Our Favorite Perch
Geia was sitting on the roof of D-Corp once more, the place that he and Vorel went whenever he was needed to clear his head and get some good thinking in. He was sitting on the edge of the building, feet dangling off the side, watching the ground belong. He let his eyes close and he could almost feel the sensation of diving rapidly down toward that ground once more and a sighing sound escaped him.
"What was I thinking, Vorel? Challenging Keir like that..." He murmured, wings giving a little flutter. It was a strange feeling, the anger he'd felt toward the Black when he'd made it sound as though he were more of a nuisance then anything to Chath. He'd been so... mad but it was merely a cover for the worry he felt that perhaps it was the truth. After talking with the newt he did feel a bit better about them, even a little giddy perhaps that they would be able to start to hang out like a real couple and do things that couples did. He didn't want to admit that he was, in a way, a little jealous of his brother. Ter had a more hands on sort of relationship with Zyanya that he couldn't have with Chath due to his sensitive skin. He wanted to be allowed to curl on with him, snuggle on him... but because they couldn't do that while a bit of a shame, wasn't something that made him want them to break up. Especially now that he really understood what he felt for the newt, that he loved him.
Vorel tilted his head to the side before he leaned forward to catch hold of a lock of the owl's hair to give it a little tug, "Ligeia acted... to brave for my liking." He admitted, he didn't like that he could have been hurt by the Black Dragon, he liked even less that the run in with Keir had forced him to look at Keir, really look at him, and see him for what he truly was. He was dangerous to those around him, just like Aullol was. He didn't want to see his owl hurt by another of that Flight, Aullol had taken the sky from Ligeia for a time, making him unable to fly. He wouldn't allow for such a thing again even if it meant giving up his friendship with Keir.
The owl couldn't help but to laugh, "To bravely for my liking too, I don't like doing things like that. I would rather just remain at peace." He said, leaning back against the Frost, one hand moving over his glassy scales. He didn't like fighting, if he had to raise a hand he didn't want it to be against someone he would have to deal with on many occasions in the future.
The Frost gave a nod of his head, glad to hear that the owl didn't want to try something like that again though the question remained did Keir want to do it again? What had truly happened between the owl and the Black was still something he didn't know passed what he'd been told. Ligeia had merely said that the two of them no longer saw eye to eye, something akin to jealousy had ruined the delicate balance that they had between them though it had never been more then the Black dealing with the owl due to a common bond. Vorel shook his head and gave a snort, "No more fighting Black Dragons, you have a bad habit of it." He complained, giving his hair a tugging.
There was a soft giggle from the owl, "Its not like I plan it, Vorel!" He said, turning so that he could give his dragon and hug, nuzzling against his glassy scales, "It was... kind of you, to bring Chath up into the air when I was facing off against Keir." He told the Frost quietly, he was thankful that he was being kind to others, he was always glad that the Frost had been such. He let others ride on his back, let little kids crawl all over him, and stood by him as a partner. He was blessed by that.
"For you, anything." The Frost said, nuzzling against him as well, determined that his boy wouldn't have to stand against any other Black Dragons on his own again. If it came down to it, if Keir decided he would once more bully Ligeia then he would do what he had to do to protect the owl, no matter what he had to do... he was as Ligeia was, he didn't like to fight but that didn't mean he couldn't. He was big, strong, and had plenty of practice in the duels between himself and the over zealous Wyvern that he shared a home with. Keir fought often enough with Baroness and Baroness in turn started things with Vorel, it must mean then that he stood a chance against the Black... not to mention he well versed in using his breath weapon due to often helping out Ligeia with his magic practice, "What shall we do next?"
Ligeia turned to return to his perch, looking over the area before him, "I was thinking about taking more magic classes, I have taken a few already and I have done a lot of self study but there is so much more to learn. I want to do just that. What about you?" He asked of the dragon.
Vorel tilted his head to the side at the question before he gave a dragon's version of a shrug, "I will follow you, Ligeia. We will learn together." He murmured, looking out over the lands before them as well then pushed to his feet, "The sun is setting, we should head for home as dinner will be soon." He sounded more eager about dinner then he did about discussing his future plans as he was still in need of time to think on those.
"Your right." He said, pushing up to his feet then jumped over to land on his back, "Shall we?"
There was a nod from the dragon as he moved forward to jump off the side of the building, soon taking to the air and moved in the direction that would take them home.

Casting & Flying
It had been some time since he'd met up with the magic teacher and had been given a good push in the right direction. He could only do so much with his own thoughts but bouncing ideas off of his teacher had been a lot of help and he had been working on the spell that had been suggested to him since. A shield spell, created from the ice that he could create and manipulate, made easier to do with a combination of the crystal Zyane had let him borrow as well as Vorel who would help to give him more ice by using his breath weapon up into the air so that Ligeia could use it as a base.
All in all the toughest part of the spell seemed to be keeping the thickness of it even all the way across as well as the fact that the attempts he'd done to begin with seemed to thin and were a little on the brittle side, shattering under the slightest assault which didn't exactly make them all that useful as far as protection was concerned. It was exhausting work given as hard as the owl was pushing himself but it was work that he could be proud of. He loved his magic, loved to see what he could do with it, and no matter how tired he was at the end of the day, how much he ached, he knew that he could take a hot shower and get some sleep and he'd be ready to try again the next day.
He lifted his hands and the shield he'd created lifted up and spun in a quick manner in a clockwise manner. It helped to have it moving in such a manner, it made it so that the side of it was even all over and a perfect circle, "Alright, ready Vorel?" He asked, looking at the dragon that was sitting in front of him seeming to be waiting for his part.
The dragon nodded his head, jumping up to his feet before he nodded rapidly, "Yes, I am!" He said, tail swishing before he drew a deep breath into his lungs, there was a moment before a bit of thick, foggy hair started to trickle out of his mouth. He then released the frozen air in a blast that went first toward the owl and crashed into the shield that he was holding out in front of him.
Ligeia gave a gasping sound before he pushed forward against the shield with his magic to keep it up, it was cracking across the surface but it was keeping together better then the last time they had tested this out. The breath attack ran out and just as it did the shield shattered, going in all directions and the owl landed on his backside with an 'omph' sound. He blinked a couple times before he gave a bit of a chuckle, "Owwie... well... I don't think that was so bad, gonna have a sore butt but aside from that..."
Vorel was laughing as he came over and wrapped his tail around the boy's middle and lifted up and then set him down on his fuzzy feet once more, "Heh, at least it caught you." The Frost teased, grinning and showed a lot of sharp teeth.
The owl stuck his tongue out at the dragon before he flexed his hands, "Do we want to try that again? Or should we take a break?" He asked of his dragon partner.
The blue dragon titled his head to one side seeming to be thinking about it for a long moment, tail swishing behind him in a thoughtful manner before he finally shook his head in the negative. He didn't want for his owl to push himself any farther that he'd already pushed for the day. He enjoyed helping him out but he knew that Ligeia would keep going if someone didn't stop him, "We should go flying." He told him, thinking that it would be more fun for them to enjoy the expansive blue sky instead of spending anymore time being magicians.
Ligeia tilted his head back, looking up at the sky before he smiled, "That does sound nice." He murmured, giving a flap of his wings and lifted him up and landed on Vorel's back, "Come on, lets go!"
The dragon nodded, turning around and started to run forward, taking only as many steps as he had to before he pushed off. The Frost caught a good up draft and soon enough the pair were high up in the sky, above the clouds and enjoying themselves greatly.

A Calming Voice
Ligeia perched up on the top of the D-Corp building, starring out over the area around where the building stood before he looked over at where his dragon next to him. He reached a hand out to pat it on his head then scratched him under the chin. He reached over to the bag that he carried, digging into it and got out his phone to look at it, "Hrm." He went clicking through the list of numbers that he had on the blue colored phone with the snowflake sticker on the back of it.
"Huh... I think I might call him." He murmured, flicking back to the top of the list as he looked at the name there. Chath Emehud. One of few that never really looked down on him, sure he'd mistaken him for a girl once but aside from that he wasn't disappointed with him. He gave a smile before he clicked on the number and let the phone call it.
THe phone was ringing and Chath was in one of those rare moments where Keir didn't want anything to do with him. Wallowing in his mud hole as the newt enjoyed soaking on his sponge bed. Jerking up he looked over to the phone, it was a new one..recently acquired cell phone as he felt he should have one since ..well...he was out so much if he got to the point where he collapsed he didn't think Keir would really be that helpful.
Flipping it over he answered it with a click and held it to his head. "Hello?"
The owl gave a little smile when he heard the voice on the other end of the line, even just the one single word was more then enough to cause him to relax that much more after his rather trying Magic Class. He blinked a couple times when he realized he hadn't responded and his cheeks colored a little, "Ahh... hello Chath." He greeted the newt at long last, his wings giving a little flutter behind him.
Chath perked right up, rolling a stiff shoulder as if he was expecting to go out and get more exercise. "Hey Geia! What's up?" He asked sounded delighted in hearing the owl boy's voice. After all it was his boyfriend.
"Not much, I'm sitting up on top of D-Corp's roof thinking some things." He said, looking out over the scenery once more as he heard the happiness in Chath's voice, something that pleased him to no end. That he sounded so happy to hear from him made the owl happy in return, "I just got out of class..." He trailed off for a long moment, seeming to fall back into deep thought for a moment before asking, "Do you... feel I should have done more against Auloll?"
Chath only chuckled at the mention of his boyfriend being on a tall building. Not surprised in the least he shifted and began to pace as it was habit to keep moving even a little whilst on the phone.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you called me from the Eiffel tower.." He chuckled and he was about to ask Geia about the type of class he had been in when he heard the rest of the sentence.
"Wha...why do you bring that up?" He inquired slowly, after all he had a arm torn off by that particular dragon. He flexed his rather newly regrown hand in an antsy fashion.
"I mean you did what you could right? No one could of asked for more." He ..continued slowly, "Heck..non of us were really ready to fight something of that magnitude....not then."
"My teacher today... it was a bit like... sparring would be for you and Ter but with magic... the spells he used against me were rather intimidating, frightening. Spells that could seriously injure or kill someone." He said, chewing on his lower lip for a moment, "I... was told I can't defend forever because inevitably my shields will fall and I can't protect the people I love if I don't fight..." He didn't want to fight but if he were able to do what Zyane could do would he have been able to help Chath back then? It wasn't fair at all to think in such a manner because his powers weren't as developed then as they were now but he couldn't help to question himself. If somehow they ended up in a situation like that he could hurt or kill someone else to keep Chath safe?
"What do you think? Would you strike out at someone else to protect me?" He asked of the newt in a curious manner.
Chath was silent, he could tell by the way Geia was talking that he had been thinking a lot about this...and he was uncomfortable at the idea of hurting people. He didn't want Geia to have to resort to hurting people.
"Well I dunno about that, I mean I guess if he is a teacher he'd know best but..you shouldn't have to hurt people to pro.." He was about to continue to reassure him when the last question popped up. "Yes." He replied instantly and without hesitation then he seemed to back off a bit sounding sheepish, "I mean...well..yeah. I wouldn't want to hurt people...but..I mean if they are out to hurt you...I'd stop them."
He gave a bit of a smile, "I don't want to hurt anyone but... I know that there are bad people in the world. I don't want to be powerless if I end up in a dangerous situation again but at the same time I wonder if I have it in me to cast spells like that." He said, sounding as though he were musing to himself. Could he really use something like the Icy Maiden? Could he cast a spell that could cast serious harm to a person if it meant saving someone else? Would he attack if it meant saving Chath from more pain?
"I hate the idea of hurting people... but I wonder if I should concentrate more on those I would be helping? What do you think? I go back for a follow up class tomorrow and... I don't want to give up on magic after all. Its been part of my life for so long." He murmured then gave a nod of his head, trying to steel himself.
The newt was chewing on his lower lip. It HURT. Quite a bit..he needed to stop that. "I dunno, I mean you don't have to use your magic to hurt people. It's your choice Geia. If you don't want to don't feel pressured into it. I don't want you to resent your magic...your far too talented for that. "I mean...you can always ask if there are ways of ..using less...dangerous spells? I don't know Geia...all I know is if I was trying to protect you I'd do everything in my power to. I cannot say for certain if I can bring myself to physically maim or send a person to the hospital..but...I'd do what I could."
"Thank you Chath, talking with you always seems to help when I get stuck." He murmured, giving a little flutter of his wings, "You seem to be one of the few people that looks at me without being disappointed or thinking I need to change myself, it means a lot to me."
He pushed himself up to his feet, stretching out his wings, "I will have to talk with the guy tomorrow to figure out what my next step in my training is." He just couldn't allow his teacher to forcefully lead his training, he would need to try to steel himself and walk his own path instead of being influenced and shoved around by those around him. He smiled again, ears tufts wiggling, "Thank you Chath."
Chath felt a sigh of relief go through him, after all Geia sounded happier. "Yeah no problem Geia...hey when did you want to get together next? I am sure Keir may be nice enough to cut m a break to see my boyfriend." He laughed, though..knowing Keir it could also be very unlikely to happen.
The owl blinked a couple times before he couldn't help but to chuckle, "Yeah, I'm sure that he would happily let you come and see me, I know how much he loves me after all." He said with a bit of a chuckle. After all if there was anyone in the world that really hated him and wanted a piece of him it was Keir since Geia for stealing Chath away to play when he should be training.
Chath beamed happily and nodded his head, "Why not call me after you speak to your teacher tomorrow? You can rant or maybe it will be a better class." He was trying to be encouraging to his boyfriend.
"Maybe I should sneak over tomorrow, break you out of your own training, and sneak you off to do something more amusing?" He asked of the newt, unable to keep from laughing just a little bit at the look that he was sure to be on the face of the dragon if he discovered that Chath had slipped away from him to play with the owl again. He would hope that the class tomorrow would go better then it had today, he would at least be ready for it if nothing else.
Chath only smiled and nodded his head ..mostly to himself. "we'll see how far we get..you know how persistent Keir can be about training. He doesn't exactly approve of our alone time.." He murmured with a sigh, "But I'll talk to you tomorrow. Miss ya lots."
The owl couldn't help but to flush a bit when Chath told him that he missed him lots, his wings gave a rapid flutter and he smiled brightly, "Yeah, tomorrow." He said, "I miss you and love you, Chath." He told him happily into the phone, his heart thudding in his chest in a happy manner. He was feeling a lot better, ready again to go back to class instead of fleeing from it and not going back. He didn't want to be a weak after all, he wanted to get stronger, wanted to be better with his magic.
Chath smiled and managed I love you too before the phone was hung up. It always made his heart thud against his chest when he said that. He only hoped that Geia's next class would be better.

One of Those Loud Meals
Terpsichore was in a mood that was foul enough that it could easily hold its own against Baroness's temper Maria thought to herself, sitting next to Ligeia at the table, watching as the snake ate in a slow, deliberate manner, stabbing each piece of food as though it had done something to seriously offend him. Her ear gave a little twitch before she scooped up a bite of her mean, with her spoon then licked it off that spoon with her tongue, "Your grumpy too, Ter." She told him.
"Whatever, mind your business brat." He hissed, flicking his forked tongue out at the little pangolin before he stabbed another piece of his steak.
Ligeia looked over at Ter for a long moment before his wings gave a twitch, "Don't call her that, just because you in a bad mood doesn't mean you can take it out on a little kid." The owl said, giving his younger but larger and more aggressive brother a long look. It was clear that while he was unamused by what Ter was doing and saying that he wasn't going to let his temper get the best of him... unlike the cobra who seemed to be nothing but testy the passed few days.
The cobra turned his stare to the owl and gave him a long glare, "Why don't you just shut up Ligeia, your not her mother! your not even a chick as much as you wish that you were!" He spat out, hands slamming down on the table, hood opening up, "As much as pretend otherwise your her goddamn brother! So why don't you starting acting like one you queer little..."
"That is enough! All of you!" Orpheus said, raising his voice in a manner that wasn't something he did to often but it would seem as though it were time for him to do so, "Ligeia stop trying to do my job for me, its alright I promise I can handle it, Maria don't bother Ter when hes in a bad mood it just makes it worse, and damn it Ter! You will not talk to either of your siblings like that again! I know your upset because Baroness is still missing but that is no reason to take it out on them. She was in a bad mood and is likely out stretching her wings somewhere taking care of whatever it is that is bothering her."
There was silence around the table before Maria looked from person to person to person, "Ahh... I think that Baroness just wanted a walk to clear her head. I saw her when she went out into the field, its really big out there so maybe she got lost?" She suggested in a helpful manner before she started to again.
Three sets of eyes turned to look over at Maria, all wide with disbelief, "Wait... what?" Orpheus asked first.
"You knew where she went?" Ter asked next, leaning over to catch hold of her hand in between bites, "When did you see her? And in what direction did she go? Was she alright?" He asked in a rush, hating that the one he'd told to mind her business was the one that apparently knew where his wyvern had gone.
She looked up at him, spoon hanging off her nose, "Yep! She left a couple days ago, looked like she needed to walk to cool her head like you always do Teri! So she went out for a walk in the field... I'd of ashed when she was coming home but she was roaring and yelling in Draconic so I left her be." She told him, all while keeping the utensil balanced there.
"Alright, but where? Where in the field its huge!" Even just walking she could make it quite a distances in a couple of days and he wasn't even sure what time she'd set out... and it was dark now so even if they headed out it was unlikely they would spot her so that meant letter her stay out another night until the sun came up and he could organize a search.
Maria took her spoon off her nose and pointed, "That way! She seemed to be heading away from town. Which is odd... that is where she had been going lately to get food." She said, head tilting to one side as she seemed to be trying to appear as though she were thinking deeply on the reasoning behind why Baroness went in a new direction, "Maybe she was bored with town food."
"Huh... yeah, maybe." He murmured, slouching in his seat and seemed to go off into his own world as he tried to remember if anything interesting was off in the direction she'd gone but he couldn't really think of anything aside from a lot of acres of grassy fields that way. Maybe she was trying to hunt something bigger then dogs? Deer perhaps? It could be, "I will wait until noon, if she isn't back by then I am gonna borrow Vorel and find her." He told Ligeia, not even bothering to ask.
The owl just gave him a long look, wondering if Vorel would agree so easily to help Ter out as hard a time as the snake was always giving to Ligeia... and more so as grouchy and snappish as Baroness had been Vorel lately. He supposed they would just have to see come noon tomorrow...

With Chath: Part One
There wasn't much to say or do, well the latter was a lie, actually Chath was idly trying to keep Keir from splattering acid everywhere in his annoyance that they were meeting with Chath's boyfriend.
"You didn't have to come you know..." Chath stated for the hundredth time, the black was just growling and pacing back and forth as if this tactic would intimidate Chath enough to go back to their training session.
Not come...laughable. I will not let you just go and waste time like this. The black snorted, annoyed enough that he was drooling acid. The split splat of the drool hitting the cement and causing small holes.
"Will you stop that. All the sidewalks are going to be ruined because of you." Chath sighed as he shifted and kept moving, stretching at least this seemed to ease the antsy part of Keir ...even if a bit.
Despite a touch of fatigue from the class and the early morning he'd had Ligeia was in a surprisingly good and cheery mood but then again it was only a rare thing from time to time when any other mood crept up on him, normally when he got overwhelmed by things and ended up panicking which seemed to be the default emotion for the owl when he got upset over things. That was yesterday, today was his normal, cheery self and he was happily clinging to Vorel's neck, hanging off of it as they walked along in a manner the Frost found to be amusing. He knew why his owl was in such a good mood both because he was feeling confident with his magic once more but more importantly it was the fact that they were going to meet with the owl's mate, it was a thing that anyone would be happy about.
"I am glad you are happy again." He said, tail swishing as they came out of the elevator on the ground floor, walking toward the front door. He really was, seeing Geia happy made the Frost happy just as seeing him upset seemed to make Vorel instantly upset as well though his upset was complete with claws, teeth, and freezing breath...
"I really am! I can't wait to see him, it feels like forever!" Sure it wasn't nearly that long but it didn't mean it didn't feel that way. If he had his way they would always be together... he was quite sure that if he were always with Chath that Keir was likely to have a fit... not that the owl cared to much aside from the fact the Black had a foul temper like Auloll and drooled acid.
Vorel lowered his head to let Geia down onto his feet and the owl pushed through the front door of D-Corp, letting the Frost out. As was usual with Ligeia, despite the weather being colder, he was in what he often wore. A tank top, capri pants, barefoot because he'd taken off his sandals after class, and the silver bracelet he rarely took off unless he had to for class or he was taking a shower. Cold endurance was useful for never having to wear warm clothing unless it was something he wanted because it was pretty.
Chath also had to keep moving for other reasons than to keep Keir satisfied and focused on him. With the cooler weather he tended to slow down he was part amphibian after all...and cold meant that he slowed down quite a bit. He couldn't add layers like other people, his skin was far too sensitive for that. Though his feet were wrapped in bandages, best he could do to give better protection against the cold. Same with his arms. He stretched and kept moving only pausing when he spotted Geia and his dragon Vorel come out of the door of the D-corp building.
"Geia!" He called out with a wave about to come over when a flash of acid landed in front of his path. Keir was ticked. Great.
"How was your lesson?" He called out putting his hands behind his head and fingering his dragon so the owl couldn't see.
Ligeia turned to look over to where the Newt was standing and almost instantly he was flushed in excited and delight seeing him standing there, "Chath." He murmured, moving over toward him, seeing the way that the Black Dragon seemed to be trying to keep them apart with acid spit he gave a little sigh and a shake of his head before he bounced over the puddle with a flap of his wings, then landed in front of the taller boy. He paused for a moment, gazed up at him, then smiled, "It went much better today." He said, wings fluttering in a delighted manner and one could tell that he was a half a step away from pouncing on the newt but he was trying his hardest to behave since Keir was there.
Keir gave a rumbling sound...resigning to the fact that his boy and...his...'girlfriend' were now making kisses faces at each other. He laid down sullenly grumbling and rumbling taking his anger out on D-corps planters.
Chath felt his own face warm up considerably as Geia was suddenly in front of him.
"W..well that is good! I take it ..the phone call to me had something about it?" He stated cheerfully, moving his hand down to take one of the owl boys lightly.
Ligeia nodded his head, "Yeah, talking to you helped me calm down a lot and I was able to get some sleep until..." He trailed off, looking over at Keir for a moment before lifting up onto his tip toes before whispering to the newt, "Has Ter called you yet?" He asked in a hushed tone of voice, not wanting for Keir to hear him, not even one word of what he'd just said was to reach the Black Dragon because that could spell disaster...
Vorel turned to look over at the dragon who was making short work of the planters before giving a slight shake of his head, as temperamental as always the Frost thought to himself, sitting down on his haunches to watch him silently. Best to keep an eye on him, to make sure he didn't try to pick on his own anymore.

With Chath: Part Two
Chath nodded his head slightly to indicate that yes Ter had called him, "Yeah..did he find Baroness?" He inquired as he was a bit on the concerned side, since well...Ter did call him of all people to ask for his help. The situation had seemed fairly serious.
The black's gaze was latched onto Chath's back as if glaring at it would suddenly turn the boy straight and manly.
Geia starred at the newt for a long moment, he would take that as a no... he looked over at Keir for a long moment, a somewhat uncertain look in his eyes before he lifted up a hand to catch hold of some of Chath's hair, pulling him down so he could whisper in his ear, "Maria found three eggs, Chath." He told his boyfriend, he should know what was going on since those eggs did belong half to his partner after all.
Chath could be a bit dense at times, he knew Maria if only vaguely and he obviously knew what eggs were...but he didn't make the connection between eggs and Baroness right away.
"Oh? Robin eggs? Or chicken eggs? its a bit early for Easter..." He started off as he thought the subject was changing rather quickly. He looked...confused. And his reply showed that much.
Geia starred at the newt for a long, long time before he lifted his hand up to his mouth... he couldn't help it as he started to giggle, hard. He had been worried that Chath was going to react badly, freak out, over heat, pass out, but instead he just stood there asking what sort of eggs it was that he had found, "Oh, Chath... I love you." He said, giving a little shake of his head. He could be so oblivious, couldn't he? But then again he supposed that the newt was likely not thinking about what Geia knew as the truth.
He lifted a hand to motion at Keir, "She found EGGS Chath." He said again, still in a quiet voice, waiting to see if the newt got it this time.
Chath tilted his head looking obviously confused and befuddled, yes they had established...the young girl had founds eggs. EGGS even. So...what was so...oh. Light bulb.
Eyes widening he took a step back and steadied himself. "What??" he asked incredulously, before he lowered his voice and then moved in closer to Geia. "Are you serious??" He whispered harshly.
"I haven't seen them but Vorel has, he told me that they smelled like Baroness and well... from what I gather Keir is the only one she has shown... well 'that' sort of interest in." He murmured back, giving the Black Dragon another glance, "I can't say I know what happened to them though, Vorel said they were taken away by techs but that they had been cold for some time so they didn't know if they would make it." It was a sad thing, even though it was certain they would be monstrous things it would be sad if all of the eggs expired after Maria tried so hard to help them.
Chath couldn't help but feel a bit relieved. He felt horrible about it...but at the same time a creature....Baroness and Keir together...spawned...would be hell on earth he was fairly sure. But how to say that without sounding heartless..
"Well..I suppose it will be fate if they make it. I am sure the techs will do what they can." He stated quietly. He was pretty sure Keir wouldn't care...
Ligeia nodded his head, "Yes, I am sure. I just thought that you might want to know since... well I don't know if Ter would remember to call or even thing to call." He said, then drew back from him, smiling up at the newt in a happy manner, wings giving a little flutter. He had told him the news so now that it was out of the way he was going to relax once more, be cheerful once more, "Do we want to start walking? I learned today that I need to work on building up more stamina once again."
Chath seemed distracted, as if this news was something he should fret over. Eggs? ....it was unlikely they would survive. But what if they did? What little monsters would be born from Keir and Baroness's one time fling?
"uh..what?" he asked shaking his head a bit, he nodded slowly as he had been standing too still for too long and felt his brain slowing down.Perhaps that was the reason why he was so slow on the hints today.
"Yeah..I mean yes lets get moving. Where did you want to go?"
Geia looked up at him before giving a smile, "Where? Probably somewhere indoors and warm." He suggested, which he didn't mind the weather he knew that Chath wasn't a fan of the cold, knew that it bothered him, and as such he wanted to go where the newt would be comfortable, "We can either go for a walk or fly to get to some where else, maybe somewhere we can get lunch? Or maybe sneak into one of the terrain rooms?" He suggested, he had keys into them that he'd gotten from his father a long while back that he still used from time to time.
The idea of getting food was appealing, but given Keir's temperament he figured the terrain room would probably be a better option. At least the black could be destructive there and no one would terribly mind.
"How about we grab a snack and head for a terrain room, they have a cafeteria at the facility?" He asked as he had never personally eaten there before so he had no idea.
He gave a nod of his head, "The food is actually better then you would think." He said, after having lived so long in the apartments of the place he had eaten here quite often so he knew where they could find food before heading up to the terrain room. He turned to look over at his partner and smiled, "Vorel! We are going to get a snack then head to the Terrain rooms, do you want to go on ahead?" He called to the dragon, knowing that he could get around on his own and knew which floor had the terrain rooms, "Probably the field one with the stream." He suggested, knowing that one would give the dragons the most to do.
Vorel nodded his head, pushing up to his feet before looking over at Keir, "Are you going with me or them?" He asked as he made his way toward the doors, curious if Keir would go with him or stalk after the happy couple.
Geia turned back to the newt, giving him a smile before taking Chath's hand in his, leading the way toward the front doors, "Lets go inside and get you warmed up." He said with a bright smile.
Keir had risen to his feet looking non too pleased though when the question was poised at him by the frost, his gaze moved from Vorel to Chath and back to Vorel. The dragon was dumb. Chath ..was ...in kissy face mode. He'd take his chances with the moronic dragon.
You.. He rumbled looking quite pissed all the same.
Chath was surprised and a bit worried about letting Keir wander off...after all he was a black dragon... and telling him to behave was like poking a hornets nest.
"Yeah we'll be there soon." He echoed Geia instead.
Ligeia watched as Vorel headed inside with the Black Dragon and found himself hoping that the Frost wouldn't tell Keir about his potential children, he was sure that Vorel would say anything... he hoped. He pushed the thought aside before walking along once more, leading the way inside where the temperatures were much higher and as such he hoped that Chath would feel more comfortable. The first thing he did was lead the way to where food could be found. The moment he could smell it his stomach gave a little rumble, "Ahh... heh. Seems that my class made me rather hungry." He said with a giggle.
Chath couldn't help but have his gaze linger on the black until he was out of sight. Like a fretting mother he fidgeted a bit as they walked and soon snapped out of it when he looked down at Geia. The food itself smelt better than he had expected and as he warmed up he felt the hunger gnaw at his belly as well.
"Haha well sounds like our stomachs are in agreement." He stated as his own stomach growled hungrily. "What should we get? Should we bring the two anything?"
The owl gave a smile as he headed forward, "There is normally a calendar set up that has on it what is going to be served any given day, as well as some other snacks and stuff to be had. I could go for any of it." Or all of it he added mentally before going to look at the paper, curious what was being served today as the main lunch meal, "Says... pizza. Ooo, cool I rather like that." He looked over at Chath, "What about you? What do you think?" He wondered what the newt thought of that option he found himself wondering, wanting to learn more and more about his boyfriend so that he could know all there was to be had about his boyfriend.
Chath's own eating habits he preferred...bugs. Often seen eating bugs off the wall, or if he caught them in general. He often went for escargot when able to find any. But since non of those were on the menu he looked it over and shrugged. Pizza would be fine, he'd probably eat that. Had he..eaten pizza before? Now that he thought on it..no he hadn't.
"Never had it." He replied honestly, "But if you like it I am sure I will." He replied with a nod of his head.
A flushed colored the owl's cheeks as Chath said that if Geia liked pizza that he was sure he would as well. His wings fluttered behind him before he led the way into the cafeteria and over to where they could get some food. It looked quite good, had a couple of types of toppings, and Ligeia happily took the one with the various types of meat on it to put that on his plate along with a few other things, some snack foods, and a bottle of juice, "I have some money with me so I can pay today." He could use the fact that he was Orpheus's son as a way of getting a discount since he was a teacher. Always nice to get a discount on their food, "We should get something at least for the dragons to snack on so they don't feel left out." It didn't matter to much what it was for Vorel as he would prepare it how he wanted it which was flash frozen an crunchy.
Right these things cost money, it hadn't occurred to him to bring cash, so his face reddened in embarrassment though he coughed into his hand and nodded his head.
"Th..thanks. I'll pay next time." He assured more himself than the owl. He ..had no idea what to get for toppings...so he just copied Geia opting for a bottle of water than juice.
"Should we eat here? I am sure the dragons can wait a few more minutes."
Ligeia gave a nod of his head, "Sure, that sounds nice! Like a lunch date." He said, wings fluttering as he got out his wallet from the back he carried, paying for what all they got. His prepackaged snacks were put into his bag along with his wallet before he motioned to one of the tables, "We can go sit over there and talk, it will be nice." He was sure that Keir would be unhappy when they took forever getting there before the two of them were enjoying a nice meal but the owl was all for stealing Chath away from the Black Dragon as often as possible since he liked their alone time.
Chath nodded his head, following the owl like a lost puppy may, really he was just flustered at labeling this a lunch date. It he wasn't careful he could over heat and pass out...he didn't really want to do that. As soon as they sat down he unscrewed the lid to his water and took a couple mouthfuls before he went to check on the water bottle attached at his hip. Half full....he needed to fill it.
He seemed to be waiting though as he settled down beside Geia. As if waiting for the owl to eat first.
The owl watched as the newt gulped from the water bottle he got before he gave a bit of a smile, "The terrain room that Vorel is going to has a stream in it." He told Chath, smiling at his boyfriend for a moment before adding in a manner that was 'totally innocent', "Its a shame that Vorel and Keir will be there, huh? We could go swimming otherwise." He couldn't help but to tease him just a little, Chath was so cute when he got flustered and flushed.
He turned to his food after say that and picked up his pizza, taking a big bite out of it and chewed on it, ear tufts wiggling happily as he chewed and swallowed it. He was quite hungry so the owl happily munched on a few bites without saying anything, wanting to take the edge off of his hunger. He set it down, took a drink of his juice, then turned to look at Chath to see what he thought of it.
