Celestia quietly stared at the closed door for a few minutes before she took a sip of her tea, and set the saucer back onto the diner table.
“And, that’s pretty much our most successful diplomatic meeting to date, as well as the shortest.” She concluded with a chuckle, glancing at the two alicorns across from her. Cadence was cooing lightly at the story, while Twilight’s eyes started to sparkle a bit.
“Omigosh, this is amazing!” Twilight squealed giddily. “Not only does an unlikely pair get their chance at true love, but now we have a subtle method of gathering information on the fresh, developing Changeling culture!”
Celestia rolled her eyes with a proud smile, and turned to her sister who sat beside her. “Which brings me to this point, Luna: how did you know?”
Luna glanced boredly up from stirring her coffee, and rolled her eyes. “You know how I patrol the Dreamscape for trouble, right?” She asked, observing as all three nodded. “Well I happened upon one of Fleur de Lis’ dreams of her marriage, and figured out the rest once I heard the name of the new Monarch.”
“‘Figured out the rest’?” Cadence quoted, lifting her hoof from under her chin. “Figured it out from what? I get the wedding part, but was she marrying a Changeling or something?”
“I didn’t see the wedding itself, but I saw the dress…” Luna’s cheeks took on a hue of pink as she looked away from the table. “And as for the rest, let us just say that I have never heard the name ‘Thorax’ screamed so loudly in my life, and leave it at that.”
Celestia’s dish crashed on the table as both her and Cadence turned bright red at the implications, and Twilight looked between the three of them with a confused expression.
“What?” Twilight asked innocently. “What’s got you three so silent?”
Celestia offered a wing to her former student in an embrace, and suddenly found the view outside of the cafe very interesting. “Let me just say that soon, you’ll know whether a mare that marries a Changeling will lay eggs, or give birth normally.”
