Current mood: Happy, but confused
Well, that was an interesting encounter.
I was just finishing up breakfast when none other than Princess Celestia stopped by on her way to court to talk. Whether she intended to or not, she really has a way of putting some fear into me, that’s for sure. When she knocked, I was expecting another conversation with the door again, similar to last night. However, she had different plans. She simply opened the door and walked right up to the bed to face me! ‘Unnerving’ is the word I would use.
That aside, she made quick use of her time, though it seems that in her rush, she let some info slip out. To her credit, she didn’t try to deny it, but instead just apologised and ran with it.
So, apparently, my meeting with Princess Luna last night was not a party of two, but three. Princess Cadance was there as well, acting as some kind of chaperone-investigator in the shadows. Princess Luna knew that as well, but according to her sister, she wasn’t allowed to talk about it. I don’t hold that against her, but now that the cat is out of the bag, I’ll ask more about it tonight, if I think it’s necessary.
Princess Celestia’s visit was pretty direct; she only was interested in two things: do I still plead innocent, and finding out more about last night. The first was easy. I know I’m not guilty of purposely taking Princess Luna’s magic, and I’m definitely not controlling her mind, though perhaps someone should ask the same of her effect on me… but that’s a different story.
So I told the Princess the truth, that I’m not doing anything, and I would never want to hurt her sister. That much she seemed to accept. When I was asked, or rather directed to tell what happened last night, though… I couldn’t do it. What Princess Luna and I shared, even in the company of Princess Cadance, was private. I have no idea what Princess Celestia might have heard so far, but I wasn’t going to cross that line until she’s talked with Princess Luna, or at least until I have.
Somehow, that was okay. Princess Celestia didn’t press me any further and even complimented me on respecting her sister’s privacy. What I did say was kind of risky, though. I framed Princess Luna’s and my meeting last night as one between two friends, which is true, but we are also now more. While there aren’t exactly labels being used yet, I know she and I are pursuing something more than a platonic relationship. I can only hope that if Princess Celestia already knows, she won’t interpret what I said as me lying to her.
