Theá's temper was flaring, but she managed to hold it in check thanks only to the calming presence of the water in front of her and the skittering of various critters in the area coming to watch when sensing her presence. 

She grit her teeth, lifting a hoof only to stomp down hard, creating a small crater. Her eyes had returned to normal after the first few minutes of sitting there, knowing full well what it made her look like. All of her siblings knew of Luna's descent into madness and the subsequent creation of Nightmare Moon, so if they feared that she was starting to turn Nightmare she wouldn't be surprised. Not that she had - Being the mistress of the Wilderness coupled with her shapeshifting abilities allowed her no small amount of appearances; the different eyes were simply one of those. 

A humourless smile found its way to her lips. Ponies. Herbivores. What better way to intimidate someone than give a pony one of the most terrifying parts of many carnivores? It sure had worked wonders in the past. 

She looked to the side and caught the eyes of a doe. It looked at her with its large beady eyes, never blinking, never moving. All it did was simply stare at her, watching the alicorn as she studied it. And even as she did so, she saw something in those big black eyes. She saw acceptance. The doe may have the instinct to keep living and flee if any danger were to present itself, but in those eyes she could see that whatever fate had in store for it, it would accept it. It knew it would die eventually, and it did nothing to deny that fact. 

"Guess I should just accept it, then, shouldn't I?" She didn't get an answer, of course, but neither had she expected one. 

She watched it for a few more moments before it turned its head towards some place in the sky and bolted off. When Theá turned to look she barely saw the projectile speeding towards her. Or rather, she did see it but she didn't much care to identify the identity of whoever it was seeing as how the water moving gave it away before she even had to think about it. 

Crashing crashed into the water, scaring any nearby animal into a mad dash away from there, and spraying water everywhere and would have soaked Theá had she not erected a flimsy barrier to repel it in time.

Her sour mood was made a little better from what Crashing said. [i]“Note ta self. That’s th’ last time I fly at that speed ever again.”[/i]

She let out a dry chuckle, and let the barrier fall. "Amateur," she muttered with half a smirk on her face.
