"Yeah. I can understand that. I may reread a couple of Pern books in case I manage to get a fire lizard. Or two." Belle grinned.

"I'm not held responsible if said fire lizards end up getting themselves stepped on by my dragons," Andy replied.

"They're intelligent," Belle said, rolling her eyes. "Besides, they'd pop between first. Ooooo now that's something I'd like to do."

Andy just snickered and rolled her eyes, then worked on pushing Kaelas off of her lap.

"Up, you," she said to him. "I mean it. I need to check on the dragons. You can pin me down again afterwards." Kaelas resisted for another moment before letting her up. Andy stretched with a grin. "Much better."

Belle snorted and shook her head and shifted Dejaal so she'd be more comfortable. He let out a chuff and let her move him.

Andy moved off to the edge of the camp, and released both of her dragons. Both of the dragons stretched and shook out their wings gratefully before settling down again. Satisfied that they were both alright, Andy began to meander her way back to her seat, taking her sweet time getting there.

Belle had managed to shoo Dejaal off so she could make food. She was kind of hungry and if Daemon tried to make food for her one more time she was going to kick his ass.

Andy managed to find another seat next to Sesshoumaru before Kaelas could try to pin her down again, and she was glad she did. As soon as she was sitting next to him, Sesshoumaru wrapped an arm around her waist and sent the other males a look that distinctly said he could take care of her just as easily as they could.

Belle snorted at that and shook her head, going back to making dinner. None of the males quite dared to approach her when she had a large, sharp knife.

Andy didn't blame them for not wanting to go near Belle when she had the knife. At the moment, though, she was still feeling a bit smug for having briefly out-maneuvered her Blood males. And she was rather enjoying sitting with Sesshoumaru, as well.

"Alright, dinner's ready," Belle said a little while later, getting out plates and handing them around. She got her own food and went to go sit away from the blast zone while most everyone else descended on the food. At least she knew it was coming now and could get out of the way.

Andy was about to get up to get her own plate, but she wasn't quick enough. She'd just barely slipped from Sesshoumaru's grasp when Lucivar was handing her a plate. She just sighed and took it. It wasn't worth fighting with them anymore over it.

Eclipse claimed the spot next to Belle before any of the others could grab it, glaring at them. They backed off, and he smirked in satisfaction.

Andy ate her dinner peacefully, before an idea occurred to her. Leaning up, she whispered in Sesshoumaru's ear, and then shooed him off to go gather everyone up. During that brief moment of solitude, she went over to Belle.

"What say you to distracting the men with strip poker tonight?" she murmured in her friend's ear.

Belle grinned slowly. "Let's do it," she said. "I even have a new reward."

She pulled out a strip of paper, folded it in half, and wrote on it: One pass for 24 hours of free fussing.

"Okay, guys, whoever wins strip poker gets this." She waved it around.

"I thought you said to not encourage them," Andy joked as she sat down next to Belle and watched the guys assemble. She grinned. "That's right, Teaser and Sebastian have never played strip poker with our guys before, this should be good."

"Hey, can we turn fussing into something else?" Teaser asked with a grin.

"Not if you want to survive," Thomas said with a little grin. "Been there, tried that. Doesn't work." He pointed at Sess and Eclipse.

Andy snorted a bit. Teaser would learn what counted as a Bad Idea and what didn't, and flirting with her and Belle was definitely a Bad Idea.

Belle rolled her eyes and sat down to watch the fun. Especially since there were three incubi now. Oh this was bound to be fun.

Thomas, Teaser, and Sebastian all exchanged looks and grinned. This was going to be fun...

Andy settled down next to Belle. This was definitely going to be good. At least, once most of them lost their shoes.

Saetan didn't participate. Instead, he loomed over them, just a bit. Just enough to make sure they all remembered he was there supervising them. Which didn't deter the incubi from losing their shoes pretty quickly.

Andy noticed Saetan looming a bit. Well, that wasn't fair. Digging into her bag quickly, she pulled out a rather battered-looking copy of the first Black Jewels book.

"Saetan, you may as well sit down and amuse yourself with this," she said, handing him the book. "It's kind of amusing from an outside point of view."

Saetan raised an eyebrow at her but took the book, sitting a little ways away. He kept one eye on the game and one eye on the book. He didn't want things to get out of hand, after all.

The others, meanwhile, were still quickly losing articles of clothing. Mainly shoes and socks.

Briar was the first one to lose his shirt, which didn't surprise Andy at all. He never really struck her as the good-at-poker kind. He stripped off his shirt, grumbling.

Thomas lost his shirt next, dumping it on Teaser with a grin. Teaser just snorted and stole it, sitting on it. Thomas almost pouted.
