"Sure, bro." Angel rummaged through his pocket before taking out a pack of cigs, opening it, and holding it up to Sagas lips. Next, Angel grabbed his lighter and scrolled the mechanism. It came alive and attacked the end of his cigarette, sizzling and turning the tip black. He inhaled and turned his head the other way to exhale through his nostrils. It felt so good to have one again. Stress has been on high reaches for him these past few days. At the snap of Reechis beautiful vocal cords emitting bitter words, Saga tilted his head to the side to steal a peek. Lifting his hand to his mouth, he positioned the cigarette between his index and middle finger to hide his slight smile. Way to go Reechi!
Oops, someone seemed unhappy about it. Saga couldn't help but notice Angels visual display of shock. Already Saga knew how this scenario was going to play out. At first, he expected Angel to take Reechis side. The man practically spoiled her to death and smothered her till she couldn't breathe! But who was he to judge since Reeps adored the amount of affection and attention she received. Yet, Angel took Tristas side. Ouch. Honestly, he was disappointed in everyone at this point. They gave too much attention to the small things and not the other way around. Especially Reechis feelings.
"Reechi!" Angel exclaimed. And here comes another blow. Saga lowered his arm from Angel and scratched his own dragon behind the ear. Bluejay was probably getting finicky by now. Urgh, what has he gotten himself and Bluejay into?
Sorry you have to hear all this, Bluejay.
"Do siblings always have the same train of thought? I have no control over Fucuellos actions. He is my companion but he has his own mind and agenda just like you do from your companion. While I can try to console him, in the end it is his choice. Yes, his actions are immature but did you ever consider that may be a part of his personality. Ever think to see it from his side of the mirror? I'm sorry if you feel; and if you have a bone to pick with my companion, then feel free to take it up with him directly." She ended, she finally ended. Damn, her tone was flat out condescending.
"Yeah, Reeps. Don't be mad at Trista because. Fucuello hates me." Poor Reeps... "I don't want to control you, I can't actually, and they're the same. You're still new in this world, so you havn't met that many people but everyone is different. Some people are what you might consider immature but those same people might think the same about you. No need to get snippy baby." Angel reached to rub Reechis head lovingly but was rejected. Reeps slipped her head from under his hand and bit it. Saga stared wide-eyed. Wow. He couldn't believe what he was watching. After that she dashed away and Bluejay followed, crying after his friend. What just...happened? He turned his attention back to Angel who completely ignored his companions obvious behavior for attention and kissed Tristas hand and locking elbows. What the hell? He was totally in his own world. As if reading his thoughts, Angel glanced up at the two-Saga and Solara- and added. "You're both welcome to accompany us, of course." Fucuello stared Saga down, as if waiting for him to toss Reechi to the side. Immediately, Saga put his hands up in defense and looked away.
"Naw, I think I'm going to go after Reechi and BJ, you know?" He clicked his tongue, pointing in the direction they ran off to with both thumbs. "See you guys inside." He turned his back to the two love-birds, took a few steps forward, and turned back around. "And Solara? Popping out of no where, creepy. But you look nice." He chuckled and ran off for real this time, disappearing behind the corner.

Once outside, Saga took one last blow of his cig. and pressed the bud into the wall, killing it. Only one way to find her...He glanced around at the scenery covered by the night and then cupped his hands around his mouth yelling, "Reechi! Oi, Reechi!? Where are you!?" he repeated this over and over again while walking around. "Bluejay?"
