He triumphantly broke Zeus' stick, puffing his chest, glaring at her. Zeus spat out his stick and bit on Ethan's, who didn't leg go. Tug of war over a stick. Zeus stood up on his back legs and leg Ethan hang onto the stick, off the ground, a glint as he slowly tilted his head and snapped the stick. Ethan landed on his ass again, the wind knocked out of him, Zeus laid down on him. "Nooo buddy--" His complaints- or- pleadings where muffled.

She giggled and walked over. "Could you let him up Zeus? I really hate to disrupt your fun, but he's more use to me when he can breathe." She scratched Zeus's cheek scales gently, running her other hand over the scales on his neck.

Zeus sat up, he was unhappy at first but pets were nice. Ethan gasped like he'd been under water, fake but it was funny to him at least. Zeus had been careful of him. Ethan stayed on the ground though.

She bent down and grabbed his hand, pulling him to his feet. "Nice little show you put on." She grinned, holding onto his hand just a few moments more than was strictly nescessary, braking eye contact a little too kate as well. She cleared her throat. "So, where are we off to?"

He bonelessly let her pull him for his own amusement but helped her help him stand after a second. He smiled a little at the realization on her face. "I don't know, probably back to the school? Should get you in an actual cabin since you have a dragon."

"What, I cant just cabin-hop with you for the rest of my life?" She flicked his arm gently, grinning. "Then again, you're probably a mess. Maybe my own cabin WOULD be good."

"No unfortunately." He narrowed his eyes, then rolled them. "I am not," He protested vaguely. "I'm far cleanlier than some." He scoffed, dusting himself off. Murmuring something about 'my poor ass' as he walked over to Zeus,

"Mm. Somehow I doubt that." She opened her mouth to say something about his second comment, but seemed to decide that was a line she wasnt ready to cross before a long journey on the same dragon. She stretched. "Do you wanna set out now or wait a while?"

He glared at her, probably offended. His expression softened as he scratched Zeus cuz he liked this. "We can go whenever. You should ride your dragon." He shrugged.

"Hhhheeeeeellllll naw. Im too pretty to die right now, and sitting on a big, flying lizard all by myself sounds like a surefire way to prevent myself from living." She stroked Castors head. "No offense, buddy."
