The suddeness of Jewel's movements startled Rose more apparently then it had Glayse. Her body darted sideways for a moment upon instinct before holding a poised and lowered head in defense against her friend. Before she even realized what had just happened, Jewel had retreated back to her departing party.
Rose swallowed hard, her form relaxing just slightly as they left from view. When they were gone from ear shot, she lowered her eyebrows scorningly. "Those remarks only reinburse their opinions."
Then, as if her mind suddenly recalled the statement Jewel had stated in her own defense, her demeanor swiftly changed. Her body tensed, neck stretched, chest puffed in anger. Threatening she swayed her head with her horn, in outward sign of a bubbling anger.
"Just what exactly did she mean in accusing you as partly responcible for her death?!" She stopped a hoof into the ground demandingly.

Glasye's heart sped as he took in Rose's anger. Well, that would be assuming that he HAD A heart... Either way, he had to think quickly and speak convincingly.
"Those remarks only reinburse their opinions."
"Rosey-love," He said, with a slight sigh and what almost pass for an apologetic look, "They egged me on! I.." He sighed again, looking away then looking back. The lies came quite easily, "I was scared.. and I was worried they might hurt you trying to get to me. I was just trying to.. I dunno.. assert myself, scare them away from us.."
"Just what exactly did she mean in accusing you as partly responcible for her death?!"
Glasye snorted, inwardly relishing his chance to turn the unicorn against her best friend, "She was lying, Rosey-love! Didn't you see her this whole time, trying to pit you against me! I SAW her die in the battle, but I didn't do it! By the time I got there, it was too late!" He lowered his head, flustered emotions showing, fake though they were. "I think she must have changed, since all this happened. Can't you see it? She's different, Rosey.. she doesn't care so much anymore. She wants to kill me and even you, should you stand in her way. I saw her attack a GOD in that battle, Rose.. she could do it. I just want to protect you."

Rose's lips pursed firmly together, only adding to the affect of her angered face. Red ears flicked back, while purple eyes glared with a fiery intensity. All this a front while her mind swiftly rambled, trying to rationalize the two stories.
Glayse was right, at least about Jewel. She'd changed. Jewel was definitely aggressive, and Jewel had been in that battle against the gods. The peg was crazy enough to attack a god, Rose knew that, but then...Rose had been just as insane enough to attack Piston, creator of the Dark Rainbow.
However, Rose couldn't exactly ignore what Jewel'd said. Glayse was capable of murder, hell she'd seen him kill with her own eyes. She could allow his earlier remark to Peri slid easily enough...but this was a new pot of beans.
In the end, the red unicorn couldn't effective decide between the two, and it was hard. Reluctantly, heart won over mind. She had to give Glayse the benefit of the doubt, although it truly bothered her. Jewel's words would nag on her for a while, she knew as a result.
Slowly, her domineering stance returned to her usual calm frame. Rose exhaled a long drawn breath before glancing back down the route Jewel had taken. Her mother warned her about days like these.
"I'm just glad we're safe...for the moment," Rose responded softly to him, neither verbally agreeing or denying his claims.

"I'm just glad we're safe...for the moment,"
"Yes.. me too," Glasye responded, nuzzling her affectionately, in an attempt to calm her fiery temper. Though her fieryness WAS good when it came to some things...
"We should get back, and make sure Tsuwari is all right," He said, the image of a caring father.

Rose flet a knot in her stomach as the orange stallion affectionately nuzzled her. The feeling bothered her, a reminder of Jewel's words. It just left Rose feeling...horrible. It was all right to feel happy though she knew he was a killer, but now that he was possibly implicated in her friend's death?
She tried not to think of that and forced herself to nuzzle him back. "Yeah, I'm sure by now Tsuwari's probably lathered himself in maple syrup somewhere."
