Through the shivers and crying, Celestia clung to Starswirl's leg and spoke in muffled cries; Luna imitating her as best she could as the littlest alicorn hugged Starswirl's shoulder.

"W-e're t'owwy M-m-mister Starswirl! I-'ll cleanup everyting amb stuy hawder and never eawt and-"

"-Andaba baub bubububu bowwy bowwy bowy!"

Starswirl looked down at the quivering filly and foal, and sighed. He recalled his words and beliefs from earlier in every definition of the term. He'd been focusing too much on certain aspects. Their uniqueness. Their uncanny resemblance to a symbol. And, perhaps most importantly, their magical ability. These months past he hadn't been seeing two ponies, just two beings the world had never seen before. Beings he secretly feared could be consumed by their own growing power had they not had instruction. They'd been another case study for him, however a frantic one.

Looking down, he didn't see two unknowns, two variables; or two equations to be solved. Just a pair of scared little ponies. His expression morphed. The mix of shock, stern anger; and fright shifted to mellow blankness. And then a tiny smile. He lifted a hoof and patted Celestia's head before giving Luna a soft nuzzle. He kept quiet until they stopped crying.
Starswirl chuckled, sitting up and holding Celestia against him as little Luna perched on his shoulder.

"The damage can be repaired and apologies can be made, I'll teach you how. But, seems like you two just have too much energy to be cooped up inside all this time. How about we do some clean up and then have a walk in the back gardens?"

The two sisters' moods lifted at his words, Celestia whispering as she looked up at the old mage.

"C-Can we go by the pond and fweed the birdies?"

"Of course."

Starswirl said with a chuckle, earning an affectionate nuzzle against his cheek by a very happy Luna as Celestia hugged his midsection. He usually hated his theories being wrong. But, as he held the two close; Starswirl could relent that this time was the exception.

-Kids will be kids...-
