<P> Mischief In Scales (Xun/Yu)

[A Wandering Esper]

It had honestly been much, much, much too long since he had seen Yu, and Takeru's mention of having ran into their brother reminded him of this much. To be honest, he did not even remember the last time he had seen Yu, but then he was busy, and so had he been.

But that was quite enough, and to this end, he had set up his ambush, waiting right outside of their master's quarters. Yu was bound to come out eventually... and that was when he would get him. The dragon form he wore at the moment was much smaller than his usual - the aim was to tackle Yu, after all, not squish Yu.

He was crouched in the grass, and he waited. Xun Jiang was a patient creature, and he would get what he sought.

Had he been asked, Yu would have had to agree with Xun Jiang: it had been far, far too long since the Dragon Kings had spent much time together. Even so, he kept himself busy working for the Glory of Harmodius and for himself, so while he did miss his siblings, he felt pretty well fulfilled. Most of the time.

With the surging, crackling mana surrounding Creation, Yu didn't sense his lurking brother. He wanted to go and take a nice, relaxing walk about...maybe go take a nice dip in one of the cool, deep pools of water that existed around the edges of the Pantheon grounds. Without any knowledge of what was coming, the darkly-furred Dragon King stepped out from Harmodius' audience.

And, indeed, there was his target. The Dragon King tensed, and there was just a bit of butt wriggling, too, though Ti Lung would be the first to actually deny it.

Any hope of that nice, relaxing walk was dashed when Xun leaped at his brother. "GOTCHA !"

Well, in lack of Zhijian about, one had to serve as instigator, no ?  

[Syrie]

Even as Xun was filling his lungs to shout, even as Ti Lung's muscles bunched and released to propel his scaled body at Xia Lu Ling, Yu's sensitive nose and ears caught wind of something happening and the Emblem Pillar's great head turned just in time to catch a face-full of Lifewater.

"GOTCHA!" Yu the Five Claws staggered under the weight, falling heavily onto the flooring in front of Harmodius' now-closed doors. 'XUN!" The Dragon King roared his brother's name and wound his darkly-furred limbs around the other's; if Brother Xun wanted a wrestling match, Brother Xun was going to get a wrestling match!

Yu was only all too happy to participate, no matter how dignified he might appear to mortals, when it came to Harmodius and the other Dragon Kings, Yu was a giant puppy - eager to please and twice as playful.  

[A Wandering Esper]

Oh, the two brothers were about as far from dignified as one could be at this moment, but Xun certainly couldn't have cared less ! He laughed when Yu simply started to wrestle back, and he pushed his brother to the side so that they would end up tumbling on the soft grass rather than right in front of their master's door.

"About time you decided to come out. I was starting to get leg cramps." Ti Lung snorted.
