(ofequus ; adagio) The siren merely gave a wide grin, showing her serrated teeth as she rested her chin on one of her hooves. "Hello Starswirl, it's been quite the long time."

The wizard startled slightly from being addressed out of nowhere, and when his head whipped around to lock eyes with the wicked siren, Starswirl grit his teeth under his beard.

“ Tch — not long enough, I say, ” he huffed, cautiously widening the space between them. The unicorn preferred being a sizable distance away from her imposing jaws.

          He was forced encouraged to come to ponyville for the minor vacation from college. Celestia had wanted to take him there, but never really had the chance. They were both busy. She had her duties as a ruler, Lucifer had his studies. It was from his mother’s encouragement, that a certain princess of friendship had to meet him on the train and have him stay at her castle likely out of pure excitement to even learn that he existed in the first place. Thankfully, she didn’t really know that he is an alicorn, or saw through the illusion spell.... Because he didn’t want to bother with the questions and the possibility of his secret being ousted to the public.

         °☆.。  twilight  was  failing  &&.  failing  SPECTACULARLY.   she  had  trained  with  tempest  for  the  past  few  hours  ,  studying  FORMS  &&.  TECHNIQUES  of  offense  &&.  defense  until  she  had  memorized  them  PERFECTLY.  — so  why  was  it  that  she  was  so  TERRIBLE  at  combat  when  put  to  the  test?  why  did  she  continue  to  MESS UP  so?  and  LOSE?  she  couldn’t  lose  ,  yet  she  could  barely  stand  now  , her  ears  pinned  back  against  her  head  ,  sweat  dripping  from  her  brow  and  her  muscles  ACHING  with  bruises.  and  TEMPEST  —  oh  that  blasted  unicorn.  how  she  despised  HER  in  the  moment.  marking  every  failure  ,  blunt  WORDS  digging  into  her  head  the  more  she  couldn’t  defend  herself  against  her  attacks.  and  she  was  SUPPOSEDLY  FEINTING.  °☆.。

       °☆.。  one  more  blow  landed  on  twilight’s  battered  body  and  the  alicorn  slid  back  ,  wings  outstretched  for  balance.  she  growled  out  ,  ANGER  and  FRUSTRATION  running  high  as  magic  glowed  in  the  spirals  of  her  horn,  &&.  within  an  instant  her  shield  enveloped  her  in  a  bubble  that  separated  HER  from  everything  on  the  outside. °☆.。

         “ Oooh gawsh, how could I forget?? ‘Course I remember that summer. Bein’ at that camp with you was the best part. ”    Regaling in times long passed. A friendship that had blossomed under the summer sun, & now they could start anew. Rebuild what had collected dust. The very intention of why the farmer choose to take time off for a few days. There was much catching up to do. So even after a day of beholding the sights of the city, AJ had pulled the family album out.

          All snugged & tight, with a cup of steaming tea in her hooves she thought back to those summer days. Both of them so young & carefree. But then she remembered the raw emotions, the confusion her heart sang. A confusion she only could put to words in her older years. & as she thought back to those feelings, a smile grew upon her maw.

         “ Ya know, if I’m bein’ honest, I kinda a small playground crush on ya back then. Silly I know, but I jus’ thought you we’re nice & sweet, & the first time I ever heard ya sing I swear I thought my heart was gonna burst. But I never said anything ‘cause I liked what we had back then. Jus’ the two of us. --- I miss that Rara. I’m glad we can be friends again. I’ve really missed havin’ ya in my life. ”

And while deep down Gallus was flattered by the gesture (And perhaps more than a little flustered), he was more than a little embarrassed by it.
