Fleur waved his tail in anticipation and asked, "When can I start?" He was anxious to learn how to do this - maybe then he would make more friends or at least be able to go with Stevie and Chrysler more when they went shopping. Also, maybe then he would not have to worry about making his dragon not want to stay with him because he smelled horrible. Until now, Fleur had been secretly hoping tha this dragon would have no sense of smell.

"Yes! We should. You know of course what you need to do first though right? Hand stands!" He told Fleur, grinning some. The skunks did hand stands and sprayed from that position, it might be important. Maybe to keep the scent from getting on them at all? So he would teach him hands stands for that! It was a fun thing to do and would distract the boy a bit at the same time. The first thing to get him to concentrate on a new thing instead of just worry about the scent, if he worried to much the poor boy would get an ulcer. He needed to have some fun!

Fleur blinked slowly at Orpheus, completely off guard by that. What did a handstand have to do with learning how to control his stench? "I've...never done one before," he admitted, confused. If his teacher wanted him to do one though, he was going to try. Fleur crouched down to place his hands firmly on the ground before trying to put his feet and tail up in the air. He only succeeded in doing a somersault over his face and spat out a mouthful of grass, embarrassed.

Orpheus smiled, seeming quite glad to have caught the boy off guard, "Its something that your breed are quite good at actually." He said, watching his first attempt then nodded, "Not bad for a first try, biggest thing you have to remember is to to have your hands spaced so they are as far apart as your shoulders are, that way you have a good base for balance."

He knelt down and put his hands on the ground then pushed himself up on his hands to show the boy how it worked, hands stands were something he could do. After all if you asked Raven he was a 'glorified gym teacher' so the physical he was good at, "Ta-dah! And when you get good at it you will be able to walk on them." He took a few steps forward with his hands.

Fleur's eyes widened when Orpheus walked on his hands, and that seemed to be the incentive the skunk needed to try again. He wanted to do that! Fleur tried again, wobbling a little before falling over again, but he was already getting the hang of it. It only took him two more tries to be able to stay upright on his hands, and he craned his neck up to look at Orpheus while he balanced himself, his tail flopping down over his head like an improvised hat. "Like this?"

"Looking pretty good." Orpheus said, lowering down to his feet for a moment as the blood was rushing to his head and he felt like he was gonna fall over if he didn't sit upright for a moment, he grinned a bit, "Once your feeling ready try to take some steps." It was nessassary but walking around on your hands was a lot of fun, that was the point of the current exercise.

Fleur wobbled considerably when he tried to take a few steps, but he managed to prevent himself from falling over by instinctively using his tail as a counterweight, waving it when he started rocking too far in one direction or another. It took him a few moments, but he quickly got a lot better at it, able to walk on his hands in a circle. He did not seem to be having the same problem about his blood rushing to his head as Orpheus though, possibly because spotted skunks were built for this in the first place.

"Good job, your tail seems to be pretty helpful with balance. Lucky, wish I had me a tail some days... and wings on other days." He was half joking, though such things could come in handy. Not that he were about to ask any of the creepy labtechs for them mind you...

Orpheus pushed back up onto his hands to walk around a bit more, these classes were far to much fun. Always were until he had to teach something to fly.

"I like tails!" Fleur blurted out, just having fun walking around on his hands for now. "There's so many different kinds - long kinds, short kinds, furry kinds, hairless kinds...there's even kids who're all tail and one who has nothing but hair for a tail!" He seemed to be oddly fixated on that aspect of the body, his blue eyes wide and almost glazed over as he imagined the different kinds of tails he had seen, trying to think of which one he would pick as his favorite.

Orpheus laughed, "All tail? Sounds like my younger son, Ter is a cobra child and doesn't have any legs at all." He said, "And Ligeia has a feathery tail that he uses in his flying."

Orpheus noticed something something as they talked and walked about on his hands, the smell. Well lack there of at least. It would seem he'd gotten the boy to 'control' the smell for at least the moment. To bad he had no idea how... He wouldn't say anything though since he didn't want to started the kid with the information. Instead the talking and walking was funner.

"A tail with feathers?" Fleur repeated, trying to imagine that. That was a kind of tail he had not yet seen. "I think my favorite is Del's tail - she said she's a dolphin!" At this, Fleur finally lowered himself back onto his feet, his shoulders tired from holding himself up for so long.

"Del? Ah! Yes, I had her in one of my classes before. How is she doing?" He asked of Fleur, it was a shame he didn't see his students often enough aside from the ones that made friends with his sons. He missed them after having the classes and getting to know them.

"I guess she's doing okay - I met her in the bookstore a few weeks ago." Fleur flipped an ear, waving his tail up and down. "Her dragon is cute - not scary like Vorel, but Echo's still small..." The skunk beamed, reminded of his project. "I'm knitting a sweater for mine when it hatches! Though it doesn't look too good right now..." He still needed to figure out how to make sleeves.
PostPosted: Tue Mar 06, 2007 10:37 pm


"Vorel? Scary?" He tried to piece that one together, "He's not to bad, its Baroness that is a bit scary only cause she is so spoiled." He shook his head, never had he seen such a bratty dragon and all because his son insisted upon making her that way...

"Knitting huh? Ligeia sews, he learned from Earako and from a lot of books she showed him." Well that made him feel better, to know that his boy wasn't the only one that had picked up hobbies like that. He was a little worried for Ligeia but this was a good sign right?

"Maybe Geia has a book that would help?" Unless Fleur already had all the books he could use on the subject.

"Baroness?" Fleur asked, tilting his head. "Do the dragons name themselves, or should I name mine?" He had read some fantasy books where the dragons were born with their own names, so he was not sure if that was the case here too. "I have some books," he said with a nod at Orpheus' other comment. "Though they're more on how to make socks and hats, not sweaters..." Fleur plucked at a few blades of grass. "I haven't figured out how to make sleeves yet, and the more I try, the longer the sweater gets." He blushed under his fur. "I think I might need to start all over again." He somehow doubted his dragon was going to be eight feet long when it hatched.
