Absit Omen RPG

Kael held up his hands as he set the frog and another box down on the counter. Moving to her he kissed her forehead before stepping back quickly hands in the air. He knew better than to stay any longer and for once he decided to listen to that little voice that said to quickly go the way he'd come in.

"Alright, Alright I'm leaving, I'll be back when he's home," he said as he watched her.

He slowly backed out to the door and then paused in the open doorway. He leaned in to see her one more time as he smirked.

"Happy Birthday a month late," he said as he walked out and closed the door.

He knew it was a bad idea to give her a present and it would send her tossing the vase at his head across the street but he couldn't resist one more little push.

Kael stood up and leaned on the counter. As usual he was getting kicked out, though she seemed more angry about it this time that the times before. His smiled disappeared as he moved around the edge to lean back a couple feet away from her. He didn't move to touch her but he didn't leave either.

"Something wrong Audrey?" he asked quietly with concern in his voice.

She was family and if there was something bothering her he wanted to know how he could help. He slid his hands into his pockets as he watched her. He wanted to stay to help but he had to admit he wanted to see Linus too, there would be more ground rules set with the candy as well as presenting of chocolate frogs.

"Let me stay to see Linus, I don't get to see him often."

Kael sat back as he listened to her talk. He chuckled a bit when she mentioned what floor she worked on. He'd only been on that floor when he started out once or twice, other than that he and Flynn had decided that he needed his own floor labeled: "Kael got stupid and got bit by (insert dragon name/breed) again." He smiled and folded his jacket again as he stuffed it into the pouched he'd pulled the water from.

"No I'm usually where ever they decide to throw me when I come in with gigantic bites on my legs, or arm, or stomach. You know the usual places that dragons like to bite," he said with another laugh. "As for what I'm doing out here, well I need some new clothes since my little Sven, my youngest Hungarian Horntail, decided that my dresser was a great place to hide and then set on fire."

He sighed and shook his head. It wasn't the first time that he'd had something burn down because one of the young ones got trigger happy with their fire. It was funny how more often than not it was them than the older ones that burned something down, then again he kept the older dragons a good distance away from his house.

"They live in the pens or open areas that I own/lease whatever you want to call it. The young ones are only in the house when I need to check up on them or when they're sick. Other than that they're all outside and my house is surrounded by several spells to keep it standing and safe. Though I am outside or in St. Mungo's more often than not," Kael said with a chuckle.

He set his water on the ground at his feet after putting the top back on it. He sat back as he looked her over again. He hadn't missed the glances from her side. There were pauses and little lifts of her chin that tipped him off more. Tapping one boot on the ground he stretched.

"So what brings a fair lady like yourself outside on such a miserably hot day?" he asked.

Kael knew he shouldn't but he couldn't help but laugh at her anger. It wasn't that he did it for kicks but seeing her angry made her even more attractive, plus as her 'brother' it was his duty to make her upset but not let anyone else upset her. He walked in behind her and closed the door before walking into the kitchen. Leaning against the counter he watched her fume for a little bit.

She had a point. He shouldn't have given Linus the prank candy but the kid had turned on the puppy eyes and there were times that Kael couldn't fight that look. He could say no to the kid, it was just that he didn't get to see him often and he felt like he needed to show him that he had some sort of male figure to care about him. He held up his hands in defeat and smiled at her.

"I know, I'm sorry Audrey. I didn't think he'd take them to school. They were to stay strictly here or to be used when he didn't have classes," he said. "I know that doesn't help my case but there it is."

The door opened and immediately there was a jab to the stomach with her broom. Rubbing his 'battle wound' he grabbed the end of the broom. Fiery as always, he laughed and smiled at her. He was still attracted to her it was true, but he had been around her long enough to know that it wasn't only the veela charm. He tugged the broom out of her grasp in one swift motion and leaned in to kiss her on the cheek. No matter how old he was he still loved messing with her too much. Smiling at her he chuckled again.

"I can't just stop in for a visit? I brought Linus a present. And I promise this time it won't get him into trouble," he said as he reached into his pocket. "He wrote me and mentioned that he was asking for a frog. I figured a live one would be bad so I bought him a big chocolate one."

Pulling out the box he showed it to her. He handed it to her and leaned against the door frame making sure that she couldn't close the door on him like she had to many times before. Smirking he pulled her to him suddenly and hugged her close. It wasn't anything romantic but a familial hug.

Kael looked around Hogsmeade taking his time as he meandered through the streets. It had been a while since he had last been here. He tucked a bag into his pocket and smirked. Linus always begged for presents and he was a sucker when it came to that kid. He'd known the Hughes since he was in school with Flynn, though he saw him a lot more since becoming a dragon tamer. He worked on what exactly he was going to say to Audrey this time as he walked towards her house. He had given Linus some prank candies and he'd gotten himself into detention because of them, Audrey was furious.

Of course the normal vases and silverware were thrown, he was used to that by now. After years of teasing Mrs. Hughes and Audrey there wasn't anything they would do that could surprise him. Well there were some things but that wasn't the point. He walked on hands in the pocket of his pants. For once he'd given up the black leathers and dressed in a light blue tee and jeans. Still too hot for jeans but he wasn't a shorts kind of guy.

Reaching the door he paused a moment and took a break, preparing to duck. It was going to be painful, he knew she was still angry with him. Knocking on the door he prayed that some poor vase wasn't going to come crashing out past his head the moment it unlatched.

Kael pulled the jacket all the way off and set it in his lap. He looked back at her and then crossed his legs as he rolled up the pants legs. He didn't mind or didn't seem to notice either way that when he moved the shift conformed to the muscles and contour of his body. Sitting back he set the jacket on the back of the bench.

"Yep I have....twenty? At my place, I think. I lost count this morning," he said as motioned to the clothes. "I was out here shopping for a new wardrobe. Since one of the young ones decided that playing spit the fireball at Kael's closet was a good idea."

Pulling out yet another bottle he held it to the back of his neck for a bit before drinking it down. It was nice to have something cold. He was hoping that it wasn't going to be this hot all day but as soon as he could he was changing out of this leather and into something that would be at least a little bit cooler.

"It's not poisoned," Kael said as he finished off his own bottle.

He leaned forward and put his arms on his legs before shrugging off the jacket leaving him in a plain blue tee underneath. He hadn't just stopped to flirt but he figured since she was here he might as well try his hand at it see where it got him. He did get a name however for his ventures. That was a good start even though the weather wasn't.

Pulling out the towel again the wiped down his neck and face before sitting back up. She looked familiar to him but he couldn't quite place her. Where had he seen her before? Who knew, he'd been so many places and met so many people she could have been someone he'd seen out of the corner of his eye.

"It's almost unbearable and that's coming from a dragon tamer," he chuckled and held out his hand to her. "I"m Kael. Nice to meet you Jules."

Kael fanned himself with a folded ad he'd been handed as he made his way through the shops. He'd already gone through four bottles of water already. Why did it have to be so blasted hot. Then again he was wearing black leather pants and a leather jacket. That, he admitted to himself was the likely cause of the near heatstroke that he was suffering from. He wandered through loving the shadows that he was finding in Diagon Alley.

It had been some time since he'd come here. He needed some fresh supplies and to get away from his dragons. He'd been working since the epidemic started with making sure that all of his were healthy. It wasn't as easy as it looked, especially when it meant jumping in the pit with a few angry fellows who didn't like to be messed with. So today he decided that he was going to take a break and not worry about the world for a bit.

Finding a bench he fell back onto it not even noticing that it was occupied for a moment as he drained his bottle again, wiping the sweat off his forehead with a towel before stuffing it back into a pocket. The first thing he did notice was when his hand hit a bag on the way back. Looking at it he tilted his head and then looked up at the other occupant.

"I'm sorry," he said as he took her in with a cursory glance. "I didn't know anyone else was sitting here. Water?"

He looked at her and pulled out an ice cold bottle from the compartment on his belt. Merlin's beard he loved expansion charms. With a smile he offered it to her as he fished one out for himself.

"Please tell me you're hot. Well I mean you are but let's not talk about looks."

Smiling at the revelation that Audrey might not be tossing kitchen knives and meat cleavers at his head Kael sat up slowly. He was still feeling rather drunk or high, the latter he never had been so he was guessing. Looking up at Flynn he pushed himself onto the bed more and managed to sit up straight. Shaking his head to the question about being dizzy or nauseous he rubbed his eyes. He was still tired, but that was to be expected he supposed. He didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night, which probably had led to him getting bitten in the first place.

"I only made fun of them and kept it going so long because it was funny to see them get mad. That and your sister is hot. I had a crush on her so teasing her was twice as fun," he replied as he held out his hand. "It's been fifteen minutes hasn't it?"

Kael laughed at Flynn's muttering and ramblings. At the mention of his mother and sister, he giggled. When Flynn had suddenly backed away it left Kael wobbling a bit before falling back onto the bed. Pulling himself up he coulndn't help but laugh more. Even through the poision's haze he could still clearly remember the times that he had stayed with Flynn during thier breaks at Hogwarts. Needless to say the frist day he had visited was very intersting. Over the years it had evolved from the awkward silences and his staring to vases shatterng where his head had been seconds before.

"So violent, those poor vases. They never did anything to deserve being thrown across the house, and the roses! Those poor poor poor bushes. They burn up so fast," He said laying back across the bed remembering the many things that had happened thanks to his teasing comments to both veela women in the Hughes household.

Kael watched Flynn read over the notebook and then pull out the appropriate potions for him to drink. They looked like they tasted horrible. But being in no condition to complain, since his brain wasn't really froming much more than very...awkward thoughts he decided to keep his mouth shut and drink the first two. That was about all it took for what could only be called 'word vomit' to be released.

Falling agianst his friend he laughed, head on his chest and a hand on Flynn's cheek patting it. "You look so pretty today Flynny-poo. I bet Fauna just loves that...so pretty. You're so soft....I like soft things.." he rambled moving on from patting to stroking the healer's face, his eyes half glazed over.

Kael looked at Flynn then to the bag on the floor besode the bed. Maybe ot wasn't a Swedish Short-snout. No was...what was its name. Hooking the bag with the toe of his boot he lifted it and grabbed the list out of the bag wincing as the move opened the bag grabbing a notebook as he flipped it open. It was his detailed list of all qualities, physocal and personality details, medical needs, pictures, and more of ebery dragon he worked with.

Looking for a moment his breath hitched, the tightening in his chest getting worse. Ignoring it he found the picture and pa ge he needed. It was Adrox a young Swedish Vipertooth hybrid.  Looking back to Flynn he turned the book to him.

Gasping for a breath he spoke, "Four hours. Had to round up....round up little ones.... You know how they are."

All I can offer is Kael. He's open for being auctioned off.
