Tyyne was being given a bit more freedom now that Evari was older; Xai figured that if Evari got more freedom it was only fair to give Tyyne the same amount. So now she trusted her to go out on her own? Well...okay. But what was she supposed to do? All she wanted to do was grow her garden...but...perhaps she could go out and find new plants to try and grow? That was a possibility. She had wandered around town for quite awhile before she came across a lovely forest, her eyes wide and sparkling with delight as she stared around at all the pretty flowers and different kinds of plants all around her. It was so pretty! She giggled and watched a few creatures of the forest go about their daily lives, not even paying her any mind. It wasn't as if she was a threat. In fact it looked like she belonged here! But before long she was rather thirsty, rubbing at her throat until she heard the sound of water. Water? Oh...oh dear...the idea of being near water made her heart clench with fear, her hands shaking as her ears perked and she stared towards a river. Oh, it was just a river. Just a river...not like...he would be there. He had been in the ocean. So clearly he only lived in the ocean. Clearly.
And so she worked up the courage to go near the river, pursing her lips and looking around. Nothing. No sign of that strange boy. Tyyne let out sigh of relief and bent her legs to get closer to the river, cupping her hands and gathering up some of the cool water. She brought her hands to her lips and sipped at it, closing her eyes. Ahhh! This felt so much better!

The only reason he happened to be in the area was the fact that he'd learned a valuable lesson about prey type animals and the fact that they often congregated near fresh water. It was the perfect place to lie in wait so that he could pounce and make short work of the many, delicious creatures of the forest. It was what he'd been doing when a new sort of prey approached the water and his eyes went a bit wide as he looked up through the water at the deer princess that was standing there. She was... back? After the last time they crossed paths he really didn't expect to see her again. More over he found himself wondering if her friend was nearby, that cowardly girl that was neither princess or knight.
He grumbled to himself over that one before he started to move along the bottom of the river bed, taking it slow so as not to draw any attention to himself. He would treat the situation as though he were hunting a normal deer though with less biting and more entangling he told himself, he would need to be on guard though in case the blue haired girl who dared to punch him was around somewhere nearby. His long coils gathered up under him, his wing like fins twitched, and he seemed to be preparing himself to lunge at the unsuspecting princess...

She drank another handful of water before opening her eyes and just relaxing at the edge of the river, a warm smile on her face as she rest a hand just over the top of the water. It tickled! Tyyne giggled and trailed her fingers over the running water until she heard a tiny ripple and splash that wasn't consistent with the rest of the running water. Her head lifted sharply and her ears perked high, a reaction very similar to a normal deer. ".....Hello?" She called out in a soft voice, frowning and playing with her hair nervously. She didn't see anyone.
...Wait...what was that shadow in the water? It was huge! Tyyne squinted and leaned forward a bit, trying to make out the strange shape in the water. Was that...a rock?

Leviathan starred up through the water at Tyyne, watching the manner in which she seemed to be leaning in closer to the surface of the water likely trying to better see who was starring out of the water at her. That wasn't good he thought to himself, he'd seen the way that she could run when she got all four of her legs working for her right. As such he couldn't allow her to figure out who he was before he could catch hold of her or else she would be long gone before he could do much about it since he was a lot slower then he would like on land.
He shifted a bit more, making sure that his coils were prepared before he made a lunge for the deer girl, as he did so he found himself realizing that she seemed... a lot smaller then he remembered, then again he was a lot bigger then the last time they had met, wasn't he? He could only hope that the sneak attack from a water source that wasn't within his territory would be startling enough that he would be able to catch hold of her again.

Whatever it was it was staring right back at her. And she didn't like that. What was this feeling of dread...? It...it was telling her to run. And so Tyyne began to stand, slowly so as not to startle the thing staring at her but quickly enough that she could get away if she had the chance. Maybe it was friendly? H-hopefully it was friendly. Please be friendly!
...GAH! NO! IT WASN'T FRIENDLY! It wasn't friendly at all! Tyyne's eyes widened as big as they could possibly get and she let out a strangled cry, stumbling to get up but slipping in her panic. How was he here?! No! No he couldn't be here! This wasn't the beach! It was a river in the middle of the forest! And he was bigger! Tyyne tried to get up as quickly as she could, skittering a bit and losing her footing in a soft patch of dirt near the river. No! She was stuck! She whimpered and tugged at her foot, seeming to get it more and more stuck in the mud the harder she struggled. Noooo! He was going to catch her if she didn't get free! Where was Evari? Why had she gone somewhere without Evari?!

Leviathan was a little worried by the fact that he'd missed with his initial lunge at her but was pleased to see that she had somehow gotten herself stuck. How wonderful! His lips turned up into a happy smile as he lifted up on his coils and slithered over to her, "You seem to have gotten yourself trapped, Deer Princess." He said, seeming to be quite happy about her predicament from the look on his face. His wing fins fluttered before he set to looking around, "You look to be alone today, what a nice turn of events I would much rather capture you instead of that... friend of yours." He didn't sound at all impressed when it came to Evari.
As he got closer he reached a hand out to pat the deer girl on the head, feeling the overwhelming urge to pounce on her and tangle her up in his coils so that she wouldn't be able to race off the moment she got that foot free from the ground... he did the latter of the two things, the end of his tail sliding forward to try to catch hold of some of her free feet, wanting to entangle her and keep her from racing off the moment it she was able.
"You seem awestruck, I bet you missed me terribly, didn't you, Deer Princess?" He said, giving her a toothy grin.

Tyyne whimpered and leaned away from him as best as she could as the boy came closer, tugging at her leg with her hands now instead of just pulling it out of the mud. It wasn't working, she was stuck. Stop calling her Deer Princess! She wasn't a princess! He also looked far too happy that she was stuck here, frowning deeply and whimpering again. She was alone. Her sister wasn't here...ugh. "M...my sister will be here any time I...y...you better leave me alone!" She cried pathetically. She closed her eyes and ducked her head as he pat her head, not wanting him to touch her despite knowing she probably had no choice now. Nonono! Go away! Leave her aloooone!
His moving tail made her gasp and panic again, trying to push him away. But it was too late, she was stuck and trapped. It wasn't fair. Why did he want her? Tyyne looked away from him when he grinned at her, staring at a nearby tree and looking ready to cry at any moment. She wanted to cry. She wanted to go. "No I didn't miss you." She whined, holding her hair like a security blanket and trying to free herself still. "I-I'm not a deer princess! My name is Tyyne!" Tyyne let go of her hair to try and push his tail away some more, getting desperate to get away from him. She knew it was a useless effort but...but she was going to try anyway!

Levi prickled a bit before looking around the area, so that blue haired girl was about? Well he wouldn't be fooled by her a second time nor would he so easily relinquish the deer princess again now that he'd gotten his coils on her a second time, "Is that so? Well she will actually have to fight me for you this time around instead of running away like a coward." He said, arms crossing over his chest for a moment making him look quite unhappy, as though Evari fleeing the last time had really bothered him.
"I should move you back to my territory while the other girl is away." He murmured to himself, he would have even better reason then to defend his stolen deer princess were he in his own territory. After all if they were at the beach Evari would be an invader as well as a would be thief after one of his treasures.
It would appear as though the part where she told him that she didn't miss him didn't register in his mind through the useful skill called 'selective hearing' though the part where she introduced herself did, "Tyyne is it? My name is Leviathan." He said, giving a toothy smile as though the two of them were having a nice sit down where they had to introduce themselves. It was obvious that Levi was a little off kilter.

He believed her! Yay! So maybe that meant...oh...darn. Tyyne's ears lowered and flattened against the sides of her head when he told her Evari would just have to fight him and not run again. But...but he...couldn't he just let her go?! Why did he-- "No!" Tyyne cried at his musing to move her, her sensitive ears catching his murmur. No! Don't move her! Just let her go home! Why did he keep doing this?! "Pl-please don't! Just let me go. Please. Y-you don't want me I'm not a princess!" She continued to protest, trying to get it into his head. He sure had got bigger! And he had wing things now? But why? Did he fly?! Oh no!
Tyyne gasped and tried to lean away more as he introduced himself and flashed his teeth, managing to lean enough that her hoof pulled from the mud. She gasped again but didn't say anything, not even looking down at her foot. This boy was crazy. If he knew she wasn't stuck anymore who knows what he'd do! "I see...ah..um..you better let me go, Leviathan! I'll...I'll..." Tyyne bit her lip for a moment and looked around, her ears perking as she remembered she had one method of defense. "I-I'll hurt you!" She said with the ferocity of...well...a fawn. Nothing says terrifying and intimidating like a pouting little blonde girl very nearly shaking with fear.

He shook his head, "I can't let you go after catching you again after so long, its Fate that we met again." Likely it was closer to pure luck but he preferred to call it Fate since that made it seem as though it were meant to be as opposed to odds stacked against him. The end of his tail swished in a delighted manner, "Mmm... you know when I was younger just the claim that you weren't a princess would have made me sad and I would have abandoned you on my quest to find a real princess but... I am older and wiser now." Alright he wasn't exactly wiser but he was older!
The sea dragon blinked a couple of times as the girl was suddenly threatening him and he couldn't help but to chuckle, "Is that so? Alright, deal! You fight it out with me and win and I will let you go, no strings attached." He told her, shifting so that he was ready for her first attack, he was always eager for a fight not to mention he was curious if it were possible for the trembling deer girl to be able to beat him in a duel so he was more then happy to allow her to try.
"Just keep in mind though if you lose the battle you owe me!" He said, grinning from ear to ear.

Fate didn't like Tyyne, apparently! His comment about being older and wiser made her whine, putting her hands over her eyes and trying not to cry. This wasn't fair! This boy was crazy! But when he chuckled at her poor threat she blushed, frustrated and really wanting to escape. But...but if she beat him she could go home?! Really? Just like that! She didn't run away when he shifted, looking down at her legs to find he was still only wrapped around one. She was nervous now, unsure of if he was telling the truth. Would he really just...let her go? And stop trying to kidnap her? Really? He'd stop scaring her? That was all she wanted, really.
"O-okay...owe you?" Her ears lowered again. Owe him?! Owe him what?!

Levi seemed to have to think about that one, wracking his brain for the perfect sort of thing that he wanted from his princess, "Lets... see..." He murmured, the end of his tail twitching in time with his wing fins. What did he want? His lips suddenly turned up into a bit of a smirk, "Well, you see being that I am the dragon that always automatically makes me the bad guy. The knights are the ones that get to save the stolen princesses and reap the rewards of that so... I want a knight's prize if I win."
He grinned in a delighted manner, he was so smart! Oh yes, he would get the most amazing of all prizes when he defeated the deer girl in the battle, "So its decided. I you win you get your freedom for now, you can run home and do... whatever it is that deer girls do buuuuuut if I win then you give me a kiss, deal?"

"You don't have to be a bad dragon." Tyyne said gently, frowning. Maybe she could convince him to be good! And then he'd-- "What?!" A kiss?! There...there was no way she was kissing him! She was just....she couldn't even...she was way too young to be kissing anyone! Much less Leviathan! But...but that just meant she had to win! Tyyne looked very hesitant to accept this deal. She didn't want to kiss him, she didn't want to even fight him! Ugh!
Tyyne eventually sighed with defeat and hung her head, hugging her middle. "Fine...deal..." She grumbled sadly, peering up at him through her hair. This was going to be so embarrassing. He was so much bigger than her, there was no way she could win. Yet she was determined not to kiss him! And so Tyyne bit her lip and just stared at him, whimpering and then finally moving forward to jab at him wherever she could reach with her antlers. They were her only form of defense other than just running! And obviously she couldn't run right now! Gah! His scales were hard! Tyyne frowned and did it again, looking very determined as she leaned more into her headbutting. Come ooooooon...she had to win!
...Like that was going to happen. He was probably just going to laugh at her again. This had been a horrible idea.

"Well I don't very well want to be a good dragon, where is the fun in that? I bet they don't get to battle any sorts of knights or steal princesses since they would be to nice for it." He had no desire to be a good guy, he rather enjoyed being the villain in the story.
He couldn't help but to grin a little bit at her reaction to his demands for the duel and its stipulations, "Deal." He said, tail wagging rapidly again as she actually agreed to what he'd asked. She really was a daring thing wasn't she? He really didn't think that Tyyne had it in her and yet here they were about to have it out in a duel! Time to see if those antlers and sharp hooves made effective weapons he thought as he braced himself for her first attack... and a moment later she was poking and jabbing at him with those horns of hers. He blinked a couple times and did his best not to laugh, he was struggling though and making snickering sounds before he lifted one hand up to cover his mouth.
He gave a cough to smother the laughter, "Maybe... if you put a little more force behind it? Brace your many feet against the ground and really throw your weight into it?" He suggested, not wanting to make this to easy for him to win because he wouldn't really feel as though he earned his prize then.

Tyyne pouted at his argument, really wishing he had agreed with her. But a girl could dream, huh? Sigh. "But...you could fight...um...o-other dragons? And bad people who try to, I don't know, take...your things?" She argued lamely, rubbing at her head and staring at his chest where she'd been headbutting him. It kind of hurt! His chest was hard and scaly! But she had to win. She just had to. There was no way she was kissing Levi, and there was no way she could stay here with him! Or go to his territory. "I wish Evari was here." She whimpered, not realizing she'd just...said that outloud and told him exactly what he'd like to hear. She'd told him Evari was around here! But now...oops.
She heard the snickering and she winced, frowning up at him and looking almost defeated. Almost. He was laughing at her. Tyyne blinked and stared dumbly at him as he gave his suggestion on...how to...fight him? Ouch. That kind of hurt, the fact that he needed to tell her how to fight him. But...but maybe she'd take his advice. Tyyne looked down at her feet and carefully moved them so she was standing more stably, looking unsure as she glanced up at him. Was he really trying to help her? But why? Didn't he want to win? Tyyne played nervously with her hair for a moment before letting it go and bowing her head so her antlers were pointed at him, closing her eyes tightly and this time really pushing off like she was jumping. Her antlers jabbed at him again, but since she never really worked at sharpening them they were incredibly dull. The force actually hurt her head and she winced, stepping back as much as he would let her and rubbing at her head around the base of her antlers. "Owww.." But she couldn't give up! She had to win, right? She shoved herself forward again, her antlers aimed for his chest. Ugh, this had been such a stupid idea. Why had she even considered trying to threaten him he was so much bigger than her now! He didn't even have to do anything and her head was hurting!
