Fireflare gave her a careful look. "....so, since you're basically Iron's little sister, we're going to have to talk to him before we actually do anything. And that means we'll have to keep you around until Iron... comes back. So... um, why don't you hang out with Star while she goes to class, and... no... Um..." She turned to Wishing Star. "Yeah, I have no idea where to go with this. Except to get both sides of the story. Actually, you know what? We were going to get lunch. Let's go get lunch." She shook her head, wincing in pain at the massive headache brought on by a combination of her earlier rage and the newfound confused exasperation. |

"Little sister." Sibylla stared for several moments at Firflare, "There are a lot of ways we could be said to be related, Little sister was not the one I was leaning toward." She sighed, giving the whole thought a more analytical look. They weren't very loving, in fact their various correspondences over the year or so were rather hostile much of the time; that combined with the fact he was withholding awake time from her and demanding things of her to get said awake time, "I'd say it's closer to a mildly abusive coltfriend/fillyfriend relationship." She shrugged and gave them both a look, "Ehhh but that's the way the cookie crumbles I suppose."

"Okay, no. See in order for it to be a romantic relationship, let's put aside the abusive comment cause I know that Iron could never do that, but in order for it to be romantic the love has to be mutual here. And I'm getting the sense that you're not fond of Iron, probably because you have to share a body with him. Fact is, he's older then you, and you can't really call him daddy, bu he does seem kinda related to you, so I had to go with sister. It's the only thing that makes any sense in my head and WOW here we are, let's get a table." |

"No, Fireflare. You don't have to have any sort of love to have that kind of relationship. Just a bond that's hard to break." said Star in a dark tone, sitting down at a corner booth and fiddling with a salt shaker while she waited for the others to sit and service to arrive. Little tidbits like this often popped up in her life, with Fireflare reminding her that she had never had a significant other that didn't bring love and romance to the table with them. How the pegasus had gotten so far in life without at least getting drunk and having a one night stand still escaped the realm of Wishing Star's mental grasp; it was mind boggling to think that some scoundrel with a big purse, a dashing scar and a steel belly hadn't managed to drink her under the table and have his way with her. |

Sibylla was not in a position to dispute Fireflare's argument, fortunately however Wishing Star did that for her, "I'm not suggesting that Iron beats me, really I'd be impressed if he found a way to hurt me at all." The gryphon sat at the table as well, almost instantly fishing out a log and placing it on the table. She started flipping through it until she found a page she seemed to like, "Ahhh here we are, these are his notes on the spell runes and gems he used, I don't understand it anymore than he did, honestly, but my memories do tell me you might." She turned the book around so that it faced Wishing Star, it seemed like the thing to do, particularly since she was now wallowing in anxiety. On the left hoof page was a circle of runes, with traced lines going inward toward two drawings of gems. Several of the runes were non-standard and one specifically was practically new all together, though it looked a lot like the horn of a Changling Queen. The opposite page is covered in block letters imperfectly explaining most of the basic runes, but becoming more confused on each additional rune's function and intended reaction with previous runes. By the end it simply says: Ask Mr. Spell Binder. |

"Oh great, runic script. Okay, let's see..." Star studied the spell notations with a steadily growing sense of unease, frowning at the increasingly improvised runes. The majority of them were basic hard-casting runes, covered in the ritual section of her arcane studies textbooks, but several were unfamiliar to her, with a few obvious mashups and one that seemed to be totally new. That was worrisome. As far as she knew, you only used untested script if you were especially desperate...or suicidal. "Oh Iron, what have you done to yourself? It looks like he tried to mash some sort of permanence setup into a regular old transmogrify spell...I guess giving up half your soul is better than getting blasted into goo, but still..." she groaned, grimacing at the mess on the page. Even with her basic understanding of ritual magic, Star could tell that this was a bodge job at best. Why Iron Hoof had actually gone and used it without testing it first, she would never know. Well, unless she got to ask. |

Sibylla looked on as Wishing Star analyzed the spell work, her eyes were drawn to the unicorn's furrowed brow. She swallowed hard as she waited for the more experienced mage to finish her analysis. Then it was upon her, the core of the issue, "Yes well you can ask him yourself in," She pulled out a pocket watch and popped it open, looking at it for a moment before snapping it closed and returning it, "Eighteen hours thirty minutes give or take a few." The gryphoness's stomach let out a protestation which results in a blush from Sibylla, "Ehehe, awake six hours and still no meal." |

"Well, time to fix that. This is a nice Astarian restaurant, we can have some really filling food..." Fireflare glanced at the menu. "...and they sell bacon here. So you know, fun for herbivores and carnivores alike." She was beginning to realize that in this situation she was more of an accessory then anything, not magically educated to such a degree as her wife nor really able to comprehend Sybilla's relationship with Iron Hoof. Wishing Star's words had stunned her into a brief silence, reminding her of the darker links the unicorn had had in her past.... links that had shaped her into the mare she was today, but broken her in so doing. And now Fireflare was trying to fix another pony... griffon... person without understanding those links. She raised her menu to keep her face from showing. "...so... the, um, Red Noodle platter looks interesting..." |

"Yes it does." Wishing Star said, sticking her head behind the menu as well and making something of a show out of carefully examining its contents. "So what are you getting, hon? I think the watercress lo mein sounds good." She was being deliberately obtuse, trying to crowd Fireflare out from behind her little shield so that she would have to be social. Now was not the time for sulking behind a menu; not when they had just run across Iron Hoof and discovered that he had managed to screw himself up permanently. Talking to Sibylla might be just what the pegasus needed. |

Bacon, of sweet bacon. Sibylla could smell the cooked meat in the air, the scent of scorched fat, seared flesh, it was a delicious and forbidden food. She tried to snort, but found the effect to be rather underwhelming, "I can smell it Fireflare, I can smell it, but I'm not allowed." Now she sighed, she was sure this would turn into some dialog around why and she'd have to explain how her other half had forbidden her from eating any meat. She didn't really want to talk about it, or be sitting in a booth waiting for some waiter or waitress to get off their plot and take their order. Surely if they sold bacon they'd have seen a gryphon before and would hold little fear of them, right? Sibylla couldn't say. She hid her annoyance behind a menu, she needed to find something to eat on the menu. Vegetables. Vegetables. Vegetables. Ohhhh bacon.... Maybe. She popped out her watch and looked at it, "He'll never know." She said under her breath, deciding bacon infused vegetable something something. She spent a moment trying to figure out what it was before giving up, "Guess what, I can't read for crap, what's this say and it does have bacon in it right?" She turned the menu around and pointed at the listing, the act was embarrassing but such was her equestrian reading skills that other languages and mixes of Equestrian and others were frustratingly difficult. One way or another she was to be embarrassed at least in this way she could control how embarrassed. |

"Hmm? Oh yeah, that has bacon in it. So, Red Noodle platter for me, the Lo Mein for Star, and... however you pronounce that for Sybilla." She coughed. "Speaking of whom.... er.... Have you and Iron Hoof tried to work out, you know, even trade between... time and stuff? I assume you can transform at will." Focus on the practical, Fireflare thought, that would help out a lot more then her usual blundering attempts to emotionally connect and appease. |

Sibylla looked over the menu at Fireflare, she really just did that? Ughh... After a few moments of mental groaning at Fireflare for her pronunciation dodge Sibylla put down the menu. She let out a sigh, "No, not at will. Not really." She shook her head, "Either of us can choose to release control to the other, except Iron never has to give up control ever if he's careful. I on the other hoof cannot. In eighteen hours and thirty minutes I will undergo an involuntary shift back to him. Like a trasnmute pin running out of juice and reverting the user. Once Iron has control he is under no such limitation." She frowned and sighed again. "And he has proven difficult to convince that I deserve time in the waking world. Even recently I am just as likely to wake up by accident than I am to wake up because he intended to give me time." She fished out another log and waved it, "I can hardly get him to respond to my letters, let alone have a discussion. Over the last year and a half or so I've gotten maybe one of every four days, if that." She leaned back and stowed the book, it wasn't one she wished to share, the writing and spelling in it was frankly horrible. |
