(As Applejack and Fluttershy bow to Cadance, Twilight feels her chest get a little tighter. She couldn't help but be reminded of when the Crystal Empire first reappeared.)

Twilight: Cadance...!

Shining Armor: It's okay, Twily -- it's just fatigue. I've been picking up her slack wherever possible. All she needs is some rest.

Twilight: If... you say so...

(Walking over, Shining Armor seats himself beside the throne and turns back to Twilight and the others.)

Shining Armor: *sigh* So... you mentioned in your letter that you were bringing Parlys with you, but you didn't say why.

Twilight: Right... I thought it best if he explained it to you himself. Parlys?
