"Ehhh…" She says, starting to float off a little. I'm good thanks."
"Bed time, Pip." Joyride says, pointing to the book on the chair.
"Aww…" the demon says, resigned. Joyride closes the book and reattaches the locks. She then slips the book into her mantle.
Ruby asks where the extra pillows and blankets and stuff are, and Joyride points her to a closet. It's at this point Emerald asks if he could have some of those "pointers" that Joyride spoke about earlier.
Joyride looks up at him with her usual grin and says, "Oh~? Well, as your teacher I'm sure I could oblige. Come up to my bed after we get Ruby all settled in.
Emerald enthusiastically gets the sheets and blankets onto the couches in the "living room" of the house. He sees Joyride give him a coy smile and then climb the ladder up to her bed.
The colt waits until he starts to hear snoring coming from the couch Ruby is sleeping on, and then sneaks up the ladder.
The whole top of the dome-like house is almost entirely filled with a giant crimson bed. Only a small wardrobe, a nightstand, and a candle have been crammed into the room.
Joyride, who apparently been reading a book, spots Emerald as he heaves himself up over the top of the ladder. She tosses the tome aside and says, "Welp, get over here lil' perv."
