Lets take a chance
{A troubled and (mostly) nervous healer and scholar have spent many a night and day now argumenting with himself about what to do with his marefriend. See, he has in his posession two items that he procured for the very special reason of asking her a question. The thing is, while getting the items themself wasn't too hard, asking the question itself has proven to be... difficult.}
It had already become night when the blue-coated unicorn finally started to make his way back to his own tent after a day of healing and assistance. Thankfully, nothing serious had happened to put a mood on the evening, which was starting to reveal itself as a rather beautiful one. While the air was chilly, it wasn't enough as to make the unicorn freeze, and as he left the many lights of the refugee camp behind, the nightsky opened up to reveal a thousand shining stars.
"To think," The unicorn thought, "that in spit of all that had happened, some things still stay the same..."
But this line of thought quickly skidded to a halt, as a tent, his and his significant other's tent, came into his field of vision. He suddenly became aware of the weight of his saddlebags, and in particular the weight of the two small items lying at the bottom of the bags, safely hidden. Like his thoughts, his trot too slowed down to a stop.
He took a moment to look around again. "Tonight is a particulary good night..." He thought before swallowing nervously. After conluding this, he simply stands still for a few moments before slowly starting his approach again, the tent his only focus.

Trixie yawned getting up from a short nap, she preferred moving around at night as it seemed safer if you knew what you were doing. She looked around for her colt friend but didn't see him in their tent so she decided to go looking for him. As luck would have it as soon as she peeked outside of the tent she spot him, looking rather nervous. "Moon? IS everything alright?"

Moon freezes up at being spotted, just standing still for a few moments with his mind going hayvire before answering (or attempting to do so).
"Ah, eh, y-yeah! All is, uh, fine." He says, hoping his nervousity doesn't show. He also forgets to resume his approach of the tent.

"Well are you coming in or are you going to stand there like a dork?" She smiled at him.

His face reddens as he realizes that she is right. "O-Oh, right." He replies as he quickly resumes his trot and heads for the tent.

Trixie shakes her head and chuckles. She pulls her head back in to tent and quickly pats her mane down with her magic so it didn't look so unkempt.

Shortly after resuming his trot, and Trixie disappeared back into the tent, he stops again, this time just outside the tent, his mind and heart filled with sudden hesitation.
"Is this really the right time..?" He thinks for a moment before shaking the thought away with a shake of his head in determination.
He then enters the tent before his thoughts can get the better of him.

"About time you made it in, I almost though a dragon came down and swooped you up!" Trixie laughs a bit.
"You sure you are alright Moon? You seem a little out of it more than usual." She walks up to him and places a hoof on his head.

(You have chosen well. The swede in me applause you.)
As he watches her laugh, Moon can't help but to forget his nervousness for a few moments to chuckle along with her.
He however remembers it the moment she approaches and he reddens a little under her touch. "W-Well, I'm not sick."

"Well if you aren't sick.. Then what's wrong love? Something happen on your rounds healing ponies?" She looks in his eyes concerned.

"Oh no, nothing like that." He says and shakes his head. He considered for a moment to tell her right there and then but... it didn't feel right to do it here (also his nervosity said to him that it'd be better to do it not quite yet).
So he sits down, trying to act natural. "I'll ah, tell you later. So uhm, *cough* how's it been going pn your end?" He asks in a blatant attempt to change the subject.

Trixie scratches her mane and sighs. "Well, some of these ponies won't be ready for combat.. Ever.." She shook her head. "Stressful"

He sighs sadly at hearing that, reminded of the grim reality they were living in.
"I suppose I don't blame them. It's not easy going from a normal life to... this. At least we're doing what we can for them..." He says, a desire to be able to do more in his thoughts.

"Yeah, at least most of them grasp basic combat spells. Unlike a certain special somepony." She smile and sticks her tonge out at him.

"Hey..." He says in mock hurt. "I did try at least."
He then takes a few moment to think about what to do. Was this really the right time? He wasn't too sure anymore.
"Maybe... some other time." He decides with an inward sigh.
"Still, it'd be a shame to let that go to waste." He then ponders with a smile.
"Ah, by the way Trixie, I actually got my hooves on something today while on my rounds..." He says and reaches into his saddlebags.

"Oh? And what may that be Moon?" Trixie examined the bag from where she stood.

"See, you know I normally don't accept payment for healing others but there was this one stallion in camp that insisted I take this. He didn't want it at all so I thought, why not?"
While he had been talking, he had simultaneously been searching his bags and upon finishing his sentence he procured from them a bottle. Namely, a bottle of cider. Specifically a bottle of certified Apple family cider.
"It'd be a shame to just throw it away, don't you think?" He asks innocently.

Trixie's eyes went wide and she grinned. "Oh Moon, I could certainly use some of that right about now."

The stallion can't help but grin. "How fortunste we are then~" He says and pops the bottle open with the help of some magic before passing it over to Trixie.
"I believe they say mares first?"

"Why, how generous of you Moon. I'll gladly have the first sip." She smiles taking the bottle with her magic and taking a swig from it. She sighs in delight as the warmth of the alcohol fill her. "Say what you want about that Orange mare.. I believe her name is.. Apple..jack? But she makes amazing cider."

Moon can't help but hum in agreement as he takes a swig of his own.
.
.
.
And after several swigs had passed, he had at this point developed a slight redness across his cheeks. He was also right now giggling slightly at something he remembered strongly as very funny though what exactly it was eluded him.

Trixe's cheeks too were red, though she could hold her liquor slightly better then he could. When she got up to move on the other hoof, that would not appear so. She stumbled a bit at first tripping over her hooves silently cursing them for their drunken clumsiness. When she got herself steady she looked at Moon with her head tilted to the side. "What's so funny Moonie?"

He pauses his giggling for a moment at the question and turns to look at Trixie. The mask quickly falls however as a huge grin manages to sneak past his poor facial defenses. "I don't knooow~" He says as he, a bit clumsily, starts leaning into Trixie, a chuckle escaping him as he does so.
"It was real funny though~" He adds insight-fully(to him at least).

Trixie nuzzles into his neck and smiles. "Well think about it Book Pone, you are the brains of the operations"

"Really? And here here I thought I was just the dork." He says before letting out a content hum. "Hmmmm, yes, a dork who doesn't even know how to ask a simple question~" He then adds, not really being aware of what it is he is saying.

"Oh? What, kind of simple question may that be my Moonie?" She smiles pecking his cheek.

Instead of answering he at first goes into a giggling fit. "No, no~" He starts. "This isn't-" He however cuts himshelf short and his lax expression changes to one that could be described as dead seriousness.
He starts to look around the tent, appraising it, while appearantly thinking intensively.

"Come on Moon, tell me!" Trixie whines in his ear.

He does not answer for several moments but when he does, he does it while quickly jumping/staggering back up on his hooves.
"Come! We need to go outside!" He says, determination set in his eyes and expression in spite of his still rosey cheeks.
