It's your birthday, just us and your birthday! [Private action to Morgan]

It was a lovely Tuesday eve as the couple exited the building nuzzled up against each other, neither really caring what other ponies thought as they laughed in tandem at some joke shared. It felt nice to laugh like this, especially considering the day before...but it wouldn't do any good to stay in and worry herself to sickness again. She did wish it had come at another time, but...hopefully Mae would be back soon. Until she returned, all Nephenee could do was go forward, and that included going ahead with plans made more than a bit ago. Besides, her coltfriend had a birthday to celebrate, so she'd do her best to help him with that, even if this was the night before. The party would be tomorrow, but she'd stolen him away tonight for some time alone, away from prying eyes...

Well, maybe not that last one, since they got looked at anyway. Whispers about how cute it was or something floated about, but her mind was very much focused on her Knight. She'd surprised him with not only the fact that she'd pretty much tackled him to the ground in a hug when she'd met him outside the dojo, but the little black dress, tail wrap, and overall simple, but radiant look had gotten a great reaction too! Neph knew Morgan liked black and he liked leg and he liked how she wore her dresses, so she just combined them, then whisked him off for dinner and dancing and anything he really wanted to do -within reason.

Her heart still pounded from the physical exertion of the dancing, or perhaps just being this close to him kept it at such a rate, but she was rather happy right now, even if it was tinged with a little melancholy, and she couldn't help but be a little happier knowing he'd love his other gifts. Because apparently, a bag-of-holding and a custom lance weren't enough for her to give!

She liked spoiling friends, alright? Plus the main one was from the family, so.

Sneaking a kiss to his cheek, the Sentinel sighed happily. This night was quite wonderful.

"So, enjoyin' your birthday yet, my Knight?"

Morgan leaned against her, parking his flank in turn. By now he had mostly recovered; experience made for faster rebounds, after all.

"Well... like I always say, think about what just happened and learn from it," he said -- still a little breathless.

She'd be doing better, but crowd! Leaning her head against his, she panted for a few moments more. "Lesson...Ah'm havin' to relearn...things still, but still gettin' better. An' that folks like seein'...us kiss." Cheeks that had been fading in coloring flushed again. "An'...if that kiss was tellin', we like each...other a whole bunch."

Not that she NEEDED to learn that, but even if she wasn't quite onto the scale of it, at least Nephenee was getting a little better at self-awareness in that respect.

"That was some kiss, too..." A beat, and turning to look at him, the soldier smiled, still a little sheepish. "Lesson two: Ah can...hold that position longer...than you."

"You've never seen me hold it as long as I could!" And that was out of courtesy to her, because he could have totally overwhelmed her. Next time, especially if they were in private, he might just very well prolong it.

"Who cares about the crowd? They seemed to approve!" Heck, they might even have set a good example. No one could deny the two of them were at all reserved in showing their affection, and that made for a healthy relationship.

And he'd successfully turn her into a blue pony puddle of goo if he did it. Not that that was necessarily a bad thing...

"Uh-huh..." The Sentinel did believe him, but she was feeling nice and playful, "Heh, they did. Ah...guess a buncha folks were waitin' for me to do somethin' like that..." Or to gain the courage to do so. "Sure we'll hear 'bout it."

Truth be told, she'd been waiting to do it too. It was hard and a little scary, but she'd promised she'd work hard to get better, to get back to where they had been. It was paying off, at least! "So...how was year 23 for ya? We..ain't gonna be the same age...for much longer."

At least she was still feeling playful once the nervousness wore off, even if she needed a little break for a moment.

"Well, I turned into a pony. That was pretty weird. And I met an amazing girl, which was awesome. So I can definitely say I'm doing pretty good, Neph."

"A girl that likes her fella a whole bunch an'...wants him to be the happiest one in the whole...of Equestria. She'd beat off dragons an'...deities an' more to get to him." That was accompanied by a nuzzle and forehead kiss, and a small chuckle. "Ah'm glad Ah'm a highlight in your year...Though don't forget ya got your Dojo an' your business, too."

It still felt like her heart was racing, even as nervousness faded and her breathing steadied; Morgan might have been able to feel it being snuggled up to his girl, possibly even see her torso shudder slightly from the beats.

"Sure, but those are pretty much secondary, right? I mean, I could always build a dojo or start massage if I wanted to. I couldn't always find a girl like my Neph." He smiled against her cheek, stroking one hoof down her mane. He could feel the power her heart was beating with, and it only proved to him that her heart was just as strong as every other part of her.

Even if they cuddled a lot, she found herself melting a little from this. His words, the hair play, nuzzling so close...it all added up to a very pleased Sentinel, especially as she messed with Morgan's mane a little, herself. So soft~

"Ah guess so...an' ya do like your Neph... Not of'en ya get a lancer girlfriend who's helped take out deities an' dragons, or has a weapon form in her." She could do without that last bit, but it netted her Cirno and Kotaro as siblings, so Neph supposed she'd get over it eventually.

Hooking the fetlock of her free forelimb with his in an attempt to mimic holding his hand, she let out a quiet sigh. What a lovely night this was...and there was still more to come.

"Not very often at all," he agreed with mock solemnity. "Oh, and don't forget the fact that she can sweep me off my feet in the most deliciously literal way. I'm pretty fond of that part too."

"Can an' will an' does." That got a knowing grin out of her; seemed she was getting a second wind, which was good. "Ya don't seem to mind Ah seem to be the stronger of us. Now if ya'd jus' let me bounce around with ya on my back..." The mischievous comment trailed off as the soldier nudged him with her shoulder none-too-gently; birthday boy could take it.

Morgan slapped a hoof over his mouth before he could voice the lewd suggestion that had immediately sprung to mind, which meant that he staggered sideways when she nudged him just from the lack of balance. "Hey, this is what I get for holding back filthy comments," he said with a grin as he straightened up to bump her right back. "I'm afraid to roughhouse with you, that dress just looks so good on you I don't want to mess it up..."

A more worldly girl would take that sentence and turn it on its head...but this was Nephenee, so she looked at him in confusion instead, before raising a brow and bopping him lightly on the noggin after the bump. "No dirty comments, you."

A moment later, she continued, looking more confused, "Ah don't get it, though. Ah was talkin' bout when ya were takin' me to my surprise party an' Ah told ya Ah could jump around an' fight with folks on my back, an' Ah offered to test it with ya on my back. But ya were like 'Ah don't think my heart could handle it, Neph' or somethin' like that. So Ah didn't."

As usual, she dropped her voice, trying to imitate him. As usual, the accent never left entirely. "Still think it'd be fun. But Ah ain't riskin' ya tearin' in two from thinkin' it's so 'cool'. Ah like my boyfriend in one piece!"

How can she tell him not to make dirty comments and then keep talking about this?!

"Not just cool, but also wickedly attractive. You know how much I like how strong and athletic you are." He ran a hoof down her back, just to appreciate the muscles there. The feeling made him tingle pleasantly, not an unfamiliar sensation this night. "You're both beautiful and sexy as hell in the best ways."

Because it didn't quite occur to her, is how.

Morgan wasn't the only one getting a tingle; the hoof sliding down the muscles sent an electric pulse up her spine, and she turned her face away, flushing crimson even as she gained a very sheepish smile. Dang, that felt nice! "Ah'm glad you're a fella that likes that sorta thing. Ah mighta been up the creek without a paddle if ya didn't." Because in her mind, she wasn't exactly curvy or, ah, 'blessed' in certain areas, nor very feminine. But she was athletic and strong and leggy, which he liked, so that was for the best.

"At least maybe my personality woulda still helped me?"

"Absolutely, though if I had caught you when you were shyer, it might have been harder for me to see it." The way she always talked, she tried to make herself downright invisible when she wasn't on the battlefield.

His thoughts were close enough to reality he might as well have been on the money with them. "Heh, ya woulda had a hard time gettin' me to talk, probably."

The red didn't abate in the least as she admitted, "If...Ah'd seen ya then as a human, Ah..probably woulda been hidin' too, watchin' from a distance, at times. Ah don't know if Ah coulda talked to such a beautiful guy without stammerin' up a storm." Not admitting that she'd done that more or less with her General at one point, however. If she ever admitted that, it'd be coupled with the fact he'd blown past Ike in her mind a long time ago, even sans a crush that she'd killed before even coming here. But no need for that right now. "Or tryin' to hide the accent."

"Then I'm really glad things worked out the way they did." He couldn't imagine her without the accent and didn't want to, it was a part of her and sweet and warm. Apple pie, as he'd been known to think before. Things really had fallen out in a way that helped them get together. "Really, really glad."

If he ever told her her voice was like apple pie, a la mode or not, she'd think it was cute, sweet, silly, and a little embarrassing, all at once. And then she'd spend a good few moments trying to equate his voice to something that'd more than likely end up being a bit silly, but undoubtedly her.

Reading his thoughts a little, or at least between the lines, on the rest, however, she nodded. "A dungeon, two wars, a goddess, turnin' into ponies, an' facin' nightmares an' my Shadow...an' yet...as messed up as some of it got? Ah'd...Ah'd still do it all over again, to be with my Morgan...my Knight. An' as much as Ah dislike Rakuen...Ah'd...do that again too." But that shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

"You're with me as long as you want to be." He couldn't keep his hooves off her, it seemed; whenever they were close, and now was no exception, he had to put a leg around her, or just touch her, or bump his side against hers. "And I intend to make you want to be as long as I possibly can."

There was that thought again...the one where she wanted to be with him for...well, ever. And she wanted to say it...but what did it mean? It'd been in her head for a long time now, and it was different somehow from the first time she'd had it when they were early into the relationship. She wanted to make sure of what it meant before she said it in such irrefutable terms, though. So Morgan got a reply of, "Can't see how it'd change." A little less...intense, that.

As much as she wanted to just stay here, she knew they did eventually need to head back so he could get his other presents. But cuddles made it a mite difficult to detach, to say the least. "Even if it's warm out, an' we're both warm, it feels nice bein' this close." Snuggling up a little more at that.

"Body heat is always a comfortable warm heat that doesn't feel bad." Maybe not ALWAYS, but most often anyway. Morgan certainly hadn't ever hesitated to cozy up to her, rain or shine or snow.

"Even with fur," he added after a moment."

Don't mention cuddling in the rain, Morgan, she might want to try it next time it's pouring. "Ah like fur..it's nice an' soft, 'specially yours." He was plenty manly with that velvety fur in her mind, so he didn't have to worry about that. "It'd be awful if it wasn't so soft an' body heat wasn't comfy...heh, now Ah'm kinda lookin' forward to winter, an' not jus' 'cause it's when we started datin'."

Cupping -as much as one could do with a hoof- his chin, Nephenee bumped her nose against his, smiling brightly. "Ah've got a year of cuddlin' to catch up on, an' by winter we'll have the new house, an' there'll be a nice fireplace we can snuggle in front of; Ah'd say that oughta make up for a few months by itself." Just them and the warm fire...Add in soft music and sparkling grape juice and that sounded like one heck of a cuddlespot.

Neph, are you trying to kill him through hormone overdose with ideas like that? "You think anyone will actually see us all winter, then? Because I don't see any reason at all to move from you and that fireplace you're describing... you know, ever."

It's one of her superpowers: he rewrites reality, she makes hormones rage accidentally and makes equally accidental innuendos. His girlfriend was just thinking of snuggles, after all. Extremely romantic snuggles, but snuggles nonetheless.

She giggled at the remark. "Didn't ya say at the dance there were too many nice things for us to do to stay in one moment forever?" Nephenee asked, voice unconsciously dropping slightly, before she pressed her lips to his for a few lovely seconds. "'Sides, we'd hafta eat an' stuff still. An'...as much as Ah want to stay in this moment with ya, Ah do eventually hafta get ya home for your other presents..."

"Hey, time would pass. We would move, slightly." He smiled into the kiss, his eyes closed even after she pulled back. Just to appreciate the sensation...

"But I do want to see if ponies can snowboard," he said, when he finally opened his eyes, "so I guess we have to go outside during the winter at SOME point."
