My dear Luna... [He arches an eyebrow in her direction, then he snaps his talons, his entire form changing in a moment. Suddenly, he looks just like Luna (save his eyes, which remain red and yellow), feminine and dark and mysterious, yet... at least a thousand times older than the actual Luna, and lips quirked in a smile too crazed to match her face.] let me remind you that I am older than even you and your sister. After a few eons, a single one of those pictures could be referencing dozens of stories. I can't be expected to remember which stories are young enough for you Alicorns to remember.

[He snaps his talons and he looks normal again. Or, at least, his version of normal.] My, what a good Princess you are, thinking of your subjects when most of them probably don't know which star you're even talking about. [Curiously, he does. Hey, his face was tilted upwards for over a thousand years, so he knows both the day and the night sky pretty well.]

[princess_luna]

[The princess scowled in response, insulted by the fact Discord had the gall to mimic and mock her form in such a way.] Be that as it may, mocking me is not needed.

[And she'll mot touch that subject... Though ponies appreciate her night more in these modern times.]

[nofunmakingsense]

[It's cute that you think it takes 'gall' for Discord to mock anyone.]

Oh please. I'm guessing that Celestia got the element of Laughter when you both were still playing with those things?

[He snaps his talons, and then a headband with giant floppy rabbit ears appears on Luna's head. Feel free to scold him, Luna.] Learn to laugh at yourself, my dear Luna. Even Celestia can do that.

[princess_luna]

[It it were up to Luna, he'd still be a statue. And nothing more than a rock garden.]

At the very least, she allows others to see the humorous side. [Well, there was the Grand Galloping Gala incident that Luna felt certain weakened Discord's prison. Those three fillies were likely the final straw.]

[Luna is a grump at times, especially at a time like this. Is it any wonder that the rabbit ears got yanked off and then stomped on?]

[nofunmakingsense]

Remind me why you're the one who's supposed to be 'teaching me' right now?

[The crushed rabbit ears twitch on their own, making indignant squeaking noises, and then hop away.] Aw, look, you offended them.

[princess_luna]

I told my sister this would be for naught.

[No Luna, this is your fault for being a great big grump.]
