Just when you thought you had someone figured out, they went and threw you a curveball. Even though he hadn't been doing anything wrong, Guilian could tell that Izusa was annoyed with him. Nothing new there. But for her to be annoyed at him and not DO anything about it? Oy, he was NEVER going to get anyone pregnant ever again ><
At least, if he could possibly help it. Short of the obvious and unpleasant way.
As Izusa moved off, Guilian sighed and ran a wing over his face. So the birth was imminant, was it? Well, that meant a few things, honestly, and hopefully they'd be mostly good. Maybe Izusa's mood swings would dissipate with the birthing, but until then...
Shaking his head, he gave Echo a wry smile. "Now the fun begins, Chica. Izusa-Chica already wants to kill me for getting her in this state at all, so I am faced with two options. Option one, I go and keep her company while she gives birth; I have no experience with that and could be of no use, yet I am also told that mares in labor can be quite hostile and Izusa-Chica already wants to kill me, thus going to her would put my life in danger; on the other hand, I could just leave her to the ministrations of her much more experienced Yzma, whoever that is..."
Honestly, the second option sounded a LOT nicer to him.
Glancing back at Echo, he sighed again. "A word of advice, Chica; never, if you can help it, conceive foals with one that is neither your mate nor your intended life partner. It just makes things complicated." To put it mildly!

Echo's gaze turned on Guilian, and it was baleful. "Guilian company Izusa." she said firmly. At least, that was her opinion. That and... If she comes after you, run. She is fat right now, and the worst you can do is piss her off more... It's not like she'd be able to catch you in that condition.
But alas, lack of words made it hard to be opinionated.
And really, she was glad the poor creature had come along when she had. After all, Echo had just started thinking he was a nice guy! What if she had ended up like that...? Fat and angry... Not a mix the mare thought would be pleasant, at all.
Ah well, she wasn't the mare who had gotten pregnant, and she wasn't the stallion who had gotten her so, so it wasn't her place to judge. And Guilian had been nice enough to offer her a warm wing, so she couldn't send him off to death....

...Maybe it would have been better to have been caught by Izusa in a TRULY compromising position after all. Judging by the look Echo was now giving him, she seemed to have firmly thrown her sympathies in with Izusa. Amazing, even after the kalona mare had given her a look cold enough to freeze a volcano and hostile enough to throw a skinwalker. Amazing.
Still, he wasn't about to alienate her completely. Izusa's arrival had likely wounded his chances with Echo drastically, but nothing was permanent unless he made it that way himself. Consequently, he merely shrugged in response to the mare's words. "We shall see, Chica. Izusa has likely informed me so that I might know what's going on, not so that I might actually be around. Those or her race would hardly wish to be seen in a state of vulnerability. But I shall be around..."
Which would be hard enough, really >>

"Izusa in state of foals." she said, observantly. "Guilian... be around Izusa." she looked at him. "Echo is not... waterlogged. Guilian charity...mmmm..... no charity." she smiled. "Izusa need Guilian soon?" she really didn't want to chase him off, but it was very important she stress how strongly she felt about male + female + birth = good, healthy babies. Because mother + babies could = complications. And as bad as she was at math, that didn't equal up to anything good.
But enough pushing. He would go when he was ready. Instead, she curled up around herself in the shade and sighed happily. It was no longer freezing... it almost felt good outside!

"Subtle you are not, Chica." Still, Guilian was smiling regardless; it was cute to see such selflessness and cameraderie amongst mares. Now, if he could only get some of that working on his favor...
He could take a hint, though. Sweeping the mare a wide bow, he tossed a single black rose her way as he straightened up. "Well, off I go to see what's what; it's been a pleasure, Chica, and hopefully we will someday meet again...when I don't have other obligations on my hooves."
With that and a wink, he was moving off in the direction Izusa had gone, a saunter in his steps.
