Orpheus was waiting for Emer and Kale to appear, they'd made plans to meet up their families again and have dinner though before that they were gonna bring everyone to Orpheus's classroom to burn off some energy. Ter and Vorel both needed it, they were all but climbing the walls today. No doubt it was the rain, it just seemed to do that to some people. Ligeia though was as calm as ever and he was trying his hardest to keep them under control, though that was hard to do for just one owl child and Orpheus alone. What they needed was a bigger place to be able to run in.
Which was why he called Emer earlier, to modifiy things so that they could meet there instead of here. Well that and... well... his place was a bit more of a mess then was usual. She would no doubt get lost in the mess it was so bad, while Ter, Ligeia, and himself could navigate it a newcomer might have a hard time.
Orpheus sat down next to the door to way for Emer while Ter and Vorel ran amok with poor Ligeia following behind them trying to keep them from hurting each other or themselves in their game.

Emer's long legs at up the ground, Kale easily keeping up with her. She had thought the boy would be tall becuse of the gariffe, but he was going to be taller then she had orginally expected. He was already early at her shoulder, by the time he was a teenager he would be taller then her.
Kale had a slender bag slung over his shoulder and acrossed his chest. He smiled when he saw Orphues, running the last few feet towareds him, "Hi Orpheus! Ligiea is in there right?" It's not that he didn't like Ter, he just didn't know him, and it seemed the snake boy didn't like him much. And he hadn't seen Ligiea in a long time.

Orpheus set aside the paper he was readying, pushing to his feet when he saw Kale and Emer, a smile spreading over his face, "Hello there you two." He said before Kale started to talk, "Ahh, yes. Ligeia is..."
Just as he was about to say something a blue streak came out of no where, it was followed by Ter first hissing what could have been encouragements and just the opposite was Ligeia yelling both for Vorel to STOP and Emer to watch out! Vorel has smelled girl and decided it must be time for him to tackle another one. Nothing better then the prettypretties!
"Please! Vorel no!" Ligeia cried, unable to catch up with him in time before the frosty one jumped at Emer...

Emer's eyes widned and that was all she could do before she was suddnely pinned beneath the largish dragon. The wind mometrely knocked out of her. Wet slobbery kisses made her start to laugh as it tickled her.
Kale's eyes got wide as Emer was suddenly engulfed by the white dragon. The boy immedatelly leaped onto the dragon's back, struggling to pull Voler off of her. "Get off of my MOM!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.

Ligeia gave a squeak, lifting his wings up to hide behind them in embaressment as he saw another woman fall victim to one of Vorel's tackles, "Of man..." It was Kale's voice that made him peek out from behind them.
Orpheus took one step forward to help while Tersichore clapped and waved his arms fully amused by the 'game'. Sadly for poor Kale Vorel believed it to be the same thing. A game, the moment the boy jumped on his back the Frost Dragon bolted, carrying away the giraffe for a wild ride... With Ligeia following after calling out their names.
"Never a dull moment." Orpheus murmured, offering Emer a hand.

Kale's eyes went wide as the dragon went terraring threw the classroom. His hands hanging despreatly onto the dragon's neck. His long body bucking and flailing agaisnt the dragon as he was draged threw the clearing. A sharp turn sent him flying, luckly landing in the lake with a huge splash.
Emer took Orpheus hand as she rose she laughed dusting her pants off. Nodding towareds Ter, "And now you have another one to help keep things lively. And I bet he does." She gave Ter a wink as she spoke. The sound of water took her attion as she saw Kale's head come up for just a moment before going back under. Her face going white as she immedatelly bolted toward the pond.

Vorel had kept going, totally oblivious of the fact that his rider had fallen in the pool. In fact he thought that Kale would come pursuing so he kept on running, luckily though Ligeia wasn't all tha far behind. The owl watched as Kale went in and under and gave a squeak, no, no not the deep end! He wasn't that good at his swimmings yet! Despite that though the owl couldn't do nothing, he gave a loud shriek of, "DADDY!" Then dove in after Kale.
He went under like a rock, sinking down into the water before opening his eyes, looking around before he saw the giraffe. He reached his feet out to him, grasping hold of him with them and started to flap his wings and move his arms, pulling the two of them towards the surface...

Ligia's cry came just after Emer started running, she could see Orpues out of the cornor of her eye as they raced towareds the small lake. She heard his splash just before she hit the water. She could see Orphues grab Ligia and pull him up, which let her grab ahold of Kale.
Water swirled all around Kale as he struggled in the water. He couldn't tell wich way was up anymore. He felt something grab him, his panic over riding common sense he struggled to jerk away, he felt a sharp jerk and another something grabbing him around his middle and started to pull him up.
When he broke the surface he heard his Mother's voice, "Kale, stop, I have you." Gasping for air the boy relized he was safe and he stoped fighting gasping for breath. Emer pulled same with him to the shore, pushing him up onto the grass.

Orpheus climbed out of the lake like pool with Ligeia in one arm and then flopped down on the ground, "Ligeia? Are you ok?" He murmured, smoothing his son's hair back. The owl blinked a couple times, coughed up some water, then nodded his head, "I-I'm... yes. I think..." He murmured, then reached up to wrap his arms around Orpheus, clinging for a moment to his father. He was safe but that didn't mean the fact that he'd jumped in the water when he wasn't that good at swimming help to calm him, "Ahh... t-that was... s-scary." He whimpered.
Orpheus gave him a hug, "Its ok, your fine now." He murmured, part of him really wanted to be angry at Vorel but at the same time he knew both that the dragon was a baby and didn't know better and that it wasn't his fault that Kale had gone in or that Ligeia had been so foolish as to follow in attempts to save his friend.
"How about we go get some towels?" He suggested to Emer and Kale, looking up to see Ter standing there, coiled up and looking unsure of what was going on. He'd only heard his brother's cry and seen the adults rush off. Orpheus held an arm out and Ter slithered over into it, holding onto them. He had no idea what happened only that everyone looked upset and it seemed to transfer to him.

Emer pulled herself out of the water colapsing next to her son, laying on her back as she caught her breath, pulling Kale close. She didn't say anything, just listened to him breath and feeling his heart beat in his chest as he layed agaisnt her. She cupped his face so she could look at him and smiled. "You okay?"
Kale nodded, he still looked a little upset. He lifted his bag up water streaming out the bottom of it. "I think my computer is broken now."
Emer laughed, pushing his hair out of his eyes. "I think it will be okay, we can get you a new one." She sat up looking over at Orphues and smiled at the way he looked with his two boys next to him. "Towels sound good, how are Ligia and Ter?"

Orphues got up to his feet picking up one son in each arm, "I am sure I have an extra one at home that you can have, my fault that this happened in the first place Kale." He murmured then bowed his head, "I appoligize to both of you. This shouldn't have happened."
Ligeia blinked watching his father then cling more tightly to him as if wanting to sooth him before sliding down, "N-Need to... to find Vorel." He murmured, staggering a step before he went forward, calling for the dragon.
Ter watched Ligeia go before wrapping around his father with his coils, "Red?" He murmured.

Kale whished she could carry Kale, but the boy had gotton to big for her to carry. She warpped a comforting arm around his shoulder, placing the other hand on Orphues's arm, her dark eyes looking up at his warmly. "It's okay, no harm done. It won't be the last time they get into scrapes. Besides we've been threw worse."
Kale fell silanet as his Mom took his bag from him and pulling it over her shoulder. This was his fault, he just knew it. He was the one that fell into the water and made everyone panic.
"My place is closer. And shockers of all, I actully unpacked all my boxes for the first time ever. " Emer offred. She felt bad that everything had gone a little crazey and didn't want them all to become to upset.

Orpheus rolled his shoulder then nodded his head, clearly recalling half the scrapes they been into together and the injuries they'd resulted in. He gave a nod of his head, "Sure, sounds like a plan." He said reaching over ruffle Kale's hair, "Should take a took at his shoudlers when we get back to your place. Ligeia tried to catch him and drag him up with his feet which means he might have stuck him on accident with his talons. Can't let him know though or he will feel really guilty." His voice was low so that only Emer would catch it.
Ter flicked his tongue out at Kale, then clapped his hands as if to assure everyone that things were fine and that they shoudl go home and all watch GI Joe. Or at least that is what he thought and since they had no mind readers with them... He gave a hissing sound that could have been a snakey curse. He had to learn their language one of these days.
Ligeia returned shortly there after, Vorel following along behind him at a distance as if he were afraid that he were about to get into a lot of trouble. His tail was dragging, his wings were limp, and his head lowered. He looked much the picture of someone expecting a horrible scolding...
"Found him." Ligeia murmured, fluttering his wings waiting for the oncoming yelling as well... which didn't come as Orpheus motioned at them, "Come on. We are all going to Emer's place to dry off." He said.

Emer hadn't been joking, for the first time since Orpues first met her everything was unpacked and put where it went. It looked like a real home. They left puddles of water on the wooden floor. She went into another room, pulling out several towels and some clothes. She tossed them on the couch in a huge pile. "I actully found a box of your stuff had gotton mixed in with mine. So there are some of your old clothes in there to."
Kale sat down on the floor opening his soaking wet computer and frowned. It was completely runied, he had to scrub his eyes to keep big tears from forming. He sighed as he fliped over the lap top and started to take it apaert, maybe there was still something he could salvage out of it.....
Where the huge plasma tv was mounted on her wall there was rows and rows of animie, si-fi, fantsey movies, and serieses. And on a shelf near the tv was one of her prize collections. The entire set of orginal GI-Joe and Cobrea playsets and action figures. With the Cobra comander with his foot on a prone Duke.
Emer went into the kitchen, rumaging around her cabnits, "Make yourselfs at home, I'll get something started for dinner..."

Orpheus looked around the room for a moment that he stepped into, eyes following as the woman headed for the kitchen before he gave a long whistle, "The Dark truth comes out." He murmured to his sons, "Emer is a Gamer."
Ligeia tilted his head to the side, confused as to what that meant but if it were a dark truth did that mean that Emer was something dangerous and scary? He followed after her with his gaze before taking a step closer to Vorel who was still trailing the group quietly.
Ter gave a hissu then slithered out of his father's arm to coil up on the ground, looking about the room before his eyes fell upon something worth investigating... he looked back and forth before he started to slither fowards towards the figures, hands outstretched, "Hiiisssss...."
