Celestia stared at Rainbow Dash, her expression a mix of horror, confusion, and bafflement.

And Rainbow Dash stared back, cursing Twilight's name. 

"Wait... To you?"

"Yes. To me. Like I said."

There was a moment of painful silence, as Celestia seemed to process the information with all the grace of a drowning fish. 

"Uh, Yes. I suppose I can do that."

And, as Rainbow Dash watched Celestia take a desperate sip of her tea, using the cup of liquid as an alcoholic would use a bottle, she nodded. Yes indeed. Definitely. 

Affirmative.

Confirmatory. 

"Yeaaaaaah... Thanks."

Agreement.

"So, has your... relationship been... agreeable?"

Dash only nodded marginally, a very false, almost painful smile on her face. She was gonna kill Twilight when she got home. Did she not tell anyone that they were together? 'Cause, she at least expected the mare that would be marrying them to know that they were even together. 

"Yes."

There was another awkward silence at that, as the nearby guards shuffled their hooves, as Celestia seemed to continually tried and find a way to salvage her reaction. But, the damage was done. 

"Hmm... How long have you been together?"

"Two years."

Celestia just took another desperate sip of tea, before eying the teapot. 

"Oh."
