Fenris was flying across Ponyville, he was in no hurry and it showed, he was performing some flight maneuvers as he was making his way towards his destination, the library. This time he had his saddlebags with him so he would be able to take a few books home as well, it was also such a time that he would have plenty of time to browse around and see if something would catch his eye... something other than Twilight, that is, he corrected himself.
Realising that he was getting close he straightened up his flight path and made a landing someways away from the library door. He took a moment to stretch his wings before folding them in and heading for the door.
He knocked on the door before opening it and stepping inside, the peculiar scent of the library surrounding him. He slowly walked further inside and called out as he didn't see anyone.
"Excuse me? Is there anyone around?"

The library was silent. It was the way Owlowiscious liked to spend his days on his perch. He had been sleeping in the sunlight from the window peacefully until something interrupted him. He turned his head around quickly, already fully awake and ready for anything. He examined the pony. No threat to the library, a friend of Twilight's.
He spread his wings and flutter to a shelf next to the pony. "Who?" He said, in a way that seemed like Owlowiscious was questioning him. Of course, he could say it no other way. Thats just how it always sounded. Twilight was out, so he might have to fetch her for this pony. Owlowiscious disliked flying to much in daylight, but he tried to please his master, and would do anything for her.

Fenris turned to the owl that had flied next to him and tilted his head.
"It's been a while since I've seen any owls, so I guess you're the only one in at the moment?" Fenris was only guessing, but since he hadn't seen anyone else it was fairly safe to assume so.
"Oh, I'm Fenris, nice to meet you." He said nodding to the owl before turning his attention to the many shelves in the library.
"I hope you don't mind if I take a look around." He slowly walked in front of one of the shelves and started looking through the spines trying to find any titles that would catch his attention.

"Who?" The owl responded the only way it could. Owlowiscious observed even the most subtle movements the pegasus made. He was very intelligent. He could tell he meant no harm. For now, atl least. The owl allowed him to browse the shelves, so long as he didn't leave with anything that didn't belong to him. He casually pecked at his feathers, but had a constant watchful eye on Fenris.

Fenris had found a book that looked interesting, it was a book that detailed the air flow around Pegasus' wing when in flight. It seemed to be fairly recent study, one that Fenris hadn't seen before anyway. He had taken the book out of the shelf and carried it over to the table and was now focusing on reading.
He tended to get too focused when he read from time to time causing him to fade out his surroundings. He was taking his time reading the book and examining the diagrams and drawings within the pages, he was in no hurry afterall...

The owl got comfortable. He closed his eyes slowly. He was still wide awake, listening, but the daylight was a bit to bright for him and mornings were to early for him. Hopefully his master would not be displeased he let the semi-familiar pegasus in. She didn't normally mind, it was a public library after all, but Owlowiscious always aimed to please...
Around 10 minutes later, there was a slight clamor outside. Twilight, who was giggling, parted ways with a friend of hers and walked into the library. "Thank you Owlowiscious, you are relieved." The owl flew from his door side perch gracefully and silently to his nesting area. Twilight put down her bags and turned to notice Fenris's presence.
"Oh, hey Fenris!" She said feeling the need to blush and shy away. She made herself be brave to make friends, so a coltfriend was just like that, only so much more complicated and difficult. She tried to use her good mood to push aside her shyness. She trot over to notice the book Fenris had. "What are you reading?" She said smiling.

Fenris snapped out of his reading when he heard his name called and turned to see who it was. He wasn't entirely surprised to see that it was Twilight and the bit of surprise he felt was entirely on the good side. A warm smile spread itself over his features and he felt his wings shudder a bit, but managed to keep them under control.
"Hello Twilight." He was looking at her when she got closer and his heartrate shot up slightly.
"Oh, this? It's a study about the airflows around pegasus' wings while in flight though it seems it actually also covers the general airflow around pegasus as well, I thought it might help me to further develop my flying." He stopped himself there before he started rambling too much.
"How have you been Twilight haven't gotten chance to speak with you since Nightmare Night, as I've been busy with my jobs, and you left in kinda hurry back then..." He hung his head a bit.
"I hope I didn't do anything wrong..."

Twilight smiled. "Oh no, its.. its okay." Her eyes found the floor. She felt like you could cut the awkwardness in the room with a knife. What was she supposed to say? It was then she remembered she promised to ask him out, as well as Zathra. Easier said than done. She wanted to know who she liked more, but words would not form in her head.
"So uh..." She tried to find something to keep the conversation alive. "Did you come here looking for anything in particular you're looking for, Fenris?" She asked sweetly. She had the feeling Fenris didn't come just to read books all day, but then again, she didn't know what else to say. Twilight tried not to over think any of this and keep it simple.

Fenris' ears perked up as he heard Twilight's reply and he lifted his head to see that she was looking towards the floor. He stayed silent for a moment and then looked at her after she had asked her question.
"Well there wasn't any particular books I came here looking for though I did have some general areas in mind." He pointed his hoof at the book in front of him.
"This was the only one that managed to get my interest so far. But I was looking for books on flyind, the more advanced ones and for ones concerning weather..." He looked around the library.
"Also if there's any fantasy books here I would like to take a look at them..." He smiled at Twilight.
"It's a hobby of mine, one of them anyway." He took out a small slip of paper from one of his pockets and placed it on the book he had been reading before closing it and turning back to Twilight.
"So do you think you can help me find some books?"

"Of course!" She said nodding. Books were a lot easier to deal with than colts. "So if its flying you're looking for, its over here in the non-fiction section. Fantasy are in the fiction, and have a tab on their spine denoting that's what they are." She pulled a pile of books from various shelves with magic. "All of those are good reads, but of course there's more on the shelves." She said with a smile.

Fenris looked at Twilight and the books she was floating around, the sight reminded him when he had seen her do similar feat in the Canterlot library, though it had been with fewer books. Well practice makes perfect, he thought chuckling a little to himself, before taking a look at the books Twilight had floated to the table.
He had already read a few of them and started sorting the books into piles of read and unread books, which didn't take long, he was quite used to handling books afterall. He then looked at the pile of books he hadn't read and stared at them for a while. He had stayed silent as he was sorting the books, speaking with a book in your mouth was rather hard afterall, but now turned to look at Twilight.
"I think I can't carry them all with me..." He took another look at the books including the one he had started reading earlier and let out a little sigh.
He then sorted the piles further, into ones concerning flying, weather and the fantasy books. He then went through each pile picking the two most interesting books of each pile. He piled those six books to the edge of the table and then looked at the rest of the books.
"I'm so tempted to take them all, but I'll just take these six for now." He said placing a hoof on the pile he had separated earlier.
"And if it's alright with you I'd like to finish the one I started already or do you have something planned, if so I can come back later..." He turned from the books to look at Twilight.
"You need help re-shelving the books?"

Twilight shook her head. "I know where the books go, and feel free to stay as long as you want, Fenris." She magic'd the books one by one their places. A minute or so later, the last book found its shelf. "There!" She said in with a smile of satisfaction.
She moved over towards Fenris feeling apprehensive. She was going to ask if it killed her, otherwise they would just sit there and nothing would happen. It was so much easier when she wasnt the asker... She knew he wanted to, so why was it still so hard to simply- "Fenris, would you want to maybe go out sometime?" Oh Celestia... Her heart froze as she awaited an answer.

Fenris observed Twilight as she re-shelved the books and felt a smile of his own forming in response to her smile. He looked as she approached him determined look on her face, wondering what she was thinking he stayed silent waiting for whatever she was going to say and when she asked the question he felt his heart instantly speed up.
"I... umm... I..." He stopped and took a few deep breaths calming himself down a bit.
He turned himself so that he was facing Twilight directly and looked straight at her eyes a warm smile spreading across his features.
"I would love to, Twilight Sparkle." He felt a slight blush on his face as he felt another shudder pass through his wings, causing them to visibly shift a bit before he managed to get them under control and he diverted his eyes from hers.

Twilight let out a sigh of relief. Not aloud, but in her mind. She grew a smile of her own from Fenris's response. She felt happy. Now she was one step closer to finding out which colt she liked the most. She thought about telling Fenris she wasn't just asking him, but Zathra as well, but was to caught up in the euphoria of it to keep her mind focused.
"Great!... So when and where do you want go?" She said. Her blush was crimson, but she fought on and kept eye contact. She realised she hadn't thought much farther than this, or at least if she had she was drawing a massive blank. Twilight hoped Fenris had an idea of where to go lest there be another awkward silence. Fighting a Dragon? Easy. Talking to colts? Not so much.

Fenris felt almost giddy with joy when he saw Twilight's smile. He had intended to ask her out, but it seemed that he wouldn't need to... When she asked her question he realised that even though he hadn't managed to ask her out, his plans were still valid.
"Well... there is one place I think would be nice. The view is wonderful and it is a bit secluded too." Fenris winked at Twilight with a mischievous grin on his face.
"Hmm..." He started tapping a hoof against his forehead.
"Well, I'm free tomorrow, would that be alright with you?" He had managed to take control of his wings, stopping the shifting, though the blush on his face remained.
