Sweeper didn't take much notice of Thea's loving gesture. Instead she still embraced Amifera and waited for her answer. 

On the other hoof, Scroll paid close attention to the scene, rather struck by a number of feelings seeing Thea and Arcon again. Part of him was glad that peace was being attempted. But now that the surprise was gone, the Scholar felt a bit of envy towards the Gatekeeper. Thea eyed him first, long before Arcon had shown up. [i] Impressive [/i], she said to Scroll of his accomplishments. He gazed at the green alicorn, who was beautiful beyond any mortal. He began to wonder what her wings felt -

He shook his head a bit. The logical side was thinking: [i]What are you doing? Thea is attractive, but don't read too much in her words. They were complements, nothing more. And why am I jealous in the first place? Her previous actions were clearly some sort of joke… I hope.[/i] 

Scroll did not realize what passions were stirred by The Lady of the Hunt. 

Something soft was wrapped around the earth pony's body, soft and feathery. Scroll felt warmth to his left as the body of another pony made contact. He turned to his side and saw Winterjet's eyes staring right into his own. Her azure eyes twinkled, and cold sliver mane seemed to to float in the breeze. The snowy pegasus was grinning, like a cat ready to pounce at a playmate.

The Scholar didn't say anything for what seemed like forever. He certainly began to blush, wondering what he should do. What did she want? Should he pull back? Should he kiss her? Romance wasn't his strong suit, as a sting of failed relationships had shown. Scroll then gulped, realizing with some shock that he was still wearing bedsheets as an outfit. [i] Hopefully, she doesn't notice and note the connotations, [/i] thought the bewildered Scholar. 

He decided to wait until Winterjet made the next move.
