His father had dropped him off here. Theis sat in a corner of the mall playground, nose wrinkled as he watched the other kids play on the completely unsanitary equipment. He highly doubted the overnight people cleaned these things properly. His tail wrapped around him, as if it could be a shield against the germs that no doubt wanted to eat him alive. Not only the germs, but the equipment wasn't right. It wasn't set up right, facing the right way, and there was one child too few in here for his liking.
Including himself, there were five kids. There needed to be at least one more for Theis to feel comfortable. The urge to push two of them out of the playground was great, but the fear of getting dirty and sick was far greater. Thus why the pink haired pixie-dragon was in his corner with his little bottle of hand sanitizer. He might only be a toddler, but he knew what it was and how to use it.
Hopefully, none of the kids would approach him. He didn't want to share his sanitizer. That meant the bottle wouldn't be clean anymore if they touched it. Oh, the world was such a cruel place for him! There were older kids around, too, watching the younger ones play. Nothing unusual about that. But Theis got the distinct feeling he was being talked about as the kid who didn't like to play. The child who wanted to be by himself with his imaginary friends. Well, he'd show them! He had no friends to speak if, save Corwin, and he was most definitely not imaginary. So, here he sat, waiting for his father to come back doing whatever it was that adults did in the mall by themselves near Christmas.

The holidays were a bit lost on Ante, sure he got the general gist of what was going on but he really didn't quite understand it. A fat man in red who had a sleigh that delivered presents to children all around the world in one night? It seemed a little far fetched to him and he was half dragon! Instead of worrying about it to much though he decided he was going to embrace the holiday for the fact that there seemed to be sales as far as the eye could see! Not only were clothes on sale but so were all the glittering treasures that he loved at the various jewelry stores scattered around the mall. He visited each one of them twice so far before finally circling back around toward the one that he had found to have the best sales going on. He was quite happy that it was that particular store that was running the best sales because he'd seem the most amazing pendant there, a teardrop shaped sapphire the size of his thumbnail surrounded by smaller white diamonds. It was the most amazing little thing that he'd seen and he wanted nothing more then to buy it and put it on straight away!
He was heading back in that direction when he found himself glancing for a moment toward the play area that was set up there, full of various toys that he had played on before... though not here, just similar stuff in parks all over the place since he travelled around a lot with Flynn. He'd loved stuff like that but everything in this particular set up looked as though it would be far to small for him to play on which was a shame, if it was a few sizes bigger like at the park he would most certain take a break from his prowling around to hop on in and play a bit. Sure he was getting to the age where he should be doing more grown up stuff but given that was how he spent most of his days since he was first taken in by Flynn, moving from one casino to the next one, one card came to the next, he wasn't worried about not being grown up enough.
Ante's thoughts paused for a moment, his long tail flicking from side to side behind him as he spotted a rather brightly colored child with pink hair and glittering wings. How neat! Without even thinking about it he lifted a hand to wave at the kid, inspecting him for a moment longer. He seemed to have a tail that was somewhat similar to that of Ante, long and scaly with decorative spikes on the top part of it. How neat! Another dragon, perhaps? A part of him wanted to meet with the kid though he wondered if he would be bothering him, he was likely playing some sort of game... though given that he was off in the corner of the place it didn't so much look like the one with the pink hair was participating so much as observing. That was so bad but then again Ante was doing the same thing, huh? They had that in common too.

Something caught his attention. Those black, near souless eyes turned toward a movement and caught sight of a blue scaled tail. It was so shiny. Theis came out of his position in the corner and moved closer to it. Those eyes traveled up the length of the tail and saw it was connected to... a boy. A very tall, older looking boy who was watching him. For some reason that unnerved him and he kind of went back to his corner again, stuffing the bottle in his pocket.
But he couldn't stop looking at the other boy. It was another dragon! Like Corwin and himself, but this one was different. The tail was more slender, and he was so tall. And he was dark skinned! He'd never seen a dark skinned male before. And he was older! That's a lot of ands for one little kid. Curiosity got the better of him and Theis wandered toward the railing of the playground and pulled the bottle out along with a fresh napkin.
Putting the gel on the napkin, he began to clean the railing before he wrinkled his nose and stuffed the bottle back in his pocket, and stuffed the used napkin in a different pocket. Only then did he touch the railing and lean forward to get the other's attention.
"H...hello?"

When the other dragon tailed child came over toward him Ante couldn't help but to be excited, squatting down so that they were on a level that was closer to one another, "Hello there." He greeted the one who had come over to visit with him, tail wagging behind him, "Are you a dragon too?" He asked of him, perhaps a silly question to come from a teenager but he couldn't help but to ask it, so very curious if it were true or not. The idea that the boy might be a dragon as well was something that made him so happy since it had been a long, long time since Ante had been able to meet another dragon. It hadn't been since he was much, much younger.
"My name is Ante Up Eldritch, how about you?" He asked, ever curious, "Did you come from the Labs that are run by Apoxi too?" He knew there were others that were made in the same place that he came from though he hadn't been able to meet many of them yet. He hoped to remedy that soon though. He couldn't help but to wonder how many there might be out there that were like him but for now he would try to keep his curiosity contain so as not to overwhelm the younger boy.

The taller dragon squatted down and Theis had to back. Just too close. Just a bit. The pink haired boy bobbed his head at the question, his own tail wagging and thumping. He was indeed a dragon. His black eyes looked to Ante's feet. They weren't like his own. His own feet were normal, like a pixie, he supposed. But his eyes caught the other's hair and he had to stare at it, too. He had a horrible habit of staring. When he realized Ante was talking again, his cheeks flushed and his wings sprung up and fluttered embarrassedly..
"I... I'm Theis... ...Wicket." The last name was the last name of his father. Tony had told him to use it when introducing himself. "I'm... a dragon, yes. Daddy said I'm.. a western?" He didn't know what that meant, a western dragon. "Apoxi said I'm pixie, too.. 's why I have weird eyes.." He looked to the railing and wrinkled his nose. That railing was filthy.

"Western dragon, neat. I haven't met someone with that blood before." He murmured, before smiling, "A pixie too? That cool! My other half is human." It wasn't nearly as neat sounding as pixie but he rather liked it, liked his coloration that he got from his human father. He was sure what else he got from his human side but knew that most of what he looked like, most of his skills were from his dragon mother Nami.
"Your eyes aren't weird, I think they are very pretty." He told the boy, not wanting for him to think that he was weird for having such eyes. He thought that they were cute in fact and very unique. His tail set to wagging again behind him, which had a few people having to go around so as not to accidentally get struck by the swishing tail. It wouldn't have been on purpose, just an accident due to the excitement of the older dragon who hadn't had enough chances to meet others like him.

He hadn't met to many others with human in them. In fact, none of them did except this one. Theis wanted to call him a brother, because he wanted a big brother so badly. Then his little cheeks flamed at the compliment and he ducked his head with a pleased look on his face. He hadn't expected that! "T...Thank you! I like your feet... ...Mine is just kind of... normal? But you have neat feet." He looked back up at Ante and smiled. "Do you want... to come in and play? I can.. clean the swings if you want."
Not like he'd be playing with the others, anyway. They stared at him and were probably talking about the weird kid who cleaned things. He was used to it, it just got old really fast.
