If Izusa could tear the eyes from her head she thought that she would. For they only ever seemed to cause her painful stress lately. Tight breath inwards..or maybe it was the extra weight she was carrying? It seemed to have grown these past days, her appetite growing, the belly swinging lower.
As she meandered along, she'd seen first the flash of crimson, then his scent followed closely. And then she registered the two..the second scent - yet another damn female! Her wings shook as she tried to suppress her anger; she didnt really want to get overheated once more, Yzma had said there was a chance that it would send her into early labour.
She bit her lower lip, piercing the skin until it bleed and moved with firm steps, out and round in front of the cuddling pair, only looking up when she was facing them, sending a cold look to both of them, her gaze locking onto Guilian.

Echo leaned into him gratefully, teeth chattering together. "Guilian help." she muttered, and gave him a faint smile. Ugg, she really didn't know whether to be grateful to him or not. He'd both brought her conversation, and he'd also, however accidentally, been the instrument of her current discomfort.
The scent of another made her head go up, nostrils flaring, pulling in the scent, a mere moment before the other female stepped out in front of them. She smelled blood. Danger. As the female stepped into sight, she blinked. It was a beautiful mare, but she had the teeth of a predator, and strong wings like those of a bat. And her tail was very eerie, and....
Okay, Echo was creeped out.
And with the way she was looking at Guilian, Echo decided it might be in her best interests to step away from him.

Even if he HADN'T noticed Izusa's arrival (which would have, frankly, been impossible), there was no way he would have missed Echo moving away. Probably a smart move on her part...
Unlike the last time he'd encountered Izusa while in the prescence of another, there wasn't anything remotely compromising about his current state. Naturally, it was a little depressing that he hadn't been able to lay a bit more groundwork, but all things condsidered this had been a successful meeting.
Consequently, there wasn't even a hint of petulance or annoyance in the stallion's expression as he greeted the new arrival. "Good afternoon, Izusa-Chica. I see that the foals aren't giving you much trouble today, for you are out and walking about. Are you feeling well? Do you need something?"
However, THIS time he wasn't going to help create any impressions. Glancing at Echo, he gestured neatly at Izusa. "Echo-chica, this is Izusa; Izusa-Chica, this is Echo. She's a bit waterlogged and chilled from drowsing under a rock in the water, so I kindly offered her my wing to dry off with. Echo, Izusa-chica is, as you can likely tell, carrying foals. My foals, specifically."
There! A nice intro all around.

Izusa licked the blood away, the coppery taste lingering on her tongue for a moment. She eyed him severely before looking at the limp looking mare at his side. What was his fascination with mares that looked like primped-up show offs? Another one with curled mane and tail.
'She has her own wings.' she commented in a dry voice.
'And she doesnt look like a helpless foal - although appearances are often very decieving.'
She had managed to keep her voice deceptively level, Guilian would been thrown she knew.
'My foals are fine.' she replied, still cast icy glances at the mare.
'It is soon.' she winced, as the once more active foals moved around energetically.

Echo's eyes lit up with understanding, and she couldn't stop the accusing look she gave Guilian. Really, leaving his mate all alone to go put FLOWERS in his mane, and then being so very kind and generous as to stay and give her company... no wonder the other mare was upset. "Guilian and Izusa babies?" She smiled. Congratulations, she'd say, if she could. But right now the mare looked to be in almost pain. "Echo has own wings, yes. Echo cold, Echo waterlogged. Guilian help warm up." she shivered again, to make her point.
As Izusa winced, Echo instinctively took a step forward, but danced back, also by instinct, not to get close to this mare with the perfect teeth to bite and cause much pain. "Izusa un-fine. Babies bite?" Or maybe the babies were waterlogged too, from being inside their mother.

"Her wings are wet as well, Izusa-Chica, so they are hardly suited to keep warm with. And yes, Echo-Chica, they are our babies."
Obvious questions aside, Guilian was actually a bit surprised at how this was working out. Izusa was shooting looks venomous enough to stun a buffalo, true; but considering the violence she'd exhibited last time, he couldn't believe she was being so...restrained.
Maybe all that he'd been saying had FINALLY sunk in.
And speaking of sinking in...
"Soon? You mean the birth, Chica?" How soon was 'soon', anyway?

'Izusa is carrying 3 heavy foals.' she said, speaking for the simpleton mare, well she took her for being so given how she was currently speaking.
'They kick my insides. And then I find their father with another mare.' she snorted loudly, still showing considerable restraint. Or was there something else? A flood of hormones...
'Yes,' she replied to Guilian, her tail twitching a little.
'Days..hours even. I thought you would want to know.' her voice was heavily peppered with sarcasm.
'I'll leave you to your...little acts of charity.'
She turned on her hooves.

Three? Echo made a face. How was the mare not popped? Goodness gracious, should she even be walking around? She remained silent and in place, watching the mare turn with naught but a dip of her head as a goodbye. The mare was expecting to drop foals in mere hours, would she not need their father by her side? Why was she leaving him?
Echo certainly wouldn't be that generous.
But this also wasn't about her, and so she remained quiet, tail twitching uncomfortably.

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!
