Orpheus was standing in the terrain room that had the most trees growing in it, looking up one of the trees that his daughter had disappeared up before looking toward one that was covered in random ribbons of various colors. He had things set up for a climbing class, something that he'd done on a few occasions and one thing that he wished he was slightly better at himself as he'd be able to climb up after Maria and catch her before she left from one tree to another one. She seemed to be rather good at the skill already so he wouldn't be teaching her this one yet.
"Alright, she should be appearing any time." He murmured to himself, looking over the clipboard with the information on it he had at hand. He had met her in another class, one that had been quite interesting.
A note had gone home to Anataela asking for her wear out door clothing so that she would be alright with climbing among trees.

Outdoor clothing was not exactly something easily found in the young chameleon's closet full of lace and petticoats. Ana despised pants, but as she was eager to please her teacher (who she remembered from her earlier class) she had gritted her teeth and donned a pair of jeans and a pink hoodie. It wasn't like anybody who cared was going to see her in this dreadful outfit...
Entering the classroom, her dragon twining lovingly around her body rather like a giant feathered boa (he wore a blue sequined bow around his neck), Ana looked at all the trees and raised an eyebrow. She was not an outdoorsy sort of girl and she had no idea what was going to be expected of her.
"Hello mister Orpheus." She said when she spotted her teacher. A demure smile lit her face, she wanted to ramble on and on about her color changing and her dragon. But that was not ladylike. "This is Duvrush, my dragon." She said instead.

Orpheus gave a smile when he saw the girl appear with a rather bright colored and beautiful dragon adorning her, "Welcome back Anataela." He said with a smile before looking at the dragon, "And hello Duvrush." He greeted the pretty dragon.
"Thank you for coming in the right sort of clothing as we are going to be doing some climbing." He said, motioning to the tree that he was standing near that had all the colorful ribbons tied to it, "Each color is worth a different amount of points and you need ten points to finish up the class. Now there is one golden ribbon up there that is itself worth ten points."
He lifted his head toward the tree hearing the shift in the branches, "And you will also automatically pass if you can catch Maria... though that might be tough since she acts as though she were born in a tree."

The chameleon looked doubtfully at the trees, one eyebrow raised. Vienne would definitely not approve... tree climbing was not for ladies. On the other hand, she was supposed to do what her D-Corp instructors said. That was part of the deal for getting to keep Rush and she had begun to have a sneaking suspicion that not everybody shared her guardian's opinions of appropriate behavior for young ladies.
Her mind was made up, however, when Rush gave a melodic sort of chuckling noise. He was clearly pleased with the assignment and emanated satisfaction. Ana was fairly sure that the only reason her dragon was so enthusiastic was because he wanted her to tie the brightly colored ribbons around his body.
"Is Rush allowed to help?" The girl asked Orpheus thoughtfully. She was pretty sure she couldn't get away with having the dragon do all the work, but he could possibly help her locate the golden ribbon. Or the little girl. Ana was the type who, once she had committed to something, was geared toward excellency wether it was a reasonable goal or not.

"He can gather as many ribbons if he wishes to but for this class you need to collect the majority of them by yourself. So he can bring you a couple but his gathering ribbons won't help you in mastering the skill." He explained, he didn't want to deny the dragon the fun of climbing around in the tree and gathering ribbons if Duvrush the fun that was in the climbing game.
"He can feel free to try to catch Maria though she might end up just trying to talk him out of a feather since she loves souvenirs from the dragons she meets." He explain, giving the dragon a warning just in case.

Ana sighed to herself, but resolutely went up to the nearest tree and reached for the lowest branch. Her oddly shaped feet were suited for climbing and her tail seemed to coil and uncoil of it's own accord, lending balance. She felt a nudge on her bottom and glanced down, hiding a grin as Rush tried to help shove her up higher.
Once she was in the branches she went into camoflauge mode, her skin turning a soft brown color. Her clothes, however, did not change color and while her jeans worked alright, the pink of her shirt let the world know where she was. Not that it mattered, the chameleon set to the task of gathering ribbons while Rush slithered through the branches with apparent ease, letting out a trilling noise when he found a ribbon and ostensibly searching for Maria.

The ribbons were tied around random branches of the tree, some up high, some low, some closer in to the trunk of the tree while others were farther out. There seemed to be a method to how they were tied as well. The easier ones to get to were one color, then from there the ones that were harder and harder to obtain were different colors all depending on the range of difficulty to obtain. Each one that Anataela gathered brought her closer and closer to her goal of ten points.
Orpheus remained under the tree, watching and waiting, making sure that the girl was doing well and keeping safe, "You seem to have mastered your color changing ability." He commented as he saw the manner in which she herself shifted, "Its quite amazing."
Somewhere in the tree was the small pangolin girl who had set to following the sounds that the dragon was making, eyes full of awe. She'd never see a dragon that looked like this one before! Never saw one that had anything on it other then scales either. So pretty! When she got closer enough to him she wrapped her armored tail around a branch and let go of the others so she could swing down to hang in front of him, upside down, "Hello, hello!" She greeted Rush, a grin on her face, "You are a very pretty, pretty dragon! What kind are you? Are you a Prince like Hinder is?" She questioned him.
