Asta huffed in annoyance. Damn country boy. Cant help climbing a tree for the life of him. She turned her gaze upward, scanning the trees to look for him.

His eyes narrowed. Yes I'm going to hide from you. He tediously found a way to get down from the high place and ease down the tree out of sight. Making it to the ground quickly and still out of sight. He jumped out from behind it, flailing his arm out a little, the other keeping balance. "RAHHH!" He called out, seeing her expantancy of his being in the trees and taking advantage of it.

"YOU LITTLE FU-" She span around and looked like she was damn near about to punch him in the face, her eyes wide, with a wild look about them. "Eugh. You. You SuCk!" She put her hands on her hips and glared at him, her eyes narrowing accusatorily. Meanwhile, Castor watched Ethan like he was very much contemplating eating him.

He grinned, flinching back at her reaction. He chuckled and stepped out fully from behind it. "I think I got you." He strolled off a little, his hands together, watching Castor. "Have you tried, thinking to him?" He asked in calmer tone, tilting his head a little.

"How the hell do I do that? How do you know its a him? The hell am I supposed to know about getting a dragon-?" She glanced back at Castor. "It isnt quite like getting a puppy from the pound."

She sighed, walking over to sit with her back to a tree, staring at her newlyfound... friend.

Incompetent. "Try to think. At him." He gave her a blank stare. "You know when you're a kid and you're trying to get someone to read your mind while you sit there squeezing the fresh hell out of your mind? Do that. At him." He gave her an a-matter-of-fact smile.

"...kids do that?- oh- uh- Alright. Okay. This feels stupid, just so you know." She glared at him and then stared at Castor. God, this is stupid. Okay. Hi. Dragon. Nice to meet you? The stopped after a moment and then glared back at Ethan. "There no way this works."

"You didn't?" He squinted at her in mild confusion. Watching her concentrate on her dragon. This is amusing. Zeus shook his head and glared at Ethan. "It'll be fine. Have a little faith, Asta."

"I feel like I look stupid." She sighed. "You're lucky I trust you. I wouldnt make myself look this stupid for anyone else-" She looked back at Castor and concentrated on him. So. You tell me, how stupid do I look right now, dragon?
