"I've gotten so used to my travelling revolving around them that I don't think much of it anymore," Andy mused. She paused, then laughed a bit. "If they do have an egg, I'll have to stay close to the beach. Baby dragons eat."

"Oh yeah, I can imagine. In all the dragon books I've read, hatchlings eat a ton and grow really fast for like the first year."

Andy nodded in agreement.

"I think that's one of the universal constants," she said. "Like I said, I would probably stick close to the shore in that case."

"Good idea." Belle grinned. "That or keep a herd of buffalo or deer or something close by. Not likely to happen, but hey, you never know."

"That would defeat the purpose of having fewer beings to worry about feeding," Andy pointed out. "It's easier to let Temmy and Li Li hunt for themselves, and they enjoy it anyways."

Belle nodded. "Yea, I know. Well you don't have to worry about that yet so."

"Yeah," Andy agreed. "Still, may as well be ready for it." She paused. "Well, as ready as one can be for such a thing."

Belle snorted. "Yeah, really." Shaking her head a little, she stretched out. "I'd much rather get a fire lizard."

"Not me," Andy said. "That's the reason I didn't want an Iskierka. I didn't want to have to worry about leaving fires everywhere. Iskierka is from the Temeriare books as well," she added.

"Well fire lizards are from the Pern books, and they're like dragons only really miniature. Most fire lizards are only a few feet long. They can't speak, but they're still very intelligent."

"I knew they sounded familiar..." Andy mused. She shook her head. "Still. Not something I really want." She didn't care of Belle got one, though. It was completely up to Belle.

Belle nodded. "Yup. I understand." She yawned briefly and stretched again. "I almost feel like taking a nap."

"I'll bet," Andy said. "Go ahead, it's not like we're in a hurry to go anywhere."

Belle nodded and put a jacket down, using her arm as a pillow before she curled up on the ground there, closing her eyes. Within minutes she was asleep, almost completely still. Eclipse watched her silently, his eyes dark, before he sat down opposite the two trainers and kept an eye on Belle.

"Wow. Guess she was tired." Seth shook his head a little.

"I'm not surprised," Andy said. "She did say she wasn't sleeping well. At least she's getting sleep now."

Seth nodded. "Yeah. So what do you want to do? See how well Van Hellsing will get along with everyone else?"

"That's completely up to you, man," Andy replied, grinning. "He's yours, not mine."

"Might as well get the fireworks over with." Seth grinned and released Van Hellsing. "Don't kill anyone, please."

Van Hellsing looked around, his eyes narrowing when he saw the few various demons around camp, then the two gods and the dragons and various other things. He reached for one of his guns, unsure.

"I'm not sure whether to find this amusing or not," Andy commented, torn between snickering and just sitting back to watch.

Seth watched as Van Hellsing started to walk around. "I'm voting for amused so far."

"Well, as long as he doesn't try to tangle with my boys, amused is good," Andy said.

"I don't think he'll try to tangle with anyone, as you put it," Seth said, watching him. "He's probably just going to be twitchy for a while."

"Well, if he tries, he's on his own," Andy replied. She grinned. "We may as well sit back and watch the fireworks."

Seth chuckled and nodded, watching as Van Hellsing walked around camp a few times, eyeing everyone warily as he tried to figure everything out.

Standing up, Andy stretched and glanced around at her group. Tia seemed to be fitting in well enough, and she seemed to have taken it upon herself to keep an eye on the two dragons out on the water. She was about to find something to amuse herself with when Kaelas came over and handed her his brush, clearly asking her to finish brushing him.
