Scars -Artimis-

[nilo7]

Without turning his head or stop typing Artimis said "You okay. You had a nightmare didn't you." Artimis is showing that he cared some but he didn't like the fact that he was doing so. Artimis blinked a few times and stoped typing. He knew that if that were him he would like the person to help him. Artimis got up with this in mind and went into the bathroom to get a glass of water fro morgan. He walked over to Morgan handing him the glass of water and saying "Here this should help with sore muscles it always helps if they hurt or if they are stiff." Artimis got this information from his past experiences. Sense he was raised by a assasination group he was getting hurt left and right. Artimis looked away from Morgan and started to blus a bit from embarassment of him being so kind he wasn't use to this its like he was starting to become a caring father or something.

Morgan didn't look at Thirteen. It was nice of him to help, but Morgan really didn't like any attention when it came to medical things. He was proud, enough so that he'd rather limp the entire way to get water and look like an idiot doing so than accept it from somebody else. If it had been somebody he knew, he would have bared his teeth to express his annoyance. But he didn't know Thirteen that well, so he took the water from him and set it on the floor, giving him a thank you. A flame erupted from his mouth when he spoke. It had been intentional that time, giving himself an excuse on why he didn't drink the water. He didn't want to hurt Thirteen's feelings since he seemed like an ok guy. Morgan rubbed his hands together in an attempt to get warmer.

Artimis letting go of the glass of water as Morgan grabbed it turned around and went back over to his computer. Artimis didn't know what this guy's problem was. Apparently he thoght he was t good for help. Artimis hated people like that he always thought if you got hurt let people help you if they want to. He let Morgan help him to a point where morgan couldn't help anymore. Artimis sat in a chair infront of a desk that he got for his computer. He grabbed a set of earphones that covered his whole ear and put them on. Artimis started to play the song Psycho by Puddle of Mud on his computer just ignoring Morgan's actions.

Morgan swallowed the water when he saw that Thirteen wasn't paying attention to him anymore. He hadn't meant to be a jerk, so the least he could do was respect what he had done for him. The cold water hadn't really helped with the poikilothermic issue, but Thirteen had been right: Morgan didn't feel as stiff. His limp as he walked over to Thirteen looked more like his foot had pins and needles from being asleep instead of his real issue. Morgan lifted up one of the vampire's headphones, letting the music flow into the room as well as letting Morgan be heard. "I wanted to say thanks for the water, and tell you I'm gonna go fly around to warm up. Wanna come?" In Dracula by Bram Stoker, vampires could turn into vampire bats. But that didn't mean vampires could actually do that, Morgan knew. He was a dragon, why would he know? Thirteen was the only vampire he knew, to be exact. So if the white-haired vampire got insulted, Morgan would apologize, even though he hadn't meant to be insulting in the first place.

Morgan let go, and the headphone snapped back into place. Walking backwards, he went to the door and opened it, waiting this time for Thirteen to say something before running off. Still slightly annoyed by Thirteen's superior attitude about something he did not know about first-hand, Morgan kept the left side of his face completely visible. It actually made it a little harder to see Thirteen; the only light was coming from the left, so his view of the guy was darker than it should be. Whatever, Morgan thought.

[nilo7]

Artimis looked at Morgan as he took his earphone off of his ear for a second. Artimis smirked a bit when Morgan said thanks for the water. Artimis looked outside to see if it had any light out yet. Artimis said "If i go with you I have to be back before sunrise you know this right? Plus I would have to ride on you because I don't have wings because I don't turn into a bat. So if you are okay with those conditions then sure I'll go with you for a fly." Artimis looked at Morgan waiting for an answer waiting for what he thought about the whole idea.

[rex]

Morgan made a mental note: Vampires do not turn into bats. He already knew about their aversion to sunlight, but it was good to know for a fact that they weren't shapeshifters as well. "I'm fine with it. But I've never flown with somebody riding me before, just a heads up." Morgan walked out of the room after he finished speaking. He wondered if vampire would chicken out: never having flown before with having to remember there is somebody who can fall off with you, and the fact he couldn't see anything coming towards them on his left side couldn't be a very reassuring combination.

Morgan walked through the campus like nothing was up, but once he got into the trees, he started looking around more. He probably looked stupid having to turn his head so much to check if anybody was coming from the left, but he'd rather look weird with his skin on than let a human see what he really looked like. When he got to the clearing where he normally took off from and was satisfied that there was nobody around to see, Morgan went back into his real form. Going from a bipedal human to a quadrupedal dragon was a bit disorienting sometimes, but he didn't notice it this time. Stretching his wings out to their full length, Morgan looked back to see if Thirteen followed or not. He had a bad habit of doing that, walking off without making sure the person was still with him or not. Even so, he crouched down anyway so the guy could climb on if he had stayed with him, and scanned the trees for the albino pigmented vampire, just in case. And if he didn't see him at all, Morgan would have to assume that Thirteen hadn't come at all and fly off without him. It's not like the boy blended in with the foliage or anything.

[nilo7]

Artimis didn't really want to go for a ride anymore but he could use some fresh air. Artimis followed Morgan as he went outside. Except when Morgan was going to let him on he just stood right next to him wondering if he did want to go for a ride how would he get on Morgan's back. Artimis stood there looking at Morgan and said "So........What do i do?" Artimis was truly lost on how he could get on Morgan's back. It would be like maybe climbing a mountain to him and Artimis didn't like to work.

[rex]

Morgan mentally slapped his forehead for forgetting to tell Thirteen that, unlike in some movies, it was actually pretty hard to speak in English when he was in his real form. Not to say there aren't dragons who can speak English; it's just hard to pronounce the words in an understandable manner, and Morgan did not have enough practice to speak coherently. That placed an issue on explaining how to climb to a vampire who did not speak Dragon. So Morgan leaned his head down and over to bite the back of Thirteen's collar, lifted him up, and then placed him at the base of his neck, where the guy should be able to ride comfortably and be able to climb higher once they were in the air, because Morgan wouldn't have to hold his head vertically anymore.

Thirteen obviously has never ridden a dragon before, so Morgan hesitated before taking off. Instead, he partially spread his wings and tensed like he was preparing to push off, as if to say "I'm ready when you are". It wouldn't be exactly nice to scare his new roommate half to death by suddenly jumping into the air now, would it?

[nilo7]

Artimis was a bit freaked out when Morgan grabbed him with his mouth. Artimis didn't like his feet not to be touching anything. Artimis could feel Morgan tensing up getting ready to jump into the air. Artimis grabbed on to Morgan's neck so he could have a safe lift off without Artimis falling off and breaking his bones. Artimis said "Okay I think I am read." gripping tight on Morgan's neck.

[rex]

Morgan nodded, then pushed off. Immediately, he began to beat his wings to gain height. He was conscious of the fact that height mattered, a detail that only really mattered when you had someone riding you who cannot breathe at the same altitudes dragons can. It wouldn't help either of them if Thirteen passed out from lack of air. He evened off at roughly six hundred feet, a height he was pretty sure wouldn't give Thirteen any trouble. Morgan held out his neck horizontally to prevent extra wind resistance, mostly, but it also gave Thirteen the option to move around more easily.

An advantage to having dark scales is that you don't have to worry about being spotted at night. If you're going fast enough, you may not even be able to be caught with the average telescope. Morgan wasn't worried about being spotted, so he kept at a highway speed of 60 mph. Banking, Morgan looked back at Thirteen. He'd seemed a little nervous, and Morgan was curious on if was enjoying it or not.

[nilo7]

When Morgan took off Artimis gripped as hard as he could from nervousness. After Morgan got to a height that he felt comfortable in Artimis looked down and saw how high they were. This made Artimis more scared to were he started shaking. "You stupid idiot why did you make yourself looked down? You now you don't like hights that much." Artimis thought to himself. When Morgan moved his next out horizontally Artimis started to feel a little bit better. Artimis felt comfortable after a minute and started to lossen his grip. Artimis looked up at the sky and saw all the stars go by and saw the bright moon. Artimis was fascinated with the stars and moon ever sense he was little and this flight made him fell even closer to them. Artimis looked at the sky with a smile, He loved flying now. He wasn't paying any attention to ho high they were in the air now.

[rex]

It was apparent that Thirteen was enjoying himself. He kept staring up. Did that mean he wanted to go higher? Most likely not; it was fun to gaze at the sky from this height, Morgan knew from experience. But Morgan decided he would just assume that Thirteen wanted to go higher. It was his first flight on a dragon after all, and Morgan wanted to show him what flying could really do. So up they went, at a near vertical angle.

Morgan had never taken someone flying before, so he never learned what you should tell a rider before getting airborne. First off, most dragons can't talk, so you're on your own while in the air (most people figure that one out pretty quick). Second, hold on tight, unless you are positive you are going to be coasting for a while. Third, trust your dragon: they've flown before, you haven't. There were a few more, but the first three are the main ones. Unfortunatly, Morgan hadn't told Thirteen any of them, and if you're not holding on when ascending, you're going to fall in most cases.

[nilo7]

Artimis loved the sight of the night sky but then he relied that Morgan was going higher up into the sky. Artimis grabbed to the back part of Morgan's neck as tight as he could and started to shake with fear of heights again. Artimis then closed his eyes letting Morgan take care of the flying and all he had to worry about was holding on tight and not to look down.

[rex]

Scales don't have the sensitivity to touch that skin does, but Morgan could feel that he had surprised Thirteen. Oops. Leveling out again, he looked back at the vampire rider. He was shaking, and his eyes were shut. Morgan made a mental note to apologize later for scaring him. But, there was something off about the way Thirteen looked. He didn't seem as pale, though his skin and hair were obviously still white. Morgan turned his head forward again and threw it off to the lighting, then jerked his head back when he realized what that meant. Thirteen wasn't as pale because he wasn't being hit with moonlight anymore, which meant it was dawn, or awfully close to it. Morgan went into a dive, hoping he'd reach the ground before it was too late for the young vampire.

[nilo7]

Artimis still had his eyes shut but now felt the feeling of a large drop. Artimis was no scared out of his mind he didn't want to open his eyes but he thought it might be getting close to sunrise which was bad news for him. Artimis opened his eyes to see if the were heading back to find Morgan flight strait to the ground. This scared him greatly but when he looked up at the sky he knew why Morgan was doing it. Artimis was preparing himself just in case the weren't going to make it in time. Artimis pulled his trench coat over his head to block the sun when it came up. All he had to worry about was his face because every over part of his skin was cover except for his hands which he just tucks into his sleeves when this happens.
