"What?" Sebastian asked, his eyebrow inching higher up his forehead. Thomas looked over at her as well, deftly slipping the pendant over his head again.

"You're not quite how I pictured you," Andy replied. "Which is happening increasingly often, but that's okay."

Sebastian snorted. "Well I never imagined trainers would be calm and collected," he shot back with a faint smirk. Thomas merely snickered.

"You only say that now."

Andy rolled her eyes.

"Well, fair warning, here be dragons," she said. "And giant cats."

"Yeah, I heard that from her." Sebastian shrugged. As long as they didn't try to eat him he'd be fine.

"They're pretty harmless," Andy said. "Of course, I'm biased, they're my dragons."

"Don't worry, I'll have one of my own soon enough," Belle called over with a big slightly evil grin. Sebastian decided it was best to ignore her and went back to his conversation with Thomas.

Andy rolled her eyes as well and went over to see what Belle was doing with the fish.

Belle was almost done, having stuck the fish in some marinade and sliced it into little strips, along with preparing rice and veggies. "Okay, just about ready."

"It's a good think you know how to cook, because I don't," Andy commented. "We'd be back to plain fish and rice if it were my job."

Belle laughed quietly. "Well, I like cooking. So I don't mind."

"I think we've had this conversation before," Andy commented, grinning. She made sure to stay out of the way while Belle was cooking.

"I know we have." Belle just smiled and set out bowls. "Alright, if you want some there's food."

Andy grabbed herself a plate before the guys all got there, and then moved out of the line of fire.

Belle chuckled as she sat down to enjoy the food and just relax for a while.

Once dinner was over, Andy handed over her plate to Belle again.

"Do you have those books you mentioned?" she asked. "I may as well start reading them now."

"Yeah, sure," Belle said with a grin. "Here." She dug out the books, handing them over to her.

"I think tomorrow I'll go look for a Teaser. Because that would be great. and you know it."

Andy grinned.

"Just warn him about the giant cats, at least," she said. "As amusing as his hysteria is, at least warn him about the cats."

"I will, but I'm sure he'll freak out anyway." Belle grinned. "Have fun with the books. I'm getting a Niko, by the way."

"I don't know who that is yet," Andy replied. "Which I'm sure will change in a couple hours or so." Sitting back, she opened the first book.

"Try within five minutes." Belle grinned and settled back, letting her read. She wasn't sure if it would be funny or slightly suicidal to get a Cal and a Niko.

"Give me a little while to learn the rules here," Andy replied, a bit distractedly. She snorted. "Oh this'll be good, I can tell already."

Belle just grinned and watched her bishis interacting and having fun. She was really glad they were all getting along; she'd hate to have to break up a fight.

Andy settled in to keep reading, not really paying attention to the rest of the group. The book was really highly entertaining, after all.

Belle bounced back to camp late the next day with a Teaser in tow. He looked around curiously, and then stopped when he saw the two big cats.

"I told you we had big cats," Belle said calmly.

"You didn't mention they were freaking huge," Teaser said, looking wary and a little freaked. "They're bigger than I am!"

"Yeah. So?"
