"It is fine, you are a really good friend if you are doing such a thing for him." Luna said calmly, "You are a good Stallion, and I would not ask for anything else."
Nebula blushed and he nodded, "When he returns I plan to ask if I can be moved up to guarding the towers. It seems like a much more interesting job and... well I don't want to brag.... but... I am the best swordspony in my class..."
"You are hm?" Luna asked, smirking, "Ok, swords pony, at midnight in the forest show me your skill then."
He blushed heavily, but he did nod his affirmation, "I-I don't mean to brag, honest! I-I'm just repeating what it said on my performance report."
"I understand, and I want you to be my sparring partner later tonight~" She said calmly, a little more silently, and somewhat in a seductive way. She was going to have some fun tonight, but hopefully she could use her favorite weapon.
He blushed heavily and he nodded, then they brought the pasta salad to them. He also had a small bowl of fruit, which he prompltely ate. Just as with all Canterlot food, the pasta was divine, "Do you like it?"
As soon as Luna took a small bite, she began to pick up her pace with each bite. Byt he tike he asked this question she was almost done, "Oh my! This is absolutely divine!"
He gave a large smile, "I thought you'd like it, Luna." He blushed and ate his share, yet he let the majority of it to her. In all honesty, he didn't feed that much on pony food. Normally he'd feed on fruit, juices, or blood if it was that hungry.
Nebula nodded and he stood up, shivering just a bit. He wanted this to be perfect for her. He knew that she wanted him to be, and as such, he didn't want to anger her.
"Certainly. I'm not certain if you wish to head to the forest or not..." He blushed heavily, nudging his little small sword he always carried, "I-It's protocal I have this with me at all times."
"I know, and perhaps we should head to the forest now," Luna said as she took off towards her objective.
He gave a small nodded, "of course." He spread his wings and yawned slightly. He launched himself into the air and flew to the forest.
Luna smirked as she took off into the tree's hiding herself from the Bat Pony. With how fast she was flying, he could not know where she was, he would need to look for her. She wanted a little game out of this, and thus she created a scythe out of darkness.
Nebula focused on the moment and drew his blade, holding it in his teeth. He dropped to the ground and stood there, listening to the darkness. The dark could reveal things. If sight was gone, listen for the tiniest disturbance. Which was why when Luna came to swipe he deflected it and made a jab at her midsection.
Luna used her wings to fly right above his head, giving it a good kick to make him think a bit more... she was going to be a little more violent than usual.
Nebula made a defensive swipe, yet he still caught her hoof. He let out a sigh, masking his pain to her. He knew that, in the air, he stood almost no chance against her. Yet if he could get her on the ground... He looked up and he called, "Too cowardly to fight me on the ground? You alicorns and your wings!" It was a corny line, yet he wanted to get her a bit closer. He instantly got himself ready for her attack.
Luna swooped down onto the ground, but almost in an instant, she used a teleportation. She would keep him guessing, but the time would come soon enough to strike.
Just as he expected, she was flashing around him. Yet every time she did so, the wind where she was going to teleport to changed in that direction. He twisted suddenly, jumping up and deflecting the blow.
