Alan looked up from his paper shuffling, raising a brow at the two... His main thought, this was far too dangerous to be so sleepy. Keanu had a chance, he was alert and eager for this... Vivina, however, wasn't. This just wouldn't do...
Oh well, he figured he'd go over the what she was looking for first and then onto the more important part of flying.
With that in mind, and without offering a single smile, he moved foreward passing her a paper the same as the others. On it was a picture of Talia, the missing girl. "This is my daughter, she went missing this morning... I have people checking all around the area but it's fairly hard to go into the canyon incase she.." he held his breath a moment, before retaining complete seriousness. Like he didn't really care and this was just another experiment to put the kids on. "Incase she fell, or started climbing... The area is blocked off, but she has a tendency to slip through things. Either way, I'll need you and Sephyr to fly through the canyon and see if you can find anything."
He paused, waiting to see if they had gotten more awake yet for the instructions on how to do so.

Vivina glanced at the picture and looked at it for a while. "Oh..." After a few seconds, her mind kicked into gear and her attention was fully on what Alan was saying. "What?! She's missing?! Eeek! What're we going to do?! .... Um, wow, I think I'm awake now. Sorry..." Vivina looked down just in case she was going to get yelled at. Least she was awake on focused on what she needed to do. "Hmm...so we get to go to the canyon and see if Talia's there? Wow...Don't worry! I'm ready for anything, sir!"
Sephayr grumbled as Vivina suddenly appeared awakened. Unlike her, he was still drowsy. His attention focused upon Alan when he heard the man say something about flying and carrying Vivina on him. Oh dear, how heavy was she again? But the thought of flying made him overjoyed. He leaned closer to Alan and listened carefully. If he got to fly again, then he'll do anything the man says.
Vivina looked up to her dragon and smiled. Guess he won't be lazy today. "Seph looks like he's ready. I'm ready also! Um...but I don't know how to fly Seph yet. Is that a problem?" Vivina placed a hand on Seph and stroken his feathers as she looked up at Alan with curiosity.

Alan nodded some to the sudden outburst of energy. That was better... "It's not as hard as it seems..." he moved foreward, placing his hand on the spot between Sephyr's wings as he had with Keanu and Ymir. "You'll be sitting here, and tucking your legs in under Seph's underside... Once there you won't move them, doing so could offthrow the dragon's use of wings. And then, you'll fall." he stressed this point... It happend to be the number one reason for crashes. "Your dragon is a bit different than normal, your added weight.. though not much, will be needed to get used to. This dragon uses it's tail in a serpentine motion to keep it balanced... therefore, you don't need to lean to either side as someone on another dragon would do. You just focus on staying still and watching out for obstacles." he nodded, moving away from his demonstration.
With that he pointed to the door, "Go outside and to the elevator down into the canyon. It's on the left of the building. You'll take off at the bottum, stay close to the ground until you two get used to the general idea of flying. The techs will let you into the elevator." With that he turned away, going back to busying his mind with something so he wouldn't think about the issue at hand for too long.

(Not posting with Keanu cause he belongs it he air patrol thread now.)
"Awful..." Came the reply as a sigh escaped the man. "Keanu went flying and I'm supposed to believe someone will catch him if he falls?" He flicked an ear as finally the annoyance with Alan dissipated and was replaced with the usual worry. Ymir was a good dragon, well not that she knew many very well. He kept an eye on Keanu, but if they fell what could he do. The feline shifted on his feet a moment before letting his shoulders droop. "Falling out of a tree and from high in the air are two different things... He's not that sturdy..."
Obviously Raja hadn't taken the time to prepare himself for the inevitable just yet. "You're fortunate that Simon's dragon belongs in the water, I don't think snow leopards were meant to fly." He continued, not bothering to take note if Bree cared or not. He needed to vent to someone, to whine pitifully while unable to do anything. Because frankly... All the yelling in the world wouldn't have gotten through to Keanu's head and brought him down from flying. He was going to do this wether da liked it, or not. The problem was... Da really didn't like not getting a choice in the matter.

Bree blinked, keanu, aha.. they were related. But.. wait.. no.. not related. She looked a bit confused for a moment, squinting her eyes at the male more focused on figuring out when raja got a hot new brother than what Raja was complaining about. Somethign about dieing kids? psh.
Somethign about being lucky with simon caught her attention, leading to a hell no thought that she kept to herself. Simon... had his own problems. Fresh water was harder for him to breathe in, and if he didn't move throught he water while using his gills he'd start choking, little things like that... Either way, Bree didn't care too much... This was what he was built for, and she hardly beleived that D-corp would let anything happen to it's future.
She ignored the rest, leaning foreward as it neared to an end to give a good sniff at the man. Somethign wasn't right... Then it clicked. Ofcourse if she hadn't read about gender changes and been around someone it had happend to she probably would have dubbed this person Raja's brother... However. She had met someone, and their scent hadn't changed. The same with this.
Since she was already right up on the man-once-woman, it didn't take much to cross her arms and stick her face in the woman's. "What the hell did you do to yourself?"
Bree wasn't sure wether to be disturbed that she had just checked her friend out or not... Hm... Not. Though it was Raja, it was still a man, and still rather attractive.

Instead of the reply of an understanidng tone that he might have hoped for came the 'What the hell did you do to yourself?' Great, now he was fretting about the safety of his child and he had to explain once more that it wasn't a jellybean like he thought. Not to mention Bree was in his face and right now he really didn't need attitude, he just wanted someone to listen while he sat losing his mind with worry. This was worse than the time the two year old had dissapeared in the supermarket. Now that he thought about it Talia had pulled something just like Keanu would. Wow... Alan would have hell as that girl got bigger if that was any indication.
"It wasn't a jeallybean." Was the quick reply Bree received to her question before the endless worrisome speech began again. "But Bree how can you ask that... Keanu could turn into a pancake if he fell... This is worse than the time he wanted to climb on the roof to see if any monsters perched up there, and the time that he went missing over night... And..." He tugged at one of the woman's arms as if that might do some good. It wasn't like she had any better chance of getting Keanu down from the skies. Ah, but parents did worry. It wouldn't take long for Raja to reduce himself to a worried mess like Alan.

Bree was probably the worst person to worry at... And it showed as she shifted back uncomfortably. Crapcrapcrap. Her mind raced as she tried to figure out how to get out of this... Oh if only she had some beer or something. Her eyes drarted around the room... table, chairs, tech.. no booze. Not even a TV... Crap she was doomed.
Carefully, she tried to pry her arm away, remembering why she had never taken the route of dating women (Or her version of dating, which meant a series of one night stands...)
However, she was forced to say something, and what Raja got was far from a friendly caring. Bree was likely the worst woman on the planet. "Look, Just think of it as Keanu's had alot of practice and won't be as likely to fall!" Oh yes, that'd be reassuring.

If nothing else would have gotten her loose those words managed to free Bree's arm from the frantic grasp. As well as freeze Raja in place as the world seemed to crack like glass then crumble down around him. "Noooooo.... I don't want him to fall!" Came the whine was well as both ears flopping down against his head. "And you know I'd have never let him go on the roof!" He began shifting his wait nervously before looking over toward the doors. "If he fell this time it... it..." He bit his lip letting out another quiet whine.
Oh yes, that must have been a sight. Two parents freaking out in the reception, two dragons, and more parents. Sadly, raja didn't care. Instead the desperate mind turned to the every irrational idea that maybe he could get Keanu down. "Do you think maybe he'd listen to me just this one time and stop playing hero?"

Bree took the moment to get herself a safe distance away, phew.. freedom... The thought to just bolt ouf of the building and drive off even occured to her. But, what little conciance Bree had wouldn't let her leave. Besides, the little adventurer-in-training needed her help. She had to admit, she rather liked Keanu... Even if she beleived he'd fare better by working for himself, and not everyone else. The hero gig had major flaws...
"Cat's land on their feet..." Bree noted, though this had never been true... and a good 100ft drop it certiantly wouldn't matter how you landed. "Alright, Dragons are made to fly right? If he falls off that giant lizard will do something... Atleast slow the fall?" she shrugged... she didn't know much about riding dragons, she had read about their hunting styles and whatnot. She ran a hand over the back of her head, deciding now would be a grand time for a topic change.
What should she talk about? Her mind whirred a moment before landing on her least awkward conversation topic. "Hey, have you seen Michael? Earako's dad or whatever. He's pretty hot." she gave a wide grin, yes.. much more comfortable.

Oh Raja knew all to well about the landing on feet thing, god only knew how many people had probly joked about it while they thought the feline couldn't hear. The point was that her son would be a pancake no matter how he landed. Though perhaps the bit about dragons calmed the man a little, thought he still flicked an ear. "Yes... Ymir does keep an eye on Keanu, but if something goes wrong..." He insisted, tugging at one of the yellow hued sleeves of his shirt. There really wasn't much he could do, or much sense worrying. But habit was habit and he continued on with that habit as usual.
Then the change of subject. Disbelief shown on the male's face, then a few times blinking. "What..?" Was finally uttered. Well it wasn't much something could babble about anyway, she hadn't met Michael. Though Keanu had said something about a Princess Earako before hadn't he? The feline shook his head. "No, no I haven't, but should we even be talking about that when al of this is going on?"

"Really?" Bre shrugged, ignoring the last part... She didn't like to worry. Live by the moment, don't let anythign slow you down... That kinda thing was more her cup of tea, persay. She rocked back onto teh heel of her pawed foot, tapping her chin throughtfully. "Well, he is, But then theres Hennet, I think he's onea the doctors here too. But man can he..."
She was promptly cut off by the excessivly loud clear of Alan's throught, making it apparent he wanted nothing to do with his employee's personal lives... Expecially not that.
Bree pouted some, before waving it off "Whatever though, Axels probably the best." she gave a slightly disturbing grin... yes, he was by far her favorite, for many reasons that she decided not to share at this time.
Meanwhile, Alan had been left fidgeting... His mind couldn't keep itself on anythign but Talia, and that woman.. man...thing wasn't helping Alan's guilt level at all. He didn't mind at all sticking the children on dangerous missions for work... but this was different, he was misusing his powers and he knew it. Though he told himself he'd have done the same if it had been anyone elses kid he knew it probably wouldn't have gone quite so drastic. Plus he shouldn't have put her at risk in the first place.
He brushed his hand through his hair again, only messing it further, until something seemed to snap. He briskly stepped away from the papers and out of the room. Leaving Bree to bring up whatever she wanted about her joyous lifestyle...

well Bree managed to successfully distract the cat a moment with more names she didn't recognize. Hennet? Axel? Wait had he met the Axel one before? After a brief moment the supermarket incident came to mind again. Hadn't that been the other kids parent? But what did any of that have to do with what was going on. "I well... I don't really know either of them, maybe I've met th Axel one before, but Bree this really isn't..." He glanced over as the subject of all his current problems walked out of the room. Good riddance he didn't want to deal with him anyway.
Which meant it was back to Bree who seemed to enjoy talking about nothing, but men. Well that was normal. "Bree why is he the best though?" And Bree had succeeded in her efforts momentarily. Wouldn't she be happy?

"Why?" She echoed, smirking... This was her area. Her comfort zone.. much better than that whole o noed my childs going to die crap. "Where should i start?" she chuckled, leaning foreward to whisper a few thing's in to her femiline-friend's furry ear. She didn't really want anyone else to hear... Who knew, they might jsut go out and steal her favorite boytoy... and that would be no good.
Alan returned a few moments later, simply going on out the front doors. 365 poped in behind him, moving over to the reception desk to get things in order.. Pictures of Talia, okay... easy enough. She set her clipboard aside for a moment, whipping her favorite coffee cup frm her pocket to take a swig, then look back towards the doors for Lian to pop in any moment.

And Raja really hadn't wanted to know. Well then again... He never should have asked. Both ears dropped a bit again and there was a single eye twitching a moment. "Bree... this really isn't what we should be talking about right now." It also didn't help that now the once female feline now knew just what the other was talking about. He might have been naive before the incident of this happening again, but now... Well he hadn't managed to take one of the opposite pills that reverted you before anything started to really need dealing with. So as it was... He felt like he knew too much. "That's nice, I'm glad you enjoy your time with him." Ok time to shut up and hope she does too...

Lian quietly came up behind 365. He looked around at the others but didn't really recognize anyone. There were two adults that were talking to each other, one seemed rather aggrovated, who kind of looked familiar. Nah he'd never seen him before.
