"Salty porridge," Almon said with a laugh. "More like 99% salt and 0.00001% porridge"

He laughed at that. "Very true, but you get used to it after a while. Soon, it'll seem like heavenly mac and cheese."

"You seriously didnt hear about how Nicote managed to blow up his hiuse?" Lio asked. "It was everywhere. I got here recently."

Nicote looked like he was trying to say something but his Brian was still comprehending who was standing in front of him. For someone so smart he ready could be dim. Like his twin.

"Tastes like my brothers attempt to make soup." Cole golunteered

Almon laughed, "I can see what Cole's saying, but heavenly Mac and cheese seems far off."

Astra nodded. "I did hear about that, but anything after that, no one would tell me."

"Well, just wait a couple of days. If you last that long."

"Course they wouldnt. I mean, you and Nic sort of had a "thing"...they weren't really telling me either. Definitely kept Lishian in the dark about it all. Poor guy, wonder where he ended up since he was living with antics family and all."

Nicote finally got control of himself to a point. Except he kept mumbling something in French.

"Thimble?" He seemed honestly confused now,his angry shield down to show a bit of himself.Just a bit.He,inside,wasn't full of anger and hate.He was like a marshmellow.Sweet and squishy!

Riley laughs, "Yes, a thimble. In the world of Peter Pan its... Here I'll show you." He gives Shade a quick peck on the cheek, blushing as he did so. Instinctively, right after he had kissed Shade, he backs up, afraid he had gone to far.

Shade seemed shocked,but didn't lash out.He stared at Riley with wide ruby eyes and touched where the boy had given him the small kiss and for some reason or another his face flushed.His blush was rather nice along his cheeks despite the black freckle scales he had. "Thimble." He said softly,seeming not to understand fully but seemed to like it still. "Dragons don't do that....they should."
