If there was one thing that MADE Arthur amused every single day? It was the sheer fact that he constantly had to question how she consumed so much. Most dragons didn't consume this amount of food.
"I would have made more food, but it isn't like we had plenty in the fridge," Arthur said as he watched Elma slice a pancake in half. "Em? Is there ANY type of food that you enjoy? Because I can't imagine that there is with how you're eating that much food." Arthur added before he shook his head.
He was quite curious as to what the Order Dragon was up to. Arthur was no longer part of the conflict, nor did he want any part of the war to begin with. Arthur was hopeful Elma didn't want anything to do with it either. This war was something that had made them fall from their values.
"No, not really," Elma said which caused Arthur to nod. "Why did you make so much? All your touching is that bacon and pancakes." Elma stated as Arthur shrugged.
"Because I'm not as hungry as I told you I was. There's not a lot of foods I like when I think about it." Arthur stated with a shrug "I don't know why, maybe I just don't make more. It isn't like I make food for 2 dragons, Em." Arthur stated before he shook his head, unsure of what to say or do.
Elma sighed and hummed to herself which came down to it. She knew Arthur wasn't mad at her. It wasn't like they had a bad history between the two dragons, although she felt like there was. There were a few details when it comes down to it.
"Do you want to point out something?" Arthur asked as he hummed to himself. "I do hear I make a damn good pancake. It's just sad I have plenty of work time and plenty of paperwork means I can't stay here." Arthur said before he put a hand to his temples.
"Hmm," Elma stated as she shook her head. "And yet your home so often?" Elma questioned before she leaned back in her seat.
Arthur hummed to himself as he raised an eyebrow. He knew for a fact that Elma was still a bit emotional. Arthur was happy that Elma was busy working on her feelings. It was something that HE should have dealt with it sooner. There were plenty of details for them to talk over, but neither seemed to want to try it like this.
"Are you ok?" Arthur questioned as he drummed his fingers on the counter. "You've not talked a lot at the moment. There was plenty of heavy stuff yesterday." Arthur stated before he placed another piece of pancake in his mouth.
Arthur watched Elma straighten up. She was curious about what to say next. She looked at him with quite a far more interesting look. He didn't know what to say next.
"Yeah," Elma stated to which she hummed and nodded. "I am, do you mean the uh…?" Elma added before she leaned back in her chair.
"No, I didn't," Arthur said while he scratched at his neck. "I mean… Kinda part of what it is." Arthur added before he shook his head.
"Do you want something to happen?" Elma asked, her tail swishing back and forth. "I mean…" Elma stated while she crossed her arms over her chest.
"This is awkward," Arthur stated while scratching at the back of this. "Yeah, do you?" Arthur put in as he hummed to himself.
"Yeah, but we should talk about it more," Elma stated while she turned back to her food. "When do you have work, exactly?" Elma questioned before she clicked her fingers together.
"I don't today, remember? You asked if we could do something at the moment." Arthur stated before he slowly sat up to start getting dressed once more. "I'll be in my room if you need me. I'll come and get you when you're ready and all that." Arthur put in before he clicked his jaws together.
If it was so easy to deal with your feelings? He'd have done it before. Now? He was just sifting through all of it slowly. Arthur cleared his throat while he looked at his friend.
'Why does life have to be so weird? I wish it wasn't this way, I wish it was easier when it came down to it.' Arthur thought before he shook his head and started to think of what to say.
Elma sighed to herself as she started to realize there was going to be an issue when they talked again. She hated the rather annoying tension between the duo.
"Any plans for after this is done?" Elma asked himself as she slowly stood up from the table.
"Not at the moment, no," Arthur stated in return before he cleared his throat and started to slowly stand up. "Not besides what I told you. I'm not looking forward to work, though. It's the most annoying thing in the world at the end of the day. I don't know why I go in at some times." Arthur added to himself more than her.
Elma nodded and cleared her throat before she slowly started towards the living room. This place was somewhat like a castle in its way which meant that Arthur was its master…. And here she was constantly causing more issues than it was worth.
He said nothing while he slowly crossed his arms and rolled them. If today became as weird as it seemed to be before? Then Arthur wondered if they'd be on talking terms for a while.
Still? He wasn't going to be just sitting here and waiting for something to happen. He had work to do either way and sitting here would serve no real purpose.
"I might sleep for a bit of time at the moment," Elma stated while she tapped her fingers on the table. "I don't know if I'll be up later if that's ok with you. I do somewhat have a question right." Elma added to which the earth dragon nodded to himself.
He shrugged and slowly went to go to his room. It wasn't like there was a lot to do besides the little work that he had. Arthur let out a yawn as he dragged himself across the house.
"Ok, I'll be in my room if you need me. I have some stuff to do before anything else happens." Arthur stated before he cracked his fingers.
The water dragon watched her friend who vanished into another room like a serpent. It was entirely throwing her off. Then again? TODAY was throwing her off entirely by how random it was.
"Today is going to be so annoying," Arthur stated to himself while he raised an eyebrow. "I'm such a damn idiot," Arthur said before he rolled his eyes himself and simply started to ponder what to do next. there was so much wrong with this as he sighed to himself.
He was rather interested in how to plan this. He was far more interested in how to best handle it. There were plenty of problems with what to do next. He was far more interested in what to do next. He was perhaps to ponder what to do next.
He was honestly perhaps too ready to handle his soldiers while he frowned as he cleared his throat. He was perhaps interested in what to do next. He had to plan what to do as he cleared his throat before he was interested in how to do this.
He was rather interested in these tactics while he slowly tapped on his hands. He was not to do anything without pondering all the ways to properly mend it. There was far too little on his plate and far too much was to be done to mend the disarray and flaws within his plans.
He stared ahead and seemed to sigh as he realized there was little left to do. If he was honestly one to do so? He'd probably confront Elma about the tactics he defied.
He hummed to himself before he sighed to himself before he gladly started to pace towards where Elma was. She had to understand what he needed to do. There was a lot more on his plate than it seemed he needed. He had honestly wished to speak to her before something bad happened. He needed to be more open with how he had felt as of now. He had a few ideas on how to handle that.
Arthur sighed before he placed his hands on his hips and sighed to himself. He had far too little on the end of the road. now he simply needed time to plan what to do next before this ended as of now. He wasn't once going to be prepared for this type of thing.
Then again? He hadn't been ready to do more work to do as of now. There was a lot to handle before he planned what to do next. He needed a lot more to do at the end of the day and anything that he wished to do. He was rather interested in how to end this. He was rather interested in this despite the fact he was done and dusted.
This was honestly perhaps when it came down to it. He smiled to himself before he glanced around to do what came down to it. He was rather interested in what the other dragon had been up to.
He sniffed at the air before he glanced around while he frowned to himself. There were a few people in here who forced him to handle it as of now. Elma wasn't at all the type of dragon who seemed to ignore these problems as the next time meant more on her plate… And it wasn't to
He slammed into the wall with annoyance before he glanced around before deciding to simply deal with it now. He hadn't the faintest idea how to handle this properly. He wished for it to end when it came down to it. He wasn't once to end this properly. He wasn't at all of what to do next.
He ended the operation as he slowly started to step towards the rest of his home. He glanced around with an interest that wasn't at all equal to anyone or anything as of now. He nodded to himself with a sigh.
"Elma?" Arthur questioned before he raised an eyebrow. "We should talk. There's still some stuff to do. We need to talk." Arthur said before he nodded to himself and glanced around.
"Ok." Arthur heard from Elma as she slowly started to step towards her. "This will end one way or another either way. We also need food when it comes down to it." Elma said while she tapped on the wall.
He tapped on the walls before glancing at the dragon with interest. She stood on her tiptoes and stared into his eyes which made him ponder what was on her mind. She was scared and it made him ponder what to do.
Arthur smiled at the dragon with interest. There was so much on their minds that needed to handle.
This was a lot funnier than he expected before the terror started to slowly sink into them for the moment.
Author Note
