A New Nightmare Awakens
Clothing : Problem
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhile Ryan was off preparing breakfast, Nightmare Moon was left alone with her thoughts in the restroom. 'I should not have threatened him like that, after all he has a point he can kick me out and then I will be left alone, vulnerable.' She thought while her face displayed a worried frown. 'True but you are royalty you deserve respect even from someone who saved you from an unknown, and probably worst fate than right now.' She was about to continue her mental discussion with herself, but Ryan's voice broke her train of thoughts.
''Nightmare, the breakfast is ready!'' He said looking at her through the door frame. ''Come and eat before it get's cold!'' He said as he moved out of sight, probably to the kitchen table.
Without replying she moved to the kitchen. Once in she saw a little table barely able to hold three person with plates full of breakfast food, which she assumed was waffles, placed across from each other. 'If Luna was here her face would be stuffed to the brim with waffles already.' Sadly, this train of thoughts also made her realized that, once again she was now separated from Luna, which meant that she was truly alone now.
Ryan seeing Nightmare's expression shift from happy to sad wondered what made that change, but didn't act on it. Instead he just presented her with the plate of waffles in front of her and said, ''I didn't know what you would like to eat for breakfast, so I made waffles, hope they're at your liking?'' He finished, while picking his knife and fork, and waiting for Nightmare to take her seat and do the same. ''Now from what you told earlier, you don't know how to use your new body, right?'' He said, while waiting for her confirmation, at her nodding in affirmation he continued. ''Well there is nothing magical to it really, just do what I do and if you got question about how things work well, just ask and I will answer, is that okay with you?'' As she nodded in affirmation, again, they started eating.
But before she could start Ryan spoke again, this time in confusion. ''Aren't you gonna, you know take of your armor, now that I think about it, before eating?'' He said while eyeing her blue gauntlet. ''In fact if you were not human before how come your armor is so... well human like?''
Nightmare looked at him wearily, as if waiting for him to do something improper that would annoy, and anger, her. But seeing as his look of confusion, and the honesty present in his voice, and eyes, were true. She concluded that, indeed, she could remove her armor in safety to get more comfortable, but not before warning him for good measure. ''I shall remove my armor, but try anything , and I mean anything, that seems out of place or hostile, and you shall face my wrath.'' She said before starting to remove her armor, for it was easy, since her armor enchantment seemed to have followed through her teleportation, and transformation through the world of Earth and Equestria. ''And to answer your question, I am unsure as to what caused the transformation of myself and the armor.''
Ryan's look amazement at seeing Nightmare peel her armor off as if there was no restraint at all, quickly turned to embarrassment and shock, seeing as she had no cloth underneath. Raising a hand in front of his eyes for modesty, quickly interrupted Nightmare's action in removing her armor. ''Wowow stop, stop!'' Feeling her exasperation at being interrupted, he quickly elaborated. ''Nightmare don't you have any cloth underneath your armor?'' He asked still not looking at her, in fear of seeing her naked, not because she was ugly but because she was beautiful.
''No I do not, why? Is there a problem?'' She asked exasperated but slightly confused as well at Ryan's reaction at seeing her remove her armor.
''Actually yes!'' He replied, and she was about ask why but he continued in his answer. ''You see, humans here on Earth always wear clothes, be it in public or alone, do you get what I'm saying?'' He asked hopeful that she did get it, after all she was quick witted enough to realize is thought just by looking at his face earlier.
Her cheeks flares red with a mixture of embarrassment at her seemingly improper action, and anger at being implied that she is dim witted by Ryan. Taking a long breath to calm her frazzled nerves, so she does not explode on Ryan, and make the situation worse for her. She look up at him with a calm expression. ''I understand perfectly mister Ryan,'' she said while putting her armor back on. ''I am sorry if my earlier action has brought you discomfort, for you see, we Equestrian do not normally wear clothes, and I simply assumed the same was for Earth and its inhabitants.'' She finished, but she decided to only remove her gauntlet as it would greatly makes the eating of her breakfast more difficult.
Ryan lowered his hand, as he realized that she had put her armor back on. But his thoughts drifted to the fact that he will likely have to buy cloths for her, if she were to pass as a normal woman of six feet and eight inches. Okay as normal as she can be, which will be difficult, considering her size since tall woman are kind of rare from his point of view.
Ryan looking up from his thoughts, realized that Nightmare was waiting for him to show her how to use her hands, and without further ado they started eating. The breakfast went without trouble, apart from Nightmare's first few clumsy attempts to use her hands. Ryan was looking at her most of the time thinking how beautiful she is when embarrassed li... His thought came to a crashing halt, did he just thought of her as cute? That woman has one of the worst temper ever, she is so volatile and violent. His bruised side where she kicked him is a proof to that, and decided to return to eating his breakfast.
After they both finished eating Ryan got up, took the two plates and went to the sink. Dropping them in the sink, he made his way back to Nightmare Moon, who was still seated at her chair waiting for Ryan. He was about to talk to her about getting clothes fitting for her, but Nightmare was already speaking. ''You know mister Ryan you never gave me the honor of knowing you full name, and so I formally request that you give your full name?'' She spoke with all the grace and fluidity of royalty.
A little thrown off by the question, but thinking over their previous talks he did realize that he never fully presented himself to her, even though she did. ''Oh, hum, sorry I never realized eh eh!'' He chuckled while rubbing the back of his head in slight embarrassment. ''Well my full name is Ryan drowskie and, well there is nothing more to add so that would be it.''
He was about leave the kitchen but quickly turned around to face Nightmare who got up as well and was following him ''Oh and before I forget, I will bring you a spare set of clothe before I shower, and I would like you to change into that before going out to buy you a new set of clothes!'' Let's just say that Nightmare's reaction wasn't the one he expected, and that things were about to get really loud, really soon.
