//-------------------------------------------------------// The Herd -by Night Skies- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 Spoiler for type of naughty content: some bisexual stallion+mare stuff, may not be everyone's cup of tea. It's a bright mid spring morning, and two ponies are waking up from a deep sleep, slowly waking up and pondering what the day might bring. Night, a blue batpony stallion decorated with white dapples much like stars, is lazily and comfortably laying next to the graceful Trixie Lulamoon, who he is very happily dating currently. Trixie is also relaxed and pondering something as she looks towards Night's back. "Night dear, do you like pegusi?" Night's speckled blue ears flick and stand straight up at hearing this. "I-I like you best of all Trixie", He says with a slight blush, looking over his shoulder at her and a nervous grin. "-And...?", she said, smiling knowingly. "Heh... Yeah I have a thing for them", he says, turning away again, holding a pillow. "Hehe, I knew it!", she said with a giggle. "How did you know??" Night says, eyes wide, rolling over to look at her, and hugging a pillow. "I caught you staring a few times and admiring their wings and ... other parts", eyes rolling. "Gosh am I that obvious?" Night says, face-hoofing and blushing. "I like batponies a lot too..." "Oh come now, you don't have to confess to Trixie. Anyone could have guessed that because-" She boops his chest floof, "You're a batpony!" "I never liked unicorns before you though", Night says, gently putting a hoof on Trixie's chest, at which she blushed. "A-Anyways", Trixie continued, still blushing. "There's a pegasus that I think could use some company. Would you like that?", she said seductively, giving him bedroom eyes. "Are you- you want to- are you sure?" He said, stammering. "Trixie can tell you like this idea...", she said, reaching down and poking him somewhere he did not expect. "I can tell" Night blushes hard with his eyes closed at the unexpected touch, hugs the pillow tight, and makes a small nod. ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ Rainbow Dash enters the locker room after her workout, a little tired but still full of energy for the rest of the new day. Lately she's had a little too much energy though. Man I really wish I could relax, I feel all worked up lately and there's nothing to do, she thought. Night and Trixie enter the locker room right after Dash, stretching here and there and wiping off the sweat. Rainbow, with her mane slightly curling due to sweat, turns towards them, surprised to see them. Rainbow studied Trixie's curves as she moved her hind leg up, highlighting the roundness of her flank, her gently curved light blue tail falling just between her cheeks, happening to block a view of her marehood. Trixie's eye's are closed with a pleased smile, and doesn't notice Rainbow staring at all. Trixie walks away towards the lockers, her hips moving side to side in a mesmerizing flow. Gosh, that's a mare! What am I thinking! I like stallions!, Rainbow thought, scolding herself and holding up a hoof to hide her face and look away. Looking the other direction she sees Night walking towards her from the stallion's bathrooms on the other side. A batpony! she thought, and looked at him as he walked in her direction. I've never seen one up close. As she looked her eyes locked onto his chest, dark blue fur glistening as he walked forward, and the powerful muscles visible under that, being tensed from a fresh workout and moving smoothly as he walked forward to pass Rainbow Dash. "Hello cutie", Night said as he walked past, returning her gaze. Rainbow didn't notice him staring back and quickly hid her face under her wing, blushing hard. "H-Hi", she said back sheepishly. After he passed by she looked after him to stare at his wings, So different, she thought, then she noticed his flank had a nicely round shape for a stallion, without being too much like a mare's. She caught sight of his decently sized sack as well, as he made no effort to cover himself, instead swaying his tail left and right as he walked. Oh my. Rainbow dash blushed harder as she felt uncomfortably turned on at the sight. "Come help me with this Night", Trixie said as Night drew closer. Oh, she thought, I guess he has someone. Aaah! Why am I thinking about this?. She covered her face again and looked down. Time to shower off I guess. Dash went over to one of the two shower rooms in the locker room and turned the water on, closing her eyes and relaxing under the warm stream, letting the water run through her mane and straighten it. Hearing hoofsteps come up to her, she opened her eyes to greet the fellow mare she expected to be near her. "Oh, hello Trix", she said as she saw Trixie preparing for her shower with a small bottle of shampoo. "Hello, looking good Dash" "Thanks", she said, turning back towards the shower head. "Oh," surprised to see the blue batpony stallion next to her on the other side, "Aren't the stallions supposed to be over there?" she said, blushing slightly. "I don't think so, is it supposed to be that way?", said Trixie. Night closes his eyes and looks up into the warm water, shaking his mane and flicking his wild-looking ears a few times, his color turning altogether darker under the water. Rainbow watched out of the corner of her eye, secretly fascinated with this new creature. Lifting his legs up and down a few times to get the water into all the cracks, she couldnt help but catch sight of his blue and pink member hanging down freely. This ones a show-er. She thought deliciously to herself before scolding her heated thoughts back to proper manners. She would be going crazy by the time she gets out of here if she doesn't calm down. Trying to calm her ever growing arousal, Rainbow tried to make normal conversation with Trixie. "He visiting from somewhere?" "He's my new coltfriend actually." "O-oh. I didn't know you were into bats." "Trixie didn't know either", she smiled warmly, enjoying the warm shower. "Say, do you want to come over for some lunch?", she offered, looking at Dash. "Well, I can't usually eat right after a workout, I'll get sick", she said nervously. He is distracting me way too much right now, I don't know if I could handle coming over for lunch!, she thought anxiously. "Well we were going to do the same, so we can definitely talk and catch up first." "I can tell you about where I'm from and such. ", Night said, nonchalantly turning off the water and walking to the back of the shower room. Dash, not able to help herself, her eyes followed him as he reared up and grabbed his towel from a hook, his tail happening to move aside to show the full extent of his equipment hanging down as well as his pink spot tucked under his tail. Her eyes widened as she didn't expect such a treat for her eyes, looking back ahead towards the wall with a grimace and an embarrassed blush slowly forming on her face. "Oh, don't mind him," Trixie said whispered reassuringly, "I don't think he knows what he's doing when he moves around like that." "Um", Dash started, "I guess... I could come over sure", she smiled at Trixie, giving in to the pressure. Shouldn't I tell her to keep her coltfriend from being his sexy delicious hot self? ... NO Dash! He's taken. Dash pondered internally. Dash sighed as she found herself able to calm down. Soon her Wonderbolt friends would be back, then maybe I'll ask one of them out if I really have to. Wait, did I just think of the mares too? ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ Night, Trixie, and Dash stepped into Trixie's semi-permanent house. The living room was not enormous, with a plush chair and a couch, and the kitchen behind a short wall with all the usual furnishings. The back of the house seemed to be some kind of workshop area with another room further down hidden from view. The main bedroom was right off of the living room though. The door was open and inside Dash could see the corner of a neatly made bed. The bedroom was well lit by multiple windows with drawn shades, the daylight glow pushing straight through them and brightening the room. Night and Trixie went straight into the bedroom to put down their stuff. "I've never been over your place before, Trixie.", Dash said as she put down her gym bag near the door. "When'd you get this place?" "Oh I just got it not long ago", Trixie answered from inside the bedroom. "Its a trailer home because I've never really lived in one place before. It can move if I want. " "But don't you still have your mobile home for your tours?", Dash said absently, looking around the place, unsure of where she'd be invited to sit. "Well yes, but-", Trixie started "-but Trixie does actually like the idea of settling down", Night continued "Some-day. ", Trixie interrupted. "Maybe soon I think", Night quipped back. "Stop it!", Trixie replied, sounding flustered. "Dash come over here." "Okay if you want" Dash trotted up to the door to look in. Trixie laid relaxed on her side on the far side of the large king size bed. Her forelegs stretched out infront of her, her back legs crossed and her tail comfortably laying behind her. "We just got this not long ago. Its supposed to feel as comfy as a cloud. ", Trixie said, stretching and relaxing as she rolled over onto her back, her belly arching forward, highlighting her soft navel. Dash looked at her secretly admiring her curved form. "Come try it, tell us what you think as a pegusi and weather expert. Does it feel like a cloud? ", Trixie said, patting the middle of the bed next to her. Dash trotted up to the bed and climbed onto it, laying on her side away from Trixie. She saw that Night was on the other side of the room putting his used gym things away and putting on some nice smelling spray deodorant. She closed her eyes to sink into the bed. "Its nice", she said warmly, "Its better than a cloud. Clouds can be cold and wet unless its summer when they feel refreshing in the heat. " Trixie shifted up behind Dash and hugged her from behind with a foreleg around her chest. "O-oh", Dash said, "Thanks", hugging Trixie's foreleg back. "No problem. I just thought you could use a hug. You've been looking so stressed and lonely lately. " she said looking down over Rainbow Dash's shoulder. "Y-yeah, the Wonderbolts are away on a really long tour and I had to stay behind. " "Oh... that stinks. ", Trixie cuddled Dash from behind, a slight blush showing on Dash's face. "Yeah, I was supposed to go but I got injured right before they left, and since I wasn't sure when I was going to recover, I couldn't participate at all, so I stayed here. " "That's like me having to cancel a tour on account of a cold. " Trixie said from behind Dash. "You don't mind me right?" "No, it's okay, I appreciate it. ", Dash said warmly. "I haven't had -- " She stammered, quickly rewording, "I really needed hugs. " "We ponies used to sleep in herds and cuddle up for warmth, this shouldn't feel that weird. ", Trixie added. "Yeah I guess", Rainbow replied. "My tail is a bit hot, can i move it?", Rainbow asked. "Sure" Trixie moved around to allow Rainbow to move her tail freely. "Oh!" Trixie jumped as Dash's tail accidentally flicked up Trixie's nether regions. "Ohh, oh no I'm sorry!", Dash said, finishing moving her tail underneath herself. "I didn't mean that I'm so sorry!" she said as she moved to get up. "No it's alright, " she put her foreleg on Dash's shoulder to slow her getting up. "I'm fine. I don't mind at all. That's what it's like being close in a herd right? " She reached around to hug Dash close. "Also, your comfy, I don't want you to go just yet." Rainbow Dash smiled and blushed slightly. She fidgeted with her back legs a little, feeling happy inside and a little warm. Night, having finished taking care of things, laid down facing away from the cuddling two. He moved his back legs out and in, and moving his flank a little trying to get comfortable. His wing that is on top extended slowly and back in again, settling. "Uh, do stallions usually join in like this? " Dash asked, uncertain. "I don't know really so I sat over here. " Night replied, facing away from them. He stretched his wing again lazily. Dash was transfixed on his leathery wings. "So different... Oops did I say that out loud?" She said, chuckling to herself in slight embarrassment. "Oh, you've never seen batponies before? " Trixie asked, hanging over Dash's shoulder. "I haven't. I thought they live far away and only come out at night. ", She said, looking at Night's back wing structure. "That's not true, we don't have to come out only at night, but we like that better. " Night replied. "Would you like a closer look? " Trixie asked, looking at Dash's face. Dash looked back at her with no answer and a slight blush. "Night, bring your cute ass closer. " Night shifted backwards towards them, bringing his back closer. "May I? " Dash asked "Of course", Trixie replied. "Sure", Night answered, looking over his shoulder, then turning back, extending his wing out fully. Dash ran her hooves along the various parts of Night's wing, studying the different sections. "Its amazing you fly like we do. Its so different. Oh, you have speckles at the top of your wing just like your back! I never would have noticed that. " Dash marveled. "We do fly different actually. Can't exactly fly the same with a different design. But we fly well. " Dash's hoof traveled to the base of the wing and Night shivered suddenly. "Oh, I'm sorry are you okay?" Dash asked. "It's fine, It's really fine, I'm just sensitive I guess. ", He said over his shoulder, with a slight blush, then turning back. Trixie hung over Dash's shoulder, watching with delight as Rainbow explored the batpony's back and wings. "...shh..." Trixie whispered into Dash's ear, taking Dash's hoof and moving it to a spot between his wings and just under where the left wing attaches. She motioned with Dash's hoof in a circle in the air just over the spot. Dash moved her hoof to the spot and rubbed in a small circle. "Oooh!" Night looked back, blushing bright red. "Be careful that's quite a spot for a batpony! I'm sure you pegusi just think that's a normal back massage! " Dash and Trixie giggled silently to each other, then Trixie moved her hoof to under the right wing as Dash moved to the left one and rubbed in a circle. Night drew in a deep breath at touch, "H-hey! I thought I- " Night turned over to look at the mares with their hooves out. "Oh you both were doing it! No fair Trixie! " "I'm gonna have to smush you for that!" Night moved into snuggle up close to Dash and put his forearms around both of them to hug them. Dash didn't seem to mind, happily hugging Night back, feeling his warmth, as they both giggled. Dash's tenseness fell away as she was being hugged between the two warm bodies. It was heaven being hugged from both sides. Suddenly she realized she felt a little bit wet down there. Oh shoot. I forgot feeling loved can also turn me on! Then she took a moment to sense around her to make sure she didn't feel so wet that someone would notice. She then noticed something hard against her belly. "Oh shoot, Night are you okay?" Dash said, looking at his blushing face. "Are you? " Trixie whispered close to Dash's cheek. Trixie moved her head down and licked a long lick up the side of Dash's neck "Mmmah", Dash moaned, her mouth opening and eyes closing in pleasure. Trixie kissed the corner of her mouth as Night took his long tongue and licked up the the other side of Dash's neck. Rainbow leaned into the kiss as Trixie kissed her deeply and held the kiss a long time. Night held Dash against himself with both forelegs as Trixie hugged her from the other side, while kissing her. The batpony breathed heavy on her neck while massaging Dash's lower back. I can't believe it... I can't believe... Oh my gosh not my lower back... Dash thought as she started moaning quietly against Trixie's kiss. Trixie leaned deeper into the kiss as she put her tongue inside Rainbow's mouth to play with her tongue. Dash moaned against the kiss as Night moved down further to massage her flank cheeks, spreading them out occasionally. Trixie moved her hips against Rainbow's bare flank, the rainbow tail already out of the way so that Dash felt the other mare rubbing against her from behind. "Aaaahn~" Dash moaned loudly as she came just from the anticipation. Her folds becoming wetter with each passing moment. Trixie moved her legs around Dash's, further surrounding her flank and leaning deeper into the kiss. Dash broke from the kiss to look at down at Night, who was still massaging Dash's flanks and enjoying her chest fur at the same time. Trixie and Night came up and kissed each other deeply, Night's long tongue drawing out of Trixie's mouth. Night then came down closer to Dash's face. He kissed her and felt around with his tongue inside her mouth. Dash eagerly pushed her tongue into Night's mouth as well, tasting the different flavor of a batpony for herself. Night's tongue was longer than she thought and Night played his forked tip at the back of her throat. "Gukkk! Mmmmm" Dash gagged and partly moaned as the long tongue hitting her spot down inside her throat. Night pulled his tongue inside his own mouth, but let Dash explore further. Dash began to kiss him passionately as she pulled Night into a tighter hug. Dash didn't notice that Trixie had turned around behind her until she felt a soft muzzle start poking at her nether regions. "Mmmmm" Dash blushed hard as she moaned against Night's lips as she kissed him. "Wait, I want to try something ", Dash said as she laid on her back and spread her legs next to Trixie. "Is this better? " "Mmmm~" Trixie said as she swung one leg over Dash's body and half sat her ass down infront of her face. "Oh, I didn't think you would... " Dash looked blushing at Trixie's delicate pink folds and pink asshole surrounded by an ocean of soft blue fur. "... do it like that. " Trixie pushed her muzzle against Dash's clit. "O-ohhh!!," Dash arched her back at the sudden contact. Trixie smiled as she put her lips softly around Dash's clit and began to suck gently. "Mmmmm~~~" Dash moaned. Night came up next to Dash with a grin on his face as he admired Trixie's ass as she worked. He moved his hoof to stretch and play with her cheek, stretching her pink spot open slightly. "Mmmf!!" Trixie moaned in surprise from her sudden increased arousal. Dash looked at Trixie's soft cheeks and began grasping them herself. Trixie's warm lips caressing her lower lips was beginning to feel amazing. Dash explored gently with Trixie's own glistening folds and decided she felt like returning the favor. Moving her long pony neck upwards Dash put her muzzle near Trixie's marehood and drew in the sweet scent. She couldn't help but taste as well. Pushing her muzzle inside Trixie let out a loud moan as she was forced to take a break from caressing Dash's marehood. Dash grasped hard at Trixie's cheeks as she pushed further inside of her, slipping her tongue deep inside to lick up the sweet juices. Night didn't seem to mind not being directly involved, instead choosing to kiss Dash's cheek and hold her hoof tight as he rubbed his hard member against the side of Dash's flank. As Dash worked deeper, Trixie's hips started to move on their own in slight gyrations until Trixie let out a loud moan and her legs shook, letting sweet juices squirt out over both of the faces behind her. Trixie relaxed on top of Dash for a moment, feeling the afterglow and resting her face against Dash's warm pussy. "Wow Rainbow, you surprised Trixie... ", she said, panting with her mouth open and tongue outstretched. "But now it's Trixie's turn. " She got up and turned around, sitting in between Rainbow's legs. Trixie raised one of Rainbow's legs as she shuffled closer into position. Hugging Rainbow's leg to herself, Trixie began to move her marehood close to Rainbow's until they met, then began to grind in short movements against it. Dash took in a deep breath at the new feeling of feeling a mare rub against her. She moaned loudly as Night came up behind her to cuddle her from behind and view his marefriend pleasuring herself against the Pegasus. He rubbed Rainbow's chest fur slowly and nuzzled her neck as she moaned loudly. Finally she couldn't hold back anymore and squirted all over Trixie as she ground against her. Night held her as she rested and felt happily warm inside. Trixie came up beside her to kiss her cheek and cuddle as she caught her breath. Dash looked at Night, who had now changed positions to rest between them. She looked longingly at his stallion cock as it stood tall, weeping small amounts of fluid. Trixie reached for his cock and lead it closer to the two mares, putting it between their mouths. They both ran their tongues along the length of his shaft, caressing it with their tongues. Trixie eagerly put her whole mouth around the tip and pushed it deep into her mouth, slicking the whole surface of the blue and pink shaft. Rainbow worked down the shaft and began sucking on a corner of the large sack at the end. "Aaah~~" Night shivered in pleasure and surprise. He reached out to touch and caress each mare's back with a hoof as they enjoyed him, smiling down at them in between gasps and shivers. Trixie let off of his cock and Rainbow slid her muzzle up the warm shaft and eagerly took it into her mouth right after, sucking up and down on it and tasting the flavor of the batpony. Trixie stood up and hugged Night from behind as he shivered and moaned from Dash's soft lips. "I thought you didn't like this that much. " She whispered over his shoulder. "I d-dont actually... I t-thought I couldn't feel it very w-well. " Night said, gasping in between words. Night drew in one too many short breaths and began to feel light headed. He leaned back heavily against Trixie's shoulder, but she held him from falling. "Uh, just a moment, I didn't expect to enjoy that so much...", he said, trying to slow his breathing. Trixie continued to hug him, staying close in case he needed anything. After a few moments Trixie could tell he was alright. "I think it's Night's turn for some fun... " Trixie said with a naughty smile. "Mmmm" Night said as he climbed overtop of Rainbow Dash as she fell on her back, who was growing more excited at the prospect. "No not yet silly" Trixie pushed his head down between Rainbow Dash's legs, poking her marehood with his muzzle. "Huh?", Night said, surprised. "Show her what it's like!" Trixie said, standing behind Night's raised flank. "Oh... yeah, I was hoping to. " Night said as he brought his muzzle close to Rainbow's marehood. Her face was surprised but still excited at what he was going to do. She spread her legs a little wider, bringing herself up to touch Night's lips with her blue lips. Night began as he put his whole mouth around Dash's marehood, licking shallowly between the folds, tasting her. "And I'll show you something new. " Trixie said, going down infront of Night's flank. Night's eyes widened as he looked away for a moment, wondering what was going to happen. As Night pushed his tongue inside Rainbow Dash's marehood, Dash had an expression of absolute bliss as the batpony tongue stretched her wider as it went deeper into her. "Aaahh~~~" she moaned passionately, "That's ... that's amazing". Night began tongue-fucking her while holding onto her cheeks. Then his eyes grew wide with surprise as Trixie grabbed his cheeks and pushed her muzzle right against his pink stallion hole, kissing it. "Trixie! Aaaah~~", he moaned as she snaked her smooth tongue right inside of him. "Aaah ~~~", he almost let out a moan as Rainbow pulled his head right back down into her pussy, selfishly not wanting it to stop. He moaned into her pussy, unable to hold it back. Dash began rubbing her clit as she appreciated Night's moans into her pussy and Trixie hard at work pushing her tongue deep inside and rubbing his spot. Night's moans grew louder and Dash and Trixie grew even wetter hearing such cute moans from a stallion. Eventually Trixie got up and sat on top of Rainbow Dash, their clits touching once again. "Ready enough big boy?" Trixie said over her shoulder, giving him bedroom eyes. Night eagerly mounted both mares, and prodded his cock between both of them. He ground his cock between their marehoods, slicking it further. Night wasn't really sure who he should go for first, he didn't want Trixie to be offended, so he just kept grinding trying to make up his mind. Between thrusts, Trixie suddenly pushed Night's cock downwards so it sunk deep into Rainbow Dash. "Mmmaah~~" She cried out loudly, as Night slowed down and began more gently thrusting into her. Trixie leaned down and kissed Dash passionately as she took the stronger and stronger impacts of the stallion between her legs. Dash squirmed under Trixie more and more until she cried out. "Aaah! Buck!" she came strongly and soaked the stallion's cock, still thrusting inside of her. Her left leg, pointed into the air, shook a little as she panted under the aftershocks of a huge orgasm. Trixie stared down into her face, with Dash's tongue hanging out and her eyes rolled back in complete bliss. Trixie stared down satisfied, before leaning down and making out with her tongue. Rainbow returned the kiss deeply and held Trixie's face as well. They rested against each other before Rainbow got up to clean herself up. Night hugged against Trixie's flank. "Night, " Trixie called back to him, "Please continue, I know you're not done." Trixie rolled over and laid on her back. "I want to look at you like this while you take me. " She said looking into his eyes. Night leans down and kisses her as he pushes inside of her. Closing his eyes he starts to buck against her. "Whoa, he's really into you...", Dash pauses at the base of the bed, watching. Dash watches from behind drooling as the stallion bucks and stretches Trixie's pussy wide. Trixie sees Dash drooling and staring and nods her head at her. I think she means, whatever you want to do, go for it! She thought, her eyes wide and her cheeks flushed. I guess... I want to try that... Dash places both her hooves on Night's flank cheeks. He opens his eyes wide, blushing hard, slowing for a moment. "Shhhh... I know you like this." Trixie pulls him down into a deep kiss. Rainbow Dash licks up the side of the stallion's balls and finds his asshole. Night is moaning quietly into Trixie's kiss as he pushes in short thrusts. She then pushes her tongue against his pink spot, feeling the new sensation and fighting with the tensing stallion hole until she finally drives her tongue inside. "Aaahn!!" Night cries out before Trixie pulls him back in. Rainbow works her tongue in and out of him, it getting easier by the moment as he gets slicked up again. He's not making the same noises as before though, maybe I need to go deeper. She pushes her tongue inside until she finds a rough lump inside with her tongue. It's then that she feels the stallion tense up as she pushes hard against that spot. "Mmmaaah~~" Night moans loud, breaking away from the kiss. "Oh, it looks like she found it. " Trixie says smoothly as she takes him and hugs him as he keeps pushing inside her. At this point Rainbow is hitting his spot every time, making him moan loudly and feel like he's on the edge. Trixie is beginning to moan loudly as Night becomes more frantic to cum, being driven crazy by both mares on him. "Aaaahn~" Night's cum shoots into Trixie and he thrusts deeply several times, making sure to get all of it inside. Trixie takes his head and kisses him deeply. "You forgot to ask where I wanted it silly. " Trixie says smoothly. "I-I uh... how would... what-" "Shh" Trixie says putting a hoof over his mouth. "I'm just joking you doof. " She kisses him deeply. Rainbow climbs onto the bed next to them, exhausted, but then hugs Night who is laying between them. "Are you feeling better Rainbow? " Trixie asks. "Oh yeah... I'm feeling much better. " She says, hugging Night from behind. "You planned this all along didn't you. " "It was her idea. " Night said, pointing a hoof at Trixie. "You didn't have to help out. " She said, shrugging her shoulders. "I love you guys. " Dash said, climbing on top of them in a pile and giving a huge hug. Night and Trixie both lean in to kiss her from both sides. Author's Note I hope that wasn't terrible. I haven't done this type of writing before. A bit of my inflection on Trixie's character, I thought it made some sense: The Trixie here may not always refer to herself in the 3rd person. She refers to herself normally most of the time and only uses the 3rd person when she's in a certain mood. At some point in the show she became more genuine with others and that is reflected above by her not using the 3rd person so much to set herself apart.
