Air looked at him and growled when he said about letting it all hang out. Then, the subject changed. To his thoughts. Air smirked. God. We just met less than an hour ago and he's already head over heels, she thought to herself, snickering.

"Branson's about a thirty-minute flight from here," Air said, looking at Dinka. "By the way, my name is Air."

Dinka grinned and shrugged at Air's growl. He laughed and nudged her shoulder playfully. His gold armoured shoulder met her more petite, silver one. He flapped his wings two more times.

"Ah- thirty minutes I can handle." He said with a smirk. He wasn't lieing, boasting maybe. "How rude of me- I'm Dinka. Not Dink-wit like some other dragons used to call me." He said with a grin. "Air.. cute."

Dinka's comment about Air's name kept her silent the rest of the way to Branson.

Soon, Air angled her wings toward the ground and silently flew towards the earth. It was just outside Branson, but nobody could see them. She landed beside a cottage and her friend, Merideth came running outside. Even though Merideth was 21, her and Air were good friends.

"I knew you'd come, Air," Merideth said. "Here's some clothes," she said, placing a bin of clothes in the middle of the pasture. Merideth hurried back inside and shut the door. Merideth was a dragon shifter herself.

"There should be clothes in there for the both of us," Air said to Dinka. "If you look at me while I'm changing, I'll personally kick your butt."

As Dinka landed next to Air, he smiled as the other girl came out to greet them. Or, at least greet Air. Dinka fell quiet as he wasn't acknowledged. Well hello to you too. He thought, but caught his mental tongue, thinking himself as rude.

Dinka remained quiet as Air and Merideth conversed. As Merideth gave Air the bin of clothes, he wondered if his clothes were in the bin as well. His question was answered soon after he asked it- or at least in his mind.

Dinka grinned widely, a bit taken back by her comment, but amused none the less. "Ah- I would say the same, but who doesn't want a glance at this?" He said, gesturing to his body with his head. He laughed jokingly, and grabbed a pair of underwear with his mouth. He then started to morph back into a human, but the underwear somehow slipped themselves on quickly. He covered his eyes but purposely left a slit open between his fingers. "Your turn, love." He said with a smirk.

Air shook her head and sighed. She grabbed some clothes and turned her back on Dinka. I gave him a fair warning. I'll know if he looked. If he sees me, he'll be thinking about it all day, she thought to herself. She began to morph back. Her scales turned into human skin, her horns retreating into her skull. Hair sprouted from her head, dangling to her mid back.

Soon, she was completely human. She slipped on her clothes, la
yer by la
yer and turned around to face Dinka. "Gonna finish getting dressed?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

Dinka fought the incredible erge to glance at Air while she was changing, but decided against it, knowing that it wasn't very gentlemen like, even if it was what he wanted. After she was done, he grinned at her remark. "Sure, sure." He said simply, grabbing a shirt and a pair of skinny jeans.

After slipping them on, he walked over to Air and put his arm around her shoulder. "So this Merideth person.. is she ever going to acknowledge me?" he asked.

Air shrugged him off. He wasn't going to let him get her that easily. She was well guarded. "Merideth has a whole daycare for dragon shifter babies in there," she said. "It's a wonder the place hasn't burnt down yet," Air said, snickering.

"Anyways, we should get going. Branson is about a mile from here. It'll take us a good thirty minutes of walking. Fifteen if we speedwalk," Air said. She turned to Dinka and looked him over. He was pretty cute, but she'd never admit it. Just like she wouldn't tell him that she could read minds. She loved that power.

((bump))

Dinka snickered. "Dragon shifter babies? Interesting.. sounds like she's got her hands full." He said. He was a bit taken back that she shrugged him off, but ignored it. He looked onward to the open space around them. "What's the rush? Is it that bad being around me?" He asked with a snicker.

He ran a finger through his blood red hair, fixing his golden eyes on Air. He smiled, noting how cute she looked in the casual wear.

Air started flailing when he levitated her. "Dinka, don't do this. Please put me down," she said, her voice scared. She didn't mind flying, but being suspended in mid-air against her will... She didn't like that very much.

"I prefer not to let people know what my power is. It's no fun if they know," she said, smirking. She had finally stopped flailing. "Well, there's nothing they can do about it if they do know. But... since I'm going to be stuck with you for a while, I might as well tell you. But you've got to put this, 'pretty girl,' down," she said, crossing her arms.

Dinka's golden eyes widened as he learned the truth. "I knew something was fishy here," He stated, "And really, what's to hide?" He asked, remembering all the things he thought about. "It was all the truth, anyways." He said, catching the kiss in midair and stamping his cheek.

He followed Air with his hands in his pockets, stopping when she stopped, looking at things when she looked at things. He wanted to mess with someone, so he provided a mental image of himself making out with Air just to bother her. He smirked.
