Truly, very truly Celestia could no for the life of her keep her emotions in check, a hoof raised to her mouth and her normally intimidating frame was trembling. Barely withholding a bout of laughter that might seem rude considering the circumstances. The entire ordeal leading up to this point was nothing short of hilarious. 

Having come to the Crystal Empire to see Cadence, she found herself now bearing witness to the poor princess having to manage a whole schedule that seemed ill cut from crystal and something almost out of her element. Managing the festival these ponies held that was thousands of years old and some of its views perhaps a bit more than the other had expected. So here she was hiding in the corner watching as Cadence was trying to explain to two of the crystal guard why they could not simply charge each other in combat and wrestle, seeing who came out on top. 

Finally, she breaks, announcing her presence as the poor princess falls over in a heap of laughter, startling not only the poor maid nearby who’s cup goes flying and shattering everywhere but half the crystal guards are struggling to uphold their spears and get their armor right, at first preparing for a threat then for the arrival of royalty. Celestia finds herself having to sit down and using a bare hoof wipe away a few tears.

✮*•̩̩͙✧•̩̩͙*˚✧*˚     A HAPPY CHUFF  left him at the feeling of Flurry Heart’s tiny hooves reaching up to playfully bat at his muzzle, cheerful giggles spilling from her like a waterfall.  He knew he was supposed to be the little filly’s chrystaller, but every now and then he just couldn’t help himself in getting playful with her.  He had to carefully pick his battles, though ;  every now and then their playing would turn into wild goose chases around the Castle, in which no matter what he did, he just couldn’t get away from the little one, who loved to pursue him hot on his hooves in the air, and whenever he managed to lose her, she found a way to teleport to him, latching onto a part of his body that made him wobble in his gait or lose his footing completely.  He enjoyed it nonetheless, though.

“ you know i’m always here for you, don’t you? no matter what. ” For Twilight, from cadance

{{ L }} "T-thank you Cadance but... but I don't want to burden you with a load of questions I mean I never thought I would go from learning about friendship, to making tons of friends, to defeating powerful villains, and eventually becoming a Princess.... it's all just... a lot."

There was fiery hair that flowed in the wind, the pure warmth that emitted from this pony was nothing like any other. The very air around him waved in a slight mirage as he stumbled about. The poor Alicorn looked as if he was struggling to stay awake.. or at least keep the energy he has for the day. The dark circles under his eyes looked so ingrained into his skin, it was a surprise he was even walking to begin with.

However.. the shine in his eyes, filled with a curiosity that couldn’t be quenched, said much more than his body. He was somewhere new, somewhere he’s never seen! An entire city! Of Crystal!! He was gazing at the buildings, at the flowing light that careened from surface to surface. Even upon the very crystalline castle before him, he was filled with an awe like that of a child.

“Such... wonderful craftsmanship! How have I never heard of such a lovely looking city?! The way the buildings are molded, how the light caters to everypony’s sight, it’s like a fantasy land come true!” The grey alicorn basically squees out, trying to keep his composure and not exactly make his time here any more difficult. He was a Stallion Alicorn after all, such a thing is.. not heard of.
