Eyeroll.

"The case of Rocco's vandalizing.. Really? This is what the court bothers themselves with these days? I suppose I'll file it under mild offenses. For now." Snort.

The court rarely concerns itself with changelings these days. Unless of course, they pose a serious threat to the crown. In which case, all bets are off.

Eyes flicker to the lone piano in the corner of the room. It's rather dusty, clearly neglected by both Princess', yearning to be played. And so, the kirin rises from her seat and glides over to where it sits, running a hoof over the cover before taking a seat.

Just watch yourself, kid, don't wish to bring a worry to your parents.

And thus, she begins to play. youtu.be/jD8dUBXqB4M

An exhale as she leans back slightly, cautious not to lean to far as to fall from her perch. “What a classic. Quaint, romantic almost.” Amusing it is. She knows about romance, yet does not delve into such.

“Working. And no, princess I haven’t.” She slides on back to the desk, avoiding putting on her own glasses as to not upset Princess Celestia. “Have you looked in your bedside drawer? On the kitchen table, perhaps? What about with the teas and coffee? That’s where I leave mine.”

“When did you realise you had lost them? That may offer some sort of spark in the memory.” She offers Princess Celestia a brief smile, one that differs from her usual emotionless expression. She feels somewhat bad, knowing how pained she would be if she had lost her glasses.

Her arms open wide, the tall kirin kicking back in her chair to gesture the princess towards the desk. “Be my guest, Your Highness. This is still your office after all, no matter who decides to use it.”

“At the moment, just a spot of filing. Have to make sure there are no urgent matters to attend to. You know, make sure none of the other kingdoms are facing any centaurs or power hungry kids.” She jests, albeit with a serious tone so one can’t quite tell if it was indeed a joke

“By the princess’ rule, Equestria will remain safe and secure. As for your office, Princess Celestia, I haven’t moved anything so if there is anything you wish to take, do so. It is yours after all.”

“If you need my services, please call upon me, Princess Celestia.” She nods, wiping golden glitter from her hoof before returning to work.

Still within the office, Val finishes up sorting through urgent matters from the.. not so urgent matters, compiling them into two distinct piles for Princess Twilight Sparkle. Each pile also has a list from “most likely to destroy Equestria” to “least likely to destroy Equestria”.

Honestly, she likes lists almost as much as the reigning monarch.

She still smells weird.

“Oh good Lord.. Forgive thine eyes for they know not what they do.”

For those who aren't aware, Val is actually named after a season 6 episode of Criminal Minds and embodies all of the characters into one singular body

This Kirin ironed her best suit just for Civil Court. All should be thankful.

Even she feels a wobbling in her spine at /that/ loom.
