Short Hand: The Truth of the Hands

Shepherd: "Hey Twilight. I'm off to Canterlot!"

Twilight: "Oh? What's the occasion? Didn't you just get done with one of your meetings with the Defense Council?"

Shepherd: "Oh, no. That snoozefest is over for another month. I'm off to help the Princesses with Luna's therapy."

Twilight: "Princess Luna's therapy?"

Shepherd: nods "Yeah! Apparently I'm pretty good at massages and touch therapy is really helpful for someone who spent a thousand years in isolation."

Twilght: "... Touch therapy, you say?"

Shepherd: "Uh huh. I gave a few massages to Princess Celestia when I was at the palace, actually."

Twilight: wide eyed, bright red "You did?!"

Shepherd: "What? It was the least I could do for her! Luna's been very happy too, afterwards!"

Twilight: "Um... Shepherd, your massages ARE very nice... But do you know why?"

Shepherd: "Apparently some kind of magic reaction to the null magic field I generate? It causes a surge of endorphins and hormones that you can't really get with a massage from a pony. I know that."

Twilight: "Do you know how big of a surge it is though?"

Shepherd: "Well... I mean, you always have to sleep it off after I do it to you... So do the Princesses... Dash curses a lot during hers... And..."

Twilight: "..."

Shepherd: "..."

Soon...

Shepherd storms into the Canterlot Palace, and right into the princesses' dining room. Luna and Celestia were both there, eating breakfast/dinner respectively.

Luna: "Ser Shepherd? What is it?"

Shepherd: "... WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE TELL ME I CAN MAKE MARES ORGASM WITH A TOUCH?!"

Celestia: Bright red

Luna: Even brighter red

THAT'S why they didn't tell you. They knew you'd freak out.

(... That is a talent many human males would kill for Shepherd. I do understand being miffed that no one bothered to inform you you had it though.)

Oops busted

So... Shepherd is Orgasmo. Cool!

[FanOfMostEverything]

Someone did, Shepherd. That's why you're reacting like this. And thus you have the answer to your question.

[Spiritus Arcane]

Probably would have figured it out sooner if he had more guy friends...

Dude, couldn't you tell? My very first thought was "Couldn't you smell it?" If you can't tell this about your massage clients, you need to pay better attention to what you're doing.

And that's how it's all his fault this time.

Shepherd: "I had terrible allergies for the whole first year. I was constantly congested!"

I can't help but think of a side story to The Changeling of the Guard. Please tell me I'm not the only one.
