So, Johanna has to teach something? Not a great idea. She's not a bad teacher, she just has no idea what she's supposed to be doing when it comes to these kind of creatures. At lest there was Fluttershy to give her an idea.

"So, everyone... pet the horses I guess."

Yep, you're really not going to get any good training from her.

"If you want to learn how to fight, i can teach you that, but nothing with horses."

[and there's a young woman with familiar sparkly, magical hair who's looking extremely skeptical]

[HEAD TILTING AT HER.]

... Luna?

[3_butterflies]

[For those of you who want to interact with the Pegasi, come toward the pink-haired human wearing a gigantic yellow sweater. She's actually talking to the horses, nodding occasionally, petting their manes and looking quite at home.]

Well, maybe we can try to improve the food around here... Sometimes people might want to ride you for an emergency, but they really ought to ask permission first... Here, let me straighten your feathers for you, I know that can be annoying to fix...

[not_like_the_rest]

[Johanna walks closer, but speaks before she's too close so she doesn't startle her.]

How are they doing, Fluttershy?

[3_butterflies]

[She's still a bit surprised, but at least she's much calmer around you now. She turns around, nodding.]

They're all okay. They're a little different from what I'm used to, but it's not too bad.

[not_like_the_rest]

[That's good. Johanna isn't a bad person, just ... Johanna. Yeah.. .anyway! She's being nice now.]

That's good. Anything they want to do today?

[3_butterflies]

Some of them would like to stretch their wings... You know, fly...

[ensemble_dark_horse]

[she nods in greeting] Johanna Mason. Thou art a teacher?

[not_like_the_rest]

That's cool. Anyone willing to let the campers ride along? Or at lest pet them?

[not_like_the_rest]

Huh. [more staring at, but then she shrugs.]

Yeah, but I don't know anything about these guys. [she nods at the Pegasi.]

[3_butterflies]

[She idly begins pointing to a few.]

... They can be very sociable, if you treat them nicely...

[not_like_the_rest]

Good to know.

...

uh, should I say hi or something?

[3_butterflies]

They'd like it.

[not_like_the_rest]

[awwwwkkkkkwarrrrrrrrd. Lucky, Johanna is a good actress and smiles, waving at them.] Hey guys. I'm Johanna Mason. [sob, what is her life? Whatever. maybe they would take her flying.]

[3_butterflies]

[There are a few nods here and there.]

They're happy to meet you.

[not_like_the_rest]

[Johanna nods.]

This would be awesome if I could understand them too. [before biting her lower lip.]

So, anyone who wants to help with class can come with me?

[3_butterflies]

[A few of the horses begin stepping out, and Fluttershy lightly pets their wings as they pass her.]

Be good! I'll be right here if you need me... Don't strain yourselves.

[ensemble_dark_horse]

[a frown] Their care should be similar enough to the other ponies - except for their feathers of course.

[she just shrugs] I preen my own feathers. I know not what they are accustomed to.

[learns]

Fluttershy!

[ GUESS WHO'S HERE? And actually walking over!

And not tripping this time! ...Although obviously not too steady on her feet still. ]

[stalkershiki]

[Shiki goes up to one of the horses and begins petting her a little, and it's all sweet and stuff, but... she already knows how to pet a horse. It's somewhat intuitive. So, after a little bit, she turns to Johanna.]

...What kind of fighting can you teach?

[3_butterflies]

[Oh, so happy!!!]

Twilight! Look at you!

[not_like_the_rest]

Hand to hand. I'm good with an Axe too. Stuff that can save you if someone is trying to kill you.

[stalkershiki]

I already know a fair amount of hand to hand, but... I mean, when you get a moment, if you don't mind, it'd be kind of cool to learn some axe fighting...?

[not_like_the_rest]

[When one of them comes closer then the others to her, she smiles and pets its neck.]

Thanks, Fluttershy.

[3_butterflies]

Mmm, it's no trouble... it's as easy as you talking to another human.
