(Sorry! My cat was being a spaz!)

Franz smiles at Takeo, taking note to remember his name. After all, he might be her partner!

Franz: "Hello, Takeo! I'm Franz! Nice to meet you."

She waves and smiles wide, and points to his tail.

Franz: "I don't ever think I've seen someone like you before!"

Takeo - "Yeah, lion hybrids are rare" He pointed to Franz,'Lamb?"

Franz: "Yep! That's me!" She giggles and points to the dragon behind her. "And he's Merlin, my pet dragon and protector!" The dragon dips his head to Takeo.

"It's nice to say the least, we lived in a cabin in the middle of the woods. Now I know that's an American horror movie but nothing like that ever happened at home." Alastair laughed. Ren, Alastair's pet hawk, popped his head out of the man's hood and looked at River giving a shrill shriek as most Hawks did. "Oh and this is Ren. He's a bit shy."

"How do you write them though? Everytime I try to write the ink runs...mainly because I cry all over the paper." Martin admitted. Molly, Martin's pet baby doll sheep, baaed as she escaped from her pet carrier. She hopped forward and jumped into Martin's lap. "Molly!"

Jenny looks over to the boy once more, curious about him.

Jenny: "What' your name? I'm Jenny Gold, but you can call me Jen!" A genuine smile appears on her face, and she gives him her hand to shake. "Sorry if this isn't the right way to greet you, but I'm not from around here...oh, and I can teach you how to write."

Martin petted Molly's head. "Oh but I can write it's just that I cry everything I write, and the ink gets all runny." Martin shook her hand. "My name is Martin Williams, and this is Molly my sheep."

Takeo - Takeo nodded and patted her dragon on the head. "I will be right back." He got up and went to the window. Takeo nodded as he saw they were nearing Zeta. He walked back to Franz,"We are about 5 minutes away.

(Sorry if the pings don't work!)

Jenny: "It's nice to meet you. Your sheep might have a friend on this ship..." Smiling, she points to Franz on the other side of the boat.

Franz: "Thanks, Takeo! I'm so excited to go to Zeta!" Trying not to the academy in the bounce around in excitement, she looks longingly at the academy in the distance, when all of a sudden Banisher falls from her back. "Oh, no!"

"Really? Are there other sheep on the boat?" Martin asked getting a bit excited. "Hear that Molly? You're going to have friends!"
