Tia hummed softly, "I think I remember a certain night pony being in a mopey sort of mood for her recent actions~" she finished her sentence in a sing-song form.

Luna however wasn't taking this all too well - she blew raspberry and raised her hooves frantically in the air. "Tis Blasphemy!" She faced me before speaking, "Do not listen to my sister Eric." she turned to her sister with sharp squinted eyes, "She speaks nothing but lies!"

Everything felt so off I mean I was expecting to be taken out and thrown six feet under and yet...here I was just having a royal breakfast with the two immortal leaders that practically ran the world.

It put a smile on my face, this whole thing has been so odd and twisty turvy it actually made me think I was being so ridiculous for thinking this was going to end me. The sisters both stopped as my mirthful laughter reached their ears.

They looked at each other before joining in with giggles and huge smiles, this moment was sorta peaceful in so many odd ways that it felt right.

"So getting the obvious out the way, why did you guys- er, Princesses do this for me?"

Tia found the question odd. "What do you mean?"

Luna found it just as weird to ask. "We are quite lost on the meaning as well"

"Well um," I fumbled onto the thoughts and words with my anxiety swelling a bit, "why do you treat me so uh, normal? I mean the cat is out of the bag-"

Luna got concerned. "A cat is out of a bag? Where?"

I chuckled a bit at that, "I mean my secret is out...I'm an alien and I have no right to well be here."

Tia paused for a bit, "why not?"

Not what I was expecting. "W-what?"

"Eric, whether you intended to or not which we think not, you have been thrown from your home to here with...less than healthy habits of coping." She gave a small smile with a sad look, probably about my drinking.

"We understand the feelings, my sister more so and well, we feel like we must give some grace and peace in this meeting."

Luna stayed quiet after that mention.

"Wait this is a meeting? Is that why you've been-"

"Ah," she raised a hoof to stop my sentence, "Eric do not mistake our respect as a misguided ruse. We truly just want to show we have no negative intentions even if our staff have well, shown little less than that."

"So... this isn't a trick?"

"Of course not, Eric we simply want to understand what's clear and not, we want to help."

I- wow, that was just a lot.

"So... uh, wow um wasn't expecting that but I'm-"

"Alien? Yes well, I have created a kingdom on harmony, trust, and equal values so..." Tia cringed a bit before continuing, "I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't give you the benefit of the doubt."

"...huh I guess that makes sense, sorry I'm a bit new to the concept of well- hospitality..."

That raised an eyebrow from Tia, "New to-...hospitality?" She was saddened by the statement alone but seeing her sad like that was just- I didn't want to stick onto the subject and decided to change topics.

"Uh anyway, I was kinda wondering what happened last night?"

Luna stiffened at that mention while her sister recovered from the old topic and just gave a small smirk with her eyes looking at Luna.

"Yes," Tia put an elbow on the dining table to use her hoof to hold up her head while shifting her weight to lean forward to her sister. "What DID happen, dear sister." She smirked deviously with a teasing tone.

Luna was flustered. "W-well i-if you m-must know-"

The doors open to have the chef come with plates. "Food is ready princesses!"

Luna was relieved to see the petunia, "Ah yes petunia!"

Petunia put a platter of food in front of Tia and when she came to put down Luna's she was taken by surprise into a big hug.

"Huzzah! Food has arrived!" Luna lowered her head to Petunia's, "Did I ever tell you that you were my favorite?"

Petunia blushed at that, "O-oh, never princess.." she spoke meekly.

"Well, today I rectify that notion!" Luna kept a forced smile while feeling the burning stare from her sister, but Tia had other plans.

"Ahm, sister... I believe you were telling us what happened last night. Remember?"

Luna cringed at that, "a-hah of course! But what of our food? Can't let such pleasantries go to waste with a g-guest of this high of honor, can we?"

Petunia finally was able to get out of the grasp of Luna to place down my plate of hay fries.

"Well, that is why you'll be telling the story while he enjoys 'such pleasantries'" Celestia grinned at the teasing of her sister's use of old equestrian vocabulary.

Luna however just cursed under her breath before continuing, "I-...fine, you have won this one sister but we will crush you next."

I just munched on the fries while all this happened, it's decent fries.

Luna turned to me before continuing. "Well Eric, how much do you remember?"

"I just remember that last night I went to a bar and drank" I scrunched up my nose, "...a lot."

Luna hesitated before continuing, "do you- remember anything of vomiting?"

I was caught off guard. "Woah I threw up?" I mean wasn't the first time but-Oh god, "I didn't throw up on you did I?" I cringed at the thought.

Luna giggled at that, "No, I was sent to the bar to inspect who you are and what your intentions were and so happens you were in a bar. I woke you up with a spell that I had put within a cup of water which you had accepted, I planned to wake you up so to speak."

I was taken aback. "So you-...drugged me?"

Luna looked like she just hit a puppy, "No- well yes but it was important! We had confronted you and you spoke as if all of it was a joke. We were worried thy intentions would be soiled with evil."

Me joking? ...never mind I could see that "Ah, makes sense but uh what about afterward?"

Luna looked more happier with the afterwards part. "Ah well after that encounter ended you had proposed a bet of drinking while we waited for a chariot to come."

"So...did I win?"

"Hah! Win? Against me? I am sorry to say Eric but even with your unusual origins you were somewhat of a sour loser, clinging onto me speaking nonsense of accusations of cheating."

Fuck that does sound like me, but being a goddess horse should totally be considered cheating. "Shit that does sound vaguely familiar..."

Luna giggled at that before continuing. "And then you were sent to the castle and given a guest room, speaking of which, did you like the flowers?"

"What flowers- wait you mean the scented purple ones?" There was only one flower vase in that room but I needed to make sure I wasn't an idiot.

She hummed "Mhm they are lavender, said to calm one's spirit and revitalize the body."

I smiled softly, "Oh... that's sweet of you." I didn't give it much thought but that was really nice of her.

She was surprised that I even said anything about it. "Oh...you're welcome, we rarely are given thanks for something so small."

"That's a shame... things like that really should be more appreciated." Really was, small acts of kindness that were the sweetest.

Unbeknownst to me, Tia cringed at that.
