Torrential had to think about his answer before giving any advice that might shape how an organisation dealt with one or more of his kin. "I can't really give you a generalized guide on how to deal with alicorns since each and everyone one of us is as different as day is to night or night is to a disco dance hall or a duck wearing a hat. You would have to name an alicorn or at the least give a general description of what they look like and what they do before I could give you any advice on how to deal with them on a personal level."

"As for Arcon... Well, I know a fair bit about him since we have had quite the number of... well, I wouldn't say we argue since having an argument implies that someone is going to talk the other around to their point of view sooner or later. Arcon and I like to have outright shouting matches at each other that becomes a conversation if your fair enough away to make out the words we are screaming at each other. The best course of action I can offer you to prevent him from stealing everything you've worked so hard to collect and recreate would be to copy everything you get as quickly as possible than offer up the original to him as a 'tribute'. He is quite arrogant and having ponies pandering to his ego by offering their knowledge to him freely will most likely get him off your cases and will make it less likely that he will just ransack your vaults on a whim."

Torrential let out a small sigh, a clear look of distaste for the advice he gave. "It's not the best advice that has ever been given but its the only one that has any real chance of success. Any other course of action in regards to him... It's not so much a 'Does it have a chance of success?' situation as it is a 'Just how hard is he going to bitch slap us when it fails?' kind of deal." 

His explanation given, Torrential asked Star Dancer "So did you have any other alicorns you wanted to get some information on, or just any other questions in general?"
