Guns, car chases, and explosions were the three basics of any action movie so far as he had seen. It wasn't until watching such movies that he realized how often things exploded or how large the explosions were...
"Rap music?" He murmured, then shook his head, "I haven't heard all that much of it but I agree." It wasn't a nice sort of music, it felt angry and violent from what he had heard of it. Not something he had to much interest in.
Vorel grinned happily before he transferred the ducks to his mouth then turned to Keir, made sure he was following before rushing towards where they'd left their partners.

Chath was glad Ligeia agree'd with him on the rap music. Rap was terrible, the words often just curse words or someone bleeping someone else. He found it repulsive.
He looked over to Geia and noticed he was sitting awefully close, um what were you suppose to do on a date? Trying to be subtle he leaned back and then rested a hand onto Ligeia's gently. His face was more than hot it was on fire it felt. He was sure if he hadn't been orange-red already his skin would of stayed that way permanantly.
Keir followed Vorel his own ducks securly in his mouth. The urge to bite down and crush bone and taste blood ever so tempting. But...he wasn't sure if he would like teh feathers. He would have to perhaps pluck the thing?

Ligeia looked over at Chath before he gave a smile and leand against him, resting his head on the newt boy's shoulder. This was nice, Chath was so sweet and cute. He moved his hand to lace his fingers with Chath's, there was a nice and calm moment... that lasted for only a moment... He gave a little jump, turning to look over in the direction where he heard loud footsteps coming towards them. Dragonsteps.
"Vorel? Keir?" He leaned forward towards him, watching them as they came towards them with... something in their mouths.
Uh-oh...
"Mmeima!" He said excitedly around the duck, rushing over towards the two of them and spat the ducks out onto his partner's lap. His tail started to lash happily, crouching down so his head was on the boy's fluffy legs and he looked up at him with shiny blue eyes awaiting praise and love for his accomplishment.
Ligeia blinked a couple times, "Huh...? Ahh...?" He looked down ducks and poked at them with a finger, ok... he couldn't react badly. Instead he reached out to stroke Vorel's glassy scales, "Thats... wow. Good job Vorel." He said, putting on his best smile for the dragon.

Chath shivered slightly at Ligeia's touch. The fact that Geia not only didn't take his hand away but instead went a step further made him feel happy. He liked the attention it seemed and when Geia went to lean on his shoulder he went to kiss Ligeia's forhead but instead got headbutted as Geia jumped.
Ahhhhh, his jaw felt tingle for a moment and he was glad he didn't bite his tongue. He rubbed his chin and looked up as ducks were plopped down into Geia's lap. Vorel seemed proud and he looked beyond the frost to see Keir also with a mouth full of ducks.
He felt himself pale. The black dragon had blood seeping out of his jaws, it was a terrifying sight. Standing abruptly he moved to where his black was standing. Keir's eyes narrowed unsure on how his partner was going to react.
"What are you doing? Put those ducks down now! you know better than to go around killing hapless creatures!" Chath shouted at his drgon his face contorting in something similar to rage or at least close to it. Keir gave a defiant wave of his wings and crunched down harder on his prize.
THe sound of snapping bones made Chath's hands turn into fists. Keir wasn't listening, not that he normally did. But somewhere along the way they had found even ground and gae mutual respect to one another. Today, just wasn't going to work.
Keir could understand why Chath was upset, but didn't understand why the level of anger had risen. They were just ducks. Stupid birds meant to be eaten by other creatures. It wasn't like he killed a pet or a child. The taste of blood of course made him more agressive as he took a swipe with his front claws at the boy.
Chath hadn't expected Keir to actually attack him, the claws dug into his pant leg ripping cloth and tearing into flesh. It hurt like hell. "KEIR!!" he screamed in response forming a water ball in his hand and launching it towards the dragons face. It splashed harmless on Keir's forhead, anger had made teh ball unstable and thus on contact it had lost most of its energy. Growling Keir spat out the bloodied carcuss's and turned and trotted away heading back for the pond it seemed.
Chath watched as his dragon left, glancing down at the mauled bodies that had once been ducks. His shoulders fell, it felt like him and Keir were backon square one.

Ligeia pushed up to his feet in shock as suddenly things had seemed to turn for the worst. He reached out to catch hold of Vorel around his thick neck with one arm and pulled him back and out of the way while the other two squared off. He wasn't sure what to do, what to say. He felt a little bad for Keir as he'd been praising his dragon for the same thing that he'd gotten yelled at for.
"Ah! Chath!" He squeaked when suddenly the dragon was relatiating against him, blood making his heart clentch. Oh no... The one thing he'd not even thought to bring was a first aid kid! He took a step forward as if wanting to try to help when Vorel grabbed him by the back of his shirt and yanked him back. He looked over his shoulder at the dragon who seemed not to be about to let him go.
He like Keir, he liked Chath but he LOVED Ligeia, he wouldn't let him get hurt by their argument, he would keep him back out of the way. The Frost Dragon even drug him back a couple of steps to keep him from being anywhere close to where he interfere.
When the fight seemed to clear up, when Keir headed off was when Vorel finally released Ligeia who was instantly rushing over to Chath. The Frost Dragon watched them a moment before he turned to hurry after his dragon friend.

Chath wanted to cry, it had been so long since he had last done it, but this just pushed him beyond an edge that made him just want to scream over and over. Instead, he sat down wobbeling as he did so. He needed to inspect the wound. This was the first time Keir drew blood. He normally resorted to acid since he knew Chath could heal quickly. his dragon must of been really pissed off at him.
With shakey hands he went to roll his pant leg up. He winced as fabric tore way from his sticky flesh. The wound wasn't deep, wouldn't require stitches but i was bleeding a lot. Already his lower calf seemed to be dripping in red.
Keir was angry, with himself and with Chath. There was no reason why Chath should of gotten so mad but then again he regretted his actions of taking a swipe at Chath. But was also proud the boy faught back. Mixed feelings the dragon laid down in front of the pond his snout right at the waters edge.

Ligeia knelt down to look the wound over as Chath uncovered it, eyes going wide, "Ahh... that looks awful." He murmured, his tone sounding quite worried, "Do you think we should bring you to a doctor?" He asked, moving over to dig around into his basket for a moment, grabbing out a pile of napkins and the bottle of water, "Here, we will rinse it out then press the napkins to it." He said.
He opened up the jug then looked at Chath, he didn't want to take over and just dump the water on the wound and press the napkins to the wound wihtout being asked. He turned to look at the newt, "Can I?" He asked, not wanting to upset him anymore.
Vorel hurried along after the black then paused, looking him over from a distance before following after him. He sat down next to the Black and looked over the water before giving a little sigh, "I... am sorry Keir." He murmured to the other dragon, it was his idea to bring the ducks back to Ligeia and Chath, he'd not expected anger, not expected them to fight over the ducks.
They were just tastey treats were they not?

Chath nodded his head, he himself couldn't bring his body to do what he wanted. He doubt he needed a doctor. But it did need to be cleaned before his body started to heal it. last thing he needed was an infection.
"I..doubt I need a doctor. It will heal fast enough on its own. W.we just need to clean it." he muttered looking down at the ground the air made it sting.
"go ahead.." he said as to Geia's question about cleaning it.
Keir didn't look up as the frost came to join him. It took him a moment to respond to the frosts question.
Not your fault. My partner can't seem to grasp that there are things in the world that are just meant to die. He doesn't like death or seeing things hurt. He is...very sensitive to it. he explained though he hadn't thought he would of reacted in such a manner over some stupid ducks.

Ligeia looked the wound over, not so sure but poured the water over it none the less, best thing he could do was get it cleaned, get some padding on it then pressure which would help to slow and the hopefully stop the bleeding. He used half the water before he felt satisfied with it, then the napkins next to cover the wounds making sure it was a thick pile that he could best soak up the blood, "Umm... lets see..." He looked back and forth before he reached behind his head first then back to undo the ties on his shirt. One it was undo he then used it to first wrap the would and then tied its strings to keep the cloth and napkins to the wound tightly, "There we go. We will keep an eye on it, watch the progress of the blood. If it doesn't stop soon we will see about getting you help." Chath may not want a doctor but that wouldn't stop Geia from dragging him off to see one if he thought that his friend needed one, he was older after all which meant he had to be the responsible one.
"Now, you should lay back and prop your leg up on the cooler." He suggested. He'd heard that you were supposed to keep a wound propped up... or was that a snake bite? Ahh... he needed to look into at least basic first aid didn't he?
Vorel looked over at him for a moment then across the water, he'd not thought about it. Ligeia had praised his hunt but he wondered what the boy was actually thinking. Wondered if the dead ducks had bothered Ligeia as much as it had Chath and the owl didn't tell him... He wasn't sure if he liked that idea.
The Frost Dragon flopped down on the ground and looked over at Keir, "You did good." He told him after a moment, referring to the hunt, "Couldn't have got duck without you." It may not be the right time but it was true none the less. That and it seemed as if Keir could use a pat on the back.
Or a hug? He wasn't brave enough for that though...

Chath felt a bit agitated, the andreline he had gotten during the attack still around for a while. He watched as Geia dressed his wound. Wincing only slightly as pressure was applied. He wasn't sure about alivating his leg, wouldn't that just mae his leg go numb after a while?
"I think just sitting would be good enough." he stated trying not to stare at Ligiea's now revealed chest. He never realized that a guys chest could look so...feminine. Compared to his own Geia looked like a very flat girl. He almost reached out to touch that fair skin and stopped himself. HIs fingers only a breath away he looked away blushing.
"thanks, for helping me..." he said lowering his hand and pushing himself upright. "i...shouldn't of lost my cool...." he continued now feeling bad for getting so angry with Keir.
Keir looked to the Frost wondering breifly the mental compacity the dragon had. But he gave a half draconic hiss laugh at his remark. Honestly this would be my first hunt. Chath never liked me hunting things, even the bugs. He is a big softy. he commented.

Ligeia nodded, "If your sure that it will be alright." He said, looking everything over again, checking the makeshift bandage, then back to Chath as he saw the newt for a moment lifting a hand towards him before seeming to change him mind about it.
The owl settled next to him again, wings giving a little bit of a flap, "Of course, I am glad to be able to help even if only a little." He'd done his best with the materials at hand after all. He reached a hand out to give Chath's hand a squeeze, "Maybe you two can talk after everything cools down?"
He wasn't sure if it were an option or not, just knew that when people had arguments it was best to talk after right? Maybe that would be a bad idea though with Chath wounded...
Vorel rested his head on his hands watching the frogs hopping about, for once not feeling the urge to go chasing after the hopping treats, "I see." He murmured, sounding thoughtful he would keep in mind the orange boy's aversion to such things. Then if they were to ever hunt together again they would eat it before going back to their partners.

Chath sighed and hung his head. He felt asshamed at getting angry. Anger didn't solve anything. He felt Ligeia's hand touch and then squeeze his own. It felt nice and he felt a bit better about things.
"i am not sure how to approach Keir anymore.." he explained, "It isn't that I am afriad of him. I am just afriad of what he may do to others.." he continued trying to figure out why he got so mad when Keir misbehaved.
Keir looked to Vorel and then gave the frost dragon a whap with his tail. Don't look so worried. He stated witha huff, we have fought before and we are still together so i doubt this time will really be much different. he continued with a toothy smile. besides your much more fun when your happy

Ligeia's eyes went a little wide, that must be hard. To worry that your partner might hurt someone. He couldn't see it of Vorel but the Frost Dragons seemed to follow him, seemed to have the sort of temperment of a large... very large and winged dog. He looked towards where the dragons had gone then looked to Chath, "Maybe your over thinking things? He's seemed to deal well enough with me, with Vorel. You know he helped me the other day when you fainted. Told me how to help you."
"And... they were just ducks. I know that sounds bad for me to say but... when I come here with Vorel he catches fish, frogs, other small things to eat. Dragons are... they are predators." He said, then looked over to where the frozen ducks were sitting, then gave a little wince as he looked them over, "The way it stands they died for no reason, a waste. Or they could have been food."
He shook his head, "I'm sorry. I don't mean to sound like I am against you. I am not wanting to take anyones side in this... I am just talking." He said, face flushed.
Vorel perked up some, tail swishing. If Keir were fine and thought that things were going to be fine then he would believe the black dragon since he knew the orange kid the best. He pushed so that he was sitting back on his haunches, "Alright, shall we go and play then?"

Chath looked to Geia as he spoke. Keir had told Ligeia how to help him? How? He wondered for a bit how his black managed to convery that he needed water to be revived. He shuddered slightly as geia's gaze drew him to look back at the carcuss's.
"I...i know I shouldn't of exploded like that...I am just...I don't wan't to encourage that agressive preditory side os Keir's." He explained remembering back to when his second skills aquirment resulted in Keir attacking him to bring out the toxin from his skin. Keir was big, had many sharp teeth and a foul temper.
"I can understand that he is a preditor, this sort of thing..." he said waving a hand to the duck bodies, "Is natural to them. But what of when they get bigger? A duck won't satisfy a dragon at full size..." he trailed off not wanting to think about Keir getting larger and more unruly than before.
The black wasn't really in the mood to play. He liked the frost. He was simple minded but still didn't try to challange his authority, or cliam to be smarter, more agile or any of those things that most other dragons cliamed. He felt like he could be more himself around Vorel than with most people.
Squirels this time? he asked as he stood up and stretched his hind legs.

"I guess... maybe I was thinking its better that they are hunting food. I'm sorry, Vorel seems a lot easier to deal." He murmured then moved to get the cooler that held the dragon's food in it, "I never really... thought about what he eats either." He'd been giving frozen bits of meat to Vorel since... forever to keep him behaved.
"Vorel and I took a hunting class not that long ago with Mr. Coleman." He said, looking over to Chath, "And dragons fly so maybe they can go and get bigger prey when they get bigger? Deer or cows maybe?" He wasn't sure exactly, "Its... odd. I read that Vorel's type their favorites to eat are things from the ocean, I wonder if that means he will be flying that far to get food someday."
He dug around in the picnic basket a moment longer then set to emptying out the things inside The stuff that needed to stay cool had its own separate and smaller cooler so it should be alright. He then put the ducks into the basket, "I should... umm... probably get rid of them. Before someone thinks it was us." He said, looking over at Chath.
"Umm... what do you want me to do with them?" He asked. Best to ask him, he'd rather pawn them off on the dragons instead of throwing them away but he didn't want to upset his friend.
Vorel hopped up to his feet, tail swishing, "Squirels?" He nodded rapidly, that sounded like a great idea. Those would be even harder to catch then the ducks had been even.
