Lukas smiled. "Would be nice to give them a good work out. I haven't done that in a while, sure, sounds like a good plan to me." He patted Oni on the head. "Just let me finish this cup of coffee and we'll go." He leaned over and kissed Oni's cheek then sat back up and took another sip of coffee.

Lukas sipped at his coffee and pulled Oni into his lap wrapping his arm around Oni's waist. "I like you better here." He teased and kisses his cheek again. "I don't think you mind though." He teased a little more leaning his head on Oni's shoulder letting himself slowly wake up.

[[sorry, drawn into the world of shugo chara Dx]]
Lukas finished the few remaining sips of his coffee and picked Oni up with ease carrying him out the back door. Once out he set Oni on his feet. He took off his own shirt so that it wouldn't get torn or bloodied and handed it to Oni to hold and closed his eyes concentrating. His skin grew a little whiter as the bones started to reform and sprout from his back and the scales growing over them. He let out a soft sigh and stretched as soon as the process was done.

Derrick looked at Lilli, about to reply when she took off. He grinned and grabbed her boots, running to catch her. He dodged a few people on the way down and jumped over a couple currently engaged in sucking face. They looked up when he jumped, then shrugged it off and resumed. Derrick shortened his strides a bit as he landed, trying to gain his balance and tripped a second or so later, cursing silently to himself as he rolled, springing back up and resuming, not missing a beat. Lilli was a few feet ahead, and he caught up to her in no time, dropping her boots a good ways away from the water. He took three long strides before diving to the shore, hitting the shallow and rolling to a squatting position right before going any deeper than ankle-length. He heard Lilli behind him and smiled. "I can't get my pants wet." He chuckled quietly, hearing her breath a little heavier than when they had walked. "I'm kind of glad I can't carry shoes around," he said, wiggling his toes, watching the already wet sand mix with the water.

Arina sighed softly. Everyone had disappeared on her again. She moved out to the would be gardens again. "Oh spring you're just around the corner..." she said to the wind. It was cold and she probably should have a coat but she didn't care. She let her silver gaze fall over the place. She then moved towards the swing. Her eyes dulled a bit an she started to hum, the familiar draw of the roses calling to her. She hadn't been bleed in a long while. She sat down on the swing humming to the awakening rosebush letting it reach towards her fingers.

Lukas let out a laugh. "I think you said something like that the first time you saw them." He said after the laughing had calmed. He stretched his wings out one at a time and gave a light yawn. "I guess I'm still waking up a little." He admitted and ran a hand through his hair. "Alright, let's go!" He exclaimed grabbing Oni and taking off into the air holding Oni by the waist.

"Of course you're not." He said and smiled "You want to find out?" he added and kept shooting upward he laughed softly only going as high as he knew Oni's human lungs would be comfortable considering the air thinned the higher up you went. She stopped knowing when it would start to get uncomfortable breathing and hovered there. "Well, looks like this is as high as I go." He said hugging Oni's waist a little more.
[and unfortunately, with this i must head to bed.]]

(( okay night. ))

Oni was able to get out a ,"Yes," just before Lukas shot upward. The view was breathtaking and for a moment Oni didn't realize how high they were. Oni knew Lukas wouldn't let go of him but he was a little scared. He had never been so high up in the air before. In a shaky little voice he said, "I-I -It's beautiful from way up here." He tightened his grip on Lukas though as the fear of being so high up crept over him. Even though he was afraid the it was definitely worth it.

Arina sighed as the blood was drawn from her fingers but she didn't really mind. She'd honestly wished it was being taken in a different way. The thought made her blush a little, but she quickly got over it pulling her fingers away from the prying vines. "Thats enough, you'll turn into a glutton and won't make pretty flowers if you have too much." She cooed to the plant and it went back to it's natural state. She moved around the gardens, the snow already starting to disappear. With a breath, her wings appeared from her back, the back of her dress was low enough that it wouldn't tear. She then jumped up into the air hovering just above the trees before heading towards the caves.

[[oh come on =/ it's been over 5 hours so i can do this btw. anyway, why is it sooo dead?]]

Derrick turned his head around. "What? That I can't carry around shoes or I can't get my pants wet?" He shifted, sitting back on the dry sand and flopping his feet in the shallow water. "I'll tell you why for both. I don't want my pants wet because then I'd have to take them off to let them dry, because I simply hate wet clothing, and I didn't pack underwear. Too much to carry around," he said, looking up at Lilli and winking. "I'm glad I can't carry shoes around because I like feeling the grass under my feet, the wet sand and cool water. Also I'm pretty used to it, so if I did have shoes I'd feel kind of weird. I never did like shoes anyway, according to Anna." He smiled, then set back on looking at his feet. "I wonder what size shoes I am anyways. I usually wear flip-flops when I get the chance, but those are even pretty weird." He said absent-mindedly, wiggling his toes.

((hello?))

((Aww... fine, i'll check later...))

[[gah, my poor piggie has an eye infection.]]

[[Hey guys, it's Derrick. Sorry about this, but I'm on my friend Rain's profile at the moment because I'm being attacked (well, i'm having to hold her while she sits and clings to me and cries all damn day...) but yeah. I just wanted to let you guys know why I haven't posted in the two or so days. I might not be on that much after this.. Sorry bout this. >_<;;]]

[[what happened?]]

[[Alright. I'm back on my profile thingy for the moment. And, well... She's homesick. And her parents are disowning her. 'Nuff said.]]

Derrick looked up to where Lilli pointed. Suprisingly, the cloud did look like a cat. He grinned, and moved her finger over to another cloud. "That one looks like a fish." And yet another, "And that one's a cow. Or a horse. Maybe a horse-cow." He laughed and rubbed the back of his neck, remembering her first comment. "Interesting, eh? How so?" He said, moving his arm to lean back on them and resting it heavily on Lilli's arm. "Sorry about that," he said, yanking his arm off of her, then looking at her arm. "You okay? It didn't hurt, did it?" He knew he weighed a bit much because of his leopard form, and to lean back on someone's arm like that he could have broken it. "Lilli?"

Arina sighed, she got lonely easily. She stared to walk through the yard humming mindlessly to herself. She stretched and leaned against a tree after a while twisting a small strand of hair around her finger while letting her silver gaze drift along the clouds in the sky.
