Also, I'm sorry if the characters seem OOC, but the writters don't give us much of the characters just relaxing or goofing off. Well, they give us Artha, but no one else.
Conner Penn was, by all means, a patient father. He wasn't overly scrict, nor did he let his kids run loose. He was usually calm with them.
But when they were running off into a nearly certain-death situation on nothing but another kid's hunch well, he got a little annoyed.
"You're taking Lance with you! Are you insane!" He roared.
"He wants to go dad. I can't stop him." Artha shrugged his shoulders. "I told him not to, but you just can't reason with that kid"
"Artha this is madness! I've told you about River City, there is nothing there of any use to us"
Artha petted Beau, turning away from Conner. "Moordryd seems to think there is"
"And if Moordryd jumped off a bridge would you do that to"
"Depends on his reason." Artha smilled as Beau rolled his eyes.
"Artha." Conner began desperately. "Moordryd is suicidal! He just wants to fight! He doesn't think there is anything that could help us"
"Dad he's not crazy, and he doesn't want to die." Artha growled, beginning to get annoyed with his father's whining. " Look, it was just him and me going, but then the others said they had to come. You might as well give up dad, we're going"
"And it's great to hear what you think of me Conner." Moordryd muttered, making Conner jump in surprise.
"I probably should've mentioned he was here, huh?" Artha smirks. "Come on Dad, we've beaten bonemarks and everything else the world's thrown at us. The wraiths won't be able to touch us"
"Oh, and that's what happened last time the Shadow Booster fought the wraiths"
Moordryd stood up quickly to face Conner, but Beau jumped in front of him. The gold dragon growled softly too him. Moordryd seemed to understand and limped past Conner with a sour look on his face.
"Moordryd!" Artha called after him. "Low dad." He growled, running of after the other teen.
Conner sighed. What was he suposed to do?
"Moordryd!" Artha yelled, running after him. "Moordryd stop! Moordryd he didn't mean it"
Moordryd spun around to glare at him. "Yeah right. Like I care what he thinks, I'm suicidal"
"Will you stop being a jerk and just listen to me!" Artha yelled. "Come on, Dad was just being an idiot, he didn't mean that. We're not going to be eaten by wraiths"
"He wasn't being an idiot, he was right damn it! If I couldn't do anything the first time what will happen if they attack us! I can't even walk proply!" Moordryd snarled back. "You shouldn't go. Hell, no one should go. I'll go by myself and that way only I'll get eaten and"
Artha grabbed Moordryd's shoulders and forced the pale teen to look at him.
"And what Moordryd? Never come back and make us come after you to make sure you're alright?" He cocked his head to the side."Do you really think that would be any better"
"No." Moordryd sighed. He yelped as Artha pulled him into a hug. "Wha! No, let me go someone'll see"
"No one will see." Artha smiled.
Artha yipped as Moordryd bit him on his upper arm. Bit him hard.
"Aah! You little!" he jumped away, rubbing the spot. "You violent little...wait 'till I get my hands on you"
"You'll have to catch me first Penn!" Moordryd snickered, disapearing around the corner.
"It is so on Payne"
Aww, our boys are having fun!
Ooh, and if someone could draw the last bit, I would be eternaly greatful!
