Torrential seemed quite content and a little excited to have somepony traveling with him for once; It was a nice change of pace from merely meeting ponies in passing. As he listened to Star Dancer explain what her organization was about and what they did, he couldn't help but smile warmly at her with a small sense of pride towards the mortals of the world for putting aside their differences in the face of adversity and preparing themselves for the process of rebirth and rebuilding that always came after even the worst of horrible disasters. If his sister hadn't already called 'dibs' on them, Torrential would have loved to have given them his seal of approval. Thinking about it, there was a very real chance that Silver used that exact wording when giving ponies her blessing. The idea of his sister placing her hoof on the foreheads of random ponies and just shouting 'Dibs!' as a sign that she was granting them her boom caused him to chuckle to himself... he would have been laughing outright but it most likely would have freaked his new found companion out. Bringing his laughter under control, he simply said "Sorry, thinking of Silver Sweeper tends to make me laugh. She's as nutty as a fruit cake but if you spend time with her you'll find something to laugh at sooner rather than later. Sorry to interrupt. Please continue."

It was only when the tale came to an end that Torrential started to look thoughtful. There were many things he could say on the matter of what the future would most likely hold between Arcon and the Scholars and odds were good that he would cover them with Star Dancer sooner or later, but as he walked down the road by her side he considered the simplest way to get the message across so she could share it with others of her order with ease. After some thought, he clicked his tongue as he had his answer. 

"You should be very careful when dealing with Arcon in any way. He is the kind of pony that would save a book of magic from a fire over the pony who wrote it in less then a heartbeat. For all intents and purposes, consider him one of the more indifferent dragons; He will selfishly horde whatever knowledge or items he gathers in his horde with no intention of sharing it with anyone he deems beneath him. He might give any pony that jumps through his hoops and pays his heavy prices some of the scraps of his horde but any deals made with him will be on his terms and his terms only. If you have anything that interests him, be it item or pony for whatever reason he would be more likely to steal them away like a common thief rather then deal with those he deems beneath him. There is very little you can really do to stop him from doing it either; the best you can hope for is to make as many copies of a given item as possible and start spreading them around before he figures out you have it. If you're lucky, he will only take one for his collection... Most likely the original."

Turning towards Star Dancer, Torrential asked "Does that give you the idea of what kind of alicorn Arcon is?"
