"Fascinating Prof. I travel a bit myself, I just came to Ponyville because I'm looking fo-" Colton stopped himself mid sentence and quickly and awkwardly composed himself, "I mean, uh, I'm here on business, I was transferred to Ponyville's weather team from Cloudsdale." Colton stated as he hoped nopony would notice his obvious slip up. Colton begged for a distraction, and luckily he got one. A small chirping noise came from his coat pocket and he immediately rushed over and pulled out his pet sparrow, Sparks, a brown and white bird with a slanted beak. "Sorry about that little buddy, you must have dozed off and I forgot about ya." Colton said whilst letting out a small, fake chuckle. Colton suddenly remembered his company, "Oh sorry, this is Sparks, say hello to them buddy." Sparks was still angry at Colton and ignored him. Colton shrugged and put the little guy down on the table, "By the way Prof, are pets allowed, because if they aren't then I'm sorry." Colton stated nervously as he always had trouble making first impressions.
