this time they had gone for Japanese food, as Twilight bet that Chrysalis,(—— had never tried it before,

Chrysalis(—— stared at the Octopus, and the octopus stared back at her with demonic eyes that looked like they would do better on a goat.

"I am sorry if it is making you uncomfortable, I can swap it out for any of the other foods, I just thought that..."
New paragraph
"You'd get the closest thing you could to barbarism because you think that my culture is little more then that of a mindless monster? Do not worry Twilight Sparkle, I more then understand. Now how do I go about consuming this unfortunate creature?"
New paragraph
Twilight almost choked on her tea at the Queen's harsh

"You use the knife to cut the tentacles off, dunk them in soy sauce and then eat them. Everything is edible, although I wouldn't advise eating the brain."
New paragraph
"No, of course not. You ponies might be monsters, but as long as you let some part of the creature go to waste, it's not a problem, right?"

It was meant to look as if the dragon was breathing out the fluid, and as Chrysalis,(—— slurped down one of the tentacles,

but Chrysalis(—— seemed to know all the right buttons to press.

Chrysalis(—— let out a soft sigh,

Even through this, Chrysalis(—— kept her voice calm, her tone level,

Personally Twilight had always disliked octopus, but she thought it was the sort of thing that Chrysalis(—— might enjoy, and that might have been incorrect of her.

Mournful to all Chrysalis(—— had lost.

New paragraph
Chrysalis(—— nodded, "But they're not changelings, only the changeling queen can produce the large number of eggs needed to keep the hive going, and I don't see them having a Queen, do you?"

Twilight blinked once, a perplexed expression spreading across her face.

"If that was really what was best for my people, then I would already have done it. I have lived for hundreds of years and my culture is very well known to me. The truth is, that when a changeling Queen becomes a "Changeling" They lose a lot of fertility."

Once they were done with their meal, Chrysalis(—— slowly pushed her empty plate away from her.

A soft burp followed shortly after, before Chrysalis(—— let out a soft sigh,

Chrysalis(—— said, sliding a cup towards Twilight that didn't make it very far as the table was not very well polished.

"What is this?" Twilight asked, frowning down into the cup as she scanned over it with her magic to test for any dangerous substances or chemicals. It did not seem there were any.
New paragraph
"It's criticism." Chrysalis(—— said with a smile on her face.

I give up.
