>You let your gaze wander for another moment before you call the others.
"Okay, it's set up."
>Firefly is the first pony who follows you through the door.
>Sky Squall is following her right away, with #deca.mare being closely behind the stallion in turn.
>And Firefly in particular marvels at the scene as the door to the deck vanishes into thin air.
>"Incredible."
>You grin.
"So, you like it?"
>The mare stares at the planet as she replies.
>"I do."
>She pauses for a second.
>"It really puts things into perspective."
>The mare turns to you.
>"This is the exact scale now?"
>You give her a nod.
"Yep. That's how big we are in comparison to the mother ship. And Equestria, for that matter."
>As you say the name, the magenta Pegasus turns to the planet again and eyes a familiar continent.
>She does not have to say anything.
>You spot the signs on your own.
"That's why you wanted to be here, eh?"
>She nods.
>"Right. To see it with my own eyes, even here as an imitation, is something else. Watching this through the 'eyes' of one of the ships... it's not the same."
>You go on for her.
"Because the perspective and scales are different."
>The magenta mare nods again.
>"It's fine to work with them when it's necessary. But if I had to choose, I'd always prefer my own point of reference."
>Sky Squall smiles and wraps a wing around her back.
>"That won't change, love. Because we're still Pegasi. And we always will be."
>She reciprocates the gesture with her own wing and the two start to lean against each other in the process.
>And you believe that you might have spotted just the mere hint of a tiny smile on the face of the mare.
>Not her usual confident grin that she may show in practice matches or other contests, but one of another, more smitten kind.
>It barely seems to shine through for a brief moment before her expression changes to a more calm, yet still relaxed one.
>And without saying another word, the pair walks to the campfire site.
>They make themselves comfortable on two of the cushions.
>#deca.mare and you do the same a few seconds thereafter as well.
>The four of you reach for the boxes and hand each other some food of your choice.
>Once everyone has something to eat, you exchange friendly glances and start to eat and talk casually.
>Starting with Firefly.
>"Anon, Decanter?"
>You are about to respond, yet #deca.mare is just a smidge faster than you.
>"Yes, Firefly?"
>You cannot say why, but you think that #deca.mare chimed in on purpose.
>As if she had felt that she should speak in this case.
>And considering what Firefly is going to ask, this would be a fair assumption.
>"Speaking of being Pegasi, how long until my new body is ready?"
>Definitely #deca.mare's expertise.
>"The gestation process is coming along nicely. At the current rate, I would say the body is ready in two weeks."
>The magenta Pegasus nods briefly.
>"Not counting the 'special procedure', I assume."
