The Multi-Dimensional OC Bar

"A dragon doesn't count, right?" She asks, slightly blushing. "Even though we've slept together every night since we met."

Ician raises an eyebrow. "Ordinarily, I wouldn't be drawn to question it, but I've seen too many strange things in this bar to dismiss it out of hoof." He pauses. "You two slept together, or slept together...?"

"....We haven't done that if that's what you're asking..." Arianwyn says, blushing even more.

Ician nods. "Fair enough. Not, of course, that I was seriously expecting you to have done... that... with... the dragon..." He hesitates. "Alright, it was a possibility. But not a probability."

"It helps. My magic is powered by love." He kissed her again, his horn bursting into light. Behind him, between him and Ician, a metre thick wall burst into existence, topped in spikes. It erupted upwards, not disputing the chairs and tables as it slammed into the room. "It doesn't affect furniture or non-hostiles."

Ician gasps in shock, tumbling over the table. His horn flares brightly, and six chairs glowing with the same aura fly to him and position themselves between him and the wall.

A few seconds pass. Ician blinks, blushes, then coughs awkwardly. "Um... I see. Powered by love, was it?"

"I can only assume so, given that my power has increased significantly since I started dating Harmony." He rested his head in the crook of her neck. The shield dropped away and her murred.

Arianwyn looks away, blushing even more "...I might have to do ...that.. with Frost if unexpected heat comes...." she shudders.

Paladin cocked his head. "Oh... The heat... That's coming around for you isn't it Harmony?" He glanced at Arianwyn. "You could also ask a good friend. Most stallions are gentlemanly about the whole scenario."

Harmony purrs into Paladin's shoulder. "That was brilliant, dear. Even if it was a little surprising..." She blushes. "And yes, it might be that time of the month... soon."

Ician turns to Arianwyn. "Surely there are... other services for taking care of heat." The corners of his mouth twitch upwards. "And I'm sorry, but I find the notion of doing that with a frost dragon if heat comes faintly amusing."

Paladin chuckled nervously. "Well, I can't wait. I'm sure it'll be a wonderful experience... Hmm... Maybe that's not the right word. Interesting." He kissed her. "And you know the best thing about my love, dear?"

Harmony gazes at him with half-lidded eyes. "I think I know the answer already."

"...I'm sure some of the parts of Frost are relatively warm... as for the stallions helping me out.. I don't really wanna walk around the streets asking random stallions if they wanna do that.. would make me look like a hooker." She says, sipping her tea.

"Well then by all means, tell me love~" he purred.

"I said a friend silly."

Arianwyn lowers her head "...if only I had one that wasn't already married..."

Harmony smiles. "Oh, I think you know too."

Meanwhile, Ician glances at Paladin, then at Arianwyn. "Well... at least you're better off than me, in a way." He lowers his head. "I think the only friends I have are you all. And Divine, but she's not here."

"Divine?" He cocked his head. "Hmmm... I think I know that name..."

He kissed Harmony. "Tell me~"

Harmony giggles. "Oh come on, dear, I'm not going to have to spell it out to you, am I?" She leans in close. "I'll just say that I don't think my heat is going to be a very big problem."

"Divine Retribution? The judge in Fillydelphia?" Ician cocks his head. "Have you met her before? I can't seem to recall if you have."

He chuckled and nuzzled her, blushing slightly. "Touché my love. Touché~" he turned to Ician. "I think so... I recall meeting her in Canterlot... Can't place when though..."

Ician takes a final sip from his glass and, noticing it empty, pushes it to the side. "I don't recall seeing her in Canterlot. But she has been around the Bar a few times."

He calls out to Martini, "Another glass, please? Thank you."

"Really? Huh... It was definitely in Canterlot..." He kissed Harmony and picked her up, putting her on his back.

"What are you doing, dear?" Harmony asks, almost falling off for a brief second before maintaining her balance.

Ician shrugs. "Well, I don't venture out from my office very often. Not before I found this bar, at least. So I'm not the best judge of current events." He pauses. "Oh Celestia, I just made a pun there, didn't I?"

"You did. And I was thinking we could go home my dear." He kissed her. "You've got me excited, and I want to try something I just thought of." He smiled at Ician. "We'll be back later I'm sure."

Harmony smiles coyly at Paladin. "Oh, I see. Can't hold yourself back, eh?"

Ician stares at them, nonplussed. "... Perhaps you'll be back. Eventually. From the way things seem, you two are going to be away for a while." He sighs. "A long, long while."

"At least someone is gonna get some enjoyment.. " Arianwyn sighs and sips her tea again.
