Wishing Star gaped at the explosion of fury unfolding before her, momentarily stunned into inaction by Fireflare's fit. Her own anger had been stifled by her shock at how quickly the pegasus had blown up in Conundrum's face; it was as though some secret switch had been flipped. All because he wouldn't turn around and apologize... to Star. She wasn't sure whether she should be flattered or mortified; the poor colt's career was about to go in the toilet, along with a sizable chunk of his money, all because of her. Not that he didn't deserve it, but still. This was going overboard a little.

"Um, uh, okay. We'll see you whenever you get done then, hon. Have...fun?" she said, before turning to walk away with Sibylla. "So...how about an oat dog? You can tell me all about why you're not Iron and what he screwed up to make a Griffon who reeks of magic and shares his memories."

"Ahhh sure, that works well enough." She was trying to block out the blow up happening behind her, that was the sort of reaction she'd been expecting from Frieflare regarding the rest of her own mess; thankfully her reaction was relatively subdue in that regard. Sibylla took a moment as they walked to sense her magic, rather a bit more difficult without a horn or a proper carbuncle, but she managed after a time, "Err I must have forgotten to put on my veil when I woke."

As they left the building, Sibylla began, "Well the short version is a Unicorn did it, what sort of specifics did you want?" She let Wishing Star lead the way as Sibylla did not know the campus and its surrounds quite as well as she guessed that Wishing Star did.

"Get your hooves off me!" With a grunt, he shoved the mare's hooves away and glared at her. "Here's a few facts for you to get through that skull you've probably cracked from running into monsters: Neither you, nor that gryphon are enrolled here, meaning that I'm not threatening students. The spell I used was very low powered and would only be even dangerous in very specific circumstances, not a one of which was present when I cast it. As for your assault charges, I never once hit you, your wife, or that gryphon; magically or otherwise. Any damage done to you was done by your own fault for starting a fight and I was trying to break it up! You can can scream all you want, but you have no case against me; now get the buck out of here and let me do the the job I was paid to do five minutes ago! Good day to you!"

He shoved passed her, but took great care to not shove her into anything or hit her hard to give her any material to use for her trumped up assault charge.

"I AM ENROLLED HERE, I AM PAYING WITH MY OWN MONEY THAT I EARNED MYSELF, AND NO PETTY RICH BOY WITH HIS MUZZLE JAMMED INTO TEXTBOOKS IS GOING TO COME UP AND TELL ME THAT MY MOTHER IS WORTHLESS BECAUSE SHE CAN'T FLY!"

Fireflare huffed, glaring after the professor.

"...I HOPE YOU DIE A SAD LONELY DEATH, YOU RACIST PSYCHOPATH!"

After a moment, she snorted and turned away. "Fucking bastard goes and fucking picks up my wife and fucking lectures her on his fucking insecurity complex then he fucking goes and tells me my mom's a worthless bitch and then he says I'm not smart enough for his university...." She rubbed her forehead. "I need a drink. Star? Is it okay if I drink? You don't think I'll hurt the foals do you?"

"Well, I had guessed that a unicorn did it, but what exactly did they do? Were you dicking around with ritual magics or something?" asked Wishing Star, giving the reticent griffon a quizzical look and tilting her head a bit. Had Iron managed to find a way to turn into a featherkitten at last, but paid for it with his sanity? Or had he erased himself and become someone totally new?

The questions whirling in her head were quite handily derailed by a fresh wave of raw-throated screaming behind her, followed by the sudden arrival of Fireflare in their midst. Her wife looked as though she had had enough, and was moments away from losing her mind.

"A drink is fine. Getting plastered, not so much. Tying one on while you're angry is just not going to end well at all, hon. Are you alright?" she said concernedly, aware that Fireflare had gotten much, much more worked up over the stubborn Earth Pony spellcaster than she had. The last thing she wanted was for the pegasus to spend the next four hours stewing over it before flying off to beat the stupid pony up.

"I didn't dick around with anything, he's the one that decided to do it. I don't remember very much of that though." Sibylla sighed, dealing with fractured memories that at once seemed like discrete details and intimate personal information at the same time was a hassle. "Ritual magic I think may have been involved, but I think more runes and somepony named... Spell Binder I think. Professor of Enchanting in the Fillydelphia's little college."

She shrugged, "What I can say is that what he did was not what I'd call, rational. I have a few of his notes on the matter, though it's mostly drawings and some symbols. Talking to him about it is... Difficult." She grimaced, reading his block letters wasn't hard, getting him to write more than a few words without being able to stand over him was much harder. "If you want the specifics on the Device, you should talk to him yourself, though I don't imagine he'll be particularly forthcoming about it." Each 100 bit word she spat out came with a slight pause and a very intentional pronunciation.

"...no. No I am not okay, I am pissed and angry and why the hell do ponies like that exist anyway..."

Fireflare took a deep breath.

"...right. Okay. I just need... I need to calm down. Okay. So." Fireflare shook her head. "Lunch. Lunch lunch lunch lunch lunch. Food. That'll help. You." She pointed at Sybilla. "As you're no doubt aware, I'm not in a very good mood right now. And I don't want to take it out on you, but I am this close to snapping. So, in plain and clear language, tell me this. What is your relation to Iron Hoof?"

Okay, things were just as bad as she had feared. Time for damage control.

Wishing Star leaned into Fireflare's side, nuzzling her cheek. "Calm down, Fireflare. Today is a good day, don't let one idiot spoil it for everypony. Be nice, okay?" she cooed in a soothing tone of voice, cranking the cuteness up to eleven in an effort to derail Fireflare's anger. This sort of sulky, simmering rage would end terribly if she didn't head it off right now.

Not good, instead of posing another question as she had hoped, Wishing Star was onto the business of calming Fireflare down. This of course wasn't a bad thing in the general sense but it left Sibylla with only one question to answer, how exactly she new Iron Hoof. She stayed quiet for several seconds, posing several false starts before finally shrugging and saying, "It's complicated." How was she going to convince t hem she wasn't Iron putting on airs if she told them they shared a body and to that, what did that make them? She pondered the possible permutations of their relationship deciding at last to amend her statement, "Friends I suppose?"

Wishing Star's nuzzle brought forth a frustrated sigh. "I know, I just... he hit all the wrong buttons. I... I dunno..."

After a moment, she returned the affectionate gesture. "Thanks. Thanks, I was... I was out of it for a moment there." Taking a deep breath, Fireflare wuddenly wrapped Wishing Star in a hug. "I don't know what I'd do without you...."

"You'd be a lonely monster hunter, that's what. I love you too." said Wishing Star, returning the hug briefly before pulling free and turning back towards Sibylla. The griffon had not quite answered the question, and while her evasive answer would normally go unnoticed, Star had a very good reason to be suspicious of anything griffon-related that pertained to Iron.

"So. Your friend, huh? That doesn't tell us how you know him, just what he is to you...and probably not all of that, either. Spill the beans, already. Iron managed to do something really, really stupid and probably irreversible to himself and you're the result, aren't you?" Star said, applying her critical thinking abilities carefully as she worked through Iron Hoof's admittedly simple thought process. She could definitely envision the silly blacksmith attempting to daisy-chain transmogrification pins in conjunction with something else and getting stuck transformed. Star couldn't guess as to why he would ditch his identity, though. Maybe to avoid his family or something.

Sibylla twitched a wing, the question of its reversibility struck Sibylla, "I will not discuss or entertain the idea that it can be reversed. Doing so would be my..." She paused in speech then shortly after, came to a complete stop. She'd never even given the matter any thought, it just seemed somehow absurd that Iron would seek to destroy her. The white griffon clutched her chest and stared down for a moment, "You're beating around a bush, I have told you he did something I don't know the specifics, it's not part of what I remember. You'll have to ask him." She started walking again, after letting her chest go and smoothing the ruffled feathers a little.

"He did something, it's permanent, but not always active." She concluded firmly a little more accent getting in as she lost some of her composure. "Now where is this place we're getting food at? I didn't have time when I woke to get anything to eat."

"Okay, wait wait wait. You're the result of Iron's shenanigans, we can apparently still talk to him, it's permanent but not always active...." Fireflare tapped her hoof on the ground. "Hold on... are you saying that you two share a body or something?"

"I think that's exactly what she's saying, hon. Looks like Iron finally got his wish; he managed to turn himself into a griffon doe. Too bad he's not able to enjoy it. I bet he's all sorts of chagrined about finally getting what he was after but not actually getting what he was after; that's like some cheesy storybook tale about a genie screwing somepony over." Wishing Star said, grinning at Iron Hoof's imagined frustration.

"So, are you usually this melodramatic? All that clutching of your breast and breathily proclaiming your doom, it's kind of weird. You and Iron really are pretty different, huh?"

She harrumphed, turning her head slightly, "Not that I'd say, but then I don't have the best perspective, besides it's the first time I considered the possibility that I could be destroyed without being around for it. I think I'm allowed to have at least one 'I could die if somepony does x' freak out in my life."

The existential crisis over Sibylla returned to the other matter that Wishing Star had brought up, "I'd imagine he's not happy with it, what I can remember about his part of the day is really just him being excited, so I suppose he's really disappointed that it didn't work out right. I didn't exactly ask him though, never really occurred to me." She shrugged, "So now you know what I am, what are you going to do about it?"
