As the two of them landed on the Beach of Skull, Incara took out a Pathfinder. A few seconds later, a beam of purple light appeared, going east. "Come on, Stormling we're going east," he said as he started walking. Thunderstrike followed, close behind, as he changed to his human form, took out a journal and pencil and started sketching in it. Incara was pretty easy to keep up with as a human since adult Life dragons were about the size of a large computer monitor.

Ten minutes later...

Thunder had just finished the base of a dragon and he started sketching the details. "Stormling, what are you doing?" Incara asked, curious about what Thunder was doing in the journal.

"Hmm? Oh, I'm just doodling, nothing special," Thunder replied as he took out a pen to start on the outlines.

"May I see what you're doodling?"

"Okay," Thunderstrike said absentmindedly. Incara backed up to walk alongside Thunder, as he shifted to his human form to see the sketch better, and saw a picture of himself. Incara blushed slightly, as the drawing had captured his personality perfectly.

(cringe)How does he draw so well?! I've been watching him everyday for five months, and not once have I seen him draw! And yet, he can draw pictures that are so lifelike after only a day of studying the subject!? Maybe he's known you've been watching you since the second month? Maybe he's been drawing while you were asleep. I've been watching nonstop, without sleeping, and I saw him see you while you were sleeping 4 months ago. The next time you were asleep, he studied you for an hour and then started drawing you. I got to say, it was a pretty amazing sight, watching him draw you sleeping. So you mean to say that this little Storm dragon has been lowkey stalking me. Yeah, pretty much. You have been doing the same thing to him though. "In...ra?" ......... Uhh... Incara? ......... "Inc...a." ...Incara? ......... Are you just going to keep ignoring me? "In...ara." ......... .........I give up. "Incara!"

"Huh?!"

"I've been trying to get your attention for the last three minutes! What were you doing?!" Thunder cried, clearly upset about something.

"I was...talking to a...friend. Yeah, a...friend." Incara said.

"...If you say so..." Thunder said, clearly not believing him. Incara looked over to Thunderstrike, and saw that he finished doing the outline and had started coloring the drawing. It was beautiful, with the colors blending together perfectly and some basic shading done very well.

"Incara?"

"Yeah?"

"Why are you staring at me...?"

"...Let's just keep going..." Incara said, trying to change the subject. He then used the Pathfinder again to check if they were still going in the correct direction.

One hour later...

"Stormling, could you break this wall down?" Incara asked, getting out a Compass. Thunderstrike then got to work, trying to destroy the wall of rocks(Thunder is now a dragon and Incara is still human). Incara, on the other hand, was creating a "Magic Eraser". He glanced over at Thunder, blushing slightly.

Dammit. Why does he have to be so cute! Incara, don't you start simping for Thunderstrike now. I can't help it if I like him, Quetzal.

At the time of this conversation, Thunderstrike had gotten rid of a tenth of the wall. After clearing away the rubble, he glanced over at his companion to find him blanked out again. "*sigh* Incara?" Thunderstrike asked.

Thunder, I'm pretty sure that he's talking to someone like me. So, some annoying dude that lives in a random person's head? Thunderstrike! What? I am annoying?! Yes, you are annoying! You are always bugging me and annoy me to death. I am offended(acts hurt). Stop pretending like you care about my opinion. Yeah, yeah, you should focus on the task Incara gave you now.

Thunderstrike zoned back into the real world and started to work on breaking down the wall again. At this point, Incara had finished his conversation with Quetzal and zoned back into the real world. He went back to working on enchanting items after taking one final glance at Thunderstrike.

Thirty minutes later...

"Incara! I'm done with the wall!" Thunder called out as he cleaned up the rubble. After looking over at him, Incara came over with about 40 magic items in his hands. "...What do we need 40 magic items for...?"

"...I honestly don't know. I guess I was just bored and wasn't paying attention, so I made 40..." Incara replied, blushing out of embarrassment. He looked away and walked closer, putting all the items on the ground as he did(Thunder is now human). Thunderstrike stared in silence as Incara came closer and closer. He looked up at Thunder(Thunder is about 6'2'' in human/half form, while Incara is about 5'7''), smiled, and said, "You look better when you smile, Stormling."

"Eh-" Thunderstrike managed to get out before Incara pecked his cheek, surprising him. "W-what did you do t-that for?!" he stuttered, going slightly pink. Incara giggled, but didn't say anything, and left(obviously he went to pick up the items he set down on the ground before leaving). Thunderstrike stood there in shock for a few moments before shaking his head and running to catch up.

The two of them walked through the cave for what felt like hours(but really was only 20 something minutes-) before Incara slowed to a stop. Thunder was lost in his thoughts and wasn't paying attention and just kept walking(they were walking side by side). Incara noticed that Thunderstrike was still walking forward absentmindedly and grabbed his shirt before he walked off the cliff. At the sudden jerk on his shirt, Thunderstrike snapped back to reality and realized that he almost fell to his death.

"Thank you, Incara," he said, gently pulling Incara into a hug. Incara jumped at the sudden action, but slowly hugged back.

Incara pulled away after a few seconds and said, "So, why weren't you paying attention to your surroundings?" Thunder immediately flinched and turned pink. I can't say that I was thinking about him, he will get the wrong idea! Ohh~ So little Thunder has a crush on Incara~ Shut up, you! Not going to finish that sentence? ...Shut up, you imbecile! Little Thunderstrike can't think of original insults then? You are a pain in the ass.

"...Thunderstrike...?" Incara asked, concerned that he wasn't answering. Thunderstrike, still lost in the conversation he was having with Yarin, didn't move nor did he show any sign that he heard Incara at all. Hey, it looks like your little boyfriend is trying to get your attention~ (blushes) H-HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND! Yeah, sure.

"Y-yeah, Incara...?" Thunderstrike said nervously.

"Are you going to answer my question...?" Incara questioned.

"Oh! Um..." Thunder trailed off. WHAT DO I SAY?!?! TwT "Well...I was kinda...thinking about you..." he mumbled the last bit.

"What?"

"N-Nothing!"

"Okay then..." And the two of them continued in silence.
