(( sweatdrop If the title isn't good, just tell me, and I'll change it. I didn't know what else to put.))
Oliver bit his lip as he found himself, once again, being ushered through the doors of a classroom. This...wasn't so bad though. He knew this place! It was the pretty classroom that was run by thhat red-haired teacher. Mr. Solon, that was it. It always baffled him, this room. He simply couldn't figure out how it could be made to look like outside. Perhaps the door was a portal, like Grimm had created in Kami's apartment?
Oh well. He glanced up at his mother, stubby ears wiggling a little as he gave her puppy eyes. He had gotten a lot better at going to class since when he'd first attended in Kat's classroom.
The woman hugged her son gently as she followed him into the room, having the time to stay and perhaps make a quick introduction with the teacher before having to leave, this time. She chuckled softly at the little camel's expression. "You know very well that you'll be just fine...you've been here before." she ruffled his sandy hair, smiling and glancing about for Orpheus.

Orpheus for the moment didn't seem to be in sight but as he knew about the class he had to be around, with the lights on and the door open it meant that he was around.
From the left there was a sound of rustling in the bushes, a hissing sound, then Terpsichore came forth out of the foliage flarred up and hissing, arms thrown out to the sides as he did his best to scare the new comers to the class.
A split second after his appearance Orpheus was following after him, scooping the cobra child up in his arms, "Sorry about that." He said to the two, "Oliver, welcome back."

It was more than enough to effect poor Olly, who was very easy to spook. He wailed as the little snake appeared, and immediately hid behind his mother, whimpering. The camel couldn't remember being so horrified, even though he knew that it had been another child.
Kami jumped a bit as the baby cobra emerged, though she set to the task of consoling her little one. "Hello! It's fine, he's just a little jumpy." she said, managing to tug Olly back out. She commenced to smile, observing the cobra with great interest. What a handsome little creature! She'd never imagined there'd be a snake child.
Olly sniffled, stepping out again to wave to his teacher. "Hullo, Mr. Solon." he said, biting his lip as he watched the cobra. Harmless...sure. He swallowed hard, tring not to think badly. He was just little, afterall. And Kami said it was a bad thing to judge right away, when you didn't know a person.

Ter was hissing and laughing in amusement that someone had actually been scared by his 'surprise attack'. He coiled his tail around his father's tail before he turned his attention over to the woman that was with the camel child. His tail swished back and forth and he starred at her with big, yellow eyes before he flicked his tongue out at her, "Ter means well he's just been watching far, far to much GI Joe of late." He grummbled, and had taken far to much of a liking to the Cobra Commander.
Orpheus knelt down and Ter unwrapped himself from around the teacher's arm before slithering over to he camel child, grinning some, "Are you ready for class? Its simple enough I think from what I was reading about camels." He said, grinning. At least he was hoping that it would be easy.

Kami couldn't help but giggle a bit. What a charming little boy! She'd always liked reptiles. But, she stepped back a bit, waving to the teacher. "Be good, Olly!" she bid her child, and gave him a quick pat before she quitted the classroom with a grin.
Olly gave another soft whimper, watching his mother leave in dismay. He liked Orpheus, but he was horrified of the snake boy. Weren't cobras supposed to venomous? He tried to pay attention and remain polite, giving a weak smile. "Y-yes!" he said, his tail giving a switch. "Mama and I read about camels, too!" he said, though he quieted after that, not wanting to jump to conclusions. Teacher probably knew best, afterall.

"Thats good. And being a camel you would know a bit more what the information means. I can sorta understand the concept of water storage but not exactly how one goes about storing the water." He said as he lead the way over to where he had a blanket set up, "So what I figured what you trying out the idea on your own. I snagged a bunch of juice boxes from the cafeteria for you to practice with."
Ter tilted his head to the side trying to understand how juice boxes and a class were one in the same. He supposed that he would have to follow along and figured it out now wouldn't he? And while he was at it get one of those boxes of juice for himself.

Olly nodded, smiling, twiddling his fingers nervously. "Mama, and the book, said that the water's actually stored in the blood." he was unsure really how that worked. It had been stated that camels could go a very long time without needing food or water, though he wasn't too keen on doing that. "Yeah. That sounds like a good idea." he said with a smirk, willing to try anything that would further his knowledge. Once again, his mother had reassured him that knowing things would come in handy when he finally got to care for his dragon.

"Stored in the blood huh? This is one of those classes that I don't have an exact idea for so... we are mostly winging it." Orpheus admitted. Really this was one of those things that was harder to teach in his mind then flying he thought then sat down, "Alright. We have basically every sort of juice here and... well. We are gonna attempt the 'water storage' thing." He said, smiling. That or it was just gonna end up with Oliver needing to make a dozen trips to the bathroom.
Ter slithered his way over to coil up on the blanket, watching closely before eyeing the two of them, he looked back and forth before sliding his tail forward, wrapping it around a red box of juice and pulled it back to him to hide it in his coils. Orpheus seemed to miss it as he spoke with Oliver though so he figured himself the victor.

Oliver nodded vigorously, agreeing. The book had said a lot of things, most a bit complicated and hard to remember. He'd have to go and read it again after he got home. "Okay!" Olly said, sitting down as well, eager to give things a try.
He watched Ter out of the corner of his eye, and wasn't as bothered as before. The way he moved was rather interesting. So fluid, and without even using legs.

Orpheus smiled, "Alright. Well here we go then." He said getting the first juice box, put a straw in it, and handed it to Oliver. He wondered how they would know if it would work.
Ter leaned forward resting his elbows on his coils and his head on his hands. He watched them closely curiously, before he picked up his box of juice, bit into it, and then drank the red drink out of the box silently.

Oliver started to drink, not really knowing either. "Maybe," he said, between a sip, "I could stop drinking stuff and see how long I can go before..." he thought for a moment. Till he...passed out? DIED!? He smiled nervously. "Nevermind." he said, and continued to drink, until he finished, and picked up another box.

Orpheus was already shaking his head before Oliver changed his mind, "I am sure that its something simpler then that. Maybe its not even something you have to think about as much as something you just DO as a camel?" He would see that as being something someones body would automatically do were be designed to do so.
"Maybe you can drink up a few things of juice then go play and test it out? See if you get thirsty from teh play or if you stored some of the drinks your downing down now and don't need it later?" He suggested.

Oliver thought that sounded good. "Yeah. That's sounds...sensible." he said, chuckling a little, not having wanted to starve himself of water. He continued to drink, thinking. The book had said something about camel's humps too, so he decided to share the knowledge.
"Lots of people think camels keep water in their humps, but it's not true." he said with a little smirk.

Orpheus gave a laugh, "Is that so? I will admit that for the longest time that is what I thought too. Just don't tell I am supposed to be a smart teacher after all." He said jokingly. The man then turned his eyes on Ter who was silently gnawing on the side of his stolen juice box drinking the red liquid through the many holes he had bitten in it, "Well now Ter I think I have a job for you."
The cobra blinked a couple times then tilted his head, "Hiss?"
"Your gonna go play with Oliver once he's drank all his juice to see if the attempts at him being able to store it has worked." He told his son, patting him on the head gently.
Ter puffed up a bit then looked up at Oliver as if sizing him up then decided it wouldn't be that bad, especially since he'd had fun with him earlier... though that did involve scaring the camel child but... it was fun none the less. He supposed he could play with him. Besides he didn't get to play a lot since he was often 'to busy' aka glued to the tv watching his show.

Oliver continued to drink, his brows furrowing lightly as he listened to Orpheus speak to the little cobra. He was still a bit apprehensive over the reptilian hybrid. He wasn't small and fuzzy like Donat had been, and Olly knew he was poisonous. Maybe cobra weren't so poisonous when they were little? He hoped so.
It made him feel guilty to hold it against the snake. Perhaps Ter would want to play tag. That was a fun game, and it would give him a good chance to see if this would work or not.
