Whose Hat is it Anyways?

“What!?  That is ludicrous!  Darling, I would not believe a single word he says.”

“I know, I know.  He just seemed so sincere.”

“Come on, Darling, think about it.  He is a total stranger.  You say you met him at the park?  Are you sure he merely requires help? Are you positive he does not want something else? You are a princess now, so I would suggest you be cautious.”

“Right.”

“Besides, what kind of name is Hatless?  That is so distasteful.  Who would name their child that?”

“Actually, I got the impression he gave that name to himself.  I will ask about his name next time we speak.”

“Do you actually plan on talking with him again?  He could be dangerous.  Who knows if he is king of the Changelings? Or worse, King Sombre!”

“Give it a rest.  I have studied the Changelings since the incident in Canterlot.  There is only the queen.  Besides that, King Sombre is gone.  Princess Cadence took care of that.”

“Oh please.  You didn't know about King Sombre until after the Crystal Empire appeared.  There could be a detail you missed.”

“Urgh, nevermind.  I will do some research between now and our next meeting.  If I find anything, I will let you know.  Oh, and please do not speak a word of this to anypony else.  Until I know for sure what's going on, I don't want to cause any trouble.”

“If you insist, Darling.”

“Thank you.  I knew I could count on you.”
