>you just adopted a fluffy blue unicorn pony
>the shelter said she had a previous owner, but you didn't get any details
>all you care about is that you have a new fluffy pony
>and that you didn't have to pay as big an adoption fee
>bring her home and let her out of her carrier
>she toddles around, getting familiar with her new home.
>she's much quieter than you expected - she hasn't said a word since you saw her.
>in fact, she seems to be making an effort to make as little noise as possible
>but she's still very energetic and playful and she loves the new blocks you got for her
>while she's occupied with those, you start on dinner
>you hear a cute little sneeze
>you turn to look at fluffy pony
>fluffy pony's big yellow eyes widen in fear and she immediately ducks down and covers her head with her fluffy little hooves, shaking as she tries to cry quietly.
>she does this every time she makes any kind of noise
