As morning comes, Sraithe awakens first. Yawning and stretching, she manages to squirm out from under Terix' arm and clamber up onto his shoulder. She taps his face with a claw, waking him with a start. "Gah!"
..? Sraithe roosters her head to the side, confused. I was sleeping, little one... much like you were a few moments ago, Terix informs the dragonet. Simple understanding radiates back through the link as Sraithe clambers off him, allowing him to get up. He scoops her up into his arms and the two leave their room.
After a quick stop at the kitchens for breakfast, they make their way down the halls until they pass Aleu's room. "I wonder how Claire is doing..." Terix mutters. Sraithe squeaks up at him; he repeats the question mentally. The dragonet decides to find out for herself.
(To Terix' protest) she launches herself into the air, gliding into Aleu's room and landing at Aleu's feet, where she is almost immediately scooped back up again. Don't do that! ...you scared me... Terix chides the confused dragonet. You could've gotten stepped on, or lost...
"...morning," Terix greets Aleu, still hugging Sraithe tight as visions of trampled lizards haunt his mind. "Sleep well?"

Aleu let Claire perch on her index finger, cuddling the tiny thing happily. "Fine. Claire squeaked at me and woke me up in the middle of the night, but other than that, fine." She sighed. "I wish she could talk. I've tried to talk to her, but she just ignores me. How about Sraithe? Oh. She hatched! Congrats!"

"Thanks. I think the aide person said they learn to talk later on. Sraithe can't talk either, but she can communicate emotions through our mindlink. ...that's about it." Sraithe squirms in his arms; he loosens his hold slightly. She clambers her way out of his hold and up to the top of his head, where she watches Claire with wide eyes.
"Apparently, she's never seen a dragonbird before..." Terix says softly, trying not to move his head too much. "...understandable, since she only hatched last night..."

Aleu looked at Sraithe with a curious expression. "That's a Behemoth isn't it? Mm. I can't even feel her mind. Well, except for... now." A pang of hunger came through the mental connection, making Aleu cring. "She's hungry."
(Bai! Off to 4th period!)

«Later, Aleu.»
"The lady said she was a Bahamut, not a Behemoth... and I thought I fed you, little one. Oh well. Let's go get you some munchies."
Terix carries the dragonet into the kitchens, where he lets her pick out her second breakfast. Several small slabs of meat (and one lighter wallet) later, a slightly more full Sraithe accompanies him out of the kitchens and into the living room. Guess I just didn't feed you enough the first time... I'm sorry, little one.
Terix sets the dragonet down in the play area, watching her romp and explore the room. She seems curious enough, he muses as the dragon toys with a TV antenna. Quickly tiring, Sraithe glides over to land in his lap, looking up at him questioningly.
I'm sure the others will awaken soon enough, he tells the baby dragon. They just slept a little later than you and I did. For now, feel like playing a game? The two spend the morning playing some simple games.

Aleu look Claire downstairs for breakfast, the little dragon bird had just woken up and was ready for breakfast.
"So what do you eat little guy? Hmm? Seed or meat, you're a dragon and a bird. Where's Renoun?"

"There are birds that eat meat too, Aleu..." Terix calls as she passes the living room. Oh well.
Meanwhile, Sraithe had curled up in his lap, worn out from the games. Aww... she's cute when she's asleep...

Aleu shrugged. "Maybe he's right? What do you think?"
"Kweh!"
"I thought so. Come on." Claire nibbled animately at the small chunks of meat, making Aleu smile. "Don't eat too fast." Calire gave her a baleful stare, and swalled a chunk of meat in one go. "Yipe." Claire began to choke and Aleu got her some water while patting her back.
Claire hacked one last time, shook her head, and kept eating. "Silly birdie."

*Kalphin runs in to the kitchen, Chelin in arms* "Time for some munchies Chelin! What do you want, theres some meat, some seeds, and some weird stuff that looks like peanut butter. Hmm... Here, I'll sprinkle some seeds on the meat for you" ^_^ Chelin happily nibbles the meat. "Yay! I'm the master chef!"

Renoun dashed to Aleu with a four books under her arm "OMYGOSH! Itotallyforgotabouthispleasedon'tbemadatmeIhateitwhenpeoplegetmadatmesoooosorryhereyagoitsforyourlittledragonbird!" She handed her one of the books ('Easy ABCs'). She then turned to Kalphin and handed him another 'Easy ABCs' ",By the way, Dragon Birds eat all the things human do. Meat, wheat, fish, pizza, icecream, ect." She then ran off to the play room and handed the secound to last 'Easy ABCs' to Terix ",vwoot, ent she cute!" She then scampered off to give the last copy of 'Easy ABCs' to Traight and to check up on Arynielle (I'm not ignoring you.), Kriven, and Presea.

"'Easy ABCs', huh..." Feel like learning to read, Sraithe? he asks the dragonet. She perks up at the idea of something new. Ok then, let's start with 'a'...

Aleu stared at the book for a full minute, then shrugged. She set Claire into a sitting position and found a miniture chalkboard, chalk, and eraser. "Okay then, the first letter is A." Aleu drew a capital A on the board and a lowercase a. "Each letter has two different shapes, big and little."
"Kweh!"
"Very good! The next letter is B." She again drew the corresponding letters.
"Kweh!"

Ari's eyes flutter opened, as she awoke in bed. Yawning, she reached over and tapped the egg a few times. You should be hatching soon...

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooood Moooooooooorning Ari!!!!" Aleu poked her head through the door. "Did I wake you?" she asked, holding Claire. Stopping the alphabet lessons at "E" for the morning, Aleu had decided to pay a visit to Ari.
