Arthur sighed and looked at the piles of dishes before he blinked to himself. He glanced around the room before he hummed. He leaned in his seat once more.
"God, I'm so unamused by this. I feel like I'm breathing through a straw at the moment." Arthur stated before he tilted his head before he clicked his head. "I'm going to need a break from this. Yeah, that's the best thing on my mind, scream and burn everything." Arthur stated as he leaned back towards the wall.
Still? He was honestly curious at the time. This made him nervous more than anything. It had made him scream internally as he realized that Elma and he were going to be in an awkward position for a time when it came down to it.
"I'm kinda glad she's going to apply for the job, really glad. We need to have a major talk when this is done." Arthur stated before he sighed to himself and leaned back in his seat.
He stretched his wings and put a hand to his temples. It made him as he clicked his claws against his legs.
"Why did I say next to say something stupid like this?" Arthur stated before he hummed to himself. "There's a lot more on the line than this. We both know what is going to happen if she gets back here and wants to talk about it." Arthur stated before he sighed to himself.
He slowly sat up and tilted his head to himself and clicked his jaw.
This had been terrifying to him, it'd push him to his limits either damn way and he couldn't stand that. He wanted the control of his life he'd become accustomed to. There was only so damn much he could say or do before then. It'd be a lot more interesting when it came down to this. They had to be better.
Still? if Elma was like this? It'd be next to impossible. It had to come down to it. He waited for her to come back. There was only so much that could be said or done before now. He'd be a lot more interesting as of the second.
He'd be a lot more as of the second. There was more to be done, he plopped himself down on the couch, looking around the room as of the time for her to come back to the room. If she wanted to talk with him one last time about the insanity they had gone through? Then it'd never do anything at the time.
He was interrupted by a few footsteps. He glanced around, interested in what was to come. That'd be no blasted different at the time. Nothing at all would change before now. It'd just be hard when it came down to it. They had far more to say and do before now.
The few footsteps were followed by a few more, each softer than it'd be coming down to it. there were more than a few times he had been caught off guard before this. Only a few more appeared in front of him.
Elma glanced at him before it came down to it. She took a seat next to him, planting herself next to him as he sighed and looked at her. Her tail swished back and forth in place before he seemed to question what to say or do.
He tapped his claws on the couch, his tail swishing against the sofa as he sighed and tried to think of what to say or do next. There was so much that he couldn't do before now. Anything else would be hard to manage and harder to fathom. He didn't want to fathom what was and what wasn't before long.
Still? They had so much to discuss for now. He looked at her with a small smile before he seemed to quest as of the second.
He tapped on his arms before he tilted his head to the side. He had a lot more on his mind and it seemed as if she had the same idea when it came down to it. there was a lot more to fathom and talk about it.
He had been curious and this was making him more curious as to what was to happen next.
"Are you ok?" Arthur questioned before he turned to look at his friend with hope.
"Yeah, a little," Elma stated before she frowned
Arthur sighed as he seemed to question what to do next before this had come down to it. there was more time to say and do this before now. this was going to be a lot more interesting as of the time being.'
Still? if there was even a little to do next as of the time being. she had a lot more to say and do next. It had been a lot more curious as the time what to say and do.
She reached a hand across the way towards him. It made him blink as he realized what she was being honest about trying to do anything to stop it.
She was curious and he knew she was curious at the end of the day. Romance probably would be something he didn't at all wish to question before the day was done and dusted. She wasn't exactly the most interesting soldier as of the second. Still? it wasn't like either of them was wrong to have sorted. It had been a lot of fun at the end of the day and nothing to bother them at the end of the day.
It had been fun. Yet it had to end. This was going to have ended sooner or later. He didn't know what else was coming. He didn't question her, but he did know how insane this was going to have gotten to that point. He knew more of what to do.
He had been a bit thrown off by this if he was honest. He hadn't at expect it at the time. Still? He blushed as he realized the intent behind the idea had been and he wasn't exactly hateful to the end of the time.
He reached out his hand towards hers while blushing as she took a seat on the sofa. She blushed but accepted it either blasted way.
It had been… Awkward for him despite the best of his intentions. It wasn't like he wanted to bother her… But the idea of kinship or romantic attention with one of his kind had been something that he hadn't yet considered at the end of the day. he didn't seem to give it much of a glance.
She blinked at him as she felt her fingers brush his. The Earth dragon seemed to reciprocate it.
There was a lot more to this than either dragon had known. He brushed off her hands. This had been a lot more as of the time… It'd be a lot more fun if both of them agreed.
Still? She scooted over on the sofa before she hummed, questioning for the time being when all of this time and being. Elma looked at him as she stretched across the sofa, her stomach slowly tugging itself free from the confines of her shirt as she sat next to him, stretching her hand towards his before long. She had been a lot more interesting as of the second. It had been a lot more to question.
Arthur hummed to himself before sighing to himself. There was a lot more to say and do… And yet she had been pressed onwards. This had been as of the second.
Elma reached across the sofa, her fingers scraping against his as he seemed to consider for now. It'd be an odd little thing for now. Whatever came next? She wanted to face it with him. she still wanted it to be odd for now. it made her laugh now. She had made herself smile before now. It had been an odd little part of her ideas when this was decided for now.
Arthur still watched as she did so, blushing as she mimicked his motion as he seemed to question before now. It'd be a weird little point.
Finally? Her fingers curled around his, the two blushing as both dragons finally locked hands, their fingers intertwining as they looked at each other. Arthur collapsed against the edge of the sofa, curious as to how this had been. She leaned over, resting against the Earth Dragon as he did so. This had been something cool for now. It'd be an odd little thing for now.
She rested against his chest, glancing at his face as she tried not to blush. She hadn't felt like this… Not often, and not against many other dragons in this manner. She had blushed despite herself and despite her instructions.
"You, ok?" Arthur asked as he tried to push the odd part of his amusement in his mind. "Em?" Arthur asked as he struggled to keep his jovial little smile before now.
Arthur hummed to himself before he tilted his head, clearing his throat before he finally started to question what to do next. It had been a fun little thing. Their instincts were screaming at one another to cut into each other despite one another.
Still? they held themselves back. They didn't want it. Not that way. Not the way they had stared at one another with an interest. It had been something he couldn't yet fathom and something he couldn't yet wish to understand for even a second. He smiled to himself despite his best urges, despite whatever he did next would be of his own free will for now.
This couldn't be something that came from their damn emotions anyway. Not from some savage instincts tucked in their bodies. It'd be something odd for now, something that hadn't yet come to pass if he could control it. He wanted to control himself despite his best instructs as of now. This had come a time when this was a lot more under control. It had been something fun and exciting now.
Still? He did not give in to that part of life. He couldn't let that part of himself win even if he had been a lot more focused on the mind. He had a lot more to process for now.
He had been ready for whatever came that next. Yet? It had been a lot more before now. It had been a lot more to happen as of the second. This had been odd before now. It had a lot more to handle on the mind when it came down to it. His mind had been boggled.
"Yes… Sorry." Elma stated before she smiled as he looked at her with an odd little look at the dragon. "I'm just a bit as of the time. I'm a lot more curious about what to do next?" Elma stated to which Arthur nodded.
He smiled under all of the frowns as she seemed to question. It had made him question before she had curious as to about the time when it was done and dusted. It made him sigh to himself. He had been a lot more focused for now. Still? She had been an odd little before now this was said and done. Yet? She had been a nice soldier when it seemed to come to it.
She had been in a cool spot before. Inside of a spot that neither of them as of now. It made him laugh for a while she rolled her eyes before she questioned what to do next. Honestly? It made him oddly curious.
Then again? Both dragons were still interested in one another despite their differences at the time. It had been fun for this as of the time being.
It'd be odd for now, but it wouldn't stop them, nothing seemed to have been done before now. It had been something insane for now. Whatever came next would be more than what could be said and done. It'd be oddly questioning what to say and do.
Yet? They could not even slightly compare with this. Not until they knew the score and knew what they were up against, what the enemy was preparing, and a way to properly counter them.
Without that? They'd all fallen apart before now and before anything else was properly handed and spoken.
Her nose brushed his face, curious as to what to handle next now… it'd be a weird little thing if they weren't in the moment. This had been an odd position for then what came next.
He had watched as she stared at him before now. What came next would probably be odder than what they had been dealing with before now.
It had been oddly an interesting thing to what to do next. He looked at their locked fingers as the two dragons had been something yet to be done and dusted. It was oddly something weird for now.
"Elm?" Arthur questioned as he blinked before he tilted his head while he turned to question what had been done and dusted.
She blushed and looked at him with a mixture of slight embarrassment and interest. Did she want to be his mate? The idea was… Nice. She didn't have anything of her own.
She had all the food she wanted, but it did not fill her as well as she had been able to wish for now. It had been a lot more to question before now.
Elma had been blushing despite knowing how this could look. Part of her hated the embarrassment. She had come here to get her friend and she had been treated before now. She simply had questions as the water dragon before now… Whatever came next?
She wanted to face it head-on despite her best efforts for now. It had to end as of now. It'd be a hard little thing for now. She had been ready for whatever else seemed to handle before oddly handling this.
Still? She tapped her forehead to his, her horn poking from her head as she seemed to question what to say and do next. It'd be a few more seconds before she managed to find her voice as if it were indeed tainted by the awkward pause in the air.
He had a lot more to question before now. It had been a lot more to question before. It was all about what to do next. It had been a lot more to do and see off to the end as he seemed to be able to relax once more with each passing second.
"Are you ok?" Arthur questioned before he tilted his head.
"Yes… Arthur, are you ok?" Elma questioned before she tilted now. "And I'm still curious what your move…. Do you like me?" Elma seemed to talk more about what to think as of now.
It'd be a lot weirder for the Earth Dragon was one. It was a lot more to question for now when it came down to it. Whatever came down to this as of now. It was to be more to question for now as of the time being.
Still? He hadn't yet questioned what to handle before he was, he seemed to be a focus for now. He hadn't yet understood her, but he had a feeling he'd be soon on the case sooner or later.
He hadn't yet questioned what to handle before now. He wasn't over yet. He was far too much for now. He had a lot more when it was over at the time.
He had to focus more on now when it came next to this. He hadn't a lot more focus upon their ideals, ones which needed to be addressed, he also had a better grasp of this than she seemed to have that effect that it needed to have to be effective if anything.
All it did was push him in a direction he hadn't been willing to go before now, one that bothered him to the core. There was so much more to be properly peeved upon a possible closer look. He had been tired and had been unfocused on a closer look.
If anything? He had grown more scared, more worried about what was to come than what had come. They had too much on the line, too far focused upon what had and what would come next would be too much of a harrowing problem. It hadn't yet seemed as if anything had been solved or could be solved.
Elma took a seat next to her friend, looking at him as if expecting something to properly come to pass.
She knew it wouldn't, yet she held his hand expecting it to be handled and solved by understanding and a commitment to their rules.
She saw nothing showing them what it seemed to be focused upon now. There was a lot more to focus on for now on what to do. He hadn't yet seemed to be focused now while he questioned for now what to do next before as of the time.
There was too much to properly handle. She didn't know what to even start with before this was over. There was an odd little problem that yet seemed to be questioned for now.
She held his hand in hers, too unsure of what to say, what to even properly tell him if anything. She knew he was thrown off by her, she knew they had been an odd pair and she knew more than this was over for now.
There was too much to focus on before now. What he did do next? Well, that had yet to be properly focused upon… She wasn't normally sure what would be said, what would be told to the other besides their feelings. If anything? She hadn't the idea to properly handle their extermination.
He seemed to be uncertain of what was going to be over yet. He hadn't yet exchanged words with her before now. There was a lot more to properly subsume and handle.
There was too much for now. He had a lot more for now while she questioned for now what to have done.
He didn't know what else was going to have handled before now. He didn't know before now what else was going to have been done before it was over for the time being. Such problems were for now.
He had a lot more on his mind, a lot more that had yet seemed to question before he hummed before now. He hadn't the proper idea before now. This wasn't going to have been something odd before
He hadn't had the proper idea before now. Their problems had come crashing down. They had so many problems that it didn't seem fair for now. This wasn't going to have been something else that was a nightmare.
He glanced around. This place had been something else. She reached out towards him, her hands gripping his as he questioned what to have done next. He was tired, he wasn't sure he was able to have been focused for now. He had more on his mind, she smiled as he questioned before he seemed to tilt his head.
He looked around before he seemed to have been able to focus as of the second. She squeezed his fingers tightly as he tilted his head. Elma smiled, making him look at her with a tilt of her head as she questioned what to do next.
"Are you going to be, ok?" Elma questioned before she looked around, making him hum, too unsure before this was over.
He wasn't going to have been able to have been focused for now. The chaos wasn't over. But it would have been something before this was over.
"We need to get focused on what to do this." Elma as she tilted her head.
There was a moment of silence before she smiled while she tilted her head once more, she leaned against him as she glanced around. She was too unsure of what would come, how this story would handle… Yet? She smiled before he was tired now.
She leaned against him once more. He was a lot more of a terror, she didn't know what the nightmare would bring… However? She hadn't the problem on her mind, such things had yet to focus before he was sure of how to have done this thing for now.
Such things before now had been terrifying, they had almost driven him mad. It scared him to think of such things. However? Did he know more about it than again? So, he wasn't able to focus for the time being. She didn't know what to question before long, he didn't know what else was going to have been for now.
He wasn't capable of much. He hadn't the proper idea of now. I wasn't sure to have handled it. He wasn't going to be too relaxed. He had more upon the mind. He had more, a lot more to have questioned while he was over for now. The proper idea before it seemed to have been a lot more to have questioned for now.
He hadn't a lot more to have question upon the mind that he questioned before now. He hadn't the proper idea of what when it was over. He tilted his head before all was said and done, he had to worry more for her, but he couldn't. Not yet, not here at the very least.
Then again? Knowing her at this rate? It wouldn't have surprised him that she was odder than she could go flying over the edge into an odd rage of insanity when all of this was said and done. It couldn't have been odder, yet. This was what he had something else.
He yet seemed to have to question what it should have been for now. This seemed to have been a problem for now. He questioned what she'd do with all the power, all the control in the world. It seemed like she'd be somewhere soon this seemed to have been for now.
There was all too much to have to question. This hadn't yet gotten where it should have been.
"Your something else, you know that?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow and then started to look around as his tail swished back and forth, angry and confused at what the hell had happened.
"And you aren't?" Elma questioned to which Arthur hummed and looked at her.
"Sometimes, maybe. It depends on if I'm nice or not. Don't know how well this is going to have ended and you know how it came down to it." Arthur stated while he sighed, too unsure of what to tell her.
"You're an insane madman, you know that?" Arthur asked while he raised an eyebrow at her. "And I mean crazy as in super crazy when it all comes down to it," Arthur stated before he clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth.
"Maybe, but I don't see you complaining about that for now," Elma stated before she looked around, interested in what else was coming. "And I will not see this happen to anyone else. This won't end the same way it should. We still need to hunt down the monster and make sure they don't cause more damage. If anything? There's a lot more to do before today is over." Elma stated as she watched him sigh and brush off his body as he did so.
There was too much on the line as he glanced at her, watching as she smirked at him and tapped him playfully on the head. She had always been messing with him, however. This kicked it upwards.
However? He didn't know what she'd do next when all the time and effort that was put into it slowly started to expand outwards.
Yes, if anything. She had yet to crack the mold for this, there was little to nothing he couldn't do downwards if anything. This hadn't yet gotten anywhere. There was a lot more to have to do next.
He felt himself more tired when it was all for now. He was tired for now and it was still not a good time to have to talk when it came down to it. His mind had been cutting through stuff like this.
He hadn't yet seemed to have prepared for now when he questioned what he'd do next. It was something that should have been done, for now, it was clear more and more this wouldn't have happened before it came down to it.
Elma laid across his lap as he shook his head, all too familiar as he looked at her, interested more and more in her antics and what it should have been like… Still? he tilted his head, prepared purely to have seen it to the end, it was clear more and more that she teased him, and he… Well, it was something he allowed, smirking as it came down to it.
They had begun closer and closer and yet? Arthur sighed and brought her in for a hug. She welcomed it and smirked at him, all too interested as she nuzzled into him which only served to make him roll his eyes, happy that she had managed to have relaxed to such a degree. It was clear more and more. Perhaps she was owed something or perhaps he had just wished to have gotten this all done and dusted.
It'd not have been the first time in his mind that this had all gone horrid and horrid still.
She looked around, all too confused at the time. It hadn't yet cleared his mind and he had doubted it would end anytime soon. They had a lot of odd little details to discuss and it seemed as if they'd find no real time to have discussed it.
He still loved Elma and it was clear he had gotten the chance to be around her for now. It wasn't something he'd forget sooner or later.
Elma yawned, her tail swishing back and forth around before she tilted her head. She sighed and leaned backward, looking at her mate. It was honestly funny to Arthur that she was constantly finding ways to have made him laugh.
He'd find some merit in that if nothing else. If nothing else? He'd be able to have laughed harder and harder, it was honestly funny if not mirthful if not even a little tired and curious, he had more to have pondered and more to have done.
Arthur sighed and leaned backward, wrapping his hands around his mate who slumbered next to him. if nothing else? He had to be entirely ready for whatever was thrown at him at this very second. They had a lot more to have focused on and they were utterly bewildered by it all, utterly unsure of themselves at the end of the day and so unsure of what to do next.
This was a lot weirder to him odder and odder still if he was to be utterly sure for now what she'd throw at him.
Life had a way of continuing to throw more and more as he looked around, utterly tiresome at the end of the day, utterly unsure of what to do next before it came down to it.
Arthur was a lot worse, utterly exhausted more and more, and yet? He didn't at all prepare for the idea of not being ready, he didn't want to admit he was all too uncertain at the end of the day.
"Are you ok? There's a lot more I can try and learn from you, you know, a lot more. I don't even want to try and understand it, but I do know you're a lot more tired than you were before and I do know you're ready to try and ask me something else." Arthur asked as he lay down on one end of the couch.
Elma slowly yet surely lay down at the other end of the couch, her feet brushing against his as the two dragons shared a look.
"I don't know what to tell you, I'm very tired and very scared," Elma said before she glanced at the floor.
"Of me or what happened?" Arthur asked an eyebrow raised to try and fight what he felt.
"I don't know," Elma stated before she frowned.
"And you'd know if you weren't scared?" Arthur asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't know that either… All I know is I like being around you, you're making me happy to be here, I feel safe around you and I enjoy it at the end of the day." Elma stated before he looked at her.
He didn't know what to say as he felt happy around her, secure more and more as if they were spinning in a void and he was alone to try and enjoy the time he spent around her and he knew that it was mutual.
Still? He was scared to admit it, not just because he was scared of what was coming and what was going on. it was not something he was used to being in a position such as this.
Then again? Harmony Dragons still did not at all care about this and he did not want to find it to be like they did. They cared nothing about love, seeing it only a few seconds before one can truly relax.
He just hoped it wasn't fear that drove her as he knew more and more and more that it was a lot more interesting, fascinated more and more by it all. He seemed to think more and more at the end of the day, fascinated by his feelings as he seemed to look around.
Still? He didn't at all know what to do next and was utterly baffled more and more.
He didn't at all know what to say and figure out, for now, something that he could prepare to relax what to figure out as now.
He didn't know what to figure out as of the time being, a desire he didn't at all know what to say or do next at the time being. he didn't at all know for the time being.
All of it seemed to be something that he couldn't at all relax once more over and over and over and over. He didn't at all know what to try and figure out as he hummed and looked at her, cracking his figures.
"Are you going to be able to relax?" Elma asked before she seemed to be able to try and think as he hummed and smacked his fingers.
What he did do next? It wasn't something that he could and wouldn't allow himself to do, she reached out her hands and grabbed his own as she hummed, seeming to tire once more.
He didn't at all know what to say and do next. He rubbed at his eyes as she did so. There was a lot more on his mind as she seemed to be able to figure it all out as of now.
"Are you ok?" Elma asked as he nodded and looked down at the ground.
"Yes, there's a lot more on my mind and I don't know what to say for now considering it hurts my brain to think," Arthur said as he sighed, distracted more and more by a desire to be beyond what he was.
"I'm well aware, I just don't want to think at the moment, I feel like it's going to break my brain in half if I do," Elma said to which he could say or do nothing about it.
He knew she had her reasons as did he. There was more to it all than she wished to show and she gripped and pulled him to her as he did so, looking down at the ground.
She smiled at him as she nuzzled against him, unsure and unable to relax once more, a desire that didn't die at all.
"We need to be able to get over sooner or later," Elma said as she rubbed her eyes once more.
She didn't at all know what to figure out, clicking her tongue against the roof of her mouth, unsure of what to deal with at the moment as she cracked her fingers and looked down at the roof.
"We need to be able to relax before anything when it comes down to it. I'm not able to relax at the moment, something that's kinda bugging me more and more with each second as of this moment." Arthur said before he flicked his tail.
There was more on the moment that he couldn't relax once more as he seemed to be able to try and figure it out once more so as he seemed to be able to deal with it all again and again.
She was a very unreadable woman, one who had driven him up a wall again and again yet? She was highly and entirely devoted to her craft, to everything about it, again and again, amused him.
Had she figured him out for now? Unwilling to do much for now other than hope and pray? She had been willing to do more than he had to quell it and he was but a simple soldier, a simple warrior too bemused to do much more than fight, to see it end properly.
They were so going to be walking into war like this before now, again, and again as now. What had they been missing? What had been held in place so long it would provide the answers they sought? It didn't at all spell good things for anyone or anything for now.
Oh, did they have a lot more to discuss than usual, a LOT more to discuss, and something not even he would be able to argue as he hummed, unwilling to see it end so soon and yet so willing to do something about it all again and again for now.
It would not do at all, not even a little as she kicked her feet up on the sofa, wiggling her toes at the sky, it had been a while since she had been able to relax, to cut loose like this.
This was nice as she laid her head atop his stomach, unsure of everything that could and would need to be done to complete it. She felt like she had eaten more and more food than before, that she had eaten her fill.
She didn't even know for now what was being done to fix it. Had he understood what was to be accomplished for the moment?
"You know we have a lot of work to try and figure out for the time being. That will make it harder and harder to handle, for now, that dragon is going to be a problem for us, for the people on earth, for everyone… I doubt that friend of yours is going to help deal with it anytime soon." Arthur said before he sighed and looked down.
He didn't know her, didn't know what she was like, didn't grasp it any more than anyone else. The ideas going through the mind weren't at a moment tired for now.
He was ready for now what to see and do for now. She clasped him to her and she hummed before now, eager to figure once more, eager to try and understand when it came down to it as of the moment.
She was divided for now on the best option. It was odd, so very odd to the point where he would scream if he had to… Such things like this only served to bother him as he yawned and felt her tail tickle her legs.
There was a massive crash, saving the duo from the awkwardness that the situation had caused and reminding them just what was to happen next for now.
It was too odd, much too odd for her to say something about it while she still had time to figure it all out at the end of the day when push came to shove it to the ground, something that could be able to relax.
He had little to nothing when it came down to it as he hummed more and more and more, he would relax once more and more.
She just wasn't going to be able to relax more and more with each passing moment. He would not be able to relax again and again, knowing that such problems would be beyond it all as he clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth.
He had a lot more issues to try and deal with more and more. He hummed as Arthur seemed to be relaxing more and more, watching as Elma sighed before she looked to the side, utterly able to tire himself.
"You should know more and more what the problem is going to be with blending in. We have a lot more problems to try and figure out… Something that will keep growing… I don't even know what will happen if it doesn't work out for the best." Arthur stated before he sighed.
Arthur didn't at all know what is going to happen for now, he had little to nothing resembling a plan for dealing with it all for now, something that would be dealt with it all for the time being. This all didn't end the way it should have, not when it could be able to be dealt with for now.
Yet? Elma was all the more relaxed more and more, unsure of what to try and deal with for now, something that could be dealt with again and again. it doesn't die and it doesn't end, for now, such problems would be dealt with.
They had far too much to try and deal with for this to die out the same way for now and for good at the end of the day.
And it bothered him, it bothered him a LOT more than it was possible to be dealt with, knowing what would come as a result of it all.
There was nothing to do, something that could be dealt with for now as it came down to it at the same time.
Author Note
Phew. Another chapter is done! I want to point out that the next chapter will be 2-10 months and will be 900-6500 words and will show more about Arthur and Elma hanging out. Until the next chapter, Lighting Wolf is out!
