Yeah, though foolish younger sbiling and reponsible older sibiling is played straight here so potentially subverting it would've been interesting.



For me, I was more wondering how Zephyr got his cutie mark. If they asked that, it could give them a way to look what could he be good at and a pretty good exploration for cutie marks.



But the far more interesting one is what-if he didn't know. That beneath his cocky exterior is a even broken stallion who's ultimate shame is the fact he could not remember why or how he got his Cutie Mark and is plagued by indecision and despair as a result. It would've added a fair more emotioal impact and probably some development for Fluttershy when she realizes she did not notice this problem because of her reluctance to do much with him.
