Of Sandwiches

[Maki]

Maki's eyes followed Zephel to the kitchen then glanced around for a moment. She noticed a rather large creature peeking in through a window.

"A dragon...." Maki questioned in a plain tone then carefully stood and walked near it, looking at it. "I've never seen one up close." She muttered more to herself.

[Zephel]

Orphion's large head jerked to the back a bit as Maki stepped nearer to him. He hasn't been in contact with humans except his rider for a long time, so Maki naturally surprised him. He stared back at Maki, a slight growling noise escaped his throat.

Zephel stepped out of the kitchen and headed straight for his room, catching the two criminals responsible for his kitchen having a blow-out red-handed...since one of them had a sort of small trigger in its mouth, probably from the stove. "Shame on you two. Now what am I supposed to eat??" He held them in his arms, thinking to let them stay with Hikaru while he tries to fix this disaster.

He was just about to consult Orphion on the idea, and found Maki standing near the window, staring at his dragon. "Oh, yeah. Maki, this is Orphion, my blue dragon. Orphion, this is Maki, my classmate." After that brief introduction, he gazed at Orphion for a long while, and after a full minute, the dragon seemed to nod at him.

[Maki]

Maki seemed undisturbed by the slight growling noise the large dragon gave out. "Hello Orphion." Maki greeted in her plain tone with a slight forward tilt of her head.

[Zephel]

Orphion grunted at Maki, not wanting to be close to another human. His rider's brother is enough of a bother, and now this...this female? The dragon could only imagine what humans have done to his rider...all of them is a bothersome. All of them doesn't seem to benefit Zephel, only troubling him. Orphion then glared at this girl, growling louder, 'Get away....from Zephel...'

"Orphion..." Zeph sighed, "Really, she's not bothering me at all." Knowing full well what's his blue dragon is thinking without even using telepathy, Zeph turns to Maki. "Maki, I think we need to get lunch elsewhere. ...Of course there's the issue of money, but I'll try--"

Another deep growl from Orphion.

"Orphion. Stop that."

[Maki]

Maki watched the dragon, undisturbed by it's growling. She turned to Zephel after he spoke, in silent thought a moment. "It's okay, Zephel. You don't have to put any more burden on your money issues for me. I did say I don't usually eat much. That was fine enough, thank you." She said plainly, not wanting him to have to stress out too much.

[Zephel]

Zeph was left speechless at Maki's statement, blinking a few times at her. "Really?" He asked, almost seeming like he can't believe what Maki just said, when in truth he's just in surprise, and all he could reply is a rather awkward. "You're....welcome?"

The two small creatures in his arms made noises, pulling Zeph back into his stage of fury again, "YOU TWO are NOT going to have supper, since you just exploded it. ...Unless you can find where the tupperware is under all that mess." He let them both go, and the two quickly speds into the kitchen, digging and squirming inside tight spaces to find their supper tupperware.

Zeph then turned to Orphion, "And you. Stop accusing everyone I met is a trouble to me. As long as they're decent, they bring me no difficulties." The blue dragon didn't pay attention to Zeph's words though, as he just kept glaring and glaring to this girl beside his rider, "I don't trust her."

'Of course you don't, Orphion, you just met her.'

Orphion grunted, still glaring daggers at Maki, "Well, I don't like her."

Zeph rolled his eyes with a sigh, then turns to Maki, "Maki, what do you think of Orphion?"

[Maki]

Maki looked over at the dragon again, not seeming to notice the glaring. "Incredible creature." She said plainly. "I've never seen one before in person, so close." She uttered a bit quieter, still watching the dragon.

[Zephel]

'You see? She likes you.' Zeph pointed out to his blue dragon. Orphion finally ends his glare at Maki and shot Zeph a sharp gaze with its great big eyes, "Zephel, we are attached in heart and soul, as dragon and rider. You must share my hatred towards her."Zeph sweatdropped at that statement, 'Or you could share my respect towards her. She hasn't done anything wrong, Orphion.'

Orphion growled, now back at his glaring to Maki, almost seeming like he wants to chew her head off now, "But I don't feel anything special emitting from her to you. Zephel, you are not supposed to be close to her. She does not matter to you--"

"Maki, Orphion's in a sour mood now. And my kitchen just exploded, so I need to fix things up. I apologize for my lack of...politeness, but I think you might want to leave now." Zeph sort of lead her away from the window and lifting up some debris to find her bagpack.

[Maki]

Maki glanced back at the dragon a moment before looking at Zephel then down to her bag. She piced it up and turned to Zephel. "Thank you anyway. I'm sorry about what happened here..." She said then fished out a small potion bottle and handed it to him. "Should be able to help with cleaning.

[Zephel]

Zeph blinked at the potion bottle Maki handed and took it from her hand, "What's this?" He twisted it around to see if there's a label or any instructions manual, but found nothing of that particular. "Help with the cleaning?"

[Maki]

Maki watched Zephel as he examined the bottle. "It can repair certain things to an extent. It's the weakest form of repairing potion but it's the only one I've been able to make so far." Maki said in her plain tone, watching him. "So, it should be able to help a little bit anyway.... Just apply to something broken or burned and it should slowly repair itself. But only to an extent. This one is best on fire damage. But connecting pieces of walls back together might be a bit... Difficult. "

She glanced away for a moment and thought to herself how she still had a lot more studying to do to master potions, having reminded herself here that she should look up better repairing potions.

She looked back at him again. "If you need a better repairing potion tomorrow, come find me. I should be able to make one by then."

[Zephel]

"Oh." Zeph looked back at the bottle after Maki has done explaining. He turns his gaze back at Maki for a while after she said to make a better potion, and the silver-haired just shook his head, "No...Maki, that won't be necessary. This potion is more than enough, I don't want to burden you."

"Or she's burdening you."

'Shush, Orphion.'

He revealed a tiny smile at her. his eyes half-closed, probably tired of this whole accident, "Thank you, Maki."

[Maki]

"I'll be making it anyway." She said plainly, "I need to learn." She gave a small tilt of a nod. "Thank you, Zephel. For everything."

[Zephel]

Zeph snapped out of his dazed stance after a while and lead her through the debris, clearing their path, and made their way to the door. "I'm really sorry about all this. I'll try to make it up to you soon." He stated with a nod and opened the door for her, annoyed that Hikaru's bad luck had rubbed into him now. "I'll see you in class tomorrow, I guess."

[Maki]

'You don't have to make anything up to me.' She thought. "Goodbye Zephel. I hope the potion helps a bit." She said and, with a small nod, headed off down the hall.
