"Luna." Celestia's eyes flashed, and the Lunar Reagent knew she had crossed a line well before the next words could escape her sister's mouth. The argument had descended into playful bickering, but Luna, desperate for ammunition, had breached heavily guarded enemy territory. "I appreciate that my teasing can breech your skin more easily than you would like, but drawing Twilight into this was beneath you."

"Yes, sister, I--"

"Twilight is a hero. She has saved Equestria a dozen times over, including ourselves, was the crucial catalyst behind your return to us, and was the first pony to reach out to you after that."

"I appreciate that, Tia, but--"

"Furthermore, she is an example to us all. Even in her darkest moments, she never fails to realize her mistakes, and does all she can to repent them regardless of context. She is a better mare than you or I in that regard, is she not?" Celestia was pacing by now, her gaze searching around the room for some innocent chair to vent her wrathful gaze upon. Luna's sympathy went out to the Ottomane she stopped on.

"Well, I suppose so, but--"

"Even ignoring that, her contributions to the arcane arts would make half the wizards who entered my tutelage blush. She has become a notable scholar with much depth to her thinking and wisdom behind her ideas."

"I would agree with some of that, but I only--"

"There is nothing wrong with her mane. It looks beautiful." Celestia finished with a grouchy stare.

"I said it was too flat." Luna's meek protest was met with another stare warning of impending doom to all who crossed it.

"She...could do more with it?"

"You said it was "a deflated skunk that died in a purple factory". It looks fine."

"There's no need to sulk."

"..."

"You could do more with it?" Luna's peace offering was met with reluctant contemplation.

"That would be entirely her decision. Perhaps we could do something with it together. Thank you for the suggestion, Luna."

Luna felt the tension in her chest unwind. "In the meantime. Apologize."

"Very well, sister, I am sorry that I--"

Celestia levitated out a quill and paper. "Not to me."

Luna grumbled.

I rather like this side of Princess 'Momma-Bear' Celestia. It's not often that she comes out, but when she does reveal herself, everyone listens.

You know, I always thought that Celestia would be the kind of mare that would take "Momma-Bear" as a compliment.

3380352>>3380362 the chapter was meant to highlight how ridiculous her overbearingness can be

But, uh, I'm sure reading your sister the riot act for taking a snipe at your girlfriend's hairdo is badass in Celestia's voice.

3380879 Riot act? That was the riot act, the public unrest carta, the civil discontent compendium and the national whining scribbles.
I really liked the idea, though a part of me expected Twilight to stand in the room behind Celly going

3382526 I am a moron for not having thought of that

我同意，而且“熊”一点没什么不好，Momma-Bear万岁！
