Welcome to Gaia! ::

At the mention of eating Tural was already moving, dragging both of the boys easily through the water toward the steps that would bring them out of the pool. There was a great difference though in Tural in the water and Tural out of it, he gave a huffing sound when he had to leave the water and shuffled along in a somewhat slow going fashion. He was noticeably slower now, something that he wasn't to pleased with since it meant that he wasn't able to move as fast as he would like and on top of that he wouldn't able carry Kliken or Drez how he would like to do.

Kliken gave the dragon a pat on the head as they reached the steps and he let him go, rising to his feet, stretched out all over, and then lifted his hands up to his head to squeeze the excess water out of his hair and clothing, "I can't wait to meet your dragon as well, Drez." He told him, curious to see the one that was assigned to his friend.

"Any idea what the two of you want to eat?" He asked of both Drez and Tural though he was sure that the Cruzoor didn't care, so long as it tasted good he would be happy with anything.

Kliken gave a bit of a smile at mention of the other boy seeking him out, that had a nice sound to it since there were very few other then certain members of his family that would do that. He couldn't help but to feel a little excited that there was someone outside of his family that would do the same. He blinked as 'something sweet' was mentioned and he nodded, "Let me grab our stuff and then we can find food." He said, hurrying over to where the stuff that he and Tural had brought with them was waiting. He grabbed his towel and bag up, carrying it over to where he'd left the tri colored snake boy, "Alright, got it."

Tural looked at the back, gave a sound of delight, and went shuffling over to nudge his nose against it, sniffing, and otherwise trying to get at the treats that he knew were inside. The leech gave a bit of a laugh as he dug into the bag to get out a smaller bag which contained the algae cubes that he so loved. He took one of them out and handed it over to the Cruzoor who gave a sound as though he'd been given Heaven before he started to munch on the treat.

"He will be content with that while we find himself something bigger to eat." He told Drez, smiling as he tucked the plastic bag back into his other bag which he put over his shoulder, "Shall we?"

Tural looked up at Drez at the mention of the 'hot house' that was full of things that smelled of the algae cube. It made his stomach rumble just at the mention, that place must be full of wonderful tasting things he thought to himself and his tail set to swishing behind him in a delighted fashion. He wanted to see what one of those 'hot houses' were like if they contain such scents he thought to himself, giving a happy sort of sound as he shuffled along with the two boys, nudging against them now and again as he wanted their love and affection.

Kliken lowered a hand at each nudge to pet Tural, to reassure the little dragon that he was in fact a part of their conversation, "Tural will eat most anything but he seems to like plant material and small creatures best. He especially likes small amounts of fish or other tiny aquatic creatures." He explained, having see Tural eat a frog or two in his time that he'd been lucky enough to catch but at the same time had shown no interest in the ducks that were in the same pond.

The trio started to make their way forward, toward where a concession stand was set up with various sorts of snacks up for sale. Not the normal fare that Tural would be allowed to eat from but Kliken looked the items to see if he could find something that would be healthy enough for his dragon to eat.

Kliken gave a nod of his head as he took the gold that Drez was holding out to him and went about searching for something sufficiently sweet for the snake boy. He gave a smile as he found a bag of gummy worms, wondering if he would like them... they were sugary sweet he was guessing and they were interesting shapes as well. Along with that he bought a bag of dehydrated fruit for Tural. He opened the bag of worms and handed it over to Drez, "I hope that these will work." He said to him, also giving back the change.

He then popped open the bag of fruit and dumped some of it onto his hand, holding it out to Tural. The dragon came in closer sniffing and huffing over the sweet scents of the fruit and instantly ran his tongue over Kliken's hand and then set about chewing on the tasty treats. Watching Tural enjoy his treat made it easier for Kliken who hadn't gotten anything for himself. So long as Tural was happy he didn't so much mind his inability to share the same experiences with food as Tural and Drez were able to do. At times he cursed about it in his mind, wanted to be able to eat what everyone else ate but he knew that if he tried he would just make himself ill...

He turned his attention back to Drez after helping Tural in eating the bag of fruit at a rapid pace, "Is there anything else you want to get? Maybe something to drink? Or are you alright, Drez?"

Kliken gave a smile when it seemed that the candy he had picked out was alright, a good thing since he knew so little about candy... he gave a happy smile, "I'm glad." He had been a bit worried that he might not like them but since he was happily eating them it would appear as though that wasn't the case at all which was a relief.

He reached out to pat Tural on the head when he heard the question he was sure was coming, "I... I d-didn't... I c-can't eat normal f-food... I am on a s-sort of s-special diet." He explained, his stutter returning as it always did when he got worried, upset, or startled. The very last thing he wanted was for people to know what he ate because he knew it disgusted people, it had caused him to be brought to D-Corp many times over because his parents couldn't deal with feeding him until Lucrecia took him in, "Sorry... It was n-nice of you to offer t-to get me something."

Tural gave a little huffing sound before he nudged his nose against Kliken in an affectionate manner to calm him down, not wanting his boy to get to upset since he'd been having a lot of fun with his snake friend.

Kliken seemed visibly relieved when it seemed that is friend wasn't going to delve to deeply into what it was that he ate, something that had him smiling in a happy manner before he looked down at the candy that Drez was holding, "Ohhh... I didn't mean to get you something that might get you in trouble or make you sick... I will remember for later that you can't eat to many sweets." He promised. Kliken was the sort that remembered such details as he made it his life's work to recall such things, wanting to do everything in his power to make those around him happy. The happier people were the less likely they were to reject him...

"What sorts of things do you normally eat? So I know what to get you next time." He asked of his friend, sure that what Drez ate was by far less scary then what Kliken himself ate. Then again what Tural ate was less scary and he was a dragon he thought to himself sadly.

Kliken gave a jump when he was hugged before he relaxed and gave the snake boy a smile, returning the gesture as it was a rare thing that he got hugs aside from those that he got from his mother. To get one from someone who wasn't a family member was nice and very welcome since it made him feel... wanted. It was a feeling that he wasn't to used to and was almost afraid of since he didn't want for it to vanish which it was known to do.

He listened closely when Drez told him what he liked to eat. Fish he said, the fresher they were the better? That was an interesting though more so that he ate live ones. It almost made him feel better about what he ate which wasn't something that happened often, "I see... neat." He murmured, then tilted his head to one side when eh was asked what he ate, looking away. He had almost hoped that he wouldn't ask... but ow that he had he had the option of not answering and risking upsetting Drez... or telling him and upsetting him for other reasons.

He swallowed hard, shifted in place, then dropped his gaze, "B... I umm... I c-can... c-can only eat... b-blood..." He whispered, really quietly so that nobody else around them would hear him. Last thing he wanted was a bit group of people to know that he could only eat something like that... it wasn't his fault, it was because of what he was... being a leech had many downfalls.
