It was never something really discussed, and to be honest, Ampere had never dwelled on it - this balance between her and the pale mare and the man they both loved. Ampere had always known of Sohalia and Gaucho, had even tried to purposefully come between them, or rather, have Gaucho notice her in the beginning, such was the intensity of her desire for the fire. In her youth there had certainly been jealousy and even cruel deviousness towards Sohalia, but Ampere had mellowed with age, tempered by the heat of the Throat and the weight of motherhood. She held no ill will towards Sohalia, but perhaps had only been lucky thus far that Sohalia did not hold any against her.

Ampere's knowledge of Sohalia and Gaucho meant she had always accepted their children, old or otherwise (her gaze flicked towards the filly in the distance). What of Sohalia though, did she feel the same way, did she even know? Ampere did not run around telling anyone who the father of her children were (sometimes even she didn't know...), and her and Gaucho had never really decided on anything between each other. There was just a magnetic pull each of them felt towards each other that seemed unavoidable, and there'd been talk of love at some point or another, but that had been it. Like everything between her and the Transcended, she and Sohalia were extremely different, yet very similar. The word mate had certainly been used between Gaucho and the pale mare, but the phrase had never been uttered with Gaucho and the dark mare.

So the notion that Ampere was bringing a buried topic dangerously close to the light never once crossed her mind, because for her, it was already out and on fire. Even when Sohalia's body language shifted slightly, the blue pegasus took it to be concern for the Wildfire, not for his heart.

So Ampere continued, her tone distant as she seemed caught up in her recent memories of the stallion and the small cues he'd given off. "I can't pin it under my hoof," she admitted, "yet he seems, off." Now that she wasn't in his presence, wrapped up in his heat and his light, she couldn't exactly recall what had seemed so wrong. "He seems, weaker," she finally managed, tilting her head faintly, as if unsure of its herself. "And distant, like he's there but not." Her lips pursed in a thin line of disapproval, as if saying the worries out loud not seemed silly to her. She shook her head and sighed, her gaze clearing as she left her memories and looked back at Sohalia. "Then again I've been gone, so perhaps something has happened to occupy him as of late. A new threat to the herd perhaps... he's always busy with the politics."

Except Ampere's gut still churned with worry, because she knew what a herd-busy Gaucho looked like, and this wasn't it.
