After a little while, the book was finished, and Eris' tummy was rumbling. "Come on you," She said, turning to Thunder, much more cheerful than before, "Let's get something inside me." She blushed and then added; "Uh, food, I mean...I'm hungry!" She blushed some more, then blurted out "Lunch!"
Thunder couldn't help it but laugh as Eris said that. "Yeah, yeah. Alright, lets go." He said smiling as he calmed down.
Eris held his hoof happily as they got up and headed to the kitchen. "So, you got any ideas?" She asked with a smile. "What's good after-battle food?"
He smiled. "Since we won, we can eat what we want!" He said happily. "Lets make all the food you wamt to eat." He said nuzzling her
Eris smiled, liking that idea. She clicked her talons, and a feast appeared on the table; piles of fresh fruit, a plateful of cakes, sandwiches, pies, salad, a cheese board, and loaves of freshly baked bread. She chuckled, summoning up two plates, and handing one to Thunder.
After they had eaten, Eris grinned and summoned up a bottle of green liquid and two glasses. She poured a little of the liquid into each glass, then passed one to Thunder. "Here, try this," She said, giggling. It was absinthe, and very strong, but she didn't tell Thunder that. She drank hers, and then smiled at him, already feeling a little tipsy. She didn't know if Thunder drank, but she didn't know if there would be another battle tomorrow, so she wanted to enjoy the rest of the day as much as she could, and this was one thing they hadn't done together yet.
Thunder finished a pair of minutes after her and then saw the liquid she gave him. He didn't hesitated and drank some of it. It was really strong! He stoped and started feeling a bit... odd...
"It is... quite strong.,," he said, but he put some more on his and kept drinking. He soon was a bit drunk, his alicorn form helping control it a bit.
Eris grinned and nodded. "It has to be; it takes a lot to get me drunk, part of being a draconequus, I think." She looked at him and smiled slyly. "I bet I could drink you under the table, alicorn." She waited to see if he would pick up the challenge.
"Heh, a challenge. I'm in." He said smirking to her as she grabbed the bottle and got himself even more.
About 4 cups later, they were still both matching each other. Eris refilled their glasses, spilling a little as the bottle wobbled about in her grasp. "Cup number five!" She announced, grinning wonkily. "Letsh she what urr made of, mishter alicorn!" She drank a little more, then decided to ask him a question; "Sho, tell meh," She slurred, trying to focus on Thunder, "You and Sheleshtia; how exshactly did that happen, hmmm?" She wasn't angry, but she was curious, and for some reason, it didn't seem as wrong to ask him now...
Thunder was having a hard time not to fell down to the floor. He then heard what she said. Even though he tried to look calm, he could harly do it. "Oh... Shelesthia..." he said, as he drank some more. "It shtarhted a looooooooooooooong time ago...." he said as he almost fell down. "She tried to *hic* get meh married with her 'cause.... 'cause...." he almost got lost for a moment. "Oh.. yeah. Ahm an alicorn.... she is one...*hic* she whanted a foal..."
"She wannted you to get marrieded wiv her?" Eris wasn't sure whether to find that funny or sad, so she decided to laugh and frown at the same time. She leaned in close, forgetting that they were alone, and whispered to him. "Sho... what did u doo?" She gasped dramatically and grabbed his hoof. "Ur not sheecretly married, are you!?"
Thunder smiled and leaned forward, then backwards. "Ya... she whanted tu..." he said, then lost a bit of balance when she took his hoof. "Oh... nonononononono... we ahe not married...." he said as he laid on her chest. "Yu happened... befohe I had to marry her...." he said to her chest.
Somehow, by this point, they were back on the sofa in the sitting room. Eris couldn't remember leaving the kitchen, but she didn't care. She giggled and hugged Thunder as he lay on top of her. "Be four you had tooo? She waash forshing you to?" She frowned. That *squee!*! "Ish that what happened when you... you know... um..." Eris searched for the right phrase. "...played hide tha pickle wiv her?" She hadn't wanted to hear about Thunder and Celestia being together before, but now she knew Thunder chose her, it seemed kind of funny to her.
Thunder shrugged and nodded. "Yup..." he said as he hugged her, gently caresing her mane. How they go there? He had no idea... like if he cared. He nuzzled her after a moment. "But ah hav yu now..." he said smiling.
Eris smiled happily. "You shure *hic* do! An ah'm so pleashed about it~" She nuzzled him back and gave him a long kiss, closing her eyes. Suddenly she remembered something. "Oh noesh! I've losht *hic* count of our drinksh! Now how will we noesh who won!?"
Thunder kissed her back smiling until she said that. "Right *hic* .... uhm... like if ah cared..." he said, as he lost balance and fall on her chest, soon falling asleep.
