Kinda a sequel of sorts to [this](https://www.deviantart.com/thecrimsonspark/art/merry-cribmas-901669138). Kinda wanted to make it as a Christmas gift to TheCrimsonSpark , but I only had a day left to attempt that, so I just pulled a cheapskate move and did it for his birthday instead, lol.

I get the feeling that Ace, being from a previous historical era, picks up small things here and there from her peers. Without clear communication amongst them, this could enable her to occasionally troll them should she feel so inclined. Like here. Sun Tzu says "all warfare is based on deception" after all. :) . Oh, if this is ludicrously out of character for either of them… I'll just blame the eggnog. XD

Yeah, so my first time drawing pones smooching, and probably my last, lol. The sheer amount of trial and error I did just so Desert's head didn't look like that a deformed crocodile was intense, oof. Hope it's not horrendous as is.
