Description

Page 529 - High Horse
It’s easy to assume the world of the game follows the same base logic as ours does, as far as people and society goes, so that everyone can handle at least basic interaction. Which creates a few odd moments where you have to remind someone that this is, in fact, a much different world.

Princess Luna: HOW ABOUT NOW??
Twilight Sparkle: Uh… Getting better? Maybe? I guess?
Princess Luna: THIS IS MOST FRUSTRATING. WE CAN SPEAK CASUALLY WITH, FOR INSTANCE, OUR SISTER. BUT WHEN SPEAKING TO THE COMMON PONIES, WE CANNOT HELP BUT EMPLOY THE VOICE.
Fluttershy: <sigh> Don’t think of them as citizens or subjects or “the people.” Think of them as potential new friends.
Princess Luna: …What a bizarre notion. And yet…
