Her expression darkens. "It is not a story We relish retelling," says the Princess quietly.

Oops. Clearly that was a mistake.

Cal holds up both hands in what a human would probably recognize as a timeout gesture. He still hasn't quite figured out what she is, but he knows that dark expressions and quiet tones are not a good combo.

"Okay. Sorry. Didn't mean to upset you. I'm--I'm just trying to figure a few things out." Like where here is. And how he got here. Because purplish-blue flying unicorn or not, this place is feeling less like a dream and more like freaky reality every minute.

"Er...I'm Cal Leandros, by the way. What's your name, Your...Majesty?"

He just knows that she's royal. There are a lot of titles for royals.

She straightens up a bit. "We are the Princess Luna, Monarch of the Moon and bringer of night to all Equestria."

Well, he wasn't expecting that.

"I'm very pleased to meet you. I didn't even know that the moon had a monarch." A pause. "What is Equestria?"

He's wondering if it's a country or a dimension, though he's not sure if the question would make any sense to the Monarch of the Moon.

"Why, the kingdom of the ponies, of course," says Luna, taken aback.

"Ah. I don't think I've ever...been there. Maybe Equestria's far from where I live? Because my home has--kind of a lot of hoofless beasts."

Also mermen, vampires, Boggles, mad scientist mummies, nepenthe spiders and the werewolf Mafia. Pretty ponies are not exactly the norm.

"We suppose it must be," muses Luna. "For, in truth, We have never before seen a creature like yourself."

...that is more true than she knows.

That also makes her the first nonhuman he's ever met who doesn't know something--and doesn't fear--his father's species. The Auphe.

Damn. And he grins.

"What kind of...beings...live in Equestria? Is it just ponies, or are there other kinds of people there?"

Obviously not human people, or even human-looking ones. But maybe every animal species in Equestria talks, and the ponies are just the ones in charge.

Besides, he's curious now.

"'People'?" echoes the Princess. "Pray tell, what dost thou mean?"

Cal pauses a moment, trying to rephrase.

"Um...intelligent beings that may or may not be pony-shaped?"
