I was sitting with Rainbow Dash across from me late at night in my home. She was, for a lack of better words, rambling. I kept my attention on her- my eyes at least- for a while, and I was enduring her talking about something to do with clouds, college and other unimportant crap.
Then I realized there was a TV right over there behind her. I didn't think of how much it might hurt a mare's feelings if I were to just turn on a TV mid-conversation, so I did.
Needless to say, I didn't hear any rambling. For only a couple seconds.
"Uhm...honey?" Rainbow looked at me with a hoof on the table between us.
"Yep?"
She looked form the TV to me. Some sports game was on. "Are...are you ignoring me?" She asked with almost trembling eyes.
"No, I'm just watching TV."
"I was try-"
I turned the volume up.
"Dude," She looked at me in disbelief. "I'm trying to talk to you."
"I couldn't hear the TV so I turned it up. You can keep talking, I was listening."
Rainbow slouched in her seat. "What was I talking about?" She interrogated.
"Ugh..." I took in a deep sigh. "Some shit about...clouds and co- look, I don't know. Can I just lay back and relax for once?"
She scrunched her nose and stared at me for a long time. I didn't care, as long as she wasn't talking. She stayed silent.
"Thanks," I said with a smile and kicked up back legs, leaning back and relaxing.
"I got accepted into college..." She mumbled.
"What was that?" I yawned.
"Nothing."
