"Nah,your not that short...just a good bit shorter than me." he said,smiling with those sharp fangs. He actually had a good head start on him in height,mostly because he was half dragon.

"Sir, yes, sir!" Riley says to Jack, bouncing into a loose attention stance. Then he returns his attention to Shade. "Imma find a magic bean and then grow like the bean stalk in 'Jack and the bean stalk' And then I won't be short." He says, bouncing slightly, wondering what it would be like to be tall. "Wait, but I don't have a cow to exchange to a trader... Oh well, no magic beans for me." He says with a laugh, trying to figure out how to use the pick without impaling himself.

Zaire continues to stare up at Rhia, mostly because he's bored and unable to climb up.

Shade notices Riley trying to figure it out. He comes very close and gently places his hands to Riley's. "Here,hold it firmly like this. Part your feet out of the way and don't swing it to far behind your back or you'll stab your self.Instead lift it about a 45 degree angle and then bend and thrust down between where you feet are,not right in front of your feet." He may or may not have used these things before.

Riley's face heated up slightly when Shade out his hands on his own, heart speeding up. Riley gives the tool a swing, trying to do as Shade had instructed, but he misses and nearly get his foot. "Sorry!" Riley says, dropping the tool so he wouldn't accidentally hurt anyone else. He holds his hands up as he shuffles back.

(Both my characters are kinda just.. existing rn. So somebody plz reply)

Shade laughed a soft,rare sound. "Your okay.I'll help keep it on track till you get the hang of it." He said,putting his own pick leaning against his leg as he bent down and took hold of Riley's,he held it up to him by the handle pointing to him. "Just trust me." He seemed to feel that asking to be trusted would be a big task,he was a gosh darn killer for pete's sake.

(I guess I can just throw Trisha in. She's sorta just not there.xD)

Trisha peaks down at him with a cold,smokey eyed glare. "Get up idiot,can't stay there and stare at someone all day.Dork."

"There's a midget up there." he responds flatly, pointing at Rhia. "How she got up there, I don't know."

"Okay," Riley comes forward again to taking the handle of the pick, inching closer to Shade. "I'm sorry in advance if I completely botch it." He states, taking the handle in his hands again.
