Revon instinctively flinched as the rather pissy new partner of his decided to try and flatten his foot again. Thank god for some reaction skills, he'd managed to avoid it. "Flower... can't you be nicer?" A bit of a plea as the less than masculine bird let his wings droop a bit as he watched the muzzled dragon beside him. A gruff hiss was his only answer as the thing continued to stalk along beside him.
Honestly, he wasn't quite sure why Flower actually followed him, perhaps it was just that he was supposed to be his partner. Or that the dragon wanted to bite him the moment he could. Both seemed fairly plausible with the way the newly hatched black behaved.
A sigh as he paused to push open the door to the smoothie shop he usually chose when he was left to his own devices. Haruki was off running errands in town so he was on his own with Flower until later. That and a bit of spending money for the day. This wasn't the first day of course, so as usual he went about his routine. First a smoothie, strawberry today, then a walk through the park. A stop by the arcade later to show just how much he'd been practicing at DDR, and then whatever he felt like until it was time to meet Haru again. Yep, same as usual.
Allowing the black to squeeze in through the door behind him, Revon made his way to the count and easily slid onto a stool, smiling at the familiar face as he did. "Strawberry today!" He called in singsong voice as he reached into his pocket to grab some money. And so the routine began again.

Fleur frowned up at the smoothie shop's sign, debating whether or not he wanted to go in. He was not in a particularly cheerful mood and had not been for the last week, nightmares plaguing him every time he closed his eyes though he had no idea why they were so prominent lately when they had not bothered him for a while now. Maybe he just needed some comfort food since shopping had not alleviated the stress as it usually did.
Aube en Argent, however, was secretly glad shopping was not working even though she was immensely concerned about her boy's troubled mind. She was so sick of being dragged to and from different shopping centers and malls and even now had a bag filled with knitting supplies stuck in her mouth.
"Thirsty, Dawnie?" Fleur asked his dragon who nodded if only because going inside would mean she would not have to carry his shopping bag for a while. Letting her make up his mind for him, Fleur opened the door to the smoothie shop so she could go ahead of him, following close behind her.

The raven didn't have to wait long for the smoothie to arrive. If there was one really good thing about the shop it was that they were speedy. Partially due to a smaller atmosphere so it wasn't always busy.
As soon as he was given the smoothie he turned to glance at the dragon beside him. Looking as if the world had wronged him horribly as usual. "You know, Ha wouldn't insist on the muzzle if you stopped biting." He didn't particularly like the rule, since if did upset Flower, but it was as good a solution as he could think of to stop the dragon from trying to rip off someones arm. What could he do?
Flower peered up a moment at the bird, giving it a low hiss as a reply before shifting to purposefully stare anywhere, but at him. This directed his gaze briefly to the door where it seemed another dragon was making it's way in. A silver to be exactly. The dragon tilted it's head momentarily before letting out a second grumble. Not worth his time obviously, serving those beings as such. What a joke, all for what? A snack?
Revon could only sigh at the response and slump down in his chair a bit. So Flower didn't want to compromise at all then? He took a sip of the smoothie he'd been handed while trying to figure out a new way to try and at least get the dragon to get along with him, following the trail of the black's vision as he grumbled again. What was it this time? Though he quickly realized the thing causing the ruckus was something he recognized. Sort of.
He hadn't seen the dragon before, but that was certainly Fleur, right? That boy he'd met in the park. "Fleur?" It was a bit louder to test if he responded, nothing that should get too much attention, but it should have been heard.

Fleur's ears perked up when he heard his name, and he waved to the raven already sitting, wracking his memory for his name. He remembered meeting a raven and being fascinated with his wings when he was very little, but what was his name? "Hi!" he called in response, still trying to remember. Since the raven remembered his name, it would be very rude to not return it. He vaguely remembered it sounded a lot like "raven". "Revon?" he tried, hoping he got it right.
Now that they were inside, Argent spat out the shopping bag and stuck her tongue out to rest it, shaking herself and making the silver and emerald pendant around her neck jingle before she blinked when she noticed the exchange between her boy and the other one sitting already. She had never met this one before, but Fleur seemed to know him, so she could only assume they had met before she hatched. She frowned when she noticed the dragon next to the new boy though.
Why a black? She could only hope this one had better manners than Keir, but given the fact that it was wearing a muzzle, her hopes were not particularly high.

The raven beamed at the reply. He'd taken to making sure he memorized the name of everyone he met, mainly due to the fact Haruki would dissaprove of anything less. And god knew he didn't want to upset Haru. "How have you been?" It was asked after Fleur said his name, which did confirm the guess to have been correct. Certainly he would have been confused if it had been wrong. "And I've never seen you in here before." This was certainly different from his regular schedule.
Flower hissed in annoyance at the silver. Shifting his wings as he shoved himself up from where he'd been laying. Carrying around bags like some sort of animal. What a disgrace. He huffed before glancing up at the bird beside him, grumbling something that came out too garbled to understand due to his muzzle. It was in draconic anyway, only Argent might have had a chance at guessing what he said. As if Flower would disgrace himself with speaking the tongue of those useless beings.
Still, there was work to be done. Mainly, letting the little silver know it wasn't in charge here. Oh no, if it wanted to serve humans it could certainly serve him as well.
Oh god... not again. Revon might not have been with the dragon for very long, but he knew what was going on. He knew that posture, something between haughty and ready to try and fight. "F-flower... don't." Not that the dragon ever listened. "That's not helping."

Fleur relaxed in relief when he realized he remembered the name right. "I've been okay," he lied. One of the first things he learned under Bah was to never push one's problems onto someone else - that was reserved for family and best friends only. "I've never been here before," the skunk continued as he stepped closer so as not to have to raise his voice over the space between them, grabbing his shopping bag as well. He knew when his dragon had had enough. "I was just in the neighborhood shopping. How have you been?" The black dragon's growling tore Fleur's attention down to it, and he had to ask, "Why is it muzzled?"
Argent frowned and sighed at the black dragon's behavior. Uncivilized just like the last one. She found herself wondering if all black dragons were so uncivilized. She was determined, however, to not let this one get to her as she had Keir, ignoring him as she followed her skunk.

That was good. Not everyone had quite as much stress to deal with. He did recognize things as stress lately. When it involved his brother there seemed to be more than a little of the stuff too. "I've been well." Lying as well. He wasn't fond of fibbing, but he'd learned a similar lesson to the skunk. Shoving your business upon everyone wasn't proper behavior and should be avoided. "You know, this is actually a nice shop. I usually come here once ore twice a week." It depended on if Haru wanted him to watch Phace or not durring the outings. If Phace was to be watched he was usually left at the house. If not, then he had a day out.
"Eh... well..." The boy paused at the last question, trying to decide how best to word it. "He doesn't really like people very much. And sometimes bites." Not sometimes, quite often. "So we're trying to explain that biting isn't good and doesn't solve things..." Trying was the key word.
Flower glared at being ignored before returning to his previous area and huffing as he was spoken about. It solved lots of problems. For one it shut the kid up when he started talking about that blasted game.

"Ohh," Fleur muttered at the explanation. "Argent's just kind of prissy." He earned a glare at that remark but did not care - it was the truth. "I think she's only bitten me once." And frankly, he was glad she had. That had been during a particularly bad nightmare, and it was the only way she could wake him. Fleur looked up at the menu to try to find something else to talk about. "What do you recommend here?"
Argent could not help but grin to herself, glad she had deflated the upstart at least somewhat. She looked up to her boy though when he asked about the smoothies, wondering what he was going to get her.

Prissy sounded a lot nicer than hissy. "Flower... bites a lot. He doesn't like people." He wished he had a nicer dragon, but there wasn't much to do about it but try to work with Flower. Trading or replacing the black dragon wasn't the solution. He just needed to work harder to be friends. That was the only way to go.
Flower hissed slightly, more as an agreement to Revon's speech than anything. Though there was also a grumble added due to the fact Argent WAS an utter pushover. What a sap that dragon was. Not that he cared, it wasn't his problem. Especially if she intended to ignore him. And he'd already whipped his child into proper order. The boy jumped when he snapped and avoided getting in his way. It was obvious that he was in charge.
Revon thought for a moment at the question. "Anything you like?" Honestly. he hadn't had a bad one yet. So he didn't see how anything else would be different. The best bet would be to get a flavour he enjoyed. "They're all good I think."

"Aw, that's sad," Fleur could not help but say in response to Revon's description of his dragon. He and Argent were like an old married couple despite being together for so short a time, and he would not have it any other way, and it saddened him that someone so nice as Revon had such a mean companion. "Maybe he just needs some persuasion to come out of his shell?" The skunk was certainly willing to help the raven with that.
Argent rolled her eyes at Flower's hissing. "You have the attitude of a pitbull and probably the brain to match," she scoffed, both exasperated by his behavior and amused at the fact that he could not retaliate with the muzzle.

He frowned, starring down at his smoothie for a moment. It wasn't exactly a happy situation, but... he'd find a way to improve it. At least, that was what he hoped to have happen. Though the next bit surprised him, causing confusion to spread along his face. What exactly did he mean? "Flower... is very confident." Shells generally meant that people were shy, or so was his understanidng. What shell could Flower be in? And alos, what kind of pursuasion? He'd found talking didn't work well. He'd tried many times before and had little to show for it.
Confidant wasn't the word. Egotistic was more fitting for the black. The silver's speech earned her half a look before the dragon drew himself up to his full height, starring at her coldly. He hissed softly, unable to speak with the muzzle keeping his jaw closed, but how he wanted to smack her down for it. Oh he could though, certainly. He mouth might have been held, but he still had claws. He cocked his head slightly as if to ask if she really wanted to go there, certainly he wasn't afraid of some prissy little pet.

"Like positive reinforcement," Fleur suggested. "Rewarding him for good behavior." He knew it worked with dogs, but he was not sure how well it would work for a dragon. He knew they were much smarter than dogs, but it was worth a shot, right?
While Argent certainly would not have minded egging on the obstinate creature, she did not want to cause trouble for her boy, and Fleur seemed to like the raven. Still, maybe if they could get away for a bit...while not feisty or violent normally, she would love to teach the upstart a lesson in manners.
