"I'm sorry."
The newt stood there a moment letting the words hang out in the air before him before he sighed. No that didn't sound like enough.
"I'm sorry I was such a jerk. Can you ever forgive me?" He stated outloud again trying to listent o his words hoping they sounded sincere enough. For he was being sincere. He missed the owl boy horridly likfe had jsut not been the same since they had broken up. He fiddeled with the cyrstal in his shorts pocket in a worried manner.
He black dragon was no where to be seen, flately refusing to join Chath in his mushy gathering.
Chath paced a bit, he couldn't help it, he was nervous...this would be his first time he had seen Ligeia in ...what seemed like forever. Chewing on his lower lip he nervously looked at his watch before trying to calm his racing heart down.
Taking his spray bottle his misted himself over hoping he wouldn't pass out . . .that would be embaressing. But he still paced unable to control his movements as he did so. Ah..Geia would be here any moment...at least..he hoped so.

There was the sound of wings over head, those of the Frost Dragon that was carrying Ligeia down off of the roof toward the destine meeting spot. He wasn't sure how much he liked the idea of his boy meeting up with some stranger. It seemed... odd to him. He worried that Ligeia was to nice for his own good, to trusting and that it would get him into trouble, "You will be careful." The Frost said, giving his boy a very serious look.
"I will be careful, as careful as possible and if there is any danger I will use my magic." He promised, hopping down off of his dragon's back and brushed himself off. As strong as he was trying to be there was a tint of nervousness to his voice. He was coming here to meet someone, an admirer and he was... unsure of himself.
What if the person admiring him thought that he was a girl since this was the first time they would be meeting in person? It wasn't the first time that it would have happened...
He brushed himself off, straightened the clothing that he was wearing which today happened to be a blue sun dress with shorts under it and his favorite shoes that made him feel tall because they pushed him to the five foot marker. He lifted a gloved hand to make sure that his hair was straight before he turned around ready to wait for... whoever he was waiting for...
An almost horrified sounding squeak escaped him, one he smothered by lifting his hands up to clap them over his mouth when he found himself starring at none other then, "C-Chath?!" He squeak, looking up at the very much different then he remembered newt.

He heard the wing beats in the air but he couldn't bring himself to look for the dragon. He was too afriad that Ligeia would see him and then decide this was some sort of cruel joke and leave. Trying to steady his nerves he chewed on his lower lip again.
Chath turned or rather whirled around as he heard a choked voice speak his name, he was expecting Ligeia and...he had to look down way down to finally see him. There was that awkward silence as he stared at Ligeia taking in the owls pretty face and wasn't even weirded out by the blue dress.
Realizing he was staring the newt backed up a couple steps, his brownish skin tinged red as he rubbed the back of his head in an embaressed manner.
"Ahaha..ha....I am glad you made it.." He started off trying to laugh off the awkwardness that was building. It was aparant he hadn't thought of what to say passed the apology.
Shifting on the spot he spotted Vorel and gave him a wave, "Hey there Vorel!" He called out to the dragon, hoping that Vorel wasn't going to get mad at him as well. He then looked to Ligeia expecting the worse.

Vorel gave a 'hmph' sound and looked away, not responding to the greeting from the newt. After all the newt boy was the one who made his owl so sad for so long, until Ligeia said it was alright he wouldn't talk to him. The Frost dragon turned around to give the pair his back before flopping down to lay there. He was pointed 'ignoring' everything going on... though given the way he tilted his head he would be able to hear everything. Just in case he needed to jump in.
Ligeia shifted in place, looking up at the newt and looked strangely unsure of himself as he went over Chath's words. 'Glad he made it' the other boy had said, "It was... you?" He murmured, "You sent those gifts, the poem...?"
He was trying to wrap his mind around all of it, it didn't make sense to him. They were apart so long, broke up through letters and... now Chath was back and very different. He took a step back away from the taller boy, "What... do you want?" He asked, looking away, "Why would you want to see me after everything that happened?"

Awkward. Chath stood there wondering if this had been such a good idea. He bilnked a couple times as he observed the owl, he could see that Ligeia was very unsure of this perdicament. Rather than being excited that it was Chath he was confused, not that he could blame him.
Shifting onto his other foot he rubbed the back of his head again, a nervous habit he had picked up when he wasn't sure how to act. He noticed Vorel was ignoring him pointedly, he was glad Keir hadn't come then. He didn't need another fight breaking out between his dragon and others.
Clearing his throat he nodded his head at Geia's question he felt a tinge of red on his face, it felt strange it was like meeting with some other person he didn't know. Geia was...so short now....and not acting like he normally did, happy bubbly, though considering the situation there wasn't currently anything to be happy about.
It hurt to see Ligeia look away from him, one part of him wanted to make Geia look at him buthe didn't dare touch him despite how much he wanted to.
"I....wanted to apologize to you." He started coughing a bit as he found the words catching in his throat. "I didn't behave very maturely about the whole thing...." He continued kicking a small rock near his toe, he looked tot he ground and then to the sky before returnign his gae to fixate on the boy in front of him.
"A lot of things have changed, I've..been going through a rough time...instead of talking it through with you; I kept it to myself cause I didn't want you to worry. Then I got your letter..." he trailed off and he looked back down to the ground and felt the old coals of anger trying to relight but he pushed it back. He didn't need to get mad at Ligeia. They had both been to blame for not seeing each other, but it was his fault for not fighting for what they had.
Placing his hands in his pockets his fingers touched the tip of the red hearted cyrstal and he felt the courage come back to continue.
"What I wrote in that letter is hurtful; and I am sorry. I didn't want to break up with you...somehow my brain came to the conclusion that if it was what you wanted then I had no say in it. . ." Pulling a hand out of his pocket again he held the jewel in the palm of his fist his other hand went to rub the back of his neck as he tried to figure out the next best words.
"But I've come to realize that...I...don't want us to be over. And that I've been miserable without you. I...I want to give it a second try...that is...if your willing." He concluded feeling his heart beggining to race in his chest. He dreaded Ligeia's response.

Ligeia looked Chath up and down, trying to take in all the changes he'd gone through. He was so much taller now, to the point that Ligeia felt as though he were a child in comparison, his coloration had changed, his arm was growing back, there was so much different about him.... so much that Ligeia had missed watching happening because they were apart.
"Why are you apologizing?" He asked, sounding confused, "It was my idea for us to break up, you shouldn't have to be sorry for my decisions. If... I had worded things better then maybe I wouldn't have hurt you so much that you felt the way you did." If he'd tried harder in his letter then Chath wouldn't have felt the need to lash out...
The newt's next words came as a complete shock, ones that stunned Ligeia into silence. He wanted them to try again? He couldn't help but stare now. A second chance, "I... don't know, I don't want to be responsible for hurting you again, you don't deserve that." He murmured, afraid that he would do something he thought was for the best again that only led to a lot of bad feelings before them. Wouldn't it be easier for them to go their own ways instead of taking that risk?
Vorel shifted, turning around and looked at the pair, not liking how his boy was looking... so unsure of himself. It wasn't normal for Ligeia, Ligeia who could walk into any situation in girls clothing with a smile on his face, full of confidence.
Strange that one person could cause such a change in him... Vorel found himself starring at Chath wondering if he should chase the boy off, get rid of him so that he could take his owl flying. Flying always made him happy! He didn't want to interfere though so he remained silent.
Ligeia look up at the newt for a moment, "I don't know but... I do know that... that I have missed you." He said, having a hard time getting the words out because those words and the emotions tied to them were ones he'd tried hard to ignore for a long time now.

Chath shifted on the spot again though Geia has said he didn't have to apologize he felt that he needed to. He hurt Ligeia just as much as he hurt him but he was the one who had lashed out. He had tried his best to try and make amends...of course by not putting his name on the gifts it was hard for Geia to have known that it was him.
Although he had gone through many changes physically as well mentally, he didn't like the look that Geia had on his face, it made his heart ache painfully. He didn't want to upset Geia more, maybe he should leave..maybe this had all been a terrible mistake.
He stayed rooted where he was, he had to let Ligeia know how he felt. If he didn't now then there was no way he would be able to build up the courage again. He reached out to take Geia's gloved hand in his. Such a simple gesture but even just this little bit of contact made his face flush a bit. Turning the owl's hand over and released the heart crystal that was in his fist.
He paused a moment as if trying to find the right words instead he curled Geia's fingers around the small crystal. Engraved in it was Ligeia's name.
"I've missed you too.." He murmured in agreement, he was starting to feel a bit light headed. "I...won't push you..but.." he released his hand from Ligeia's although it lingered a moment.

The owl gave a bit of a jolt of surprise when Chath took hold of his hand and he looked up at the newt, "Chath?" He murmured then looked down when something was pressed into his hand. He lifted it up to look it over, looking at the shining, heart shaped crystal that was placed in his hands and his eyes went wide, "Oh... wow, pretty." He said before lifting it up and hugged the item to his chest.
He tried to hide his flush with his bangs before murmured quietly, "You don't... have to keep buying me stuff. I mean... just having you around was all that I wanted." He sounded quite embarrassed having to admit such a thing out loud.

Chath nodded his head his hand coming back to touch Geia's arm. He looked like his face would be perminantly be tinged red. He shifted a bit still wondering if this was such a good idea. He was terrible trying to come up with words that made sense..
"..I know...I can't buy you back with pretty things..and I owe you so much more than a simple apology..." He murmured wondering if he should stop and spray himself over...but he felt it may ruin what chance he had with Geia...any chance he had getting back together with him.

The owl shifted one gloved hand to lay it gently on the newt's hand. He gave him a smile, wanting to do more, had the urge to hug him, cling to him... but worried he might hurt Chath who had such sensitive skin. So instead he just held onto his hand and smiled up at him, "And... I owe you a lot to... I know that I was treating you more like a child I was protecting then as a boyfriend and... I am sorry."
He gave Chath a little unsure look, "Do you think... you can forgive me? I know that I will continue to do it... I just want to look after everyone, I know it but can't really keep myself from doing it..."

Chath felt his heart skip a beat as Geia touched his hand, and then he smiled...he opened his mouth to say something, of course he forgave Ligeia, he never thought he could be so happy about the fact he had been forgiven.
"Of...course...thats...one of.." he felt himself going more light headed, suddenly he blacked out, his vision went black he was losing the sense of feeling and then he ground.

The owl gave a sound of surprise when Chath started to wobble, this time he at least as he knew what was going on he lunged forward to catch him... then as he did he recalled that the newt was no longer as small as he used to be... and he gave an 'oof' sound when he landed on his backside with Chath in his arms, "Well... that didn't work very well." He murmured, he lifted a hand to stroke Chath's hair in a gentle manner, "Silly newt... you should have misted yourself." He chastised him despite Chath being unable to hear him in his current state.
He looked over his shoulder at Vorel, then motioned to him to come over, "We need to get him in out of the sun. We can get him some water once we get inside." He told the dragon.
It took a bit of doing, careful maneuvering on the part of both the owl and the dragon to get the newt onto Vorel's back and they headed inside. He felt that same, overwhelming urge to take care of things that always seemed to get him into trouble, "We will bring him to our room, he can lay down and rest while we get his drink."
Vorel wasn't sure how much he liked the idea but nodded, carrying the unconscious newt along because Ligeia asked him to.

Chath would curse himself later for ruining the mood but as it was now the poor guy was unconcious. He would remain so until he ended up whereever Ligeia took him. It was rather ironic...he didn't want to be treated as a child and here he was once again being taken care of once more.
Once they arried to where they were headed Chath stirred a moment. He groaned slightly.

Chath was carefully deposited into the hammock in Ligeia's room and the Frost dragon plopped down off to the side of the room to watch the newt while the owl left the room to go and search the kitchen for something he could use to wet down the newt. He had no mist bottle that he could find but maybe just a cup of water? He turned on the tap of the sink, filled the glass, and headed back toward the room.
He set it down on the ground and held a hand a over it, "Lets see..." He hadn't really practiced his pure water magic, instead always put his heart into the study of his ice magic. He lifted his hand up, letting his magic flow through the water and lifted it up... after a bit of manipulation using a spell similar to what he used when he made it snow he got the water in the cup to start to rain on the newt in hopes it would help to revive him.
It was a lot easier to do when he had some water to use so he didn't have to conjure it.

It took a moment for Chath to be revived by the shower he was recieving from Ligeia. His eyes fluttered open he looked disoriented and a bit confused to what he was laying on as well where he was. He groaned a bit placing a webbed hand on his forhead.
"Ah...I did it again didn't I?" He murmured with a half smile as he looked up to see Ligeia, a smile on his face feeling for once not annoyed at all that Ligeia was looking after him. He shifted on the hamac ..he had never been in Ligea's room before.
"Hmmm...thanks.." He said as he felt the water soak into his skin.
