One of the perks of being a Queen was that you learned to savor the emotions others simply let radiate off themselves. You could stretch out your enjoyment of it for as long as you wished. Sitting across the table from the Sun Princess herself had at first seemed like a barren affair, the damned Alicorn gave not even the barest hints to her emotions. I'd sworn I’d gotten more from the ambient feelings that had seeped into the Hives walls through the millennia than I did in the two hours I’d spent with her.

It was then the ancestors sent me a gift. Her young Apprentice, that little purple unicorn I’d found so insignificant at the Wedding. She’d hardly changed in the year between then and now, the same gleaming intelligence in her eyes, and a flank you could bounce a quarter off of. The first thing I noticed was the sheer amount of curiosity wafting off of her was overpowering, sure it was chased with hints of anger, and apprehension, but she was nearly beside herself with the chance to question me.

I closed my eyes savoring the supple raspberry lemonade taste of her emotions. I let the time slow as I felt it and shivered dissecting the different emotions, the subtle heat of her anger, and strangely a slight hint of resentment. I blinked allowing myself back into the moment and then I bowed my head

“It is nice to meet you on proper terms Twilight Sparkle”

It would be fun to find the reason behind each and every taste.
