Octavia sat down at the café and waited for her companion.
Lyra arrived late. "Is it my turn to get the drinks?" Octavia nodded. "OK, I'll be right back," the unicorn added and headed to the counter.
A few minutes later, Lyra arrived at the table levitating two cups. She set one down in front of Octavia and one in front of the empty seat, where she then sat herself. "So what have you been doing lately, Tavi?"
Octavia took a sip of her coffee and let out a sigh. "Today, I've mostly been practising bipedal motion."
Lyra's eyes flew open. "Bipedal motion?! Like walking on two legs?!"
Octavia looked at the counter. She wished that Lyra would have gotten them a couple of slices of cake or something. "Yeah," she answered, "it's for when I'm playing cello, because you know, for some reason I play it standing up instead of seated."
Lyra imagined Octavia walking around on just her hind legs, like a human, so tall, so graceful, so elegant.
"We really need to have sex together."
Octavia choked on her coffee. "Pardon?!!" She dabbed her mouth with a napkin. "What about Vinyl and Bonny?!"
"Yeah, I suppose they can too. Whatever."
