This choice: obsession with modern food. • Go Back...
Chapter #5
A lot to catch up on
by: Unknown
It had been a week since Princess Luna had come back to Canterlot. Not a lot of time, all things considered, but Celestia couldn't help but worry. She hadn't seen Luna since their day in Ponyville. Well, more or less. Sure they had passed each other once or twice, but so far they hadn't even shared a meal together. After a thousand years, Celestia had been so excited to get her little sister back, and yet it felt like she hadn't returned at all! She had been determined to give her sister her space, but it was clear she'd have to do something to get them to reconnect.
Asking a few of the guards got Celestia to the library, where she had been assured Luna spent almost all of her time. It was evening, in fact Celestia had just set the sun, so she knew Luna would be up.
"Sister?" Celestia called as she entered the library. She got no response, but could hear a low muttering. So the goddess being began to trot up and down the aisles, trying to trace down the source of the muttering. She found it where she found Luna. The alicorn appeared to have attempted to entomb herself with books, her desk and all the space around her filled with books upon books.
"Luna!" Celestia called, trying to get Luna's attention. The midnight pony looked up with a start, revealing noticeable bags under her eyes.
"Oh, sister." Luna's voice was half-dead. "Dost thou need something?"
Language. Right. Celestia mentally filed away a reminder to talk to Luna about updating her vocabularly, but now wasn't the time.
"Are you alright, sister? I haven't seen you in a week. You haven't had any trouble adjusting to the modern day, have you?"
"Trouble? Trouble?" Luna's voice rose the barest hint before she controlled herself. Celestia nearly hit herself for that. It was so much harder to be tactful around Luna, and she had said perhaps the worst possible thing. She needed to make amends, quickly.
"Have you had your breakfast? Perhaps I can help with your studies?"
"I have had breakfast, thank you." Luna magically raised a mug of tea. Celestia blinked.
"Luna, that's no breakfast! Come, why don't we go to-"
