Andy couldn't help but laugh a bit at Teaser's reaction.

"Have fun!" she said as she turned and made her way back to town.

Belle grinned and kept track of the cats and the fairies while Andy was gone.

By the time she got back, the cats were clearly getting frustrated. They kept growling at the fairies, who were laughing at them and darting out of the way effortlessly.

"You should have seen it," Belle said with a little cackle as soon as she saw Andy. "Kaelas nearly ran head-first into a tree."

"Aww, poor thing," Andy said as she set down the pizza boxes. "I'll make sure to brush him out really well later, that should put him back into a good mood."

Instantly, the fairies all darted over to hover in a straight line, looking expectantly and eagerly at the pizza boxes. Belle chuckled.

"I'll go get Dejaal and make sure he doesn't try to attack them," she said with a grin. "I think Kaelas might be frustrated enough to just give up now." She walked over to go grab Dejaal by the collar. Not that she could physically hold him back, but it made her feel better.

Andy grinned a bit when the fairies immediately lined up. She took the smaller of the pizza boxes and peeked inside. It was cut into six equal pieces. Perfect. She looked back at the fairies.

"Alright, you all get to duke it out," she said, opening the box.

The fairies all descended on the pizza immediately, squabbling over the pieces and cutting off smaller slices. Within ten minutes the entire pizza was gone and all six fairies looked a lot fatter, sitting or laying down groaning in happy too-full stomach pains.

Belle snickered and shook her head, getting her own pizza much more calmly.

Andy couldn't help but snicker as well as she left the fairies to demolish their pizza and went to join Belle.

"Well, that was... amusing," she commented.

"Oh yes," Belle said with a big grin. "That was even better than I thought it would be."

"And now they're fed for the whole week, probably," Thomas piped up, plopping next to them.

"Oh goodie."

Andy grinned.

"Literal 'catch the fairy,'" she commented. "Those poor cats, I don't think they thought it would be that difficult."

"I'm sure they thought it would be easy. Until they actually tried it." Belle grinned and petted Dejaal's head as he flopped on her other side, resting his head in her lap.

"It was so amusing, though."

Andy scratched behind Kaelas's ears as the cat flopped down next to her.

"And you never thought to use a bubble shield," she teased him. Kaelas just grumbled a little.

Belle grinned and laughed quietly, eating her pizza while running her other hand along Dejaal's head and neck, relaxing the big cat.

Andy finished off a couple slices of pizza, and then set about brushing Kaelas. The giant cat sprawled out and relaxed a bit more, letting her brush him.

After Belle finished her pizza as well, she brushed out Dejaal and made sure he was all nice and clean. He relaxed, purring a little as he laid there.

Once Kaelas was brushed out and dozing, Andy dug around in her bag for a different brush and then went and settled herself behind Sesshoumaru to start with his hair. Neither of them said anything about it, but neither of them needed to.

Belle didn't say anything either, just brushed out Dejaal and then relaxed where she was, letting Thomas play with her hair again. It kept him happy and fed, at least.

Andy spent a while just brushing out Sesshoumaru's hair. She grinned a bit when she noticed him relaxing as she did so.

Belle stayed there for most of the rest of the night, checking on her eggs occasionally. She figured they'd get going again pretty soon, probably. They'd gotten the supplies they needed, and they'd both earned some money at the gym.

"So where to next?" she asked quietly, glancing over at Andy.

"What's around here?" Andy asked in return as she started to braid Sesshoumaru's hair. "Anything interesting? Or do we need to get out of dragon territory first?"

"Probably. I know that if you go a little ways away there's a couple of little towns, like the one outside Ephemera, and then you actually get into gryphon territory. Which could be fascinating." Belle grinned.

"And don't tell me you're not interested in at least seeing a gryphon."

"I'm not interested," Andy replied. She grinned. "I'm fascinated."

Belle snorted. "I guess that's going on our list of places to see. Anywhere else that you know of?"

"I can't think of anywhere else I absolutely have to go," Andy replied. "I'm up for anything."

"Alright. Well, we might as well head towards gryphon territory," Belle said with a shrug. "And see what happens from there. Maybe we'll find somewhere else to go once we're up there."

"Works for me," Andy replied. It seemed that they were back in the 'wandering around' phase, but that didn't bother her much.
