Cheerilee watches in complete disbelief as Celestia motions for the next pony to approach. It's an older stallion, though his outfit and demeanor make it clear that he is another of Canterlot's elite. He bows before the princess and kisses the back of her hoof. Afterwards, they exchange more words Cheerilee cannot hear before he looks up at Anon, who gives him a completely informal nod of acknowledgement and says absolutely nothing. Celestia gives him a strange, almost knowing side-eye as the stallion walks away before allowing the next pony to approach.
