Camp wasn't what they expected at all. Well nothing like he expected anyway. It wasn't full of annoying brats crying about falling and scraping their knees, there was no pee smell like he prepared himself for, and it was a hell of a lot quieter then a camp should be. Not that he minded anyway, Cerbe wasn't big on sound. Not like Rus was, though certainly not as intolerant about it as Cer. Still what kind of a guard-in-training could he be without anything to guard?
Even more upsetting was the fact he had heard that there were a couple others from his house here, including the Prince, and yet he had yet to meet a single one. Even more depressing was the fact the Prince was somehow not his roommate. How can you guard someone from annoying pests when you aren't housed in the same room?!
Letting out a snort Cerbe crossed his arms. It was Saturday, one of his days to be in control of the body. Rus lay to his side, an ipod eased into his ears and set on it's lowest volume to keep from letting the other two hear whatever crap he called music. Cer was lost in his own mind, thinking about lord knows what. So Cerbe decided to take a walk.
Trudging outside Indignadi house he glanced around once before letting his feet lead him wherever. Really this place was so dull!

Not what he was expecting at all but then again Dragon couldn't say that he really had any idea what it was that he should have expected when it came to this place. He had brought his things to his room without incident, unpacked so that he would know where everything was, and hide a few items that were of particular importance to him in his room and then he found himself a bit... bored. What to do next? Going out meant dealing with other students, he couldn't say he had a desire to deal with anyone other then perhaps the other Indignadi today. Dealing with anyone else meant dealing with peasants after all, something he was certain he'd be forced to deal with soon enough so why do so on his time off?
He looked around his room a moment before he took off the hat he wore, giving it a toss, kicked his shoes off as well, and not really caring one whit where they landed he abandoned his rooms. He had yet to see the one who was to be his roommate, something he didn't understand in the least. He was a Prince so why was it that he had to share this place with her? Worse then that from what he'd heard he was sharing a room with a girl... that was going to be hellish, weren't they messy? Moody? Talkative? He would do what he could do avoid that meeting until he had calmed down after the long trip that brought him here.
In a manner that seemed to be somewhat lazy Dragon floated along a few inches above the ground as though he didn't want his bare feet to touch the ground since he had no idea who was the last one to tread on it. He took in everything around him with his yellow eyes, drinking in every last detail of the inside of the house he was staying before he headed toward where the living room was located first, to see if anyone interesting was around. Nobody, but then again why was he surprised? It was just him and the Kirin after and the odds of finding her here wasn't the best, was it? He wrinkled his nose as he found himself a touch annoyed though he wasn't sure why. A part of him shouldn't care that she was around... and yet a part of him felt as though someone should be there. He didn't much care for being alone, never cared for it.
One of his feathered ears gave a twitch when he caught the sound of the wind moving outside and he turned to look in the direction that the front door was located in. His long, scaly tail lashed for a moment before he turned around and seemed to be in debate with himself before he gave it a bit of time before he headed in that direction. He didn't want to appear as though he were chasing after any signs of life or that he was in need of company, instead he would act as though his going outside to get a breath of fresh air and nothing more. If he was able to find someone to converse with while he was getting fresh air he would call it luck and nothing more. With that plan in mind Dragon headed outside, once more floating along above the ground, not about to settle down if he were heading outside since he risked getting his feet dirty. Perhaps, if he were lucky, he could find something to perch on when he got outside so he didn't have to continue to float.

Hesitating before he left the House area Cerbe wondered if he should at least attempt getting to know his housemates. After all they were supposed to be the best of the best, Hell knew he was, but here he had to yet establish ties. What were the names of the others? He had a hard time remembering things that didn't matter to him, though that shouldn't have been one he got rid of completely.
Turning to glance at Cer he found flaming red eyes staring blankly at him before turning their gaze toward the other common houses. That settled it.
Delicately wrapping their tail around their torso he set his shoulders back and made assured steps toward the Kirin's house, knowing that if anyone would be in their common house it would be the female of the bunch. Still, even though part of him knew he would eventually run into someone, he was not at all prepared to get his first sight of the Prince.
He was smaller then expected, but just as haughty as Cerbe had imagined. He seemed to ooze superiority, and defiance and Cerbe couldn't help but shiver slightly. Even the ground didn't seem worthy to the dragon prince, it's very existence pathetic to his royal eye. Now this was a guy he could easy find himself liking. Realizing he was staring he quickly snapped to attention, making sure his brothers were also well aware of the company they had just come across.
"Your Highness."

Dragon was taking in the look of the area around him through critical eyes before he turned slowly upon hearing the two words that instantly got his attention, 'Your Highness'. He found himself starring at a rather interesting, to say the very least, looking boy. He had three heads that each had glowing red eyes with black schlera, dog ears, and sharp teeth. He paused for a moment then floated forward toward this boy in a curious manner, already knowing who it was. This was the one called Cerberus from the House of Indigandi wasn't it?
"Cerberus, right?" He asked, there was no other this could be from what information he had on the current members who were in the same house as him. Aside from Cerberus there was the Phoenix and the Kirin and he'd heard there were others in route as well. He was more curious about these ones then he was about the other four houses, those who were ranked lower then what the others of Indignadi were. He was sure that they were useful in their own way, sure that he might find one or two of them interesting, but right now he had far more interesting company.
He smiled when he came within arms reach of the other, looking him close before nodding, he wasn't sure why but he found himself favoring this person if only because he was of the same house as him, he was polite and used a correct title, and he was interesting to look at. Not to mention that when he was at his most prickly and lonely it was this person that appeared, it got Cerberus a whole lot of bonus points.

Standing erect Cerbe placed his hands behind his back and gazed proudly at the shorter, albeit intimidating boy. Somehow, even as he felt like his every move was being judged, he felt at ease. Strange, was being with all the others going to be like this or was it only members of his house? Or was it just the Prince? Pushing all silly questions aside Cerbe nodded his head as the others followed suit. Rus was strangely quite while Cer was his normal stoic self.
"Yes Prince. Though we each go by different parts. I'm Cerbe, to my left is Rus while to my right is Cer. We make up your royal guard....." Pleasantries were such a bore, and he could tell Rus was fading fast. Could his brother be any stupider?! Really they were in the presence of the PRINCE! The one person whom he had been looking forward to meeting as soon as he heard about this godforsaken place.
Attempting to contain his anger Cerbe snaked their tail slowly behind their back before lightly hitting his brother in the neck as a warning. Receiving a slight glare he ignored it and let himself have a small smile which almost looked as if he were smirking at the scaled male, but with a very gentle feel to it.
"Have you just gotten here? Really this place is rather pitiful right now. So much quiet it's unnerving. Especially our House, so far there's only four of us actually here. Pathetic." Crossing his arms he finally gave in and gave a real smile. "Though now that you're here it's gotten a whole lot better."

So each head had a different name? That was interesting information which was instantly filed away so that he wouldn't forget their names both as a whole and broken up into the three parts, "A royal guard?" He asked, then nodded his head, rather liking the sound of that. It meant that he had someone who would stand between him and danger... or annoyance. This seemed to bring his opinion of the hound up that much more, "I see, it is good to know."
He look between Rus to Cerbe to Cer and then asked in a manner that sounded curious, "I am assuming that because you each have a different name that you are in fact different people each unto yourselves?" He asked, did each head have their own personalities? Their own thoughts? Such things much be difficult if that was the truth and all three had to share one body. At least at the same time Cerberus would never be alone, that was something that seemed like it would be an up side to having such a body.
If he noticed the manner in which the guard had smacked himself with his own tail Dragon didn't say anything, instead just listened as they questioned him and he gave a slow nod of his head, "I have just recently arrived and unpacked." He said, lifting a hand toward the house that was his residence for his time in this place, "That is my place, what about you? Where is that the three of your reside?" It would be good to know where the royal guard stayed. A part of him questioned why the guard wasn't staying with him, if his job was the protection of Dragon and his health wouldn't it make more sense for them to be closer? It made sense to him but then again perhaps they thought the Prince residing in the same house as a guard wasn't following protocol?
He could only guess what those in charge were thinking, "Have you seen either of the other members of Indignadi?" He asked of Cerberus as a whole, curious if they had been here longer then he had.

So the Prince was not aware of who he was? Well that was something that had to change, and now. Really the people of this place has some nerve not informing the guy he was not going to be thrown into the middle of this without some protection. Cerbe would make sure that if no one bothered the Prince when he didn't wish to be bothered. If they thought otherwise they had another thing coming.
Before Cerbe had a chance to answer the next question, however, Rus had finally decided enough was enough and that he no longer liked being excluded. "Yep! In fact we're almost complete opposites the three of us. Cer's always silent and boring, I'm always upbeat and happy while Cerbe here's just cranky and brooding." Cracking a grin and snickering at the main head only made the mock that much worse.
How dare he insult him in front of the Prince! Growling Cerbe glared flaming daggers at his brother, fire slowly flicking out of his mouth. "I'm not brooding! And the only reason I get cranky is because you hardly ever shut up!"
Glaring at each other a fight looked eminent until an easy and monotone voice, the very sound a feeling of death, slid over the conversation. "Enough." Two pairs of eyes flicked over at the last pair which stared straight at them, the usually silent head obviously annoyed enough to actually speak. Instantly the two stopped and instead turned back to the Prince, apologetic looks on their faces.
Finally clearing his throat Cerbe quickly moved back into his badass persona, taking the lead in answering the remaining questions. "We got here not long ago, although we were one of the first here. I think the only guy who came before us was Chucky, though I never met the kid. We live towards the border that leads into the main camp area, but it's not far away. We're supposed to have some kind of roommate but he....or she for all I know, hasn't shown up yet." Which allowed the three headed boy some privacy.......or as close as you can get with two other heads attached to your body.
Once again he questioned why he wasn't roomed with the Prince. Though if he were housed with the Kirin......probably keeping everyone roomed by station, the Prince and Princess, the guards, the bishops, just what adults would do. Stupid people. "No I haven't seen them around much. They showed up not long after I did, but I didn't feel like saying much to them, I'm not very social." Shrugging he stuck his clawed hands in his pockets, involuntarily making the zipper on his jacket sink lower and reveal more of his chest.
"Yeah you're roomed with Kirin aren't you?! Ooooh I'm so jealous! She looks so pretty..." Course Rus had to end things. He wouldn't be satisfied any other way.

Dragon wasn't sure why but there was just something... amusing about watching this particular person argue with themselves in such a manner. He filed away the information he was given in their argument. His eyes went to the head that seemed to be able to silence the other two with just a word and he lifted one eyebrow in an interested manner. That one seemed to be quite intimidating to the others now didn't he? He was most impressed though he didn't say as much.
"I see." He murmured in response to all of what he'd been told before the Cer seemed to make the arguing stop with a word. It was all good information to know, that one of them was quieter then the rest, that one was more outgoing, and that the third was easy to get a rise out of. The next bit of information he was given he couldn't say was to upsetting, he wasn't really looking to be led to a large gathering at the moment as it was, having a conversation with these three was more then enough company for him, "If it not to much of a bother I would like to know where it is that the three of you stay, best I know where to find a guard if I find myself in need of one." Cerbe gave him an idea of where he was staying but having an idea of where he was roomed and knowing where he was roomed were two very different things. The former wouldn't help him were he to find himself in trouble after all... though it would need to be something great if it sent him seeking aid. Dragon had perhaps to much pride as he was sure that if it was a danger he thought he could stand up against he would try to do just that.
He turned to look at his place for a moment when mention of the Kirin was brought up, "Is she? I've yet to see her myself so I can't say I would know." Nor would he know if she fell into the category of what he found to be pretty, "I am unsure what I think about sharing my space with a girl to be completely honest." Then again he was a little grumpy still that he had to share at all... Sharing wasn't exactly his strong suit.

Snorting Cerbe rolled his eyes and flicked his brother in the ear. "Rus has no taste......in anything really." Smirking he could see the argument rise up in his brother's eyes but strangely he remained silent. Odd, guess hearing Cer scared some sense into his dense skull. Good the less he spoke the more time he could talk with the Prince and find out things that would help him protect the other.
"Of course not. I really hadn't planned to do anything today. Besides it would be an honor." Motioning with his hand he turned and headed in the opposite direction, headed toward the main active area of the camp. It was annoying being so close to the hub of camp life, he was a naturally unsocial creature, in fact though Rus may be the most outgoing even he preferred sitting in their room reading then going out with anybody else.
Still it had its advantages. Since he was so close it didn't take long to get to any of the hang out areas, or to classes whenever those finally got going. Also since others were always so near he could quickly find out about new people, new gossip, and, most importantly, new helpful information. Knowing it might still take a couple minutes before they got there he turned his glowing crimson eyes onto the dragon. "There's not too many here yet. So even if you wanted to go into the busiest area of the camp it'd still be pretty empty. Also I heard a rumor that classes will be starting up soon once more kids start showing up." Really that was going to be the biggest waste of his time. Maybe if he slept during them Rus or Cer would do all the work....

Dragon lifted a hand up to his mouth to cover a bit of a smile behind his hand, not wanting to cause anymore arguing between the different heads. Still to him it was just... amusing to how they did argue with one another. It was an interesting sort of show but he must say that while it was funny he much preferred when things were nice and calm, likely because of what happened when Dragon himself started to get agitated. While he enjoyed the rain himself he would much prefer to call it up purposefully instead of having it start to storm due to a rise in temper.
"And you honor me by allowing me to see your home." He said in a polite manner. The last thing that he wanted was to appear rude... at least with this particular person. He couldn't say that he was a person innocent of rudeness when it was called for, in this situation though it was not. He looked around from side to side, attempt to make it look casual but when it came down to it he was really curious about this place. He was going to be here for a while so he wanted to take it all in. It would be good to get a good feel for the place, "I wonder if they have a map of this place that I might have." He mused out loud to himself.
He turned back to his companions as one of them told him that fr the moment there wasn't a lot of people around, something he found himself considering. That was both good and bad, good because it meant him being able to move around and take everything in without being bothered but bad because much as he refused to admit it out loud he didn't care for being alone unless it was in his room. His room was after all his inner sanctuary and not a place he planned to invite many people if any, "I think I will take a look around sometime very soon, before to many people arrive." He told the guard, as though he didn't mind allowing his guard to know what his plans were. He felt that they could be trusted since they said that they were a royal guard.

Finally spotting his lonely abode Cerbe headed that way, mentally running through the rooms and checking to see if he had left anything in particular out that might make for an embarrassing explanation. They hadn't brought much from home, not being very materialistic they had brought the necessities, their own entertainment for when they weren't in control of the body and some more personal items. Rus had made sure he brought his stuffed rabbit, Cer had gingerly held his notebook, but for Cerbe it wasn't a matter of what he brought so much as what he had left behind.
Frowning he shook his head and concentrated. Now was not the time to be thinking about Damien or his dog affectionately named Butthead. "Never thought about a map, I've got better senses then most people I know so I've been able to move around without one." Turning back to where he was going he allowed Rus to blabber on a bit.
"Yeah I'm sure if you asked them though they'd have one! I mean that's one of the basic things you get at camps. Oh and if you would like we could accompany you around! We're not very familiar of the place either, though we've been here longer. Haven't gotten out of our room much. But that's because Cer and Cerbe have been in control mostly since we've arrived."
Nodding his energetic head Rus grinned brightly at the Prince before they stopped in front of the cabin labeled 'Cerberus and Jörmungandr'. Opening the door the three-headed beast motioned for his Highness to enter. All three heads looking pleasantly at him. "After you."

Dragon glanced over at the Cerberus for a moment, thoughtful, "It would make sense that you have good senses." He said, after all not only were they of the canine family they also had three times the number of eyes, noses, and ears as Dragon himself had. So not only was he a guard but he was also a good tour guide as well as being useful if he was ever looking for someone or something. That was information that would be useful for later.
His attention then went to Rus as he turned to listen to him as he set to talking once more, making him nod, "It would be much appreciated." He said wen Rus offered to accompany him around the camp grounds, better to accept help now instead of getting lost later. That last thing he wanted to do would be having to ask for directions later if he were to get himself lost. Not that he would admit to being lost unless his life depended on it... and even then he supposed he could fly up high and try to figure out where things were that were familiar.
Thinking on that he realized that if they didn't have a map he could always make himself one making use of a pencil, paper, and his ability to float around. That would be saved for later though. He paused to look at the sign that was on the cabin, "Cerberus and Jörmungandr." He murmured to himself, wondering for an idle moment what Cerbe, Rus, and Cer's roommate was going to be like... which of course led him to wondering what his own might be like other then 'pretty' as she had been labeled before.
He smiled when he was motioned inside first, he found their version of politeness rather refreshing, they were polite but not in a stiff manner. They seemed to be friendly as well as polite to him, dealing with him how they would a Princes, yes but also how he would guess they might deal with company they wanted. He wasn't sure why that mattered to him, he was a Prince after all and shouldn't care about what others thought and yet he did to a point.
"Thank you." He said, moving to step inside. He was a bit curious to see inside now that he was offered the chance to go inside. At first he had just wanted to see where his guard lived but now he wanted to look around, to see if their houses were similar inside just as they were outside.

Stepping behind the Prince Cerbe took in the living area with a familiar glance. They entered the living room which was simply decorated. It was rather large for them, but once they had a roomie perhaps it would seem much smaller. There was a gray couch, as well as a couple comfy chairs and a recliner. A coffee table lay in front of the couch and in front of that was a decent sized tv. On the floor was a tan carpet which led all the way to their left where it suddenly became wood flooring.
This was his rather tiny, but adequate, kitchen, which was hidden behind a wall and could only be entered by the archway leading between the two rooms. On the other side of the living room was a door, which was opened to a bathroom and finally to the right of them were two dark wood doors.
"This is our home. Don't know how it compares to your new place but we like it." Shrugging he kicked off his shoes and stood began explaining how it was laid out, leading the way through the place. "Now here's the kitchen. It has another door for some kind of safety thing." Motioning to their right he showed off the fridge and stove as well as some rather decent looking cabinets and cupboards. These were green and matched the the cushions on the chairs that surrounded the semi-large table in the center of the room. "It's ok, I think they went a little overboard on the table but they're probably assuming we'll be having people over." Turning Cerbe stopped to let Dragon take this much in. Wondering what the little Prince thought of even so little of his house so far.

The first thing that Dragon did once he was inside and feeling comfortable he dropped his gaze for a moment to the floor, seeming to be inspecting it closely before he allowed himself to settle down on his feet on the ground. He shifted for a moment on his bare feet before he smiled as his claws clicked against the floor before turning to face Cerberus, "It looks the same so far over all as far as the layout goes." He said, "I wonder if we are allowed to decorate our homes, after all we will be living in them for some time." To be able to change their living space to make it more comfortable to each of the students that were staying in that particular place.
He followed after Cerberus as the tour went on and he noted the differences here and there before his attention was back on his friend, "I've yet to really explore our kitchen, I haven't ever done much in the way of cooking... wonder if they are going to teach us how to do that or if there is a cafeteria." The idea of having to fend for himself in the way of food was worrisome. He wouldn't admit it though, instead he tried to keep his ever confident look on his face instead of letting his fear over food show. Maybe the Kirin would know how to cook? She was a girl after all, weren't they supposed to be good at cooking?
Dragon forced his attention off that though and he gave the table a look, "Having people over." He mused, then nodded, "Perhaps, since we will be meeting friends and acquaintances while here. It only makes sense that we might wish to share meals with those friends from time to time. How are the three of you when it comes to preparing meals?" He asked, wondering if their skills were better then his own at that particular task.

Grinning Rus decided to take over the explanation of the place, knowing Cerbe became flustered when he had to talk too much, even if it were to the Prince himself. "I don't see why we shouldn't be able to. It's our place.....though we'll probably have to talk things over with our roommates before we change things. I mean it wouldn't be good to get on their bad side so soon." Laughing he motioned toward the bathroom and the two remaining doors still answering questions as they were shot at him. "Yeah I've been wondering that myself since we really aren't allowed to leave camp and all. Plus where are we supposed to take pretty ladies on dates?" The last one was a very serious question but lost its true feeling with the giggle like laugh he let loose.
Leading the way to the bathroom he motioned to the rather plain white tiling and white toiletries. They had left it the way they had found it without any color. Not even towels could be found, since they hadn't bothered packing them to begin with and had no idea where to buy any. "Cooking? Well we're actually pretty good, which is surprising but since one of us can read the recipe and the other can cook it while the last one makes sure nothing goes wrong we can make things.......usually isn't the best but we can cook it."
Grunting Cerbe nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah we can cook. Though we like things a little more raw then most people...." Not bothering to explain anything about the room he stalked toward the door closest to the front door.
