The day had been bright and sunny, the newt usually didn't like sunny days, they dried him out too quickly. But ...for once he didn't mind. He had a full misting bottle, wore his fishnet shirt, and shorts. Sandles were still his friend though it made jogging awkward but he was use to it by now.
He was currently jogging, sweat already beading down his face even though he had only been jogging for ten minutes. He hated that under the hot sun he got worned out so quickly. But he had a smile on his face, he felt more...himself as of late. And was taking more initiative to not let Keir run his life.
His black was jogging behind his boy, building up his own stamina for flight. He desired to fly...to get off the ground...the brief taste he had with Vorel wasn't enough. He hadn't missed the frost...at least he hadn't let himself miss the big stupid thing. He was too busy keeping him and his boy training. They wouldn't be caught unprepaired next time trouble sprang up.

Ter was out enjoying something new and fantastic, something that made him realize exactly how lucky Geia was having wings of his own.. not that he would ever say as much out loud where he could hear it. He didn't want his brother thinking that he liked him that much. He preferred them staying on terms where they only talked now and again and only when it was important.
He was lounging on his dragoness, coils threaded through the spines on her back. He was only half paying attention to what was down on the ground, occasionally considering spitting on some of the people below but as of yet he'd refrained from doing so.
His eyes caught sight of something brightly colored below, orange in fact. It took him a moment for his mind to process who it was and it clicked when he realized the orange was running along with a large black shape, "Feh... Chath..." He muttered then blinked a couple times as something came to mind.
He lifted a hand to pat it against Baroness' neck, "Go back. I saw someone we need to deal with." He told her.
The wyvern turned once she was able to find the right air currents. She looked around on the ground to see if she could spot who they were 'dealin with'. Upon spotting Chath and Keir she gave a bit of a smirk, knowing straight away it was them that he met. She closed her wings and was suddenly dive bombing down toward them. She opened her wings at the last moment, flapping them rapidly then land with growl not far in front of the pair. Hey if they were gonna 'deal with' them she might as well make it look good.

Chath only paused midstride in his jog when he a shadow passed over him, he looked over his shoulder to suddenly see the large wyvern descending down upon them. His eyes widened slighly at the growl of the dragon his hand immediately lashing out in a silent command for Keir to back down.
Snarling the black raised his head eyes flashing at the obvious challange. He opened his own wings flapping them a couple beats as if responding to the challange with his own. He didn't lunge...nor spit acid...he spotted the kids sign langauge and only paced back and forth his tail lashing.
Chath looked up to Baroness and then to the boy riding her. It was Ter, he didn't know the snake too well...other than that he was Geia's younger brother.
"Hey Ter, its been a while." He stated a casual greeting. THe last time they had gotten together was to practice fighting. Back before he had lost his arm.

Ter starred down at the newt, he'd not really planned anything out after seeing him just felt the overwhelming desire to retaliate at Z for what she'd done by doing the same as she had. He slipped down off him wyvern to his coils. The greeting he was given was something that irked him, he did sound happy didn't he? Jerk... but then again he supposed that Ligeia had done all this to make him happy.
In turn though the owl boy was hurting from it even if he was acting as if he were fine. On top of that the idiot had to get punched by a girl! Which pissed Ter off because despite being punched in the face Ligeia had smiled, shrugged it off, and said that he deserved it.
The snake closed the distance between himself and Chath quickly, his coils good for fast lunges as he learned in many battle classes, add in that his opponent was completely off guard... Ter was a bit smarter about where he hit, instead of going for the face he aim lower to slam a fit into Chath's midsection...
Baroness gave a hissing chuckle, my... my. So they were here to do battle were they? Strange that her boy would want to avenge that fluffy, weak owl but she'd learned long ago that he though he had exclusive rights to Ligeia and the picking there of...

Chath had been about to say something, perhaps he was going to ask on what Ter was up to, maybe ask how Ligeia was doing but he didn't get the changc as suddenly the snake had come at him and got him in the stomach. Giving a grunt he felt the wind forced out of his lungs he staggered back gasping for air. His eyes were closed tightly as pain had flooded his nervous system.
And even despite the pain he managed to shout of for Keir to stand down. THe words were loud even and a firm command. He straightened his body after he felt like he could breath again. He saw spots in his vision, he didn't let it distract him. This was what all his physical training was for right? So he didn't pass out from the pain from one hit.
He angeled his body from habit, so that Ter couldn't get a direct hit a second time. He wasn't sure what had spurned the attack, he couldn't recal doing anything against Ter.
"Well that was an interesting way to say hello. Any particular reason you felt the need to start a fight with me?" Chath inquired, as he wasn't in the mood to back down anymore. He didn't want to fight Ter, but he wasn't going to just turn his back on him and invite only more attacks.
There was the sound of something burning...the cement to be exact...the sizzling sound of cement being burned by gaint gobs of acidic drool that flowed from the blacks mouth. His hackles were raised, his eyes latched onto Baroness as he expected an attack,only to be caught off gaurd.
Hhe had taken a step forward jaws wide when Ter got Chath. But the strong words from his boy was enough to have him snap his jaws shut.
Growling the black refixed his eyes on Baroness. He wasn't shy to show his aggression.

THe moment she saw Keir moving Baroness had reacted in the same manner, rising up to her feet and gave a snarling sound as she moved. If her boy was going to fight then she would as well, would show this puny Black dragon who was in charge! She was surprised when Ter lifted a hand up, the same one that had a moment ago slammed into Chath to motion her back, "That's alright Baroness, we are just talking." He said, watching the newt as he regained his breath and seemed to not have any more interest in the physical part of the fight after the first hit.
He was ignoring Keir as well and his shows of aggression. After all he had no doubt in his mind that if Keir came after him that Baroness would attack without any mercy, she hated the black for whatever reason and would relish a chance to have it out with him again.
"Why would I fight with a wuss like you? It would be an utter waste of my time." The cobra spat out unkindly then flexed the hand he'd used to hit Chath and held it up, "This wasn't a fight this was just retaliation. I didn't want anything to do with this whole fiasco, I was all well and good minding my own business and letting Ligeia do what he wanted to do."
The snake shook his head and gave a disgusted sound, "But you, you weren't content with just making him miserable you wanted him to hurt physically too, huh? Next time how about you do your dirty work yourself instead of sending a girl to do it." Ter wanted so badly to just dive on Chath and punch him until he was exhausted but that wasn't fair was it?
Zyanya had only Geia once, as such Ter would only hit Chath once as much as he disliked him.

It took a moment for the newt to register what the cobra was saying. Hurt Ligeia? Sure his letter may of been unkind, but it wasn't as if he had told Ligeia that he was numerous things the he dare not repeat even in his own mind. The letter had been written in a moment of anger, he regretted it when as soon as he had time to clear his head. Hearing nothing back from the owl he had been sure that he had killed any hope of rekindling their relationship.
His eyes narrowed, his normally goofy smile had been replaced with a serious and grim frown. He didn't understand what Ter was getting at. Retaliation? Dirty work?
"Speak plainly, I have no idea what you mean. Is Ligeia hurt? And what GIRL are you talking about?!" His tone moved from calm, to worry and then to confusion mixed with anger. As if there was an unasked for breeze and newt prayed to the gods the cooling sensation would persist for the remainder of whatever was left of this confrontation.
He moved his stumped arm grudgingly reminding himself that he was at a severe disadvantage, not only had Ter gotten bigger, but he was down one arm. He couldn't summon his magic either.. He hoped to end this fight either right here and now or be able to walk away from it with some dignity unharmed.
Plus the only reason Keir wasn't sinking his teeth into Ter was probably because he was curious to how Chath would deal with it. At least...that is what he hoped was the reason.
"I don't know what happened to Ligeia, but you make it sound like I sent a hitman...or woman in this case to get some personal revenge on him. Please be kind to remember he was the one who broke up with me. I retaliated in kind with only a single letter of brief words. " He paused as if struggling with words, he cuoldn't cry...or more he was unable to being that he was an amphibian. He continued after a few heart beats.
"I am not proud of how I reacted, but at least you could understand how you would feel if Zyanya suddenly upped and decided she was too good for you and left with only a letter describing how it was better this way." Chath was trying to reign in his emotions. He had gotten past this and he didn't want to rip the band-aid off quite so soon. He was trying to get Ter to understand how he had felt on his end. Maybe now he would understand and leave him alone...
Keir didn't see the point in talking, what had been done was done. He for one was glad that his boy no longer had the saddest reason of a boy clinging to him anymore. Snapping his teeth in the air, he wasn't afraid of Baroness. Quite the contrary, he wanted to lunge at her show her that just because she may be bigger...he was by no means cowed. Foolish perhaps....

The cobra gave a roll of his eyes, "Don't play the victim card with me, I could care less that you and my brother aren't together anymore. Seriously dating you only made him put him in danger, now at least hes better off." He said, shifting his form so that he could lean against his own coils.
Ter only half listened to the newts continued deniles, pretending to be 'oh so innocent' in what had gone down but the snake didn't trust him in the least. Other people might be fooled by his hurt expression but Ter wasn't...
The cobra stiffened at something the newt said and he gave a hissing sound, "To good for you..." He gave a laugh, "Man you are an idiot... but whatever. I am not gonna play mediator for you and there no way in hell I am going to explain Ligeia's thought processes to you either but please don't make him sound like some sort of monster alright? Hes dumb sure, weak yes, and his clothing choices leave much to be desired but hes also way to nice for his own good. He didn't break up with you because he suddenly found himself better then you."
The snake shook his head, "Bleh, I am getting way more involved in this then I ever wanted to be. All I wanted to do was give him the occasional pat on the head." He muttered, mostly to himself.
He shook his head again, "As for Z, were I to try to break up with her I am sure she'd come on over my place dressed in her best clothing and kick the s**t out of me." He said with a grin, looking almost if the idea were appealing, "You know you say he was acting as he were better then you but... feh. Maybe he is, only someone truly lame like you wouldn't even have a big enough pair to beat him up yourself. Even down an arm you could take him, he wouldn't even try to fight back just like before. Seriously, if you have a problem with him then hit him yourself, don't send your sister it just makes our relationship a bit tense and I don't like it."
He reached a hand out, motioning Baroness closer to him. He'd said his part and was ready to leave, he had places to be other then here, people to talk to other then his brother's ex, and he was kinda hungry... fighting always made him so.

Chath bristeled, it was unusual for the boy to be so agitated. But it was like the cobra was pushing all the right buttons. He listened to Ter, a couple times wanting to put forth his comment but held off as Ter kept going. He was confused, why was it that Ter sounded that he was more dissapointed that he didn't take a punch at Geia?
He looked starteled at his last comment. His....sister? Running his webbed fingers through his hair he looked rather cross. Zyanya? Zyanya had gone and punched Geia? When? Where? Why hadn't she... he registered her hurt hand...and it seemed to click.
"Damn it all.." He breathed shaking his head, "I never wanted Geia...hurt..." He mumbeled, he needed to have some words with his sister...
"I....is he okay?" He managed to ask he then shuffeled a back step wondering what he was going to do. He certianly needed to have words with his sister. And he definately owed Geia an apology for the way his sister acted towards him...
"I...will speak to her...she ...really should of stayed out of it...." He continued rubbing his stomach as it ached.

Ter starred at the newt for a long moment then gave a chuckle, "So... you really didn't know?" He asked before he gave a shrug of his shoulders, "I'm not going to apologize so don't hold your breath waiting for it."
He pulled up onto Baroness' back, "As for whether or not he is alright is a matter of perspective... you know what really pisses me off? Is he never fought back, he stood there and let her hit him because he thinks he deserves the abuse."
He snorted then patted his dragon's side, "Come on Baroness, lets get heading on our way. We have things to do." He told her.
