Welcome to Gaia! ::

After the meeting with Saedah and her father Kliken felt... a bit more desire to leave the house. Not much but a bit. So when he'd expressed the desire out loud his mother was more then eager to see that it happened. She saw about finding a place he could safely go swimming with Tural, saw about Than taking the boy, and shipped him off before he had the slightest chance to change his mind.

Kliken gave a soft, grumbling sound as the car stopped and Than got out, walking around to open the door for him. Before he could get out though Tural was lunging forth from the car, tail wagging wildly behind him as he looked around at the new place they'd come to swim. He was excited and it was far to easy to see that...

The leech got out of the car next, stretching out while Than fetched the bag from the back seat that contained all that might be needed for the swimming trip within it, packed by Kliken's mother herself, "Shall we go and find a nice place to lay down our towels?" Than asked of the boy, closing the doors and pressed the button on his key chain that would lock everything up automatically.

Kliken looked the man over before nodding, "Alright." He was rather glad that Than was along this time. It was the first time he'd really gone out and he really didn't want to be on his own, "Better hurry of Tural is going to leave us behind."

Than smiled and started forward toward the counter where they had to pay. Lucrecia had been sure to talk with the owners of the place, offer them a bit of extra money to allow in the young dragon with Kliken and Than when the three of them arrived as she knew Kliken wouldn't go somewhere that wouldn't allowed his friend inside. The money for the three of them was passed onto the manager and they were soon heading into the nice, fenced in pool. Than took up laying out the towels while Kliken watched Tural shuffle forward, sliding into the clear water and proceeded to swim about along the bottom.

The leech boy gave a chuckle as he tied back his hair and tossed his shirt over to land on his towel, "Gonna come swimming Than?" He asked of his friend.

Than gave a shake of his head, holding up a bandaged forearm, "Can't get the bandages wet but you go ahead, I will keep an eye on you both from here." He said with an assuring smile.

Kliken nodded before making his way to the shallow end of the pool, moving into the water slowly so that he could get used to it.

Kliken sank into the water, happy when it closed over him and let himself settle for a moment at the bottom of the pool. Being able to stay under the water for as long as he wanted made swimming one of the most enjoyable things ever. He looked around seeing a lot of legs and then the form of his dragon swimming along at the bottom of the pool toward where he was.

He gave a smile and reached his hands out toward him. The dragon gave his tail a swish to move faster over to Kliken and the leech caught hold of him as he went by, holding onto him as they went speeding along the bottom of the pool. The pair were leaving the shallow end when Kliken saw a flash of blue off to the side, a familiar pattern of a familiar person. He turned his head to try to get a look before he gave Tural a nudge with one leg to get him to turn around to head back.

The Cruzoor made a turn and started to head in the direction that the leech was pointing... toward a rather pretty colored snake. Ohhh... a blue, striped version of Saedah! Tural's weak vision saw the long hair and instantly thought it was another pretty snake girl so he quickened his pace to hurry and meet her.

Drez rather liked this, getting to find someone that he had met before he had gotten spooked by the frightening people from D-Corp. Drez always had a nice smile that made him appear as one that was good to be around. The leech boy released Tural when they got close to the snake boy and reached his hands out to him, feeling quite excited. Given they were underwater he wouldn't be able to say anything but he would at least get to greet him with a touch of his hand.

The ability to breath under the water made it a lot easier to find his friend and now that he was ready to surface whenever Drez needed too.

As Kliken released his hold the Cruzoor continued on, swimming a circle around the pair before he settled down on the bottle of the pool to watch the two of them. He squinted slightly, gathering the scents in the water best that he could. The snake had a different sort of scent to Saedah, one that made him curious.

Kliken gave a grin under the water as the snake boy blew the bubbles at him before he found the two of them heading for the surface. It was almost like the rides that he got from Tural only Drez was holding onto him instead of the reverse which was so with Tural.

"Did I?" Kliken asked, looking down at himself. Since he saw himself all the time it was harder for him to see the changes in himself but it caused him to smile none the less, "I'll take your word on it." He couldn't help but be in a better mood talking with the snake boy, he was so nice and didn't seem in any manner scary as some people he'd run into were.

It was a moment later that Tural surfaced beside the two boy and gave a little snorting sound, quite unamused at being left behind like that.

Kliken reached one hand out to pat Tural on the head before looking over at Drez, "Drez, this is Tural! He is a Cruzoor dragon." He told his friend before glancing over at his partner, "And Tural this is Drez."

Tural sniffed at the air before swimming in closer so that he could get a better position to sniff at Drez then licked him.

Kliken kicked his feet to move over to Tural and held onto him, using him as a floatation device, "He is a wonderful dragon." The leech boy agreed, nuzzling against Tural's smooth skin, "He is a lot of fun to hold onto while swimming too, he can pull me all over the place. I am thinking on getting him a harness to wear so I can hold onto him better tough since his skin is really smooth." He lacked the same horns and spines like other dragons that Kliken had seen which at times made it a bit harder to hold onto him. When it got bigger it would be even more so.

"Do you maybe want to try it?" He asked, wanting to return the favor of the ride to the surface that Drez had give him, "Oh! Really? I would be honored to get to meet your dragon when it hatches." He said, giving a grin that showed many sharp teeth.

Tural seemed to relax and then grow rather delighted as attention was given to him from both boys along with high praise. This was nice, how he thought that it should be he decided and he gave a happy sound, tail thumping and splashing against the surface of the water to show his delight.

"Hear that, Tural? We are going to make yo look quite handsome." Kliken told the Cruzoor as Drez spoke of ways to decorate his harness that he was hoping to make for the dragon soon. He looked over at his snake friend again before giving a little nod of his head, patting his Dragon's back, "You just lay across his back and hold to where his shoulders are. He laid his hands on to of Drez's hands, sliding them forward to show him where to hold onto, "Then tell him to go and he will take you for a fun ride."

He was happy to be able to share the fun that was riding Tural around with his friend, he had a lot of fun doing it and it got one around pretty fast when it came to moving through the water, faster then he could move himself since he lacked fins or a tail of his own.

Tural gave another happy round of sounds, splashing his tail against the water's surface as he awaited Drez to get ready, wanting to go!

Kliken kicked his feet to backpedal away from the pair before he smiled, "Alright, have fun!" He told them, giving a sharp toothed grin.

Tural heard Drez's order and he took a deep breath before going under, pulling the snack boy along in the same manner that he did with his own boy. They moved swiftly along the bottom of the pool, dodging around the people that were in the water before he pushed off the bottom with his little feet to start toward the surface again. It was almost amazing how much faster the dragon was able to move about in the water compared to the way that he shuffled around out of it.

The leech boy worked on treading water as he watched the pair as they sped off only to surface some distance away causing him to chuckle. So long as they were both having fun he thought to himself.

Tural gave a chirp of agreement before he made a wide turn to start back toward where he could see Kliken treading water. He was pleased to see his boy talking with someone else, it didn't seem as though he got out nearly enough, rarely talked with others that weren't part of the family, so he was starting to like Drez more and more as they spent time around the snake child. Not to mention that Drez was playing with him which always got bonus points in his mind. The only way that he could like the snake any better then he did right now was if he gave him something to eat!

The leech boy gave a smile when the pair arrived, swimming over so that he could lean over this dragon once more, using Tural as a flotation device so that he didn't have to kick as much to stay above the water, "Did you have fun, Drez?" He asked, sounding hopeful of the fact that the snake boy had enjoyed himself and the ride that he'd gotten on Tural's back.
