 He seemed to pout, he wasn't quite what he was before. He sighed as he remembered the curse that would befall him now. He coughed, and looked around, "SERAPHIM, you fiend, g-get out here..." ... you owe me.
"Ahem... ahem... please." He said, almost biting his tongue.

Letho stared in half amazement half amusement. Hadn't he said he hated Seraphim? But he would call him out for her?
She was beside herself, not knowing what to do; She had been serious but she hadn't thought that he would take her seriously.
She wasn't sure Seraphim would come, but she looked around, back and forth, just in case.

 The signature loud bang that accompanied Seraphim's appearance sounded and echo'd through the empty field. It was dark, but Seraphim seemed to give off a heavenly glow so that every feature on his body was clearly visible.
"Ahem." Seraphim started, he stared right at Nightshade's Fury, a wide grin on his face, "So it was you who called me."
He wouldn't have noticed Letho if she hadn't been frantically looking back and forth the moment he appeared, he was too amused by being called out by somebody that claimed to hate him.
When he realised what this was about his muzzle opened in a silent "Oh."
"I suppose it's a blessing you want?" he smirked, "Sure, who am I to deny you children? Even if they will be just like you." he said the last bit sarcastically. Nightshade's Fury and the two created from nearby space were some of his favourite creations, even if this one was thankless.

"Yeah, unfortunately I have to see your ugly face again." He mumbled. "I-I..." He growled, there was no way he could be nice to this, this... thing! He would have preferred another manner, but sure, Seraphim was probably pissing himself laughing!
"Yes, this fine doe suggested..." He looked away from Seraphim and stood up, kicking his hooves into the ground again. "Wipe that smirk off your face already," he grumbled.

As most ponies do when they see Seraphim, Letho couldn't help but stare. At least until she heard Nightshade's Fury's awkward speaking. It seemed rather strange for him to be stuttering and grumbling like he was, but she said nothing.
She nodded in agreement at Seraphim. "I know that it could be done without you, but..." she trailed off; It wasn't like Seraphim needed to be told things he already knew.
"Please." she finished, looking back and forth between Nightshade's Fury and Seraphim.

The smirk turned into a self-satisfied grin and Seraphim shrugged. "What can I say? I know and love every one of my children." he motioned towards Letho with a nod of his head, "This one is special to me, though. The only inanimate brought to life." he said, keeping his eyes on Nightshade's Fury.
"But," he laughed, "like I said. I won't deny you."
So he took a breath and blew, and as he did, a sparkling dust gathered in the air where he blew. Like the first instance of the dust- that time from an orb- it moved of its own accord. It split into two clouds and each cloud circled one of the two ponies, until every last speck of dust landed and disappeared.
"My work here is done." he announced, throwing his head back so his mane was less in his eyes. He didn't give either pony time to react, a loud bang signaled his departure and he was simply no longer there.

Forbid a woman ever love you, he thought angrily.
He looked at Letho and his unpleasant-Seraphim-caused face disappeared. "Are you happy?"

Letho was sort of confused by the interaction that had occured. Even more so by Seraphim calling her special to him. She had always thought that Seraphim loved each of his children equally.
Regardless, Letho looked up at Nightshade's Fury and was about to answer when something tickled her nose, "Ah... Chu!"
The dust, though it couldn't really be felt, made her sneeze. Psychological thing apparently. She let out a little squeak after she sneezed and then nodded.
"Happy enough." she said with a sweet giggle.

A delicate chiming sound cound be heard throughout the entire field, similar to the noise that empty wine glasses make when clinked together.
As if in reply to Letho's happiness, six shimmering orbs appeared in the space between Letho and Nightshade's Fury, wiggling as if life were contained within.

Nightshade's Fury sort of looked around, opened his eyes for the first time fully to look at the orbs and then quickly shut them. Then he looked over to Letho, staring for a good while.
"Oh, I suppose I can't eat these," he joked with his fox grin.

Letho scoffed, but the sound wasn't intended to sound mean.
She took a step toward the glowing, floating orbs and stared. They were... What was this? She circled the orbs a couple times and stopped in front of Nightshade's Fury.
"I thought Seraphim made ponies... Not... Are they eggs?" she asked softly, tilting her head this way and that to get a good look.
Suddenly one of the dark-coloured orbs wiggled much more than before and bumped her in the nose.
She let out a startled squeak and jumped backwards, bumping into her shadow which startled her again, causing her to belt out a whinny. Her eyes widened and she blushed deeply, ever thankful for the dark night sky.

"That's what they are, in a matter of speaking," he murmured, brushing his muzzle against an orb. It moved and seemed to glow happily from its father's touch. Nightshade's Fury softly returned Letho's accidental touch with his intentional brush of his tail.

Letho squirmed a little from his tail, but took the step back towards the orbs, she eyed the blue and green one that had bumped her wearily but stood her ground.
The orbs seemed to move as the two of them moved, but still...
"Hmm..." Letho looked around, she looked at Nightshade's Fury and then at herself. She used her muzzle to pull off the long, green sash that wrapped around her body.
"That will do." she mumbled to herself.
She tossed the sash over the orbs and giggled at the way the squirmed beneath the fabric. She pulled the two ends together and tied it in a crude bow as best she could using only her muzzle, and then tugged gently on it, pulling the orbs closer.
Letho was not about to take any chances. She would probably be an over protective mother but she really had always wanted lots of babies. She had heard about human babies, but never had she heard about ponies in this land having them. It was all so strange to her, anyway.
"Where... do we take them?" she asked softly, peering around.

Nightshade's Fury narrowed his eyes gently on Letho while she untugged the sash. A pleasant sight, he still wanted babies the old fashioned way, but this would work for now! He looked around for a moment, and then back to her with a grin.
"We'll go back to my box," he suggested. "It is safe, no one would dare approach and we can let them roll around in the hay, or something..."

Letho's muzzle wrinkled. "You were serious? About your box."
She shook her head, giggling. "I did not know." she whispered.
"We should go see it. Though I do much prefer an open pasture..." Her voice trailed off as she said the last so that it had been barely audible.
