Claire: Meetings?
Illusion: None today. Shop?
Claire: Somepony else is taking care of it. Door?
Illusion: Locked. Daughter?
Claire: Being watched by T and Nidra.
Claire: Well, it looks like everything's in order for a romantic day for two
Illusion: So…………. what do we do?
Claire: …………….. I dunno. It's been forever since we've had alone time like this.
Illusion: For real
Claire: We could go out somewhere
Illusion: I guess. But, I'd kinda just like to relax and stay here in bed
Claire: Aw, what's the matter? Work got you stressed?
Illusion: Hey, it's not easy ruling Equestria
Claire: I suppose not. So do you just wanna sleep all day?
Illusion: Well…. are you in the mood?
Claire: The mood? For what?
Illusion: Y'know…….. "the mood"
Claire: Oh. Well, I mean…. if you are
Illusion: chuckles Why're we so awkward?
Claire: Who knows kisses Illusion
Illusion: chest fluff puffs up
Claire: You're adorable
Illusion: I know. kisses Claire back So, are there gonna be any injuries this time?
Claire: chuckles Shut up. That was literally a hundred years ago
Illusion: stops kissing Claire to think ……………….. Wow……… we're old.
Claire: But hey, we look good
Illusion: Yes we do continues kissing
Claire: giggles
Illusion: Wait…….. did you hear that?
Claire: No, you're just crazy grabs Illusion's face
Illusion: I swear, I heard a scratching noise
Claire: It's probably nothing. Just guards patrolling outside
Illusion: shrugs
???: Mommy. Daddy.
Illusion: Okay, you have to have heard that
Claire: I don't
???: Mommy. Daddy.
Claire: Who is that?
Illusion: I think…… somepony's at the door…. gets up and heads to the door
???: Hello?
Illusion: opens the door slightly and sees a guard Oh, hello soldier. Do you need something?
???: begins to glow and seemingly shrink
Illusion: I-Identity? What are you doing here, sweetie?
Idie: ………. looks in at Claire
Claire: Who is it Illusion?
Illusion: It's Idie
Claire: Idie? gets up and goes by Illusion Hi baby. Are you okay? What's the matter?
Idie: ……. I have a cut
Claire: !!!
Illusion: shakes head in disbelief W-what was that?
Idie: I have a cut. Can I have a bandage?
Claire: O-of course! Come leads Idie in and takes her to the bathroom
Idie: follows Claire
Claire: Here you go starts wrapping bandage
Illusion: What happened Idie?
Idie: ……
Claire: …… where's Uncle T and Auntie Nidra?
Idie: They're distracting each other
Claire: Oooh…. Oh.
Illusion: Well……… did they know you got a cut? You could have asked them for help
Idie: I went outside and fell down
Claire: Were you disguised as a guard the whole time?
Idie: nods
Claire: ……..
Illusion: ………..
Idie: May I please have water?
Claire: Of course. Do you know where it is?
Idie: nods and goes to get water
Illusion: ………
Claire: …………..
Illusion: She talked
Claire: You heard it too right?
Illusion: Yeah…..
Claire: She knows how to speak so well! Why hasn't she started talking until now?
Illusion: Maybe she's had nothing to say
Claire: Are we doing something wrong? We should ask her why she hasn't been talking
Illusion: I'm sure she would've told us if something was wrong
Claire: I mean, yeah…. but if we can understand her better, then maybe she'll talk more and…. be normal
Illusion: Crys…..
Claire: I know…… not talking is her thing but….. I'm worried about her. She has no friends. There are many ponies willing to try and be her friend but she just shuts them out….. or they think she's shutting them out since she won't speak to them….
Illusion: ……… Well, she's a very smart filly. I'm sure she has her reasons and she'll eventually find that making friends is important
Claire: sighs and nods Can we just ask her why she doesn't talk?
Illusion: I don't see why not. But we shouldn't pressure her to speak if she doesn't want to
Claire: nods
Idie: goes back to Illusion and Claire
Claire: Hi sweetheart. You got your water?
Idie: nods
Illusion: smiles
Claire: Idie, can I ask you something?
Idie: nods
Claire: Why don't you speak to us more? Is something wrong?
Idie: shakes head
Claire: Do you have a reason?
Idie: …… shrugs and shakes head
Claire: looks to Illusion
Illusion: shrugs
Claire: looks back to Idie O-okay….. well…… you know you can tell us anything right?
Idie: nods with a smile
Nidra: Idiiiiiie? Where are you? Please come out!
Illusion: chuckles Seems like somepony's looking for you.
Idie: gets up and heads into the hallway
Nidra: T, look! There she is!
T: Idie! Where have you been? You really shouldn't run off like that
Nidra: Thank Celestia we found you. Your parents would've killed us if they found out we lost track of you
Claire: Hello Nidra. Hi Turquoise
T: Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey Claire. H-hey Illusion
Nidra: How's your romantic day alone together?
Illusion: Great. How's yours?
Nidra: W-what's that supposed to mean?
Claire: pulls Idie by her leg A little birdie told us that you two were…… distracting each other
T: coughs
Nidra: blushes and kicks at the floor
Claire: chuckles
Illusion: Hey, Idie, keep an eye on these two for us okay?
Idie: giggles and nods
