"I get that you're desperate, but I'm not willing to throw either of you under the bus for the other's sake. You're just going to have to learn to work with him... somehow." Fireflare shrugged. "I'm still new at this advice thing. I'm more of a beat things up kind of pony. Oh hey, our food's here."

She began to eat. With gusto.

"You guys need some kind of timeshare agreement. Some kind of structured schedule to work with...but if I was Iron, I'd be terrified. I'm pretty sure your body isn't getting a lifespan extension just because it's caught in some kind of arcane flux field at all times. So you popping up pretty much cut his life in half. Somepony telling me that half of the days I had left in this world would be lived by somepony I had never really met would be...pretty awful. Nightmarish, almost." said Wishing Star, her tone turning contemplative towards the end of her statement. She picked at her lo mien for a while, staring at Sibylla and trying to figure out some sort of neat, perfect solution to the problem.

Unfortunately, one didn't seem to exist.

"Okay, you say you want two days in a row. I think we could do something like that if you helped Iron out somehow in the meantime. No matter how much you protest to the contrary, you're still Iron Hoof. It's his body, and I'm sure he has things to take care of. Maybe he could give you a list of crap to take care of while you're out and about, to make up for the time he's losing to you?"

Sibylla got her food before she got around to responding. It was a sort of bacon fried rice, with a fancier name and some other things in it, but when it came down to it, that's what it was. Sibylla slowly went about eating it, savoring it, as she ate she pondered the matter; a very Iron look on her face. After a spell she looked at Wishing Star, "That idea is a good one, I suppose I could sacrifice a little time to get some minor chores done, assuming of course he gives me more time."

The gryphoness sighed, "This of course would require both of you to help. The threads of our recent discussion have been rather one sided lately." She took a bite and finished it before continuing, "He specifically hasn't been leaving much in the way of notes to me. I can pose anything I like, but it is his decision as to whether I get time or not, under what conditions." She paused again then continued, swirling her food with a fork as she spoke, "He showed me last year before the eclipse, that he could be careful for an entire month." She sighed, stifling an angry look with another mouthful of delicious bacon goodness.She'd been walking on eggshells since, up until the last few times where the lesson was beginning to wear off.

"He shut you out for a whole month? Wow." Star looked surprised for a moment; Iron must have taken a great many steps to insure that he didn't become too charged with magic during that month-long stint, to be able to suppress the transformation spell that long. It was actually quite impressive. "He must have pretty much sworn off of magic for that whole time..."

The only unicorn at the table couldn't really envision taking a hiatus from magic for any length of time. She used her telekinesis so often and for so much that her hooves were awkward and clumsy- even more so than was the norm for ponykind in general. No fine manipulation? No chilled drinks on demand, no instantly ironed sheets, no dishes that scrubbed themselves? Impossible. No more fine dexterity, having to brush your mane by hoof, buttoning jackets with your teeth, ugh... it just seemed too much to ask of any unicorn. It would be like cutting off a pegasus' wings or paring an earth pony's prodigious strength down to a fraction of its titanic stature.

"That must have taken a lot off effort on his part. I wonder why it was so important that you didn't surface? Was there anything special about that month?"

She nodded, "I believe there was, from his perspective at least." The gryphoness started toward another bite of food, but stopped, her feathers puffing a bit trying to hide the red in her cheeks, "A few years back. You did something to him, honest and worthy reaction to his rather rash decision. He spent a week as it, dealing with it." She began eating then, if neither of them could figure it out then that was too bad, she was not going to spell out that Iron had holed up in his cart far away from civilization and magic simply to deny her the enjoyment of the season and him the discomfort and distress of waking up next to strange ponies. She continued to pick at her food for as long as it took them to give up or figure it out, she honestly hoped they'd find some other line of thought and she now regretted bringing the matter up at all.

"...so he spent his... anniversary... not using magic."

Fireflare just stared.

"...wow... we... left an impact..."

She couldn't figure out what to say. Was this a good thing? Was this a bad thing? Why was she so bad with ponies? Beating thins up always made more sens then--NO, bad thoughts. She was retired. Fighting was no. Do not think like that...

"...I... don't know what... Okay. Okay. I.... Okay, so what we need to do..."

"Remind me to laugh at you until I go blue in the face in a second, okay?" Star said to Sibylla, squashing her amusement at the idea of Iron simply skipping the griffon's estrus cycle like that. It was hilarious, but she had other fish to fry. Something was wrong with her love, and that took precedence over rubbing Sibylla's beak in it.

"Okay, Fireflare. Talk to me. You're being all quiet and stammering and stuff, it's not like you. What's wrong?"

The maid had a suspicion as to what was bothering her, but she didn't want to really give any credence to the niggling thought. She didn't want Fireflare to be the second pony she had torn completely down. Yes, she had been too harsh on her over the DAIA fiasco, but...well, she just wouldn't be able to live with herself if her scolding and cold-shoulder tactics had reduced Fireflare to some timid, self-doubting little mouse of a mare. Being the one to douse her wife's sparky attitude would be nothing short of tragic.

"I, I..." Fireflare had not made the connection between the estrus cycle and the timing, so focused was she on the emotional aspect. "What did we do to him?! How could he react, like, like, I just... Was he celebrating? Was he mourning? Have we completely ruined him?"

"What? No, no! Hon...Iron went into heat like, two hours after we stuck him with those pins. Griffons must go on cycle sometime in fall. Iron wasn't being vindictive, he just didn't want to wake up next to some strange colt!" said Star, beginning to crack up a bit from the mixture of relief and rebounding amusement at Sibylla's predicament. She chuckled briefly at the faux pas before draping a foreleg across Fireflare's shoulders in a consoling gesture.

"Iron skipped Sibylla's heat cycle, that's all."

Sibylla decided to dignify neither of them with a reaction, well aside from her rather obvious refusal to react. That indignation however did not last long, soon she couldn't hold back, "He took the entire month, didn't even warn me!" Her face was deep crimson under a thin veil of feathers. It was utterly humiliating to have one of them laughing about it and talking about it so openly, as if her sex life was something to be on display to the entire world. She looked down at her food and started eating it with sudden gusto, muttering something under her breath between bites that made no sense at all.

Fireflare blinked.

Then she facehooved. "Of course. I'm such an emotional idiot... you know what, today is just not my day. It's my anti-day. Or something. Right. Um. Let's... get back to business, we'll... talk to Iron about that thing... when we talk to him..."

Unable to say anything else, Fireflare mimicked Sibylla's actions and began to eat in order to prevent herself from saying anything embarrassing. Increasingly she was of the opinion that she should not have gotten out of bed today...

"Heh. I have to admit, that's a pretty good reason to swear off of magic for a month. I can just imagine what might have been; poor Iron waking up next to some burly griffon with a mohawk and a tattoo. Sisters, he'd have gotten beaten to within an inch of his life. Sorry, Sibby, but it looks like you're just going to have to kiss mating season goodbye for the forseeable future. Putting aside the problem of staying charged long enough to have your one night stand without Iron getting beaten up, what if your buck-buddy had decided to make whatever sex you might have had into a regular thing? Getting caught up in some weird relationship like that is the last thing Iron wants, I'm sure." said Star, still chuckling softly to herself from time to time. This was just too much.

Sibylla continued to blush furiously, in all her existence short though it was, this was the most embarrassing thing to happen to her. "He could have done it a dozen ways! And Fredrick did not beat h.." With that she clapped her hands over her beak, and found a new color to turn as she sunk down in her seat and tried to hide herself in her hands. She grabbed a napkin and lamely covered the rest of her face with it, while she tried to pretend she wasn't there.

"Okay, this I've got to hear. Just out of vindictive spite."

Fireflare put on her sweetest, most innocent grin, focusing her gaze upon the griffon.

"Oh dearest Sybilla, pray tell us who this Fredrick is? We would not want your honor sullied by a lover who would leave you after learning of your, ahem, affliction."

Was she having too much fun with this? She'd been caught up in a fight with a racist professor, discovered a friend and sort of surrogate son had been up to crazy and potentially harmful outings, and then realized that said unicorn was acting like an infant. Yes, she was having too much fun. And she didn't care.
