* TooImportantToWalk: Blueblood travels from the Crystal Empire to Yakyakistan in a palanquin. However, on the way back, he's forced to walk because it's too stuffed full of gifts for him to fit. He doesn't mind since the return trip is mostly downhill. However, given the diplomatic savviness he displays during the comic, one wonders if he knew the palanquin would be useful for such kinds of transportation.

Once in Yakyakistan, the two meet Prince Rutherford and Shining attempts a traditional yak greeting, which only serves to anger Prince Rutherford. Shining continues to work at negotiations, following the advice Twilight gave him but finds each attempt only gets Rutherford more upset. That evening, when Shining returns to the guest quarters, Blueblood insists everything is alright, and tells Shining to relax. Shining inadvertently falls asleep and when he wakes up he finds Blueblood gone. He races through the yak's palace only to find Blueblood relaxing and socializing with Prince Rutherford, and has easily negotiated a trade deal. As they complete the rest of their mission without further incident, Blueblood has to remind Shining that he is skilled as an ambassador despite his haughty nature, even if he does often avoid the more physical activities.

Princess Cadance and Shining Armor are about to head to Yakyakinstan to negotiate a trade and peace agreement with the leader of the yaks, Prince Rutherford, and Twilight Sparkle provides her brother with some last minute advice. However, just as they about to leave, a situation arises that requires all four princesses, but Princess Celestia still insists Shining Armor go, and provide a replacement for Cadance -- Prince Blueblood. Blueblood does not rub Shining the right way on their initial encounters, as Shining feels him too pompous, particularly when Blueblood insists on traveling to Yakyakinstan via a pony-pulled palanquin while Shining insists on walking. Shining comes to quickly realize that Blueblood will be of no help in the hard work ahead and takes steps to try to keep him out of the negotiations.
