Potter Black sighed and picked back up the questioning. "Now Mr. Sprinter, we already have Professor Valleyfall's testimony on how active feeding goes about, but how do you do it? Do you do anything in particular to the person you feed on or can you just stand there and suck the love?"
"Well, active-feeding usually happens through either touch, such as a hug between me and a family member, or through an out-pour in love from one pony to me, say for example if I got a gift for my sister then there'd so be a wave of love flowing to me from her. In a word I'd say both," Sky replied.
"That works out," said Potter to Axle. "Thank you."
Cherry Ranger and Butter Gun wanted to ask the same question, but Cherry got there first. "Mr. Sprinter, suppose we allow you to join the Royal Guard. You might have access to your sister or family for active feeding during leave periods but suppose you don't for some reason. Or say, you forgot to active feed for the month, and you're starting to get dizzy while on duty or even just on base. What would you do?"
Before Sky could answer, Willowshire interjected something. "Wait, Potter, may I add to Cherry's question?"
Potter shrugged. "I guess, but make it short."
"Okay. Before you answer, Mr. Sprinter, I want to also ask what you think is most likely to happen based on your experiences in not active-feeding for a time."
