Celestia stepped over the threshold of the room as slowly as possible, taking extra care to make no sudden movements.  Luna followed her sister inside.  Despite Celestia’s attempts to appear non-threatening, the alien took a few cautionary steps back.  He watched the two carefully, waiting to see what they intended.   Celestia stopped in the center of the room, and Luna stationed herself directly to Celestia’s left flank.  The three stood staring at each other for a few painfully long and awkward seconds.  It surprised the princesses when it spoke first.
