"So, about those-"
"No."
Stellar Flare pouted. "You didn't even hear what I had to say."
Firelight folded his newspaper, took a sip of his coffee, then finally looked at the mare. "I have. A lot of times already, actually. And I haven't changed my mind yet."
Stellar Flare rolled her eyes, and sighed. "Heard anything from Starlight lately?"
"Not recently," the unicorn replied. "I'm still not sure if she properly understands the concept of letters." He took another sip of coffee. "What about you? Heard anything from Sunburst?"
"Not either." Stellar Flare took an unauthorised seat on the empty armchair, and pondered giving an unauthorised taste test to the cookies sitting in the bowl on the little table in front of them. "I'm not sure he understands the concept of staying in contact with your family."
"Sounds like someone I knew." Firelight grabbed a book from a nearby bookshelf, one with a bookmark clearly sticking out from the pages.
Stellar Flare sighed. "Same." She went for the unauthorised cookie eating as Firelight opened the book, hoping he wouldn't notice.
Firelight did notice. He pretended not to.
