Twin Shadows

Celestia looked anxious, he thought.

She spoke almost immediately: "You were in there a long time…"

"Yes," he said. "Luna and I spoke."

"She actually talked with thee, then?"

"As though I were Starswirl himself! Magic, theory, and more magic! I had no idea… The power a single pony is capable—"

"Anything about me?"

"We… Yes," he answered cautiously. "You did come up."

Desperately, "And?"

"Luna trusted me to keep her confidence." He continued over her burgeoning interruption. "Were your two situations reversed…"

She re-centered herself. "Yes. Yes, of course I'd desire… expect your silence. I simply wish to know what is wrong!"

"Have you tried asking her, yourself?"

"Of course I have!"

"Have you?"

"I just said I…"Celestia reigned herself in. Nearly pleading, she continued, "Will… Sombra, will she see me, then?"

A wry chuckle. "Everywhere." Sombra shook his head gently. "Everywhere."

Author's Note:

Written for the June 2018 prompt "Now We're Friends"

Because the prompt was mine and I stepped in to host the month's event, I went wild and wrote two stories for this event.
