"Wilbur?" Gaius snorted, nostrils flaring. "What the hell are you talking about? And hey, you were the one yelling at me when all I did was say hello!" he growled as he got to his feet, meeting Freddie glare for glare. "All I wanted was an explanation why you're so angry!"

"I don't gotta tell you a damn thing!" Freddie said, getting right in Gaius's face. He tried not to look pleased, but in any case he looked just a little less angry. His lip curled into a sneer, prominently displaying a piece of food between his teeth. "Now, if I give ya a carrot will ya stop askin'?"

"Fine, don't tell me, then! See if I act friendly after you start changing! And what the hell about carrots?" Gaius growled, wondering what Freddie was trying to get at. If he was trying to insult him, it was either going over his head or missing its mark. "So what if I want a salad, I can eat any damned steak I want to! Bloody herbivore or not!"

"What the... I..." Freddie came up blank when it came to responding to Gaius's last retort. It bought him enough time to think of a new equine insult, at least. "Who cares! I don't need yer sympathy anyway, Seabiscuit!"

Gaius shut his mouth and glared. He didn't know WHAT Freddie was implying, but he'd had enough of it.
"Fine. That's it." Picking up his plate, Gaius turned to walk out of the caf, fed up with the present company. "I'm out of here."

"Aw, c'mon!" Freddie called after him. "What are ya, chicken?"

The pointy-eared man flinched visibly as the insult struck a sensitive nerve. Halting in his tracks, Gaius glared back over his shoulder, all too self-conscious of the appendages hidden under his shirt. "I'm not a chicken."

"My mistake then," Freddie said. "I meant yer a p***y."

Gaius rolled his eyes and turned away again, lifting a hand in a careless wave over his shoulder. "Whatever. Enjoy your stupid meal."

Freddie gaped. He should have hit him while he had the chance. He really needed to revise that rule... there were already several revisions concerning anyone smaller than him as it was.
"You goddamn coward!" he yelled.

Gaius stopped again, hackles rising, but he clamped his teeth. No, he wouldn't give in. He was better than that.
Visibly seething, he started his determined walk to the doors, clenching the flimsy plate in his hands.
"Stupid jerk-face..." he muttered.

Freddie laughed and starting walking after him. "That's it, ain't it? You can't fight, can ya? Cause yer afraid? That's real sad, being a skinny li'l f** on the inside. You poor li'l pony."
He was overdoing it, even he knew that, but it was simply unconceivable to him that somebody with muscles wouldn't want to use them. He was getting very close to jumping him himself, he just had to catch up first.

If Gaius could have clamped his ears, he would have, but Freddie's insults rang all too clear in them. Coward coward coward. He was a coward. He didn't stop Annie, he let Fiona die. But rather than raise his anger, they kicked his mind into the realm of depression. What good was he anyway?
His long strides slowed, distracted by his thoughts. He placed a hand on the caf door to open it, but stopped, clenching it into a fist as he tried to fight off the guilt. It wasn't his fault, he wasn't a coward. It all happened too soon, that was all. It was the fault of the labs.
Freddie's approach couldn't have been farther from Gaius' awareness.

"C'mon, let's go..." Freddie said, finally opting to just make his intentions clear. He stopped a few feet away from Gaius, gesturing with both hands that he try and hit him. "Quick, 'fore you change and turn pink- with li'l hearts on yer a**."
How or why Freddie knew anything about My Little Pony was a question better left unanswered.

Gaius shot him a dark look. "What's your problem? First you don't want me to even look at you, and now you want to fight? You have brain damage or something?"
He shoved the door open and headed outside. "It'd probably serve you right if you were a subject!" he snapped, knowing he'd probably feel guilty for it later, but it felt good to say it now.
