A Near Miss

Before the guard changelings had even landed, Tessy was already ordering them about, commanding one to inform the hive leader of Spleen's arrival, two more to arrange VIP lodgings, and the rest to form an honor guard to escort Spleens and friends to meet the hive leader in person.

"Ma'am!" Tessy barked to Spleens while saluting, "Would you and your friends please accompany me to the hive leader's office? She will most certainly wish to welcome you back to the hive in person."

"Um," Spleens began, slightly taken aback, "Sure... But what about our caravan? I don't think we should just leave it here by the road."

At this, Tessy pointed a hoof towards four separate changeling guards in turn before nodding towards the caravan. As one, the four saluted smartly before flying over to the corners of the caravan, which they then dead lifted into the air, flying off towards one of the hive's towers.

"Your caravan will be placed near your rooms, and will be guarded." Tessy announced.

Spleens looked over to Near Miss and Long Shot, both of whom shrugged. "Lead the way then," Spleens told Tessy, and with that they were off, the changeling guards extending their wings out proudly as they escorted their guests towards the hive.
