Adjutant was a former high-ranking changeling under Chrysalis, and now runs a changeling colony in the Everfree Forest under the auspices of Princess Twilight Sparkle. Anyone, changeling or pony, would be lucky to have the attention of a changeling of her status, so why does the only one she desires spurn her attentions?

Surely they can put aside their differences to reach a convenient arrangement?

This a side story that takes place after Spectre of the Past, though it's intended to stand by itself.
