Sunday Sunset with Celestia

(Originally written Oct. 26 2014, this is just a little something I typed from my phone while watching the sun set)

>You stare out into the splendid horizon, watching colors blend beautifully in the evening sky
>Blue meets orange harmoniously as the sun casts off the last of its daily radiance
"Wow. Even better than the sunset last Sunday."
>You turn to your princess and give a warm smile
>She smiles back, not visibly strained by the task of lowering the sun for the day
>"Indeed it is. I'm glad to have you here watching them with me, Anonymous."
"My pleasure."
>As the sun begins to fall beneath the horizon, she rests her head on your shoulder
>"Say... what goes through your mind when you stare off into the sunset?"
"The fact that if I go blind someday, I'll have a great reason."
>She laughs while supporting herself against you, but soon stops to remain concentrated on finishing her duty
>"Clever," she says while wiping a tear from her eye
"What do you think about?"
>"Exactly what I'm doing, including its significance to my dear subjects. What I do for them at least once a day helps them maintain so much during their lives... it's more than enough to pay some thought. I actually have a lot of that to spare while I do the deed."
"I see."
>"It doesn't require nearly as much concentration for me as it used to, which leaves me almost abundantly free to think over... lots of things, really."
>She wraps you in one of her wings and sighs contentedly as she finishes her chore


>"I have to admit though, I do think about you too. You are still intriguing to me, I'm not sure I'll ever grow out of my fascination."
"I don't mind that."
>She rests her head against yours and smiles
>"Then I suppose that makes two of us."
>She yawns, clearly spent from lowering the sun
>Must've taken more out of her than you were lead to believe
"Should we get to bed?"
>She looks into your eyes as hers glimmer in the recently added moonlight
>"Let's stay out for a while."
>She looks up, compelling you to do the same
>The night sky looked astounding
>It was no wonder you'd catch her sitting on her bedroom balcony at night oftentimes
>You redirect your line of sight with Celest-
>She's gone...?
>You turn to see her walking quietly back to her castle
"... Princess?"
>"Oh, I'm just claiming 'dibs' on the remote. Feel free to join me inside when you finish your stargazing."
>She giggles to herself as you stand there embarrassed
>Outsmarted again, with no complaints
>You roll your eyes with a daft smirk
"Coming my dear."
