Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Water and Earth. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own DM, Coolkyoushinja and a few others do.
(Field near Arthur's house, Tuesdays, January 20th, 9:30PM.)
Elma flipped into the water while Arthur blasted flames at her, scorching the grass.
"Hmm, hiding in the ocean isn't going to do you much good…" He muttered while he walked closer to the ocean in his dragon form.
He started to look through the moonlit water before a smirking dragon form Elma exploded out of the water before grasping his neck with her tail and dragging him into the water.
He gasped in shock before he slammed into the water, Elma laughed while Arthur blinked and looked at her with confusion.
"I honestly didn't think you'd sneak attack me from the water. I really didn't expect that…" He said, he chuckled with amusement and looked at Elma with amusement.
"You need to learn to take me more seriously." Elma said, Arthur turned to her and tried to flap his wings only for a wave of water to come from them instead.
"You just made sure I have to walk home instead of fly… So, there's that, Em. I'm going to get out of the water, I don't swim that well. I'm built for the land…. It's kind of in the name." He muttered before he slowly dragged his bulk out of the water.
He hummed before shaking himself off like a dog. He looked at the smirking Elma who he splashed with water by slamming his tail into the water. He laughed at the soaked dragon as she growled and lunged at him. Arthur leapt back and crawled up the hill.
"I think we should start going home, I'm going to have to go to work tomorrow, Em. We have to also go talk with Tohru and them tomorrow." He stated, he hummed again while flexing his wings, clearly trying to get them ready to fly while he looked at Elma and sighed.
"You know it's going to be pretty hard to fly at the moment… We have a few minutes or so to talk… I have no real idea what to bring up at the moment." Arthur said, he sat down and wrapped his tail around him before breathing a bit of fire in front of him.
He was trying to keep warm at the moment, unsure of what to talk about. He looked at Elma who slithered closer to him while she rested her head on the ground in front of him.
"You're the one who usually says I don't think a lot, you don't have anything to say at the moment?" Elma asked, amusement in her voice.
"I don't because I don't really don't know what to say, Em…. Your smug because you got me into the water, aren't you?" He asked, Elma chuckled with Arthur sighed and looked into the sky with slight annoyance and then he waved his hand back and forth.
"You know that if we ever go back, you're going to get questioned over and all that. Elma, you are one of the dragons who happen to have a lot of fame and honor back home," Arthur said. He slowly flapped his wings, trying to get into the air.
He was able to get a few feet in the air while he sighed.
"You have a knack for making me unable to do anything but wait on you, Em. You know how much food I have to go through at the moment? You sure do love food, don't you?" He asked, Elma huffed and puffed out her chest with pride.
"I enjoy food, ok? You're the one who does nothing but treat me like a queen… It's like you like me or something, you always get mad when someone messes with me, you always get food when I need it. I've seen you sleep over and over and over in the living room next to me. You like me, don't you?" Elma questioned, pointing her tail at Arthur.
"I like you because your fun, you're the only snarky dragon I've seen that likes to mess with me. You cheer me up when I get sad. I… Who the hell cares if I like you? Your living with me, I don't have to do that!" He said, Elma smirked while Arthur sighed.
"I blame you for making me like this, Em… I'm going the hell home. You want to catch up, you do that. I'm… I'll take you somewhere to eat tomorrow, just stop with the stupid questions unless their focused on something like fighting that evil dragon. I don't need you distracted, I'm less magically powerful then you think," He said before he tried to flap his wings again and lifted himself into the air before he turned.
He looked at Elma again before he blasted off into the sky, soaring towards his home and leaving Elma to smile and slowly follow him. Elma could only wonder what would be next.
Author Note
