Why do I keep trying to do light physical comedy bits in this webcomic when I literally can't show anyone at the table? I mean, they make me personally chuckle, but they're so dang hard to write.
Transcript:
Princess Cadance: Can I speak to you for a moment, *dear*? Alone?
Twilight Sparkle: You sure it can't wait? We're, uh, having a sibling-bonding moment here?
Shining Armor: I'd… better go see what she wants. "Happy wife, happy life" and all that. I'll be right back.
Twilight Sparkle: She's your fiancé.
Shining Armor: Doesn't make it less true.
DM: Shining Armor and Princess Cadance move into the next room. The door remains very slightly ajar.
Princess Cadance: ^Look, we need to talk.^
Shining Armor: ^I'm here to talk!^
Princess Cadance: ^*Why* is your sister here?^
Shining Armor: ^I don't know.^
Princess Cadance: ^Is there a problem?^
Shining Armor: ^She's fine, everything is fine.^
Twilight Sparkle: Are you just, uh, going to keep whispering over there, or…?
Princess Cadance: ^I need you to *listen* to me.^
Shining Armor: ^I'm *listening*! I'm listening.^
Twilight Sparkle: OH. I should… probably try to sneak in closer so I can eavesdrop, shouldn't I.
DM: Sounds like something that would be helpful.
