After his talk with Zyanya at the mall, a lot of thinking on how he was supposed to do this along with a bit of sewing so that he could get the outfit that Zyanya picked out for him done Ligeia was sure that he was ready to talk to Chath... ok not really ready but he at least felt as if he could face him. This had to be done, he didn't want for anything to go any farther then they already had, he didn't want to hurt Chath but he had to know. After all when would be a better time for the guy to figure it out after they were married? Geia giggled at the thought then shook his head, no... no laughing, not jokes this was serious!
He'd gotten the address for where Chath lived and left home in the early afternoon, flying there himself. Even Vorel had been left behind to wait for him, he'd snagged one of the many trinkets that his father had to give to Keir, everything so that he could get time alone with his friend so that they could talk one on one without any outside destractions or interferance. No matter what was to come it would be best if it were just himself and Chath, nobody else.
He looked down at the house from where he was fluttering before he headed down in lazy circles landing in front of the door before be brushed away invisible dust from himself. He hesitated for only a moment before lifting a hand to knock.

Chath had been training in his room. Lifting weights had become a ritual, as well his other aerobic excercises. His gift that he bought Ligeia sat neatly on his bed. The scarf all folded up and the bracelet sitting on top of it. Since he had gotten it on his shopping adventure with Fleur, he still hadn't gotten the nerve to give it to Ligeia. Was he being too, presumtious? A pretty girl like her must alreay have someone she liked.
He gave a bit of a laugh, Keir raised his head lazily in responses wondering what Chath was thinking and then laid ti back down. What did he care? it was Keir who heard the knock on the door, he raised his body off the floor and walked out the door and down the hall to the front hallway.
Chath blinked as he turned and watched Keir get up and leave. it was then that he heard the knock on the door. Oh. someone was here. Putting down the weights he grabbed his towel and wiped the presperation that had gathered on his face, he was currently only wearing shorts and no shirt. he usually over heated too easily while he worked out. Spraying a quick squirt of water on himself he then went to answer the door.
A hapy skip of his heart as he noticed throught the side window it was Ligeia? He saw wings and just presumed it must be the snowy owl girl. Opening the door though, he stopped. Um. He certianly ...resemebeled Ligeia...but...there was a much more definately maleness to this guy.
With a smile and slight tilt of his head,
"Hello. Um do i know you?"

Ligeia's wings wilted a little at the question, as there that much of a difference between him now and him in his normal attire? Zyanya had eluded to as much but he'd not thought... not thought that Chath wouldn't even know how he was, "I... erm..." He couldn't seem to get the words out at first, failing the first try before he lowered his head, "Its... umm... Me. Ligeia." He finally got out.
The owl boy's hands clasped tightly behind his back, nervous before he forced his gaze to rise once more, "I... ahh... I have to talk to you." He said, trying to force down that small part of him that just wanted to run. It was to late to run now it would only make things worse since Chath had already seen him.

Chath felt embaressed. Even if the clothes were different from what she normally wore he definately wouldn't mistake her voice for anyone elses.
"I am sooo sorry!" he apologized profusly. Taking her arm he lead her inside. "Glad your here actually, i have a present for you!" he continued a bit ahead of himself, once inside he closed the door and then stopped himself from jogging to his room.
"Oh...right you wanted to talk?" He said with a grin, "sorry about the greeting at the door. You just look so different today. Your clothes I mean." he said with a laugh. thoguh something was bugging him int he back of his head.

Ligeia let himself get lead in, listening closely and watching the way that Chath acted. How had he not noticed it before? Was he that blind? He must have been, "A... what? Present?" He asked, eyes going wide. Oh no... that was even worse. Chath no doubt thought that he was getting a present for a pretty girl not a guy who didn't even look the right gender.
He looked up at him, "I... I am sorry I didn't know that clothing made such a big deal." He said, brushing a hand over his pant-leg if just to occupy his hands for a moment, "I didn't really think about it." He felt as if he should be appoligizing more, repeatedly.

Chath smiled, and said the first thing that came to mind.
"Well your normally wears skirts. Its a nice change. Makes you look more tomboyish!" he siad with a grin that could only be Chath. Even...with the change of apparel he was still convinced Ligeia was a girl. No boy he had ever met had dressed cute, or acted the way Ligeia acted and thus he was still convinced he was a she.
"what made you decide to wear pants for a change?" he asked curious about hte new outfit. Was the jacket new too? Something still bugged him. though he cuoldn't figure it out what exactly it was at the moment.
"oh and yes the present is in my room! sorry i didn't get it wrapped! i you jsut wait here I will go get it!" he said as he went to go up the stairs.

Tomboyish...? Eesh, he dressed in guy clothing and still was more like a tomboy then a guy? So long as Zyanya did find out he supposed, "Oh well..." He started then blinked as Chath suddenly bolted off to find the present.
Ligeia starred a moment at the stairs before he turned to Keir and gave a wave to the black dragon, "Hello there. I was wondering if its alright with you if I could talk with Chath alone?" He asked, then dug into his pocket and pulled out a necklace with a shiny on the chain, "This is an offering for the time with your partner."
Best to nogotiate with dragons in a way that was like what he had seen in his books he had decided at home. If Keir accepted he would follow after Chath.

Chath scrambeled into his room and grabbed the presents off his bed. Hestill felt bad that he hadn't wrapped them. But then again it wasn't like he had expected Ligeia to come visit. He smiled and then realized he was still...wearing only shorts and...a towel around his shoulders. Flopping the towel down onto his bed he quickly grabbed his fishnet top and puti t on. His hair was now messed but ah well. He wa sure Ligeia wouldn't mind too much.
Keir looked to Ligeia, blinking his depthless eyes slowly. he had gathered by te sudden change in clothing what was going to happen. And though he wanted to see how Chath dealt with this new discovery he had enough brains to realize this would be easier on the owl boy if he was along with the newt.
"no...prrrrrrrooobleeem." he hissed. His english still very very rusty and not good at all. He hadn't ventured to speak in front of Chath, but well..eough said he then slinked off in the direction of the back porch.
Chath arrived in time to see Keir leave wondering why his dragon was suddenly wandering off. usually he wanted to be were the attention was. Currently he was too slow to even hide the gift behind his back and instead a beautiful scarf of purple, gradiating from dark at the ends and lightening up at the center. The ends were also covered in intercate beadwork that was silver. The bracelet was on top of it. Silver, engraved with feathers, over the surface.

"Thank you." Ligeia said, watching as the dragon went before he turned in time to see Chath coming back into the room. Any curiousity he had about when the black dragon had started to talk was pushed away when he saw what Chath was holding. The stuff was so... so... Ligeia never felt so guilty in his life, he lifted his hands up to his chest as if it were hurting before he gave a flap of his wings.
"Chath... I... I am so, so sorry." He said in a rush, taking a step back, "I am not what you think I am at all. I am... a fraud at best." He felt so dumb, he'd never thought that Ter teasing him about looking like a girl was anything more then a brother teasing his brother, he'd not thought he could look so like a girl that he could confuse someone as much as he had confused Chath.

Ah did he pick out the wrong things? He was confused by Ligeia's words. Fruad? what did she mean by that?
"you...don't like them?" he asked his tail hanging a bit limp behind him. it had been wagging slightly when he had come down. "I can exchange them if you want." he continued not wanting to make Ligeia feel uncomfertable. even though he was feeling a bit sad that she didn't like the gifts Strike one for Fleur. maybe not all girls liked similar things.

"No... I mean yes, yes they are wonderful but... I am not..." He stummbled over the words, how was he supposed to say this? No reason to just beat around the bush about this or it was only going to confuse Chath more, no reason to draw it out anymore then it had already been drug out, "Chath I'm a.... I'm a guy!" He finally got out.
Then he looked at him, meeting his gaze and waited for whatever reaction he got no matter what it was he would take it.

Chath looked at Ligeia blankly. True he was actually looking down at Ligeia, the height differences fairly different though he has just assumed it was a girl thing. He said nothing for a moment. though alarm bells finally silenced in his head, alerting him that...what had been bothering him all this time...had come true.
How culd he of missed it? Ligeia's shoulder though narrow, were still broader than a girls, the flat chest...he had jsut assumed was late development, though this shirt revealed a mans chest..not a girls underdeveloped one.
And for the first time he felt angry. Mor ewith himself than anything. he should of noticed it. the times when people DID call him a he, he had just assumed he had been msitaken in what had been spoken. all those times...he should of known...noticed...figured it out anyway!
But....Chath blushed as the thought drifted through his brain lazily. He sure was being cute for a boy! The way he was fidgeting, looking nervous. With a cough...he looked away.
"Um..." he started, not sure what to say and yet a million things wanting to explode out. "Wow...i mean...haha..jeeze how stupid can i get?" he said his eyes averting Ligeia's gaze. This was embaressing.

Ligeia stood there rather unsure of what he should do now, "D-Do... you want me to go?" He asked finally. He didn't want to make this any worse, didn't want to make Chath feel any worse, "N-no... your not stupid at all! I am... I..." He was the one who was gender confused. He took another step back, "I can go home and I won't bother you again if you want."
He hated the idea but after everything if it were what the other boy wanted he would do it. The owl's wings were flapping half heartedly, as if he were preparing to flee if given that command.

Chath swallowed. Maybe it would be best if Ligeia left. But...despite finding this out, he still liked Ligeia. Perhaps...in a different way, but Ligeia always made him feel comfertable, with himself as well as being around him. He didn't really want Ligeia to leave, not like this.
Still not looking at Ligeia, he offered the Scarf and bracelet to him. "I...got these for you because.." why? becuase he liked ligeia of course. And even if...it ...well he never pictured himself getting involved with a boy before. The silence was getting awkward and heavy.
"If you don't want them.." he continued unable to finish his first sentence. Yet he still hoped Ligeia would take the objects.
"please...take them.." he mumbeled.

Ligeia looked rather surprised when Chath didn't tell him to get lost, instead he was still trying to give him the pretty presents. The owl looked at them before stepping closer to the other boy, "I... you don't hate me?" He asked, obviously he had spent his time expecting the worst possible out come to this so not having that happen seemed to throw the owl a little bit.
He reached out to take the bracelet and scarf, looking over before giving a little bit of a smile, "So not what I was told I should wear." He said, hugging the gifts to his chest.
