It wasn't like he was allowed to go out on his own, but it wasn't like Winter specifically said that he couldn't go to the mall. Edan was at work and it wasn't like his brother wouldn't mind Cody having borrowed a bit of the money that he hid in his sock drawer. Too predictable the both of them. Besides- neither would be back from work for a few hours so that left Cody alone with nothing to do but watch old westerns that he'd eventually had memorized.
Tex hadn't been out in public yet either. There was some faint hope that Cody might bump into either Keanu or Paxton at the mall. It was a slim chance but they'd talked about going. He and Paxton knew it was a great spot to hook up with girls. They often traveled in hordes to go shopping and spent hours there. At the end of the day they were so tired and spaced from shopping that they'd not have the wit to turn down guys like himself and Paxton...
Not so much Paxton. Guy looked like he had a fight with a paintball machene and lost.
The bull snorted in amusement, stretching his arms up over his head as he clopped through the main doors of the mall, Tex close at his heels. The little copper was almost like a puppy going on its first walk. Now and then it would jump on someone in welcome- half the time greeted in a scream or a startled jump back.
"Ya gotta behave here!" Cody glanced down to the little dragon. Small enough still to fit into the mall but too young to leave alone...he was breaking so many rules. "If I get my hide tanned it'll be yer a** that'll pay."

Fleur skipped merrily through the glass doorways of the mall, squeaking with delight. It was the first time he had been able to go since the "incident" with a certain shark boy because Stevie did not want him to go out by himself to such a crowded place, but today, he had finally managed to get permission, and he was going to take advantage of it! Have credit card, will shop, and all that.
He was still wearing his incredibly feminine outfit he bought the day he met Chath. It was comfortable, pretty, and very cool on hot days like today where he especially hated having black fur. Stevie and Chrysler both had finally enlightened him to the fact that he looked like a girl wearing it, but frankly, Fleur did not care. It was pretty, and he liked it, and as far as he was concerned, that was all that mattered.
Aube en Argent was trying to keep up with her skipping skunk, stumbling over her own feet on the slick tile of the mall's floor. She simply had to learn English, and soon, simply so she could yell at him to slow down and wait for her.

Taren did not normally go out on his own, even through he was forever growing he was still quite the shy one, nervous of new people and crowded places but on days like today he didn't have much choice. His mother was working so he had been sent out with Flint who had of course dumped him at the first chance he had gotten, but this was an old and well rehearsed routine and Taren just had to wait till his mother found out then she'd give the rat anthro a good tongue lashing and come pick him up for now.
Luckily he had some money and was able to buy himself and ice cream and sit one one of the benches by the small collection of fake plants. Holding the sweet treat in his claws delicately as he wrapped his tongue round the strawberry flavored (currently melting)icecream. It was such a hot day, having dark fur covering most of his body was not a good thing luckily he was dressed in flip flop sandles, a long sleeveless tank top that was far to lose on him and pale green shorts. All the softest airest cotton of course.
Taren's eyes flickered out to the people passing by every now and then a little nervous but the iceceam made him feel better and slightly more confident while the knowlage that his mother would be here soon kept him from panicking, plus the people didn't seem to bothered with him.

Vorel touched down in their normal landing pad that was the courtyard of the mall and his partner hopped down off of his back, stretching out before looking back at the dragon, "Thank you for the ride." He said, brushing himself off, shifting back and forth then gave a grumbling sound.
"How do people wear these constantly? I don't get it." He asked of his dragon. Pants were just... uncomfortable but he'd decided he would attempt to wear them when he went out into public places to make sure that nobody else would get confused as much as Chath had. He didn't want to risk that again... he'd wear the stuff he liked to wear when he was at home or around D-corp.
Not that what he was wearing could be consider wholely boyish. Aside from the pants which he figured had to be a sign of being a guy he was wearing a tanktop that showed off his middrift that had a star with a smiley face on it. His hair was tied back with a yellow ribbon the same color as the happy star. It was about as close as he was going to get until he got more clothing like the stuff Zyanya helped him to pick out. Half why he was here actually the other half was just him wanting to get out and about.
The owl boy stretched out then started towards the door that would allow him access into the mall leaving behind Vorel who was to big to get around inside easily to lounge next to the fountain as he loved to do. He would make friends with the little kids that always seemed to swarm him while they were here and that would leave him to having fun while his partner was away.

Cody glanced around shortly, scratching a bit under the strap of his eyepatch. It was still something quite new to him. Irratable at the very least. Seemed to be a good crowd there, no sign of spots or pink fluffs, but that was just a minor set-back. There had to be some nice ladies around- and if not... he could get something to attract them. He heard the ladies like a guy that smelled good, maybe a new vest or something.
Tex rumbled beside him, turning his head around to look out the glass doors again. "Well well...." Cody chuckled a bit, slowly sliding himself behind one of the doors. Tex blinked in confusion, glancing between the older dragon then over to Cody.
"Jus' watch an' learn Tex..." His tail snapped from side to side. It was tradition- don't mess with tradition.

Fleur admired himself in the mirror-like glass of the doors in a moment of distraction, using his hands to fluff the fur of his cheeks before reaching up to adjust his butterfly hair clip and sniff at his wrist to make sure his apple perfume was still noticable. He recently discovered he very much liked to primp in front of a mirror and liked even more to play dress-up in front of one which brought to mind another thing he could look for here - costumes! Maybe, he should have made a list of what all he wanted to buy while he was here...new perfume, new jewelry for Argent, costumes...he knew there was something else, but he supposed he would remember it as he browsed.
Finally tearing his gaze from the glass, Fleur dusted off his skirt sarong and turned to look up at the many floors of the mall, his tail waving up and down with anticipation. It was so big - maybe he would bump into some of his friends here. He would love to meet Valens again. "Where should we go first, Dawnie?" he asked.
"Home" is what Argent wanted to say, but lack of knowledge of English prevented her from doing so, so she instead just shrugged as best she could before she was quickly placated with a vigorous scratch against her mohawk-like fin, the feeling making her melt for a moment as it always did. She was snapped from her bliss when one of the glass doors bumped her tail, and she bounced out of the way with a squeak, not wanting to be run over.
"Mm?" Fleur glanced over his shoulder out of curiosity to see who else was entering the mall.

Taren was succeeding in getting the icecream all over his fur and whiskers, ever a spot on his pink nose which he licked off happily, squirming in delight at the slight sugar rush that it brought to his system, crunching the last of the cone between sharp little canine he started to lick the long claws free of any trickle that had melted and manged to escape to his hands. He loved anything sweet, and not just candy and junkfod, but sweet fruit as well, which is why hs nose twitched and his head lifted at the smell of sweet apple, mixed with something else he didn't really recognize.
Hmm he could do with an apple now, the little mole boy being a bit of a glutton if truth be told he pushed himself up from the bench and padded round the side of the pillar, following nose and eyes in search of apples but they lead him to a girl...no a boy wearing girls clothing. How very odd. He blinked...but ohhhh he had such a fluffy tail, he pet t was soft and...he wanted to touch it but still to nervous to approach he hung back. The boy also had a dragon following him, so he was from D-corp? Taren was meant to have one soon to but it was late in hatching.
He followed the boy with his eyes still standing against the pillar and was also drawn to look over at the doors where another D-corper was entering, made obvious by the fact that he had just landed on a dragon. He looked soft to, Those feathers. He sighed dreamily, he'd love to pet them.

Ligeia almost, almost caught it this time. He heard the sound of hooves coming towards him and he felt a moment of de ja vu. He was able to even get himself turned... and then he was getting flattened by a very exuberant greeting that he only got from one of his friends, "Cody!" He said, happy despite getting a bit squished. He was used to such a greeting so he wasn't at all bothered by it.
He then gave him a happy and excited hug despite the fact that he was sure he'd get a punch in the arm for it. It was a worthwhile trade if you asked the owl since it had been a while since he had see his bull friend.

"Aww damnit." Cody groaned at the hug, delivering the already well-expected club to the boy's arm as he stepped back and got himself to his hooves again. "Ya gotta stop doin' that. Men don't hug."
Dispite the scolding, Cody was grinning ear to ear and snapping his tail from one side to the other. He was a bit taller than he'd been last time Geia had seen him at the park, a bit more toned and...well his belly was a bit lacking from the months he'd been stuck in the hospital bed.
Tex watched curiously from behind his rider. Watch and learn... and learn... The dragon smirked a bit and hunched back, swishing his long tail behind him. Soon as Legeia started to get himself up he'd face a blur of copper stomping towards him with a loud, enthusiastic coo.
"TANATION TEX!" Cody reached out unsucessfully to catch the dragon- well that's not what he meant!

Fleur flipped his ears curiously at what was going on just outside the doors, blinking his blue eyes in confusion. He vaguely recognized the one with the wings but could not place a name to the face. It had been a very long time since he had seen him - or was it a her? Not that he could say anything since he could easily pass for a girl right now as well. He debated drawing attention to himself by calling a greeting before his attention was completely thrown off-kilter when he noticed the bull boy's tail snapping back and forth. The skunk was immediately hypnotized and beaming in wonderment at such a strange tail. It almost looked like Valens' but not quite.
Argent, meanwhile, scuttled behind her boy to make sure she was not tackled in the same way, staring at the people outside with trepidation.

Taren watched the whole things enfold with wide eyes magnified with those bottle nose glasses sniffing still, his pink nose twitching at the smell of apples which emminated from the black and white...boy...girl? He couldn't really tell nor could he with the white feathered teen but it didn't matter a jot because that tail and those feathers looked so dreamily soft, plus they all had dragons which was instantly cool.
He edged out nervously and leaned forward to get a better look. Giggling slightly as the poor bird boy was tackled by the dragon, even as a baby he was alittle big for that sort of greeting. The mole boy jolted the giggling to a stop clapping claws over his mouth as he realized how mean laughing at someone eles like that was. Glaancing around he quickly half walked half jogged over to the doorway of one of the nearby shops so he could watch them more clearly, they all looked intresting but that bull boy scared him and was so awfully loud, it made his small ears press down hard against his head.

Ligeia did well, didn't even wince this time from the whap to the arm. He pushed up to his feet, "I know they aren't but I couldn't resist anyways." He said in reference to the hug. He just... he was a very huggy person adding to that his excitement it just wasn't all going to end with him being able to resist. The owl was just starting to brush himself off when suddenly he was on the ground again getting tackled by a dragon this time, he was a little dazed as the dragon was a bit heavier then Cody, "Ahh... Yours I'm guessing?" He asked of Cody when his wits returned to him.
From where he was laying when he looked back he saw someone familiar though upside down from this angle, "Fleur!" He called, giving a wave not quite ready to rise even if he could with a dragon on top of him. He then heard a laugh and looked over to where Taren was, giving the new boy a little wave.

"Dang nabbit, Tex!" cody stomped over and grabbed at the horns of the little dragon, yanking him up off of the poor owl boy. The dragon lifted himself up off Legeia with a friendly coo, glad to comply with Cody for the moment, "Yeah 'e's mine. A bit of a late bloomer. Sorry 'bout that. Hadn't had time tah train 'em up right jus' yet. Didn't see 'em goin' at'cha till it was too late." He smiled sheepishly, making a mental note to keep Tex on his left from now on.
An ear rotated sharply behind him as Legia greeted someone else. Cody turned perhaps a bit too sharply, almost suspiciously. He often looked more critical than he meant. A single chocolate eye instantly pinged onto the skunk kid...then slowly moved to the mole kid. "...well looks like we got ourselves a couple o' peekers... girlfriend?" He glanced back to Geia and gerked a thumb towards Fleur.

Fleur beamed, pleased he did not have to butt in to get their attention. "Hi," he spoke as he dared to step a little closer, wracking his brain for the owl's name. He remembered he was the babysitter a long time ago when Stevie left him there...the one with the huge, scary ice dragon. But what was his naaaame?
Regardless, he gave Cody a friendly smile even if he could barely understand his accent, introducing himself, "I'm Fleur." He actually hoped the owl would not blow his "cover". In a moment of mischief, he rather wanted to play being a girl for a while and see just how convincing he could be just for the heck of things.
Fleur blinked and looked over his shoulder when he saw the owl waving elsewhere and waved as well to the little one trying to hide. He had no idea what he was or how long he had been there, but he needed to at least greet him.
Argent slowly snaked her long neck back around from behind Fleur so she could peer curiously at the copper dragon, marveling at his horns. She had never seen a copper before, so maybe this trip to the mall would not be quite as boring for her as she originally thought.
