"Ah, Philomena, my pet. You're awake. Do say hello to our gracious hosts."
Fluttershy looked at the horrific shape Celestia's bird was in. "Oh... my."
Celestia grinned. "She is quite the sight, isn't she?"
"I... I... I've never seen anything like it." Fluttershy couldn't stop staring.
As Celestia leaned away to whisper with one of her guards, Twilight took the opportunity to remedy the situation. "It's a phoenix, Fluttershy. It's supposed to look like that sometimes."
"Oh." Fluttershy blinked. "Thank goodness." She stared off into space for a moment. "How did I not know that? I thought I knew about all kinds of creatures."
But...Philomena the troll!
This one's just mean...
Because apparently phoenixes are rare, and Fluttershy seems to know more about the adorable, tiny, and safe rare animals.
It is because Fluttershy is so bad with animals. She cannot even kill them properly.
KBO.
And there you have it, no worrying about being banished into a cage in the place where she would be banished to...or however it goes.
Exactly my thought. Twilight, being Celestia's personal protégé for most of her life must have at some point seen Celestia's pet phoenix at least once or twice. So naturally she would have been able to just tell Fluttershy that there's no need to worry.
Uhh... because phoenixes are rare maybe and Fluttershy's never seen one.
