The draconequus looked at Fluttershy and smiled, this mutual morning grooming had become regular part of their routine with a similar ritual before bed. Fluttershy first gave him a good brushing and grooming, and then he would return the favor.
The morning breeze caused the curtains of a nearby open window to sway slowly. From outside they could hear a chorus of birds singing. The sweet scent of new grass and blossoming flowers filled the air.
“Well, my beautiful wife. You’re ready to face the day looking your fineness. Now let get breakfast started!” He snapped his fingers and various pots and pans sprang to life and started gathering ingredients for breakfast.
Fluttershy looked back over her shoulder at Discord and smiled. “Um, thank you dear. I am going to take a very short flight to stretch my wings, and then take care of our animal friends. Uh, could we have sticky buns for breakfast dear?”
Discord snapped his fingers and cookbook appeared floating in the air next to him. “I’ll get right on it!”
The pegasus rose from the couch. Snapping her own fingers there came slithering from their bedroom like a pair of serpents her 12ft black bullwhip and a belt. The belt first coiled up her left leg and then clasped itself around her waist. With it in place her whip slithered up her right leg and coiled itself in its holding loop.
Fluttershy did a quick check and confirmed that the whip was properly secured, then she started strolling toward the front door. Her husband watched this and giggled.
“Aren’t you going to get dressed first?” He said with a grin on his face.
The mare stopped at the door and looked back at him. “No. Um, that’s what I like about living out in the forest.” Then stepped out of the cottage, leaving the front door open.
The chiffon yellow mare’s coat seemed to glow in the early morning. She stopped a few feet away from the door and slowly spread her wings and stretched her arms above her head as many of her animals friends began to gather around her.
With the lush green groves of trees in front of her, Fluttershy looked like some forest goddess. She closed her eyes and smiled. Then she launched herself into the morning sky.
The draconequus watched her fly away then he looked back at the cookbook. After a second he said out loud.
