“As I’m sure you’re aware, Twilight has gotten approval for some new and exquisitely diverse academy to be built in Ponyville,” Eris stated.

Staying right where he was, content to remain in her embrace, Anon shook his head. “I actually haven’t heard of it, but go on.”

“I could, if given a bit of encouragement, pull a few cosmic strings and get you a job at this establishment - after it’s been built, that is. No more living in Twilight’s castle, no more being ferried around and shown off like some exotic pet - simply a humble life that will totally be devoid of any obscene hijinks,” she tittered.

Her tone and giddy demeanor smacked of mischief, yet he was compelled to hear more. Having a normal life, working a job and being able to court someone, would be a refreshing change of pace, even if many would consider such things boring. Considering the matter, wondering what other thoughts she may have, he craned his neck and kissed her collar.

“Just don’t make me a janitor or something,” he noted.

His comment caused her to guffaw and kick her legs in amusement, doing little to reassure his unease that she’d meddle with the prospective offer. “Why I’d never get you such a demeaning career - anyways, yes, there’s one other issue we’ll have to address.”

“That being?” he pressed.

“After we spend a bit more time together, I’m going to have to wipe the memory of this whole ordeal from that delightfully round head of yours. I’m sorry, but having a wayward human traipsing about knowing he’s bedded myself and half the royals in the land simply won’t do,” she resignedly admitted.

Digesting what she’d said, he kept silent. There was no denying she’d made a damn good point, especially since nobody else would have any knowledge of what had transpired, and he was finding it difficult to make a counterargument. For all intents and purposes, he was being offered a new life, a chance to wipe the slate clean, and all the opportunities which came with it. After mulling the idea over for a minute, he gave her a small nod and sealed his fate.

“Alrighty then,” she chirped, giving yet another snap. “Once you leave here, maybe after a few days of being my guest, you’ll be whisked back to Twilight’s castle as if nothing had happened at all. While this path you’ve chosen may not happen overnight, since the school has yet to be constructed, I’m sure you’ll have plenty of fun…”
