Celestia took a moment to wonder what 'normally bipedal' meant before chalking it up to just an unusual turn of phrase. Veritas had given an answer, the species was known as humans. It didn't ring any bells, and he didn't offer much more information. Then again, it would be next to impossible to sum up the entirety of a species in a few sentences, so she supposed she couldn't blame him. She would just have to learn from this particular member of the species.
Veritas in turn asked if Celestia a Princess, Queen or Empress. It made her pause. Yesterday, she would have said she was, and gone on to explain which. She thought back to Equestria, that she had left behind, and that she was hoping to get back to. “As I said, I used to be. A little of all three, in a sense, though Princess was my official title. My nation does not appear to have followed me here however, so claiming such a title would accomplish nothing.”
Veritas gave her a little more explanation of himself and his species. Humans were generally not able to use magic, although Celestia reminded herself that in this strange place who knew what powers Omni would have given them access to. Veritas himself was interesting one in particular. Apparently he wasn't a true human, but a created being of sorts. And he claimed to be missing parts, which he said he would re-insert at some point in a process that sounded like it would be quite painful. It wouldn't be her decision to make, of course, but she couldn't help make an observation. “Are you sure such things are necessary, in this place? I'm to understand we've been given a very versatile tool with our arrival. I imagine you could recover your old abilities, with no surgery whatsoever, if one can just figure out how to use it.”
