//------------------------------// // 39: Under the Tree // Story: My Little Fortress: Dawnpick // by Paaaad //------------------------------// Out by an old familiar tree by the river, a certain gray Pegasus and a certain large amethyst Alicorn where stopping to chat after a short walk. Stiletto lays down under the tree to relax and turns to Kat to speak. "Well I'm glad I got the purifier working" "And I finally gets to join the guards!" Stiletto nodded and smiled "I am sure you will be a great guard." She then huffed and looked at the ground "No fish in the river, we need to build a dock in the underground lake if we want more fish." "Looks like Jaxler scored some good kills lately" Stilettos’ voice seems a little far off "Yeah I know, he is doing well." She then looks in Kats’ eyes "Kat, do you remember when we danced at Lady Virtues' wedding?" "mmhmm. how can i forget?" Stiletto"You are a very good dancer you know. Your movements were so graceful. Maybe, you would like to dance again one day?" "mm.. thanks.. and, yeah. I'd like that." Stiletto smiles "Then I hope we get something to dance about soon." "Oh we'll see. Hopefully there will be! Dancing means good things happening. and good thnigs happenings are always.. well.. Good!" "Many good things have happened, the well is clean, the church is finished, we have a keep, and there is more love in this fort then... well ever." "Not to mention a lot of Foals from all the extra lovings.. by the way i kept forgetting to ask. What's with the 'Pegasus' war?" Stiletto looks down on the ground with a look of shame on her face "Many years ago, when my people were war like and needed more land to grow, we had never seen a pony without a horn before, not one." She has to take a breath before continuing "They we met the... at the time we called them die Greuel, they had no horns but they had wings, it was madness and folly that followed." "Ah.. Confusions." Stiletto needed to get this out, her voice was heavy with guilt "We thought , oh sisters forgive us, we thought that somepony had taken their horns and was using that power to, to control their bodies, their dead bodies. The horn, the place our magic comes from, it is the symbol of the mind you see. We did not think a pony could be born without a mind." "The Confusions and Mistakes of our Ancestors, oh well. It's an old past already. Things been done and fixed. right?" Stiletto raises her forehooves to her chest "Yes, one day, after our army had finished sacking a city, they found a foal, the first to be called unvergessen. That is what we call your kind now, unvergessen." Stiletto is trying very hard to hold back tears "Do, do you really forgive my so easily?" "As much as i'd like to, Stiletto. i simply can't forgive you. because to me, there's nothing to Forgive." She smilles. Stiletto opens her forehooves and softly hugs Kat "Kat, oh Kat." Kat smiles and returns the hug, content of talking to a friend lately. Stiletto nuzzles Kats' mane, and she cries, and whispers "meine schöne Liebe" Kat simply smiles warmly as she holds onto Stiletto as she cries over her. not really knowing why she's crying, but at least it's not a bad crying. Stiletto whispers "Kat, I want to kiss you, is that ok?" Kat blinks wide-eyedly in surprise. "w.. what?.. you.. em.. um.. what?" she stuttered. Completely caught off-guard by such a request. Stiletto speaks softly "I want to kiss you, you are beautiful." "b.. but.. em.." Kat’s eyes go wide. Stiletto continues to whispers "tell me no, if you do not want to kiss me tell me no, or I will kiss you." Stiletto touches Kats' neck with her lips Kat gulps and gasps when she feels the Alicorn's lips at her neck, she almost looked pale, her blush were so bright that it could probably be classified as a red dwarf "b.. but.. i've never.." Stiletto slowly kisses her neck, once, twice, moving up her neck with each kiss Kat is already visibly shaken, sweating and blushing so hard yet frozen in place, poor thing looks like she'd faint any minute now Stiletto speaking softly "I love you, I love you." she kisses Kats' cheek and looks into her eyes Kat gulps and blinks. "!.. em... love you too.. b.. but.. um.. don't think i'm.. ready for a kiss just yet.." she said, trying not to sound rude or pushing away, she wouldn't want to make Stiletto sad after all. But she's also not up for a kiss yet. Glyph walks past, seeing the two. "Stiletto? Kat? What's going on?" Stiletto nods and nuzzles "Ok, I under stand." Then Stiletto opens her eyes a little startled by the sudden arrival "Glyph?" Kat blushes even harder, to have Glyph seeing her being nearly kissed by Stiletto in this position. "uh... hi Glyph! *Grinsquee*" Glyph walks over to the two. "Hello mein... umm...erfahrensten Liebe... Hello Kat. What are you doing? You okay Kat? you look... tense." He looks between the two, trying to figure out what was going on. "I'm sorry, I just, I love Kat, I can not lie, she has such amazing beauty, and she lifts my heart." "I... but you... umm..." Glyph closes his eyes, trying to sort out his words. "I was going to be... I... I love her. She's nice, and cute... she makes me feel better..." He blushes and shuffles his hooves a bit. Kat wished that she could just dig a hole and hide in it until everything's over. Blushing ever so furiously from getting loved at so much. She didn't hate it.. in fact she likes it. to be loved is a good thing.. but she's pretty much getting drowned by it at the moment Stiletto sighs and lets Kat out of her forehooves, and then opens her wings inviteingly Now this is something Kat doesn't mind, and since seeing Glyph being here already, more cuddles! she moved under Stiletto's wing and sat down, trying to calm down her heart BPM. all the while hinting Glyph to join in. Glyph smiles big and walks over, sitting next to Kat and snuggling under her wing. Stiletto cuddles them both under her wing and smiles "There, much more comfortable.” Kat "y..yeah.. much." she leans onto Stiletto, nuzzling the side of her head onto her coat.. then leans over to Glyph to give him a nuzzle of his own as well. Granted she's still blushing, but far, FAR more relaxed than their first cuddle for sure. "I like it here... nice and warm... and soft." Glyph cuddles closer under Kat's wing, nuzzling her. Stiletto reaches over and kisses Glyph on the forehead, then nuzzles Kats' mane "So Kat, do want to talk about anything?" Kat sighed contently, wrapping a wing over Glyph's Back as they all cuddle under Stiletto's wing. exchanging nuzzles happily "Hmm.. yeah, talking's nice. Talking with nice pony's even better... and.. talking with.. loving ponies.. is best." Stiletto smiles "You have us both now... umm Stiletto? What would be the word here?" "For her to call you or me? or do you mean us together?" "Umm... all of those? I kinda meant me though..." "Oh yes, she would call you meine tapferste Liebe, and me meine königliche Liebe. I will call her meine schöne Liebe. and we are liebe verbunden." "So many words i don't understand.." Glyph smiles, “Oh cool... bravest love... but you forgot one. What would I call her?" "Wenig Liebe, Glyph. All of them are words of love, oaths of love would be closer Kat." "Right... I had forgotten... If... if you're okay with that Kat..." "Mm.. well.. i have no problem with it really." she said and beams them a smile, giving Glyph a nuzzle at the side of his muzzle Stiletto cuddles them both under her wing "Good. Remember my wings if you ever need a place to sleep, or... other things" "Good... mein wenig Liebe..." Glyph nuzzles Kat, smiling at his new love. "Can... can I k... Kiss you?" Kat blinks, wide-eyedly, much like what her reaction was to Stiletto's request.. the intense blush returns to her shortly after. "um.. w..well.. em.. i've.. never really.. kissed anypony before.." she said nervously "Oh... it's alright if you don't want to yet... I won't make you. But if you are okay with it..." He nuzzles her again. Kat looks down slightly, still blushing. the thought of two ponies wanting to kiss her in the matter of a single day!* "mm.. y.. yeah.. not yet.." She says, then leans herself into Glyph's nuzzle some more, sighing contently. Stiletto nuzzles Kat and then Glyph "Okay... then I'll wait... just... let me know when you're ready." Glyph sighs in contentment, cudding in, and nuzzling Stiletto when she moves her head close. Kat rests relaxingly on Stiletto and Glyph, exchanging nuzzles and occasional nibbling on coats. pleased and rather happy with her position here Stiletto Yawns and cuddles up close "I love you both." she kisses Glyph and nuzzles Kats' mane "Sleeping here with you both seems like a very good Idea right now." Kat yawns aswell, curling herself up slightly and tuck herself away in Stiletto's wings.. feeling sleepy already again "mm.. mmhmm.. very good idea.." Glyph cuddles close as well, pressing tight against them and yawning. "And I love the both of you... a nap sounds... nice..." He rests his head on Kat's nuzzling into her mane. "A nice little nap..."
