Holding her head in her hooves Chrysalis was at a loss for words. Before her sat not only her mentor but also possibly her closest friend. Normally this would fill the changeling monarch with joy as she freely fed off of the mirth and happiness from the alicorn. Unfortunately for both, Celestia was no longer an alicorn, she was now not only a Jötuun but also the largest source of stress currently plaguing the changeling.

“So… let's just do a little recap in case I missed anything.” Celestia smiles.

“Of course Chry-”

“Zip it scalie!” Celestia closes her jaw with an audible snap as the changeling scolds her making Luna laugh. The blue alicorn is quick to stop however as Chrysalis turns on her and hisses.

“Sorry…” Glaring at the offending alicorn Chrysalis buzzes her wings fiercely to try and bleed off some of her extra stress.

“As I was saying, let's all do a little recap. You transformed back into a Jötuun, something that is not only a distant ancestor of the modern dragons but also what you originally were before being forcefully polymorphed by your adoptive father. Then after telling your family and most of your staff about your change you decided to switch out Fenrir’s weekly appointed physiatrist and doctor's appointment with your own mock intervention?!” Celestia rubs the back of her neck sheepishly.

“Well when you word it like that of course it sounds bad.” Before Chrysalis has a chance to blow up a second time Luna smacks her sister with a wing. While not having anywhere near the same effect it would have if Celestia was still an alicorn it did manage to still get the point across.

“That's because it is bad Tia. You smashed her head into the wall so hard that it nearly collapsed.” Celestia grimaces and looks towards the wall in question. Besides the small divot left from Fenrir’s skull countless stress fractures spread out like a child's drawing of a spiderweb.

“It was an accident… I didn’t mean to throw her so hard. I never wanted to hurt her at all but when she bit me I just kind of… Reacted.” Chrysalis’s shoulders slump as she sighs.

“While I can’t fault you for being caught off guard by such a bite, I can be pissed off that you put yourself in the position to get bit in the first place. What were you thinking trying to hug her like that? Even if a small glimmer of her past self started to come out, you of all creatures should know better than to corner a scared and confused dragon.” Luna raises her hoof to correct Chrysalis.

“Jötuun.” Chrysalis rolls her eye’s.

“Basically the same thing but whatever.” Celestia snorts a large cloud of smoke and flicks her tail.

“I’m not getting into another argument about this, but no, we are not the same.” Hissing, Chrysalis throws her hooves into the air.

“Whatever! We’re getting off topic and I just want to get this over with. As of right now Fenrir is off limits. I do not want either of you interacting with her in any capacity until I and her psychiatrist can clear her. We have her in a medically induced coma at the moment due to hemorrhaging in the brain. Thanks to her having a healing factor on par with or even better than that of an alicorn she should be fine in a few days. Once she is discharged and gone through all follow up screenings I will consider reinstating your visiting rights.” Celestia flares her wings and snarls.

“WHAT!?” Jumping to her hooves Chrysalis snarls and hisses right back into Celestia’s face as the Jötuun smashes her snout against the changelings' own.

“You heard me! Until further notice both you and your sister are forbidden from seeing or interacting with Fenrir. Only your son is allowed to continue with visitation at the moment due to her own wishes.” Blinking repeatedly Celestia pulls back and eye’s the changeling with a heavy dose of skepticism.

“She what?” Chrysalis shakes out her legs and buzzes her wings before looking back up at Celestia.

“Fenrir wants Spike to continue to come and visit her.” The royal sisters look at one another in confusion before Luna starts to giggle. Her giggle however grows into full blown laughter as a look of absolute terror starts to take over Celesita’s face.

“Oh ancestors no! I was only joking!” Chrysalis’s eye twitches as she again loses control of the conversation.
