Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kliken looked down at Tural and gave the dragon a smile, "We are going to our first class." He murmured to the dragon, sounding quite excited about the idea. He was with his dragon, going to be learning about his dragon, and working with him... it was a day that he had never thought would come and yet here it was.

Tural lifted his head, snuffling at Kliken's hand before he went back to looking around once more. Everything in the place was quite new to him, the tall ceilings, long halls, and so many various scents to sniff around at.

It took a little longer then Kliken would have liked to get to the class as the little dracling seemed interested in everything that they ran across wanted to sniff it and lick it... it would seem the dragon had a fascination with tasting things.

The leech opened the door up to the classroom and let Tural go in first before following after him, "Ahh... S-Sorry... we are l-late." He said, his nerves getting the best of him, causing him to stutter, "H-He was having f-fun looking at stuff..." He trailed off when Tural went up to the teacher, sitting back on his haunches and lifted up to his back legs so that he could sniff at the teacher, giving a chirping sound of greeting.

Kliken took a seat at one of the desks watching as Tural scooted closer to the teacher to sniff at him a bit more before opening his mouth to taste the teacher. The leech flushed a bit though it was hard to see against his dark skin, "S-Sorry... he has this h-habit of tasting everything..." He sounded quite embarrassed by it, not wanting people to dislike Tural because he tasted them, "I-Is that... normal? W-Will he grow our of it?"

Kliken nodded, "I-I watched him h-hatch. He ate h-his egg shells and the k-kelp wrapped around it." He said, then thought about everything that Tural had made an attempt at tasting and eating since then, "He is h-hungry a lot. W-What if he eats to much? Won't he g-get a stomach ache?"

Tural spent a moment more tasting the teacher before he sat back once more, deciding the teacher tasted good but wasn't want he wanted to eat. He lowered himself down to his feet and went snuffling along to search the classroom for anything interesting that may be within arms reach.

Kliken watched the dragon as he wandered then looked at the teacher, giving a happy smile, "Y-Yes, we eat t-together though... h-he has more meals in a day t-then me."

Kliken gave a nod, "I can do that." He murmured, relaxing as he talked with the teacher, his stutter lessening. Mr. Coleman seemed really nice, it made him wonder why he had been so scared of him when they last crossed paths. The boy turned to watch Tural making a mental note to make sure to have food on hand he could snack on when Tural ate, "Can dragon's s-swim right after they eat? Or should t-they wait half an hour?"

His mother made him wait a half an hour after he ate before he could swim again, so that he didn't get cramps is what she told him. He wondered if dragons were the same or if they were immune to such things.

Tural reached the blackboard, starring up at the markings on it that made no sense to him before pushing up to his hind legs to sniff at it... then lick it. The dracling gave a sound of surprise then coughed, finding the dusty taste of the surface none to his liking.

Kliken lifted a hand up to keep from giggle when Tural rubbed a hand against his tongue to get rid of the chalk board flavor. He looked at the words on the board, reading them over before asking, "Is t-there anything we should w-worry about?" The things on the board were strengths but he worried about any possible weakness that Tural might have that he needed to watch for, "I want to p-protect him, keep him safe."

Kliken listened closely before nodding, "We do. H-Have a pool I mean, its for Tural to swim in. So I will make sure t-there is no chlorine in it." He said with a smile, he didn't think there was since there were plants growing in it and fish living in it just in case Tural ate fish or decided one day he wanted to eat fish.

He looked over at Tural, thinking hard on whether there was anything else he could think of that he wanted to ask the teacher about, "I-I think that is all of m-my questions for now."

Tural was currently pawing at one of the desks, seeming to have gotten over the bad taste the blackboard left in his mouth and had moved on to exploring new stuff. At the mention of swimming he turned to look over at his boy, small eyes going wide. They were going to go swimming? He gave a happy chirp and shuffled over to Kliken, nudging against his legs.

Kliken got to his feet at the insistance of his dragon and turned to the teacher, "T-Thank you. I-It was a helpful class." He said, giving a bright smile. He was glad to hear that Tural had a tough hide, that he would be able to withstand damage were the worst to happen, "I-If I learn anything I w-will call you."

He started toward the door when the teacher said they were free to go, getting nudged along by the Cruzoor who was now eager to go swimming. The classroom was interesting but the pool at home was more so! Tural's long tail was lashing in delight when the door to the classroom was opened up by his boy and he went shuffling out through it.

"G-Goodbye." Kliken said to his teacher, giving a wave before he follow after Tural, crying out, "No don't lick that!" Before the door closed after them...
