Someone shoved against her, and though Ampere's body bobbed obediently out of the way, it swung right back around, hooves planted and eyes transfixed on the bundle of feathers and fading life. Dimly she was aware that there was someone familiar there, someone she knew, Tandavi fixing the fucking mess the stupid stallion had created for himself, but had you asked her Ampere could only have dumbly responded. She could only whatch it all unfold, like some sort of sick play that she found entertaining. Except she didn't, couldn't, wouldn't. This was not okay, but they were acting like she was the awful one?

They - just the general them, the dissenters from Ampere's lectures, the reactive forces that clashed against her own when she spoke truth and sensibility amid ears that folded in desired ignorance. She could feel the reaction bubbling up inside of her again as she stood her, watching, waiting for this creature to die when it had never even managed to live.

"This. Is. Not. Okay." she managed to force the words out through her grit teeth. Somewhere between an eternity and two seconds Ampere roused from her baleful stare, lashes blinking over the electric skies of her eyes, the lightning in them holding fast to the speckled ass that whimpered near an almost-corpse. "DON'T JUST ACT LIKE THIS OKAY! LIKE THIS ISN'T YOUR DAMN FAULT!" I mean honestly, if he fought a fucking giant GOD, one that mauled so many of the horses around, why did he think it would be okay to use a tiny little owl to fight his battles? In what world would a normal owl have ever gotten involved in this fight?

"Don't you dare cry, and don't you shout, or refuse to see what it is you have done. You took her soul, and you shoved it down next to yours, and that awful connection is why this poor creature is on the ground now. YOUR selfishness, YOUR battlelust, YOUR wants DID THIS."

Bristling, sparking, and spitting Ampere abruptly turned to stalk a ways away. Her wings flexed and unflexed anxiously, while her hooves wore out a bloodied path in the crimson world as she paced. "FUCK" she swore, loud and careless and pissed because FUCK HIM for doing this and everyone acting like it was fine.
