"That's... interesting," Winterjet muttered in a tone of slight confusion. "Never would've thought a god, of all ponies, would actually, well, become friends with us... mortals. I mean, they're immortal and will continue living until the end of time, so... I've lost many friends throughout the years, and it hurts each time. To endure so much loss." She shook her head. "It can only hurt. Maybe that's why Theá seems so distant." She cast a look over her shoulder, watching Theá for just a second before catching the eyes of Arcon. She felt a chill going down her spine; she felt small, insignificant. Where Theá had at least seemed approachable this one felt as if he stripped away any self-confidence she might have had and bared her soul and thoughts for the world to see. She gulped and looked down, missing when his gaze swept to focus solely on Bright Scroll. 

Despite how she felt so small next to this... giant, she couldn't help but feel something flare up inside her at what he said. She'd met enough liars and wanna-be nobles or big-shots in her travels that she could easily tell when someone was speaking their true thoughts or simply trying to act kind when, in fact, they thought the exact opposte. This Arcon... He didn't so much as try to hide his demeaning, almost insulting, tone. Trained to hear veiled insults or not, no pony could have missed the disapproval and sarcasm. 

[i]But even if I wanted to say something, I can't. From the way he's acting I wouldn't be surprised if wanted to 'punish' me for speaking up against him, and I haven't been with Theá for long enough for me to expect her to come to my aid. And even if she would help me there's still the chance that she agrees with him and would do nothing to stop him because of 'insubordination'. Tsk.[/i] She grit her teeth, feeling one of her new fangs draw blood from her gums, but she did nothing to stop it. Right now she needed to stay calm. Looking down also meant that she missed the frown that flashed across Theá's face for but a second before it disappeared just as quickly as it had come. 

"You okay?" She whispered once Arcon's attention had turned towards Silver Sweeper again, away from the two of them-something for which she was grateful. She just hoped he didn't have as good hearing as she knew Theá probably had. "He seemed rather... rough?" 

"T'is no reason to thank me, Sister. It is not right for me to hold a grudge when there was no intention of causing offense... And yes, vile and repulsive things, indeed," said Theá, nodding her head once in agreement. "And I'm glad you approve. I must be honest, however, and say that I had expected you to chastise me above all else. Perhaps our Sword-happy sister would as well seeing as this wasn't the most efficient way of handling the situation, if you will." She chuckled a little, a faint smile breaking through her otherwise almost stony façade, as he mentioned their Mother. While she may seem more jovial at the moment, she had to admit to herself that it was more her trying to let go of the lingering hurt she felt from Sweeper's perceived insults. Didn't mean it wasn't genuine, though. "You may be right. Though I do not remember her ever, what do they call it? 'Kissing my boo-boo', I believe?" Her smile broke out into a lopsided grin for just a few moments before she composed herself again. 

"And you are forgiven, Dear Brother. I have eyes and ears all over, so I have managed to get the gist of your going-ons, although I must admit that you are more difficult to keep an eye out on than the others. Those barriers of thine; impressive, and most annoying." His comment about her rabbit brought forth another smile, this one a bit more teasing than the last. "Cute? Why, Brother, you should have but told me earlier. I would gladly send you more should you so desire." Her smile only widened as he continued speaking, apparently inviting her into his home, or whatever he wished to call his fortress. She simply nodded, choosing to wait until he had finished speaking before she acted. [i]He always was a bit of a prude, and easy to tease. Oh, this is going to be fun,[/i] she thought, trying not to grin too widely as she stepped closer to him. 

"You're inviting me into your home?" She asked innocently, raising an eyebrow. "Are you sure that watching those stained glass windows aren't just an excuse?" She stepped up beside him, unfurling a wing and letting the tip of it graze along his neck slowly. "Last I checked you hadn't had company in a while... could it be that my dear brother is longing for a little feminine company, perhaps?" Her wing moved from only his neck to trailing slowly across his back-between where his wings connected to his body and down to his lower back then up again. She leaned in and gently nuzzled his neck with he eyes closed. 

"I think it's just an excuse to get to, ah, know me better?" 

It was all Winterjet could do to keep herself from letting her jaw drop to the floor. Where moments earlier Theá had been stern and the textbook version of stoicism, and Arcon the textbook version of asshole, in her opinion, Theá was now what she could only describe as a temptress, perhaps even seductress. "She is [i]good![/i]" Winterjet muttered under her breath, too silently for anything, perhaps save Theá, to notice. Even from the sidelines the pegasus felt her chest tighten and her cheeks burn as a blush found its way to her face. 

[i]Only a matter of time now,[/i] Theá thought as she briefly flicked the tip of her tail across Arcon's cutie mark. [i]I wonder how he'll react to this, though.[/i] She smirked and opened her eyes, giving him her best half-lidded gaze she could, and siddled up beside him and brought him into a one-sided wing-hug; the entirety of her right wing wrapping around him and holding him pressed against her side as she continued to just look at him with that seductive smile and half-lidded gaze. 

She leaned in briefly, nuzzling him beneath his chin before drawing away and whispering into his ear. "You still sure it was only to show me those windows, hmm?" 

[quote]Sorry to Sweeper, Winterjet, Bright Scroll for having to witness that. [i]Not[/i] sorry to Arcon because I enjoyed this way too much and he knew it would happen if he asked to be alone with someone whom he knew would try to seduce anyone and anybody that asked to be alone with her.[/quote]
