 She was thrilled to be an aunt, though at the same time she felt too young to be an aunt. She was just grown but at the same time that meant foals closer to her age to be around. Not that her brother was boring or "old", she just wanted some others her her own age. Tossing her head to remove her mane from her face she pranced through the nearby woods towards a meadow she knew was nearby. She wasn't entirely sure what she was looking for, she just wanted to get out and clear her head. It was so much to take in all of a sudden it seemed, one day it was just her and her brother and now it was her brother and three foals! Shifting her wings and emerging from the woods into the meadow, the sunlight causing her to shield her face for a moment as she paused to get a good assessment of her surroundings. WC: 162

Deimos had never strayed far from his mother, and he had certainly learned her teachings right at her hooves. Love was worthless, how one survived, how one kept their head above water was to rule by fear and intimidation. Phobos had learned it easily enough, he was good at the lies and deceits. But it was slightly harder for him, he'd earned many a hoof to the head for not performing up to task. His mother had a mission for him and if he wasn't good at what she needed him to be good at, then he wasn't good enough to continue living.
You ruled through intimidation and fear, that's what she'd taught him. That's what mothers taught you, he thought.
So now he was here to test out his honed skills and there, just there, seemed the very mare to do it.

 As her vision cleared her gaze fell upon the white stallion with violet markings. The way the colors popped against his mane were quite striking in a way and she couldn't help but want to talk to him. "Hello." She said shifting her wings against her body as she walked a little closer to him. "I'm Morrigan, who are you?" While it wasn't her full name she figured it was a decent enough start since saying the whole thing it wasn't something she gave out completely to strangers.

He smiled at her, taking in her charming appearance. Her colours were bright and vivid. Hethought about how he could best use his skills to prove his mother proud. He gave her a small smile, a bit tight-lipped and mysterious. "I'm Deimos." How best to proceed? He stood up to his full height but said nothing intimidating yet. He would never be good if he didn't study character to learn what others feared. You had to know their fear to intimidate them, you had to push the right buttons. His mother knew how to push his, that's how you got respect through fear. Fear was the only way to get that. "It's nice to meet you," he mirrored her movements, waiting to see what he could uncover from her.

"It's nice to meet you Deimos." Her wings shifted against her side as she spoke his name out loud. When he didn't say much else she wondered what else to say to get the conversation going. "What brings you out on this nice day?" That would work, at least it was something to go off of. He was the first she had talked to outside of her family so she wasn't really sure what to talk about. Her claws dug into the earth slightly and she shifted on her feet just a little and gave him another smile. WC: 98

She was hesistant, not quite trusting. But she was eager to not let things be awkward. He could use that as his mother had taught him. She would want to speak with someone interesting, someone who would keep the conversation alive and fluid--so that was who he would be. "Oh, I decided on a whim to go on a journey. I wanted to explore different crafts and see what struck my fancy. I would really like to make armor and necklaces, but I'm not sure if I'd be skilled enough." He ducked his head in an imitation of blushing. "I've only made a few small things here and there. I hear you have to be quite skilled to be able to work metals and such. How about you?" He looked up at her with a smile small barely coming on his face as though he wanted to please her.

"A journey sounds exciting!" She said, her interest perking up and she danced excitedly a little bit on her feet. Clearing her throat she realized how that might look and she calmed down a bit, shifting her wings against her side. "That sounds really awesome! I'm sure you'll be able to make some wonderful things in time." She added imaging what it would be like to be able to make such things. They would definitely be useful! "I bet the things you've made so far are quite lovely!" "Metal work does seem like it would take some skill, but I'm sure once you get the hang of it, it will be too easy." She said with a smile hoping to give him some reassurance that he'd be able to do it one day. She didn't know much about the craft but she was sure he'd be a fine jeweler/armor maker one day. Her? She shifted her wings. Her reason for being out wasn't nearly as exciting as his. "I just wanted to see the world. Nothing quite as interesting as your want to go on an adventure." She said looking at the ground a moment. "I'm sure you've met all sorts of interesting ponies though!" She said with a smile. WC: 210

Deimos could tell that she was buying the whole story. "I'm glad you think so. I'm not sure how well I'll do." He shuffled his feet again, he'd seen her excitement and her exuberance. She definitely liked to please. "Well, honestly the most interesting has been you." He made himself blush as he ducked his head again. This was exactly the way to win her over so that she would be vulnerable to his manipulation in time. It was the slow con, but it was the one he preferred. Give her what she's asking for then pull it all away in a sweep of emotions that would make her his pawn.

She gave him a reassuring smile, "I'm sure you'll do great! Have some faith in yourself." She said trying to motivate him a bit. Talk like that had always helped her out as a young filly, so why shouldn't it work on adults? Her? The most interesting? "That is very kind of you to say." She said softly, she wondered what about her was the most interesting. "I usually get that I can be a little intimating by my talons, so your words are a pleasant surprise." She said glancing down at her talons for a moment before returning her gaze upon him. "I'd like to hear a little about others you have met on your travels if you don't mind." She inquired. WC: 123

He watched the mare as she looked down at her claws, there was a look in her eye that he thought meant she was not complimented often. But then, she's practically said so. He looked up at her with big eyes. "I don't see why anyone would find you intimidating at all...except..." He cast his eyes downwards for a moment. "Well, I mean. You're so interesting, so lovely." He glanced up quickly then away. "Forgive my fowardness." He let the silence linger for a few minutes before answering. "Well, I met this old stallion who was deaf as could be. Mostly he just smiled at me and I smiled back at him until we akwardly went on our ways. There were a few foals, but not many and a kelpi who seemed more interested in catching fish than talking." All easy lies, manipulations to make it seem like he'd been rather lonely. The best lies were always partially true, he was lonely.

He was quite forward and it was throwing her for a loop. She wasn't exactly sure how to handle the attention almost. "I... Thank you." She finally got out. "It's alright.. No need to apologize." She said to him with a light smile. She listened as he spoke and she couldn't help but be a little enthralled by the tale. "I guess you wouldn't be able to do much but sit in silence." She said thinking of how that might have gone. "I don't know what I would do if I couldn't hear." She shuddered at the thought. "I don't think I've met anyone nearly as interesting. Though my nephews are unique." She said thinking of them with a fond smile.

Deimos listened intently, watching what appeared to be some small color coming to her face. Her eyes were bright as she spoke and he did really think her lovely. But this was a con still, he had to remember that. "It was hard to not have someone to talk to. He was a kind old stallion, but still...." He laughed a bit. "What's so interesting about your nephews? How many do you have?" He knew the questions would open her up make her more willing to talk. He'd be able to learn more about her this way.

She gave him a warm smile, yes having someone to talk to, no matter the age, would be nice if you've been alone for a long time. When he asked what was so interesting she couldn't help but give a light laugh. "I have three.... and they're unique like their mother for sure." She had to think of a way to describe them that would make sense. "The one loves things that aren't beautiful by normal standards." She said with a nod of her head. "It's just... You have to meet them to actually understand what I'm trying to say about them. They are unique in their own ways." She said finally getting it out. "What about you? Any siblings?"

Deimos chuckled at her description of the mare's nephews. But when she mentioned siblings for a moment the facade faltered. What could he really say about his brothers? They weren't particularly close, not with the type of mother that they'd had. It had always been a struggle of power through fear, that's how you made things accept you as their leader. For a moment, he almost lied and said he had no brothers but the moment was lost. He'd already hesitated too long. "Yes, two," he said slowly. "But we're not too close. I envy your nephew that." And a part of him did, because with a skinwalker for a mother they'd not had what anyone would consider a traditional family. It just wasn't until now that he'd realized how strange their set-up had probably been along with the survival of all three of his mother's baskets. He reckoned those were pretty good odds for skinwalker baskets.
