I had a terrible feeling that Thistle would have known better to check her surroundings for her disturbed cousin roaming around after he discovered where she, Tempest and Lullaby lived before telling Lullaby to go home safely by herself which that would backfire for Thistle when Rusty makes his move after Thistle is trying to stop her brother Fireweed and and her lover Tempest from harming each other while both are under the influence of the Thunderstone and convince them to put aside their differences for her and Lullaby’s sake.

I think you’re gonna be right about that.

I’d say you but that be an that would be an insult to monsters.

He was never poisoned cause Thistle explained to Tempest that the chemical Thistle threw in his face was some kind of pepper spray like chemical that is unpleasant and hurtful but not lethal.

I think this is Lulu’s imagination. Rust was poisoned, and his eyes were glowing green. There wasn’t an antidote as far as I remember.

But I’m still patiently waiting for Tempest, Lullaby and Thistle reconcile, forgive each other as well as being a family again.

@Background Pony #31C9  
It was! He is an embodiment of Lulu fears and thus essential for her character arc.

@A Bitter Pill  
I have added a dialogue box on my DA to remind readers she is following Thistle’s order.

@A Bitter Pill
 
Thistle told her (again) to go home in the last panel of the previous page.

There seems to be a page missing. We went from Lullaby crying into Thistles side to her randomly running through the snowstorm. When did she even leave Thistle?

This will not stay unnoticed. Lulu will not stay quiet. There will be commotion.
 
And after having been minced by Hornless!Tempest, Rusty will now have to deal with Thunderstone!Tempest. Even Fireweed siding with him won’t help him. Remember we’ve seen Hornless!Tempest beat up half of Klugetown (as in creatures much bigger and heavier than her) with no resistance whatsoever and with no magic whatsoever.

Thistle and Tempest (after she remove the Thunderstone’s influence out of her) will not allow that once they and Fireweed find her and rescue her from that abusive dangerous jerk.
 
And maybe Fireweed will finally see that his cousin is more of a monster than Tempest ever was cause his cousin had his own plans on getting revenge on Tempest behind his back by using Lullaby and his sister as a liability, apologized to Tempest that he is wrong about her and make amends to his sister.
 
Lullaby will face her fears of Tempest being the Storm Monster and save her from the Thunderstone’s influence and accept Tempest as her mommy again.

I’m just going to say it; was throwing him back in really necessary? We have way too much sad already.

Why yes, she has seen a monster. You should probably run away before it finds you. I hear it has a taste for impotent little shits.

I have a feeling that Rust will use manipulation to turn Lullaby to his side.

She wants to help her Mommy despite knowing the truth! Eeee! <3

I swear you could rip that guy’s leg off beat him half to death and he’d still be set in his villainous ways.

and then there’s you.  
You do know Tempest just injured your wings right and if you did something to Lulu she not just going to injured your wings.

Lullaby… meet a monster that continues to be a monster.

Oh great this guy!

Things went from bad to worse really fucking fast.  
I’m fairly sure Lulu is seeing a monster right now.

Please tell me the next page where Tempest (once after she removes her Thunderstone horn), Thistle and Fireweed (once he realize his mistake that he’s wrong about Tempest) come to Lullaby’s rescue?
