Spirit Sprite blinks, then nods, hearing the disdain in the other's voice. "Yes. She cared for me since before I came out of my basket into the world. Tania's like a sister to me. They've both protected me and kept me alive since nobody else wanted me. My mother stood up to a... stallion... who was intent on crushing me as a foal." Bringing up that particular memory made Spirit Sprite shudder and watch the Angeni much more carefully. Granted, he wasn't a foal anymore, but the other was still much larger than him. My name is Key. I am a key. And could you perhaps be... My keyhole?

He sneered, taking a stepback, tail swishing in irritation. "She is not your mother. She is a lowly two-legger, the sort that wishes to tame our kind and make them their slaves. We are superior to two-leggers and only the truly weak would think otherwise." He looked down his long nose at the brown stallion. "I doubt you could survive without your mother."

Spirit Sprite flinches at the others harsh words, visibly cringing from the other. "I've left many times since becoming an adult. Whether she's with me or not doesn't mean any difference. I can survive with her and she doesn't make me do anything. I don't know what you mean by slave... She carries all her own stuff and simply feeds me and takes care of me when I'm around her house." He fidgets more, almost stepping on Tania in the process. Tania snarls at Auster and scurries out from under Spirit Sprite, fur on end. "Lookie hear, feather head... Just because you survived out in the 'big, bad world' all by yourself doesn't mean Spirit Sprite can't either. He's left his two-legged 'mother' alone for months at a time. He just wanders. With me WITH him. Quit looking down on all humans. They aren't all out to turn others into their slaves." My name is Key. I am a key. And could you perhaps be... My keyhole?

He rolled his eyes at Tania. "And yet he always returns." His ear flicked and he turned his head, gazing around the field, before returning his focus to Spirit Sprite. "What would you do if something were to happen to her? Wander aimlessly, mourning? She has made a pet of you. Two-leggers should be avoided, especially the ones that wish to coddle you." He shook his head, long black mane flying around him then snorted loudly at the other to see his reaction. "You're as timid as a mouse, and that can only be blamed on the fact you've had a two-legger take care of you your entire life. It's a shame, really."

Spirit Sprite felt anger for the first time in his life at the other's words. "I am no pet. I have gone months without being around her, but then again, I wasn't around anyone else either, except for Tania." He stomps a forehoof, expressing this first felt emotion of anger. Having never felt anger in his life until now, he knew of no way to express it other than with body language and words. "I don't want to hear another bad thing about my adopted mother. If it weren't for her, I would most likely not have lived to adulthood." My name is Key. I am a key. And could you perhaps be... My keyhole?

This new reaction amused him. Perhaps he could not write the other off just yet.
"Oh? Is that so? Then perhaps you should not have lived to adulthood if you couldn't take care of yourself. I certainly did not need a two-legger to save myself, and I certainly do not need one now." He was pushing the smaller stallion to see how he would react.

Spirit Sprite glares up at the bigger stallion in anger, ears flat against his head, eyes narrowed. "Perhaps the reason you needed no help is because you have an advantage over those of us who are ground-bound and can't fly away to escape our problems. I bet you think you're pretty smart, and that you don't need to depend on ANYONE, don't you? One of these days, you'll run into something that will make you need someone, and because of how you treated something or someone, it won't be there. And now I'm NOT sorry I chewed on your hair. I wish I'd have ripped a huge chunk out of it!" He stomps again, barely missing Tania in the process. Tania, however, merely looks up at Spirit Sprite in surprise. She had NEVER seen him act this way towards anyone! He was normally such a kind and gentle creature and yes, timid and quite the scaredy cat, but this new Spirit Sprite made her afraid. She dodges as he stomps again, skittering out to stand beside the cookie colored stallion rather than underneath him. My name is Key. I am a key. And could you perhaps be... My keyhole?
