Eris coughed softly. "Um yeah, sure." She blushed and hid behind her mane as they walked a bit closer to the heart. It did look even more impressive up close. Whilst they were standing admiring it, Eris noticed a curious unicorn colt studying it too. He could have been Thunder's baby brother, if not for the red eyes and horn; he had the same grey coat and black mane, and Eris couldn't help but feel there was something different about him, some hidden power perhaps, or something he might do in the future? She shrugged. It was probably nothing. "Shall we go?" She asked, turning to Thunder. "I think I'd like to see that library now." It was past noon already, and she wanted plenty of time to browse...
Thunder saw the colt and smiled before turning to the heart. He always found it impressive. He then turned to Eris as she spoke. "Sure. To the library then." He said smiling as he gave her a soft nuzzle in her nose, then took her to the library.
Eris looked in wonder at the number of books, and started giggling so uncontrollably she had to sit down and cover her mouth with her hooves. It had taken her countless centuries to collect the books in her study, and here there were hundreds of times as many! She looked around, not knowing where to start. (The colt was meant to be Sombra, btw )
(Oh... ooooooohhhhh I see what you did there ) Thunder smiled after seeing her face in awe. "This is the biggest of equestria. Feel free to look around." He said smiling. He then took a small map of the library. "Here, so you know where is everything." Even though he knew she loved chaos, order had it advantages.
She threw her hooves around his neck, hugging him emphatically. "Oh thankyouthankyouthankyou! This is the best place you could have ever brought me!" She kissed his cheek, then let him go and studied the map, before skipping off to explore.
Thunder smiled and hugged Eris back after she hugged him like that. He loved felling her fur against his. He nuzzled her after a moment. "I'm glad you like it." He said as he let her go so she could explore. He then went to see what books where on sale..
Several hours later and it was closing time for the library. Eris was half arguing, half pleading with the head librarian to be allowed to stay awhile longer; she'd read books she'd only ever heard of, and discovered many new ones, but she had barely scratched the surface...
Thunder had bought several books he liked and Eris would like, or he thought so. He then giggled as Eris begged to the head librarian to let her stay a while longer. He went with Eris and nuzzled her. "I bought new books. Also, we can come again one day." He said smiling to her once the librarian had left. As they walled out, Thunder looked at her. "So, only the soa is left, unless you want to go home now." He then said to her. If she didn't wanted, he had a back up plan
Eris sighed a little, still upset at having to leave the library, and thought about it. "I don't know... I've read about spas, and they sound nice, but I'd rather go in my body, and obviously we can't do that." She looked at him apologetically. "Do you want to go to the spa? I'll go if you want us too~"
"I... actually have a better idea for that dear." He said smiling to her as he nuzzled her. "Lets go home honey~" he said after a moment.
"I like the sound of that~" She said, curious as to what he might mean. She spotted a quiet alley, and headed into it, pulling Thunder with her. She stomped her hoof, and they were back at the portal, hopefully with nopony at the Crystal Empire any the wiser. "Hey guys!" She said, petting Lone and Courage happily as the walked into the portal. Lone watched her go, and nodded at Thunder. It seemed to be a nod of thanks, possibly even respect.
Tbundet followed het into the alley until she teleported them back home. Once in the portal, he looked around, looking for anypony. Once he made sure they were alone, he followed Eris smiling. He noticed Lone nodding to him. He grinned and nodded back. It looked that Lone was starting to trust him. He then followed Eris inside. Once inside, he hurried to catch up with her. Once with her, he nuzzled her.
Eris smiled and nuzzled back. "So, what's this plan of yours?" She asked, reverting to her true form and shaking out her mane. She stretched a little, then booped Thunder, returning him to his usual Alicorn self. Much better.
Thunder scrunched his nose in a silly way as she booped him and turned back to his real form. He then smiled to her. "Oh~" he giggled. "Wait for me in the study. I will call you when it is ready~" he said smiling as he went to their room and closed the door, locking it so she didn't tried to walk in and she get the message of not seeing.
Eris raised an eyebrow at this interesting development, but did what she was told. She sat in her study, thinking how small and ill-equipped it looked to her now...
After around 20 later, Thunder came out. "Oh, Eris~" he called for her in from the room. A quite odd but charming smell came from the room.
Eris frowned a little, and looked up from her book, now even more mystified. Time to find out the nature of this plan of his...
As soon as Eris walked in, she would found her bed arranged with the pullows around.as well as the petals of some roses, as well as a wonderful smell around the room. "Well, since you made a point in the spa, I decided to make one just for you~" he said smiling as he lead her to the bed so he could start.
"Aww, Thunder, that's so sweet of you~!" Eris said, softly. She loved what he'd done; this was much better than the spa in the Crystal Empire could have been! She lay down on the bed for him, wondering what might be in store for her...
Thunder smiled and kissed her nose before she laid down on the bed. He turned her around so her back was up and then started using his hooves to massage her all over her body, not leaving a place his his hooves didn't touched.
