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…
