The Best Night Ever (Private with The_Pariah)

"The captain has assigned me to guard you." Paladin sighed.

"Well... I guess that makes some sense." Celestia looks at him, then Harmony. "You brought her here?"

"This is the safest place I could think of." He sat down, his armour clanking. "There is too much stress in my life."

"We're two of a kind, then." Celestia sighed. "So you're just going to sit around here with me?"

"I can give you a massage if you want Princess."

"Um... not strictly necessary... but if you want to, who am I to refuse?" Celestia smiled.

He chuckled, sliding his hooves out his armoured shoes. Walking over, he cracked his hooves, before gently pushing her down stripping her of her regalia.

Harmony raises an eyebrow at Paladin as he gets to work. "Are we talking about a massage here, or a 'massage'?"

Paladin sniggered and began to work the knots out of Celestia's shoulders. "That would be up to you and her. I was going for just a massage... But I can't say I've ever seen you actually relieve yourself Cell."

Harmony blushed. "Paladin, are you seriously talking about this in front of the Princess?"

Celestia sighed. "Typical of him. Yes, Paladin, you've never seen me relieve myself."

"We are the best of friends." He chuckled. "Aww, you know I mean no harm." He moved his hooves slowly lower, slipping her spine back into place.

"Ah." Celestia sighed. "That's a lot better."

"Uh huh." Harmony shifted awkwardly. "Is there nothing I can do? At all?"

Paladin chuckled again, spreading her wings gently, and he began to preen them. "Well Harmony, you could relax, read a book... whatever you want. I don't mind."

"Neither do I." Celestia added. "Please, do as you wish."

"Um... okay." Harmony moved off towards the side room. "Maybe I can play some music. I left my violin in there this morning. Give me a moment."

"Excellent. I love listening to you play dear." He purred, now massaging her sides.

[Calling it an early night. Seeyah]

Harmony went into the room, shutting the door behind her.

"Mm... yeah, that's good." Celestia breathed.

((Goodnight!))

He moved to the base of her spine, massaging it slowly.

"Ah..." Celestia smiled. "Thanks, Paladin. I really appreciate it."

"I can keep going if you want." He replied, getting off her slowly.

"Yeah, may as well." Celestia replied. "Not like there's anything else to do."

He chuckled, his hooves massaging her flanks.

The door from the side room opened, and Harmony stepped back in, her violin in the air. "Sorry that took a while. I was just doing a little rehearsal." She touched the bow to the violin. "This was the very first song I played in the Bar, Paladin. I don't think you were here to hear it, though."

She begins to play.

Paladin moved to her thighs, slowly stretching her out a he listened to Harmony play.

"Mm." Celestia nodded. "That's really good... both of you."

He smiled and finished massaging her. "I would recommend moving for a bit." He slid onto the room and sighed. "Well, at least you're relaxed~"
