Izusa brought the tip of her tail to her mouth, tasting his blood as she looked at him through slitted eyes. Wounding him had caused a pang in her own heart and she slotted the visual image of catching him en flagrante in order to keep the fire burning and not to relent.
'No..you dont get to turn this on me! You want to make others the same as me, want to see whether you can plant more gardens.' she growled.
'And where does that leave me if you do! The one walking away..'
The one he had not saved, she would get her yet, the thought of the mares blood nourishing her foals gave her a shiver of pleasure and she was momentarily sidetracked.
'I was looking for you.' she said coldly.
'Our foals have not moved inside me at all today. But do not let me get between you and your pleasures when the little lives might be in trouble.' she snapped her wings against herself and slowly moved away, bristling with fury.

"It leaves you where you are, Chica. Regardless of how many foals I father, I will not abandon any of them."
Now he was just annoyed. He had NOT done anything wrong, he had no reason to be ashamed, and every reason to be upset. His one brief interlude with Luca would tide him over for a bit, but since Izusa's arrival had denied him anything beyond the bare minimum he knew he'd have to go hunting again before too many more days had passed; and the idea of Izusa interrupting him AGAIN with threats of bloodshed was far from pleasant.
"Besides that, I have known Luca Chica far longer than I have known you, Izusa Chica, and in case you couldn't tell, she has no foals. If anything, she should be the one mad at you, but she wasn't!"
And now she was walking away. First she interrupts him and threatens him, then she walks away? Oh no, not this time.
Scowling, he stalked after the mare, rapidly closing the distance and cutting her off. "Izusa-"
Then, sighing, he cut himself off. She was worried, with good reason; why SHOULDN'T she try to find him in this sort of situation? She had definitley reacted badly, but she WAS hormonal and on edge. That in mind, he managed to brighten both his face and tone before trying again.
"I am sorry I wasn't around when you were looking for me, Izusa-Chica, but I am confused about the problem. The foals are supposed to move?" He didn't know that. He thought they just...grew.

'That is because she knew she was wrong, whereas you have not that understanding.'
Izusa looked up as Guilian cut before her and scowled.
'What? What do you want now? Have you not hurt me enough for the night? Roses pricks at me with his thorns..wants me to bleed, bleed it all.'
She stared at him as if he had asked if the trees were meant to be the way up they were or if blue was the right colour for the sky!
'Yes..' she hissed through extremely gritted teeth, her tail lashing like a cat. She held it down, trying to refrain from striking him again.
'They have been moving for days on end. Every day since they started making themselves known. But they stopped - and I am worried. This is my first time. Yzma, my familiar, she looks after me. She said I should relax and try not to get upset about anything.' she looked away from Guilian.

Not get upset about things. Right. And while she was at it, she should metamorphosize into a cute bunny rabbit. Not get upset indeed; whoever that Yzma was, it was a foolish individual.
Still, the news that something was wrong was disconcerting to the stallion, and could plausibly justify his new testiness as he replied to the mare. "Well, if it's your first time it's also mine, Chica, and I can't say I'm exactly familiar with how things are supposed to be." As he spoke, he had moved to rest his cheek against Izusa's stomach, frowning a bit in concentration as he tried to feel movement. Had their been movement LAST time?

Izusa stepped to the side when he rested his head on her belly. It was too much, too tender an expression after what she had seen, how he had acted after she had caught him.
'They should move.' she reinforced in an icy tone.
'If you dont give a damn about my feelings, at least about your children. You hurt me, you affect them.'
She stepped away again. What she was; the anger came naturally. What he was...she had compared him to a Kalona once, and once more she felt the comparison wasnt far off the mark. She needed to leave - she felt exposed, and scared.

So much for him trying to be nice. A brief look of offense flashed past Guilian's eyes, then he was sighing and once again moving past the mare. "You assume too much, Chica; just because I fail to embrace your idealized path doesn't mean I don't care. I care about both you AND my foals, which is why I devoutly wish you'd stop trying to assume otherwise!"
Children were a headache, alright; and some people actually WANTED them! That was what most baffled Guilian, at least lately. "I am concerned. I want you all to be healthy. That doesn't mean I know what's right for them, or for you at this point, or that I do anything for the sole purpose of spiting you. Just the opposite, in fact."
It was quick simple, honestly. When he was denied his pleasure, he got increasingly short-tempered and unpleasant, to say nothing of tense and frustrated. Not a good state to be in, especially not for one as (usually) good natured as he!

'What you express towards me even now doesnt invoke feelings of compassion. In any way.' Izusa bared her teeth. If he stopped her from leaving again..well she wasnt sure she could restrain herself from attacking him.
'Then stop. I've told you what hurts me. I've told you again and again. I am carrying your children for Kalona's sake. Concede, for at least little while for my health, as much as theirs..' she was frustrated that she'd pleaded to him but she needed to leave and he wasnt letting her.

There was just no reasoning with a pregnant mare! No matter HOW logically you explained yourself, you always were made out to be the problem. If THAT wasn't a frustrating state of affairs, then he frankly had no idea what one would be.
"To say such things are a trial is an understatement indeed, Chica." And as he spoke, his voice all but dripped with sarcasm. "However, I will do what I can."
And coming from him, that was really saying something. However, he wasn't in any mood now to quibble about what he meant specifically, so rather than push it any more he gave Izusa a slight bow. "And now I shall take my leave, Chica; if it is rest you need, I doubt my continued prescnece would be any help."
With that, he bowed once more, then stalked off.
