After several seconds of keeping his eyes closed, Blueblood finally realized that he wasn't falling any more, and that he was still alive. He stared back into the room, where he saw Celestia teleport everypony else away with a flash of her horn and then talk to Luna. After a brief conversation, the most important part of which was how his statement hadn't been mentioned, the white alicorn walked away and closed the coffin's cover over her sister's head, leaving her there, then walked out while she called her, asking to be taken out.
Blueblood saw his chance. In the brief interval of time between the moment Celestia walked out of the room and the one when Luna would have remembered one of the twelve to thirty ways she could have gotten out of there on her own he jumped back in the room, experienced another period of self-reflection over his life and choices while waiting to land back inside, then ran up to the coffin and opened it.
Luna looked at him, surprised. "Vladímir, dear, what are you doing here? I thought I saw you jump out of a window just a minute ago."
"I did," Blueblood replied, "but when I heard your screams I came back inside to save you."
Luna's expression brightened. "You climbed all the way back in here to save me? You deserve a reward! I will make you a prince!"
"Well, actually I'm already a prince."
"Duke?"
"I think that would be a downgrade."
Luna put a hoof under her chin, concentrating. "I got it!" she exclaimed after a moment, startling Blueblood. "I will make you my personal student! If Celestia has one then I will too. You will learn all sort of things! Like how to deal with the monsters that come out at night, or how to do the opposite of what your biological clock tells you in terms of sleep, or how to spend hours fixing the dreams of other ponies, or how to properly fly with your new wings, or how to memorize the entire history of Equestria to recite it at important events, or how-"
"Well, actually I would be more interested in-Wait, what did you say?"
"'How to properly feed your bats'?"
"No, before that."
"'I thought I saw you jump out of a window just a minute ago'?"
"No, after that. Did you say something about wings?"
"Well, Celestia's student became an alicorn, I don't see why you shouldn't do the same."
Blueblood stared at her for a couple of seconds. "So when do we start?"
"Immediately!" Luna beamed. "To the dungeons," she said, grabbing Blueblood with a hoof and pulling him close to her chest.
"Wait, what?"
The two disappeared in a flash of magic.
