<font color='#ADA96E'>Blasts up off the pillar causing it to bust under Dreed's weight. Spreads his huge wings and dive bombs the chuchip into a roll. The beast fought back for a few seconds before Dreed riped it's throat out with one massive swing of his claws. Gets up licking blood of his paw slowly, after finishing with is paw he bites down on the small of the chuchip's back and picks it up in his jaws. Carries the corpse over to the fallen ice pillar and drops it. Looks up to Pen and smirks. "Care to join me...I mean there be more then I could handle?!"</font>
<font color='698AAB'>Pen chuckles, "Don't mind if I do! Go 'head and take what ye like; I'll have the leftovers. Hunter's rights." He swirls lazily down to the ground, and lands gracefully, not too far away, and prance-trots the rest of the way over to Dreed.</font>
<font color='#ADA96E'>Smirks and leans his head down from looking at Pen. Opens his massive jaws and sinks them into the flesh of the beast, ripping and tearing at it's soft, juicy hide. Draws back a large pick of flesh and downs it in one glup, goes in for another bite and continues this process for awhile. Comes to a stop with feasting on the beast and draws back slowly from it. Smirks and licks a bit of blood from his lips. "Go ahead...eat up!" Laughs and looks to him, "I left you the best part, the heart." Sits down and licks his lips still of the blood, picks a bit of flesh from his teeth.</font>
<font color='698AAB'>Pen nods gratefully, "Thank ya, muchly!" Flying was hungry work, and so he chows down, with the same hunger-driven tenacity as Dreed had done. Chewing and swallowing the heart that was offered, Pen moves to take a bit more of the rest. Fur was swept away with a paw as he takes bites of the muscles of the deceased creature. Between bites, he licks the blood off his muzzle; not caring to be incredibly untidy. Meal finished, he looks around, then back to Dreed, "Any idea where a stream or river is, 'round here? I wasn't really looking for one, before."</font>
<font color='#ADA96E'>Laughs and nods slowly. Stands up and spreads his massive wings to full length. Blasts up off the ground in one flap and hover 100's of feet over Pen. "Comeon! I know of a waterhole!" Waits as the 'dragon finishes feasting.</font>
<font color='698AAB'>Pen licks his chops one last time, leaving the rest to whatever else came along scavenging. He kicks off the ground, flapping his feathered wings for a bit. Strong chest and wing muscles were finely toned, so flapping them quickly enough to level off with Dreed wasn't any problem. Pen nods and bow mid-air, in an 'after you' type of way, "Lead on, m' good sah!" \\ OOC: to any who're reading & confused; sah = sir in his accented drawl ;)</font>
<font color='#ADA96E'>Laughs once more and flies off to the West, smells the air as he goes. Looks out at the ground as he scents the air. Notices a flicker of water near the ground. Folds her wings in and dives down to the ground at the shine. "Found it!"</font>
<font color='698AAB'>Pen nods and swoops down, laughing quite happily as he does so, going into a free-fall dive half-way down, still following Dreed, for the moment.</font>
<font color='#ADA96E'>Throws out his massive wings and halts to a stop as he notices the glassy surface of the water. Stops inches from it, disturbing the water barely. Hovers over the waterhole tapping it with his tail. Looks over his shoulder at a cave then back up to Pen. Nods to him and calls him down with a wave of his paw.</font>
<font color='698AAB'>Pen nods and continues his dive, stopping short on the bank of the water. Landing gently, and running a few steps as he slows to a stop, Penumbra turns and looks at the water, bending his head down to drink, "Wonder how deep it goes?" He takes a few sips of the clear water, then pauses a moment, and grins devilishly, "Well, one way to find out, eh?!" Pen backs up a few steps, then takes a running leap into the water. Ended up it was deep enough for him to disappear in, and come up a moment later, his hair wet and matted to his face. And yes, he was still grinning like a fool. Who knows if he ended up splashing poor Dreed with his goofy antics?</font>
<font color='#ADA96E'>Laughs and drops dwon into the water as well causes a splash of his own. The flame at the end of his tail goes under with everything else. Comes back up and shoots water up in the air like a fountain. Gets up on his back and kicks his rear legs as he floats on his back and wings, relaxes on the surface moving about in the water.</font>
<font color='698AAB'>Pen swims about, diving and all around acting like a nioti, his white tail flame brighter than ever - water wouldn't hurt his mood, so why would it hurt the magical tip to his tail? He shakes his head from being rather water-logged, currently the only thing out of the water, and grins "So, where you be 'eaded after t'day?"</font>
<font color='#ADA96E'>"After 'oday?" Thinks to himself for a moment and sighs softly as he continues to kick his legs. "De Manik Swamps...", Turns over and dives into the water. Goes down to the bottom and growls, opens his mouth and releases the blue beam once again. Large air bubbles come to the surface of the water then a huge ice pillar following with Dreed standing on top of it.</font>
<font color='698AAB'>Pen watches him, and chuckles, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"You like ice magic, don'cha?"</span> He grins happily and paddles about, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"Why're you goin' to Manik swamps? Awful place, I think. Been there before, y'see. Not exactly a vacational spot, if'n y' ask me!"</span> he laughs jovially as he remembers the stink and the nasty creatures there.</font>
<font color='#ADA96E'>"I have my reasons...forgive me for no' saying." Shakes water from his fur and folds his wings back. Lies down on the pillar and looks down at Pen as he paddles about in the water. "So...what about yo', are yo' going to do anythin' special?"</font>
<font color='698AAB'>He nods, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"Fair 'nough, I c'n certainly respect yer privacy."</span> Penumbra grins, closing his eyes as he slides up on the bank, resting his head, neck, and upper check on the drier land. <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"Nothin' much. Just fooling around 'til I have to go teach. I'll be teachin' astronomy and aerobatics, if ya c'n imagine that!"</span> he laughs. Pen wasn't the type to be your typical teacher, and he knew it as well as anyone else.</font>
<font color='#ADA96E'>"Wow...I don't see how anyone can deal with those snottie cubs." Looks up at the sky and wanders about the past that he once serviced in the prison, images of 'dragons younger then him being abused and beaten. Looks back down at Pen and glares slightly at him. "So...is it a difficult task, this teaching?"</font>
<font color='698AAB'>Pen bobs his head a couple times with an expression of indescision, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"Nyaah, I 'spose it's alright. Just gotta have some patience. If they're there to learn, then they'll learn, if not, they won't."</span> He grins, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"Some of 'em go to sleep, or fling things at ya. But, there are also the ones who listen with rapt attention. Those're usually the ones who're gonna turn out to be somethin' in that trade. The rest are just required to have a basic knowledge, so they don't care a smidge."</span> Penumbra laughs, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"So's I go in, and just have fun, teach what I need to, and hope they stay awake long enough to absorb some o' my knowledge!"</span></font>
<font color='#ADA96E'>Smirks and shakes his head slowly, looks back out over the treetops from where he lies. Licks his lips and sniffs the air slowly. Notices a scent of another 'dragon off in the distance. "Interesting to hear that some of them really care to learn about trades other then doing what I did to get mi...I mean the same as any other 'dragon."</font>
<font color='698AAB'>Pen winks, catching his little slip, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"Ya don't think I actually paid any attention in school when I was a nioti, do ya?"</span> He laughs, <span style='color:#A6C0CE'>"I'm rather a sharp aim at tossing things at the back of 'dragon's 'eads, I can tell ya that!"</span> he gets an over-confident smile and all around pose: but he was just messing around, he didn't really think he was all that great. Penumbra wasn't really paying attention to what smells the wind brought, however, in al his goofing about. After all, he was no expert hunter, rather a daredevil astronomer.</font>
