Seeing his discomfort, Ana smiled comfortingly. "Tural is a good name. And you'll be the first to get this kind of mystery dragon! So you'll get to learn all about it and be the expert! That'll make you extra-special, you know! There are a couple other kids who have the same kind of dragon that I have. But yours will be one of a kind!"

The leech boy started to blush all that much more, looking rather embarrassed over what she was saying about him. He lifted his hands up to hide his face behind his ocarina book, "W-Wow... t-that's true, Tural w-will be the first Cruzoor at D-Corp. H-He will be special." He murmured, "I-I will be a Cruzoor expert? W-Wow... t-that would be neat."
He would have to do his best, try his hardest with Tural to learn everything that he could so that when the next one hatched in D-Corp then they would learn from his experience, "I-I hope to be of h-help to anyone else who g-gets a Cruzoor egg." He was moving back and forth on his feet in an excited manner, "M-Maybe hope to the t-teacher too."

Ana giggled. "I'll bet you'll be teaching the teacher!" For some reason, she found this concept... a kid teaching a teacher... highly amusing. Rounding the corner, they came to the area where the stringed instruments were housed. "Wow..." The chameleon girl stated, her eyes glued to a bass with a candy-apple finish. "It's so pretty..."

Kliken gave a smile at the novel idea of getting to teach a teacher about something, he wondered if he could really do that? He remember Mr Coleman as being a little bit scary to begin with. After all the teacher made the rules on the dragon egg tour and if someone broke the rules he could have made them leave. After a while he seemed to get nicer, letting the ones on the tour see and touch their dragon's eggs.
"Ohhh. That is a p-pretty color." He said, moving closer to look over the instrument that Antaela had spotted, "What s-sort of sound do those make?" He wondered out loud.

Reaching out, Ana plucked a string, evoking a low, mellow tone. "Ooh... I like that." She grinned. "Except I dont think Vienne would let me play one." She gazed at it wistfully, then walked over to where the violins sat. "They aren't as pretty, are they?" She asked Kliken with a little sigh.

Kliken gazed at his friend looking a little confused as he stepped closer to the bass, looking it over then asked, "Why? Ummm... why c-can't you play it? It sounds v-very nice." He looked back and forth between the bass and the violin trying to figure out why one of them was allowed but the other wasn't.
It was a little confusing to him, "Shouldn't... you p-play what sounds nice t-t you?" He was sure that he must be missing something, something about the 'Vienne' that she mentioned.

"Well Vienne - thats my new guardian. I just moved in with her a little bit ago. She says that that a lady should play an instrument. But I guess there are only certain instruments that are okay for a lady to play." Ana shrugged a little. "I really want Vienne to like me" she said in a lower voice "I dont want to have to move again. So I figure it can't hurt to pick out of the instruments she likes, right?" Ana's voice held just the slightest tinge of anxiety.

Kliken's eyes widened a bit before he nodded, drifting over to look at the violin where it was sitting, "I can understand." He murmured, "I-I'm the same with my new Mom."
He turned to give her a smile, "I-I am sure she will like you, y-your very nice." At least that was what he thought, she had been really nice to him so far, talked with him, matched colors with him. He hoped to count he could count her on the small list of people he called friend.

Though she wore a bright smile, the curling and uncurling of her tail belied her anxiety about the whole parent issue. The reasons why she had to have a new family were unknown to her and she didn't like to dwell on the topic too long. "I hope so..." Ana murmured quietly, joining him at the violins. "They're not bad looking. I bet they're not that hard..." She mused, lifting one up carefully.

Kliken nodded, "A-And when you learn maybe we can p-play together." He said with a smile, the idea of playing his ocarina while someone else played another instrument with him sounded like it could be a whole lot of fun. He would have to practice hard though so that he could be good enough to do that.
He watched as she picked up one of the violins and gave her an encouraging smile. He wondered if the violin was going to be the one that she picked.

Despite the fact that a bow was needed, Ana plucked at a violin string anyways. The sound was different than that of the bass, but she still liked the resonance. She smiled at Kliken. "Yeah... we should play together, definitely! Once I've practiced, that is." She lifted one of the instruments off it's stand and held it up victoriously. "I like it better than the flute. I guess I'll try to learn violin. Thanks for helping me choose..."

Kliken tilted his head, listening to the sound that the instrument made before he gave a smile, "I look forward t-to it." He murmured, giving a soft laugh when she held up the instrument in a triumphant manner, "I am g-glad I c-could help." He sounded both happy and shy about the idea that he had gotten to help someone out, especially with something so important.
"I-I wish you l-luck in learning how to p-play." He told her, grinning happily his stuttering getting a little worse as he got excited.

"Thank you, Kliken." Ana grinned at him and pulled a little card out of the pocket of her skirt, holding it out to him. "It has my name and address and phone number on it. Vienne had them made in case I got lost or anything. Will you take it? And then maybe we can play together sometime. And I'd really like to meet Tural when it hatches!"

Kliken nodded his head, taking the card and held it close to him as if the small piece of paper meant the world to him, "Thank you." He said, smiling brightly, "I-I look forward to it. Umm... I wonder if there is some paper and a pen so I can write down my number for you."
He looked around but couldn't seem to find anything when his mother seemed to appear at just the right moment and he hurried over to her side, "Mom! Mom I need..." He gave a happy sound when she produced the two items that he had just been thinking about. He quickly wrote down his name and his number on them, "Here." He handed the scrap of paper to Anataela.

Ana took the scrap and tucked it safely into her pocket, beaming. "Thanks, Kliken!" Abruptly, she leaned forward and gave him a quick hug, then blushed a little. "I'd better take this to Vienne and tell her we picked out an instrument." She added, waving the violin in the air.
