Gotta make sure it won’t rupture or anything!“

“Mmf… mmph, mmh?”_

It’s starting to turn fall in Ponyville, so naturally it’s the best time to see about installing an airship refilling station at the ol’ Ponyville-adjacent Aerodrome! Of course, can’t properly open a new system like that to the public, so I <del>tricked</del> recruited the help of Winterlight for <del>filling him full of helium for a laugh</del> testing it! Things are going well, but up next on the test criteria is seeing about how the hose fares against a sudden blockage. I have a feeling Winter’s gonna be less annoyed in a few moments~
