Raven hurried through the unfamiliar castle halls, doubling back frequently and cursing the lack of signage. "Oh! Um, hello!" She spotted a passing guard. "Um, wouldst thou be able to tell me the direction of the throne room?"
"Down the hall. Thou shalt see it near the end." The guard nodded down the hallway.
Raven looked down the hallway, then back at the guard. "Many thanks!" She raced down the hallway, a red booklet trailing her, surrounded with her light red magic. She paused in front of the most official-looking door in the area. "Breathe, Raven, breathe..."
She entered the throne room, doing her best to look professional. She closed the door behind her and began the long walk to the other end, where Celestia and Luna sat in their respective thrones, chatting away, both with brilliant vibrant manes flowing to their sides.
Celestia was the first to see her. "Ah! Thou must be the new aide." Luna turned to her as well.
"Yes! My name is Raven, and it is—an incredible honor to be here, Your Majesties." She bowed.
Celestia giggled. "There is no need for that. Did Sunbeam outline what was expected of thee?"
Raven picked herself up. "Yes! She informed me that ye have already gone through the morrow's paperwork, and thus, the next step is to check the agenda for domestic matters!" She waved the red booklet in the air, then opened it, clearing her throat. She paused.
Luna had on an apologetic smile. "I am afraid that is the agenda for international matters. The domestic matters are in the green booklet."
Raven stammered for a bit, then put on a bright smile. "Well, I certainly apologize! I shall… I shall return shortly!" She turned around and walked briskly for the door.
Celestia cocked her head. "Is thy hairbun coming undone?" Raven's hair tie was loose, sending hair spilling out to the side freely.
"Oh! Um..." Raven's red magic appeared around her hairbun, and she spun around in circles as she walked. "I, um, terribly sorry! I'll be, um, just a moment. Terribly sorry." She walked back through the doors and around the corner.
Celestia giggled. Luna spoke, arching an eyebrow. "We do have a tendency to run these aides rather ragged." She looked towards Celestia. "How long dost thou think this one shall last?"
Celestia chuckled. "We shall just have to see, shan't we?"
