  Nox rolled his eyes, but took the offered hand. "Fine, m'lord but how about you head out first, Hm?" The Fire Lord grinned, opening the door for Lord Winter. "Bye Chase!" he said, with a wave. Ignis slowly stirred, waking groggily when the got close to the active volcano. Blinking he slowly took in the facts that a)he was still in human for and without clothing b)Markas was holding him in his arms while sprouting two big dragon wings which kind of made him look like a bad-a** angel and c)GOD he wanted to jump in that lava! Blinking with growing consciousness, Ignis smiled, then got a thoughtful look. "Hey ... when'd we leave?" he pondered aloud, seeing as he didn't really remember leaving Markas's bed.

WINTER
The Elf laughed and waved to his brother, not bothering to rush Nox anymore since the murderer was no longer after them. "Aw... You two are kinda cute," he said. "I thought you said you two weren't an item."
MARKAS
"'Bout an hour ago," Markas answered as he circled around the island. "You passed out and I got a little worried when you're temperature dropped, so I figured I would fly you out here." He smiled down at him. "So... What, do I just drop you the volcano or something?"

 Nox smiled, looking down at his shoes for a moment. "I said I didn't know if we were an item or not. Well, now I know," the Fire Lord said cheerfully. Then turned to Winter, frowning. "Why does everyone say I'm cute!?" he sighed in exasperation. Really, he was a Fire Lord. No one had ever called him cute until he'd met Chase and his friends/family. Ignis grinned, shifting into his natural form. "Yes please!" he said quite enthusiastically. The warmth radiating up was enough to make him feel ten times as energetic. Though ... he'd shrunk again. His salamander form was about the size of a bird, and not a particularly large one. Ignis could already see a crowd of salamanders swimming in the lava, coming, going, or just hanging around.

WINTER
The Elf laughed. "Unfourtunally for you, it's because you ARE cute," he answered, ruffling the boy's hair. "At least in your human form. When you're in your other form you just look badass. Besides... Cute is a good thing. You can get away with more when you're cute." He smirked wickedly. "You could easily seduce Vik and drive him insane..."
MARKAS
"Okay then!" He swooped closer to the volcano and dropped Ignis before fulling changing into his Dragon form to protect him from the heat and folling the salamander down into the volcano. Even with the heat-resistant protection, it was still like a sauna in there. Markas landed close to the lava on one of the rocks, curling up contently.

Nox rolled his eyes, ducking away when Winter tried to ruffle his hair. He didn't want just anyone touching his head or hair; that area was sensitive. "I don't want to drive him crazy, I just want to love him and have him love me." He seemed animate. He'd seen plenty of relationships go bad. Sure, he wasn't above seducing, but he'd get to that when he was ... well, sure beyond a shadow of a doubt. Besides, he was almost that sure already. Or impatient. Either way. Ignis landed in the lava with a chuckle, the substance more like tar than liquid, which was just fine with him. Ignis wiggled down into it, easily slipping down into the warm layers of melted rock just because of how hot it was and because he was a creature of heat. Oh ... this made him feel sooooo good ... the pressure of the lava was a back massage, the warmth like life oozing into him and-- Ignis blinked beneath the magma, slowly tilting his head. And ... oh ... wait ... what!? Okay, that was not okay, and not even possible! How the hell had he gotten-- ... Oh boy.
Several other salamanders looked up curiously at the dragon, white eyes glowing while Ignis had his middle age crisis down in the muddy magma.

WINTER
Winter smiled. "You just have to remember, Vik's not the type to say "I love you". He's has the whole "talk is cheap" philosophy. You really have to learn to read him. His "I love you" moments are like... When he smiles for no reason. Or when he's looking at you and his eyes suddenly flash gold. Or when he laughs... Erm... Or... Like that goodbye kiss he gave you. You'll hardly ever hear him tell you that he loves you, you'll just have his actions to go by."
MARKAS
The Dragon looked over at his little audience. "Erm... Hi?" he said, blinking slightly. "Bet you guys are like Ignis..." He blew a jet of flame at them. "Look, free snacks!"

Nox tilted his head, then nodded with a small smile and sigh. "Yeah ... I sort of figured that ..." The assassin seemed to be the type to not blurt out something like that. Nox was content with what they had though, and patient enough to learn Chase's way of 'talking' ... Though he hoped it wouldn't take him too long to figure things out. The audience blinked as the dragon spoke, but the second the flame came out of Markas's mouth-- it was gone. Gobbled up in seconds. And his number of staring white eyes quadrupled. Oh boy ... there were a lot of salamanders that were quite interested in 'free snacks.' Ignis, in the mean time, was cursing ... a lot. Much to the amusement of other salamanders in the lava with him. They asked him what the big deal was about being with egg and he replied in more curses mingled with: d**n fertile dragons!!! No wonder he'd been getting so small ... and felt so drained. His core energy was going into ... well, a growling little dragon-salamander ... thing. Dramander? Salamgon? Holy crud. He was trying too think of spieces names. Okay ... okay ... breath, Ignis, breath. Just go up there and tell Markas ... and tell Markas ... Markas ... Ignis sat there for a moment beneath the surface of the molted rock, thinking. Now he was nervous. Would the dragon think this good or bad ... Well, either way he was going to be called 'fat' again ... d**n it ...

WINTER
The Elf smiled encouragingly. "Don't worry so much about it. He's a nice guy, despite what others seem to think. Sure... He's killed more than his fair share of people, but he really is very kind and loving."
MARKAS
Markas grinned at the growing amount of attention he was receiving. "Alright, alright... Free snacks it is." He let off more fire into the crowd of salamanders. "At least I know I'll be able to make friends with any salamander that I come across."

Nox gave Winter a small smile in return. "Thank you." Though, seeing as they'd left the apartment and were well on their way back to the estate, Nox pondered for a moment. "What's it like around here," he asked, wondering what it might be like to go sightseeing one day just in the area. Well, the salamanders were more than happy, gobbling up the fire like cotton candy. The attention didn't last too long though; once each of them had gotten a taste most of them were content, seeing as the lava was warm enough for them. Ignis crawled up onto the rock though, shaking off some lava before clearing his throat to get the dragon's attention. "Um ..." and then he didn't know what to say first. "Uh ..." he was a very unique shade of orange-red right now, almost like he was blushing all over.

WINTER
Winter thought a bit about the question, pondering. "Well... Not much, really. The beaches are nice, but I don't think you like the water. Um... There's a few amusement parks here." He shrugged. "Either of that, not much." He reached his manor, opening the unlocked door and holding it for Nox.
MARKAS
If Dragons could have pouted, Markas would have when all the attention went away. But he was more than happy to turn his attention to Ignis, nuzzling him with his nose. "Heh... You look funny," he said. "What's up? Having fun?"

Nox went in, pondering. "Hm ... Oh well, I can still explore your house," Nox said, smiling. "I'll be around," he said to Winter, heading towards the library. Maybe he'd find a good book. Or a big maze-ish library to run around in. Ignis rubbed against the nuzzling nose, feeling all warm and cuddly, before getting nervous again. At least he was his regular size again though; the heat had done that much so far for him. "Well ..." Ignis began, "... you see ... I ... um ... How would you fell about having ... another ... kid ... maybe?" Now he was red all over.

LOREN
Loren seemed right at home around towering bookshelves as he carefully placed each book in the proper spot, humming brightly to himself.
MARKAS
"Hmmm...?" The Dragon blinked, cocking his head. "Well... I guess I never really thought about it...Why?"

Nox walked in, grinned at the large bookshelves, then blinked at Loren. "Hello," The Fire Lord chirped from behind the elf, watching the books be put away. Ignis put his paws together and twiddled his stubby little thumbs. "Well ..." he said, looking down at his feet and still very much 'blushing.' "... I'm sort of ... kind of ... with egg ..." The last part was pretty hard to say, coming out of his mouth quietly in a mumble.

LOREN
The Elf leaned over, hanging onto the ladder with one hand so he could place a book on the top shelf. At Nox's voice he jumped a bit, losing his grip and crashing to the floor. "Ow..." he muttered, sitting up and rubbing his head. He gave Nox a slightly pained smile. "Hello!"
MARKAS
Markas just barely caught Ignis' last words, blinking slightly. It took a moment for it to sink into his head but when it did he jumped up. "Oh, oh! Really?! Oh dang... Erm... H-Hang on, I totally know what to do! W-We have to stock up the house with tissues and stuff...! You're emotions are going to be everywhere! Or is it different with Salamanders...? Wait! That's not important! U-Uh... Boy or girl? We need a name! That's important!"

Nox looked down at the servant and giggled. He couldn't help it, Loren was funny. "Putting books away?" Nox asked, holding out a hand to help the elf up. Sure, Chase hatted him but ... that didn't mean Nox had to hate him too, right? Nox hated enough people already. Ignis blinked, watching Markas start to freak out too. For some reason, that made him feel better. That, and the dragon didn't seem mad or anything negative. "Well," Ignis said, "first of all I don't know the gender yet ... it's an egg right now Markas, it hasn't grown up enough yet to be a girl or a boy," he chuckled lightly. "And if I'm not in human form, I cry fire so ... you might want to fire proof a few towels or something. And ... yes. I'll be emotional." Couldn't get around that fact. He was already more ... cuddly. "We might need to take a few more trips to volcanoes in the future; the eggs going to be more of a ... drain on my energy as it grows bigger."
