He has seen a great many magics and heard of even more, but what this girl proposes is hardly unbelievable.
His dreams have always been hazy things, images and emotions that fade as son as he opens his eyes. To be this...well, this awake and also be dreaming? Pteron shakes his head. Even the flutter of his blue mane against his neck feels off, and he stamps one front foot again, and is anything but reassured by the dreamlike quality to that sharp motion as well.
He believes her, Pteron decides, but he is not sure he likes the truth she is telling him.
The answer that the unicorn gives him is no help, and the pegasus scowls even as she tries to explain. Change her into something? But how? He has no skill at dreamweaving, and possesses no ability in the waking world to change her either. Has she asked him just to make a fool of him when he tries and fails? Pteron is good-natured, but no man enjoys being made a fool of, and he opens his mouth to refuse.
But then he snaps it shut, because his subconscious wish (that she'd just go away - disappear) has suddenly come true.
Pteron breathes in sharply, a habit borne of a childhood with invisible siblings, as likely to hide with their abilities as behind a tree. He finds that her scent still lingers - a strange smell, like scales - despite the fact that she is invisible. Pteron , still scowling, focuses again, and suddenly she is back - poised on the rocky bridge that she's made from nothing.
Only when she's wearing the body of a brightly pink rhinoceros does Pteron's scowl finally begin to soften, and he asks in a tone that is at last curious rather than cautious: ”Are you a magician?"
