Season 7

Triple Tableaux

The claw lashing out at his head was avoided by a small lean back. The attack continued on as the Diamond dog attacking him over balanced and Rahs just helped him crash a bit harder to the ground with a flick of his tail around the dogs ankle.

Today was one of the date days. It was also Jynx's birthday apparently according to Rarity, so he'd gotten Spike to help him cook up a decent meal and there was a plan to head to this quiet glade he had found in the Everfree while Cockatrice hunting for a picnic thing while it was a warm fall day still. He had also commissioned a rather nice dress for her from Rarity, making sure the mare didn't go too flamboyant or too skimpy.

Maybe another time for that one.

He shifted again catching the dog bursting out of the ground in front of him with one hand at the scruff of the neck and using him to beat the other one who had tried to come up from behind.

He was still anxious about all of this. Had he met Jynx perhaps a month before his encounter with the Bone Hounds, he's probably be a father and Jynx would have won without ever knowing there were others after him.

Now.. well Witch-Jack hit the same impulses Jynx did with him, only harder due to her actually being much closer to him as a species. Which was a bit weird as he had no interest in any of the Moon Dogs he had met in the Oniroi. Hell he could actually tell when they were flirting.

He leaned back, one hand and tail bracing on the ground and met a wild hay maker with a boot to the head.

He considered that Jynx and witch Jack had teamed up to come after him to be a massive win in his books, I mean if his brother could handle the two goddesses he was with, Rahs could handle one god as a god himself.

Maybe, the way the two of them looked at him sometimes was worrying and he swore he heard Cadence cackle every time they did despite her being in the Crystal Empire.

Of course it wasn't that easy either While those two certainly had the body, they didn't have that many interests similar to his own. Sunset and Saturnia on the other claw.

Which he dodged, these guys were not creative.... wait did that one have a sword? Neat.

Those two were very much more in his way of thinking. Sunset was witty, sarcastic, and rather cute in that fur less form of hers, plus her magic was tasty.

MMMM Bacon.

She also didn't seem set on any one thing and was quite helpful with random shit that came up. The same could be said about Saturnia. Rahs was dog enough to admit that having a woman who could change to be anything he wanted was awesome.

Just think of the stage costume savings.

Rahs caught the sword in the crick of his arm jerking suddenly and snapping the wood leaving the one who had been holding it looking at the splinted remains dumbly before Rahs punted him into the air towards the river.

Saturnia was also into the same sort of romantic novels and books that he was and the pair of them had spent hours not doing much but reading things in each others company. Sure that sounded like something his sister would be more into, but you don't grow up with some one and not pick up a few habits. Her magic thankfully didn't taste like her mothers with the chocolate, but a interesting flavor that he couldn't quite Identify with hints of Strawberry from her mothers side.

Rahs caught the rock hurled at his head and slung it right back without giving that particular dog more than a glance.

Then there was Trixie. He liked Trixie and the mare... dragon? Kirin? Whatever she was now had managed to actually push past the foal hood friend with him as he could see her as some one he would have been interested in, even before the whole dragon lord thing.

Wait was that Ember in the sky? Huh must be visiting Trixie again. Rahs raised a claw to offer her a wave then drove his elbow back into the one coming up behind him.

The dragon hovered there a moment over the field before waving back and continuing on towards town.

Lastly was Aria. Rahs still didn't know what to think about her, but she had a fur less form that was also cute, and had a few shared interests involving the stage with him, she was very outgoing and had drug him off to all manner of interesting things he had never been to before. It had been something of an experience. Though of them all he probably had the least connection with her, but she seemed more intent on enjoying herself … and him than anything long term which did ease a good bit of his stress when it came to her.

One of the attackers managed to jostle the food basket he had in the other hand and that earned the dog a couple extra hits to drive him into the ground.

They all had their down sides however.

Jynx sometimes triggered the phobia after his time as a prisoner of the Bone Hounds, Applejack's mother. Aria's Father, Saturnia was technically related to him, Sunset's mother,father,whatever...Trixie's need to beat everyone else.

Oddly a lot of the issue was the family of the ones who liked him. Wonder what that said about his tastes. Twilight had probably already done the psyscoanilization. Best not to get into it.

Stopping in front of the Guard on the outside of the jade Wolf Warrens Rahs tilted his head at the armed bitch who simply shrugged and sent the other guard down to get Jynx, all three of them ignoring the trail of battered and beaten male suitors for Jynx Rahs had left groaning in his wake.

“Next time can you beat the mangy red one over there a little more? I want to nurse him back to health and change who he looks at.” The guard asked.

Rahs glanced over to the one who had managed to touch the basket he was carrying and offered a nod and thumbs up to the bitch.

Seriously there was just a trail of bodies left behind as he walked over to that hole in the ground, what the crap was up with that?” Ember demanded her wings fanning as she sat at the table at the cafe.

The black carapaced Changeling across from her at the table considered.

“Probably going to see Jynx, going by what my boss has been rambling about all day , this is the Diamond dog's day to date him.” Thorax offered.

“Seriously, and he had to fight his way to get to her? And did?” Ember blinked. “i think your boss might be losing him if he's willing to do that.”

“Ehh evidently Jynx made it part of his combat training that those guys would show up and try to beat him. Near as I can tell they all want Jynx and see beating Rahs as a way to gain her favor.” Thorax shrugged.

“I can rather respect that idea of strength, but it seems like she's already chosen him going by how the Dragon Lord is whining too.” Ember grumbled.

“Oh yeah I can feel the anger and anxiety of her from here. Hmm only three of the six after him though. Aria's only a bit upset, Applejack, while not content is at least not overly worried, Sunset's fuming and then there's Saturnia and Trixie who are both near feral.” Thorax shuddered.

Here you two are, enjoy.” The waitress offered, she was a rather pretty little cow who had moved in not long ago with her deer girlfriend. They had opened an ice cream shop that seemed to have no limit of flavors. Hence Ember's Emerald Dream Mint chocolate chip with Emerald chips mixed in, and Thorax's own Very Cherry Berry, blueberry and cherry mixed with vanilla.

“Hence why I am not bothering to have a talk with her, she's in no fit way to deal in politics.” Ember nodded.

“Well thanks for inviting me out here for ice cream then, not sure I could have taken the boss's ranting much longer.” Thorax agreed.

“Mmm. You are perhaps one of the few around here who understands my issues working with Trixie.” Ember offered making sure to not eat the spoon that came with the ice cream as she savored the flavor.

Spoons cost extra as flavoring.

“Given both our bosses are after the same dog and have the same general mentality regarding him, I can understand that.” Thorax nodded

The two enjoyed their ice cream in silence for a bit with only the chink of spoons

“Two questions for you Thorax.” Ember finally stated.

“Hmmm?”

“Can you change into a dragon?” Ember asked.

“Probably not a very big one, but about your size or a little bigger shouldn't be too hard. I mean I wouldn't be a real dragon so no lava baths but fire breath and general toughness is easy.” Thorax shrugged. “Why? What's the second question?”

“Do you consider this a date?”

Thorax wound up having to pay for the spoon he bit through at that question.
