Of course I had been excited, when I encountered my dear Rarity here at the castle.  I had seen a moment of hesitation in her eyes, but since she never offered any explanation as to how or why my presence would be inconvenient; I jumped up on her back and enjoyed the ride, just as royally as usual.

Everything had been looking up and it was seemingly fine, just that I couldn’t help but notice how she started to be distracted as if she had been intoxicated; not that I have all that much experience with these things, as my friends rarely even mention the subject and I myself am I Dragon which means I am not reacting to alcohol the way Ponies do.



 . 

Naturally, she only had one bed in the room she has at the castle, so she decided on sharing it with me.  The beds in the Royal castle are quite large and easily hold two Ponies, or one Pony and a smoall Dragon like me.

Once in bed, one thing led to the next.  Should I have been protesting or refusing what she offered me?  Sorry, I have serious problems in that particular department; just like Fluttershy has problems in standing up to herself.

I may be young and inexperienced, but she certainly had managed to make me enjoy myself; at quite some effort on her part, I may add.  If only I had realized; just how much of an effort she had put into it, in making me enjoy it with her at the time.  Or, if I had understood just why she had put in all the effort into making me enjoying it with her.



 . 

While she herself had a fabulous salad with stylish and crisp vegetables with tea, she had managed to prepare a salad of baby gems for me.  This is the Royal castle of Canterlot, so I guess it isn’t too much of a challenge on her part; knowing how I do love my gems, being a Dragon.

I had been crunching on my gems, slowly; while she sipped soundlessly on her tea in the manner of a true Lady, and slowly enjoying the salad she had before her.  It all amounted to a serene moment with my love, I did never expect anything more than this.  Why should I?  I am struggling with reining in the urges of greed, ever since Zecora gave me the first lesson in managing it.  Besides, why expect more than you have reason to belive to be there?  Impatience never gave me anything other than boredom and sorrow anyway.

After the meal; she had done the dishes in order to leave the kitchen in just as fabulous a manner as she found it, even if I guess it is shimmering just a tad more than when I entered the room.
