He stopped under a tree and shook some of the dust off his body and turned his head to look at his friend. "So ... now that it's a hundred degrees out here what should we do?"
He didn't think that wandering about in this heat would be good for him but there wasn't much else to do. Unless they wanted to hang around here until it cooled off that is.

"You mean besides teaching you not to overexaggerate so much?" Chuckling in his usual droll fashion, Antony glanced over at his friend as he too stopped beneath the tree. Leaning his head against the trunk, Tony lifted up a wing and began to fan himself, the leathern webs providing a substantial amount of air. "Can't say anything is really leaping out at me, honestly. But isn't that the point of these little excursions?"
That was the way he'd always thought it went, barring the existence of some actually existing plan....which, as far as he knew, they had none of.

"I'm not exaggerating. It's probably that hot out here." He tried to shake his curls out of his face and failed misserably. There wasn't a thing he could do with them in heat like this.
"At least your coat's light in color. If you were this dark you'd be complaining." Shifting he got close enough that he could steal some of Tony's self created breeze. If he was going to do that he better share.

"No, if I were that dark I'd be sucking it up, since I'd theoretically be used to it." Still, Tony was grinning as he looked over at his companion; it wasn't that often that Dodger was bent out of shape like this, so he himself was taking advantage of the chance to bait him.
Still, he wasn't cruel; noticing Dodger's rather blatant mosey, Antony quipped, "You know, a bat of the eyelashes and a coy look would convey your intent with much like blatancy, Dodger." Grinning, he nevertheless tilted a wing Dodger's way, allowing the dark stallion to benefit from the breeze. "So, are you having fun bitching, or do you actually want to try and do something?"

"I was born in winter thanks much." He shook his head and glared up at the sun. "You'd be bitching just as bad. It'd mess up your hair." Just as it was messing up his own.
Turning the glare to Tony he though about kicking him for that one. "I ain't yer girlfriend. Not gonna bat my eyelashes at you even if ya asked." He grinned and shook himself out for a moment.
"Got any ideas? Cause i'm fresh out." He'd need lunch before he could think of something proper to do.

"And it can't mess up my hair now? You're so shallow when you're being vain, Dodge; all you see is yourself. And you'd make a lousy girlfriend anyway; I'd bet you'd be the clingy type."
With the air of one dismissing a weighty concern, Antony looked away from Dodger, making a slight 'shooing' motion with his wings as he himself flopped down onto the ground beside the tree. "That, and you really have no lashes. But anyway."
Leaning his head against the tree trunk, he looked sideways at Dodger with the air of one comfortable with his lot. Me either. Then again, I have no problem doing nothing."

"i'd make a better girlfriend than you." He snorted as he leaned against the tree. Laying around in the shade sounded like a good enough thing to do until it cooled off. Or until something else came along to entertain them.
"You're just a lazy a**. Spend all your time loafing around if it wasn't for me." He nudged Tony with a hoof and laughed. It wasn't true but he could prod him about it anyway.

"You're actually willing to admit you'd make a great girlfriend? That's very....brave of you, Dodger."
Yep. every time they got together, it had to happen at least once; Dodger and Tony had to harrass each other about their respective 'girliness'. Now if anyone ELSE tried to tell either of them that, things would be playing out a little differently. But it wasn't someone else, so it was all ok.
Eyeing the foot, Tony grinned toothily at his friend. "Unless you want it bit, keep it away, Dodger. and what do you have against loafing, anyway? It beats the hell out of having to be responsible."

"Just means i'm secure in my masculinity. Unlike you who wont' even admit it." He grinned down at his friend. Never ending cycle of poking each other. At least it was fun and they both got a laugh out of it.
"It's ... loafing" He scrunched his nose at the idea. "I said nothing about being responsible though. That can be left to those who actually feel the need to be so. I'd just rather not let breakfast collect somewhere unsightly. Have to keep up my figure so i can attract the girls for you"

"You keep telling yourself that when you're being cuddled by some guy called Hank, Dodger. But anyway, moving on."
Adjusting his wings slightly so that the points weren't pressing against the tree at an awkward angle, Antony made himself even more comfortable, unable to resist grinning at the undeniably girlish weight comment. "So, you're saying you don't know what you want to do, only that it involves not doing nothing?"

"Oh yes. Cause that'll so happen." He rolled his eyes before grinning down at Tony. "Sure you won't be jealous? Having to share my attention with someone else and all?"
He though about what they could do and couldn't think of anything specific. There wasn't much else they -could- do. "There has to be something we can do besides loaf around here. Someone else you know we could go hunt down? Anyone entertaining? Siblings?"
Dodgers siblings were out since his sisters were hard to find, Sedi was god knows where, and Wylie ... well that was just not a good idea.

"Believe me, if you're having those urges I'd rather you handled them elsewhere; I mean, I love you, Dodger, but like a brother. And while you're girly, I like my girls to have the right parts."
However, that usual debate was derailed slightly by Dodger's comment, the unexpectedness of that subject causing Tony to actually sit up straight and give Dodger a quizzical look. "Siblings? Damn, you really are bored, aren't you? You know full well that Neve and I would literally kill each other on sight, and Nicky's somewhere over in the general vicinity of the moutains. And last time I checked, you have troubles reaching high places." This with a pointed look at Dodger's wingless back. "If you're that bored, then why don't you go for a jog or something?"
After all, there was nothing more to say on THAT subject; Dodger knew full well that Tony wasn't about to get roped into babysitting his other siblings. Or he should.

He laughed and shook his head. "You and your girls." He'd rather just not bother with all the trouble. He'd just listen to Tony's stories.
"You've got more than them." He knew his friend didn't want to babysit his little siblings but it was something to do. "Jogging in this heat without a reason would be pointless. I'd just get tired and then have to loaf around like you." He reached up and pulled a few leaves off the tree above them to munch on.
"You can't dislike the munchikins that bad. I mean Wadi and Zuka weren't all that bad when they were little. Mostly cause they weren't mine"

The look that Antony was now aiming at Dodger clearly belied his feeling on this subject; for one that didn't really like spending time with his OWN siblings, Dodger was being awfully pushy on a subject Tony was rather set against.
"You're the one who wants to do something, Dodge; I'm the one who's FINE with just lying around, remember?" Trust Dodger to twist the fact. Grinning, Tony poked at the back of Dodger's leg with a wing, the intent to make the other stallion actually FALL over since he wouldn't lie down. But on the subject of his half-siblings...
"They're just little things right now, which I don't really have any big interest in. Besides, they're with their mother almost all the time anyway; even when Dad's with them, she is as well. And I'd rather not spend too much time around her, honestly." It was terrible for his hormones, being around Luca. If his little sister (or brother, for that matter) wound up inheriting their mother's sheer aura of sex appeal...well, they'd be living quite the life, to put it delicately.

"Don't like your step mother?" He liked his well enough, mostly because he'd never been around her since she was harder to keep in one place than Sedi. Had to have been where the other stallion got it from.
"You're fine with being a lazy oaf." At the prodding he flopped down in the grass. It wasn't like they were going to go do anything else it seemed. A nap wouldn't be that bad. He could just make Tony run it off later.
