Rude Interruptions [Curtis, Luna & Scratchet]

[Scratchet]

Scratchet was busy. She had been on low profile for too long now, and she was itching to get back into action. Sitting in the middle of the forest, she plotted numerous ideas. Just before she could think of anything more, a rustle in the distance distracted her from her planning.

Being downwind, Scratchet didn't have to move to know what caused the rustling, snapping branches underfoot, etc... Scents that carried along the air belonged to two humans. Not planning for this, Scratchet grinned at herself. She had made no plans for something like this, so she would have to improvise. It would do well as a warm-up for the events to come.

Sneaking closer, she swore she heard two familiar voices. Being good at being stealthy, she took to the upper canopy, using only smells and hearing as her guide. She followed the couple all the way to the canyon, where she took her vantage point on a thick bough of a tree, overlooking the entire canyon. That was were she finally saw them - Luna, and Curtis-boy.

It was a typical day. Well, As typical as it gets for Berk atleast. Curtis walked up to Luna's door and knocked afew times and waited for her to awnser, When she did Curtis looked up at her. "Hey, Want to go for a walk in the canyon?" Curtis had waited for to awnser. (Due to the fact that we kinda have to go there im just gonna go ahead and say luna said yes to save time.) When Luna had replied Curtis waited for her to gather anything she wanted to get before they left. When she was ready Curtis started walking towards the canyon. "So, How are we today?" He looked over for a moment then back infront of him so he dosn't hit anything or anyone for that fact. They continued to walk along until they got to the canyon's edge, Only a couple hundred feet drop. Nothing that anyone should be concerned about becuase if they fall into the Abyss below. Well, Better say your sweet, Faithful prayers on the way down or you arn't going to get another chance to say them again. Curtis looked around the canyon. "You can lead from here."

[Luna Heiler & Ayer]

[OOC--well, since Curtis doesn't seem to know what the word romantic looks like I'm going to have to get things going here xD s'ok C. Luna luvs ya anyway =P  so  if Luna gives it to ya, ya better give it back. And lol, give Curtis a chance to go after me before you go and crash their party, scratchet. *WARNING TO ALL WHO CHOSE TO ENTER* You are about to see a rare side of Luna. Do not be alarmed, it is not a permanent condition. Ok, here goes] 


Luna smiled slyly over her shoulder at Curtis as she stepped ahead after he told her to lead. He never told her to lead, she never really wanted to. So she wondered why he would suggest she do it on this occasion. But Luna did. She ducked into the tunnel-like entrace that opened into the canyon.  Her eyes glanced over her shoulder and saw Curtis following her closely.  As Luna strode Into the canyon, she watched Curtis step out of the tunnel behind her and look around. She was really curious why they had come out here, maybe just to have some time alone, which was always nice. But Luna had a feeling he had a trick up his sleeve, so Luna went to him. She walked over and stood close to him, their bodies touching. She wrapped her arms around him And tilted her head slightly up to smile at him. "so what did you bring me out here for?" Luna asked quietly of him. She put her booted toes up on the tips of his boots where his toes were and stood on tip-toe, elevating her heels off the grassy floor of the canyon. She was exactly eye level with him when she did this. They looked into each other's eyes as she did this, his beautiful, sincere, deep blue eyes locked on into her big, round, twinkling silver ones. Luna wished she could know every thought that went on behind those eyes. She could tell his mood, just by looking at them. Luma pressed her nose on his as she said "hmmm? So?" in a small voice. She wanted him to loosen up a little, he seemed stiff today, she wasn't sure why he was, but she wanted him to stop. She hoped he hadn't brought her here alone to give her bad news. Millions of scenarios swirled simultaneously throughout her head, thinking of things that could have gone wrong that he might need to talk to her about. She didn't move, but a frown spread on her face when he hesitated to answer. "what's wrong, Curtis?" she asked, nose still pressed lightly against his.


[ooc- *cough* kiss her. *cough*...was that the wind?]  

[fric2626]

OOC- Due to the fact I cant see how much RKB can Reply to that ill reply then we will see who will be able to reply after that.))

Curtis looked around with his eyes then back with Lunas. He could see a frown on her face, "There's no reason why I brought you out here. Just to relax abit I guess." He smiled and lightly kissed Luna. He pulled back just abit after and looked around, He felt like they were the only ones there. He usally has the right idea about things like this when he feels like it. It actually has kept him out of trouble afew times before coming to Berk. Curtis looked back at Luna with his eyebrow raised abit. "You feel like were not the only ones here?" He asked in a questioning tone, It could of been just him but one can never know unless they ask someone else if they feel like whatever the other one feels like. Yea Abit confusing though. Curtis cheecked the edges of the canyon that were around them and saw nothing, He looked everywhere else and still nothing. Mabye he was wrong, Mabye he was right who knows until it happens or not.

[Luna Heiler & Ayer]

[ooc- me and RKB have been scheming again. And I've  been given instructions on how to proceed [not on what to write, that's all me]  so curtis, just reply untill I tell you to stop and let scratchet have a go. M'kay?]

Luna listened tO Curtis. She wondered what he could be talking about. Of course they were the only ones. They were alone. Curtis was acting strangley today, she wondered what was wrong. She knew that if it concerned her and if he wanted to tell her he would, so she didn't push the subject. "I think were alone, Curtis." she wondered if he was playing at something. Luna took a step away from Curtis and looked around the canyon. It was a warm day, but beautiful none the less.  There were pairs of birds gliding around in the sky, not very far above them. The sun was casting a golden light On the entire world, lighting everything and warming the surface of the earth. There was a little breeze. Luna looked over the water in the lake in the canyon. It roared and ripped down where the waterfall was and became still and quiet towards the other end, which was closer the them. Luna ran her fingers through her hair and she got an idea. She gave a little smile to Curtis.

 Luna kicked off Her boots, pulled off her leggings and slid her overshirt over her head before slipping her undershirt off after it. She looked at Curtis as she readjusted the cloth wrapped around her chest. She kicked her heap of clothes over next to a rock. "come on." Luna said to Curtis before sprinting off towards the other end of the canyon. She reached the place where the waterfall tumbled over the canyon wall And into the pond that formed in the space where it landed. She looked up at the wall of water as Ot came crashing down, more liquid flowing rapidly over every second. The large pool of water was deep here. Much much much deeper than she could ever hope to stand in. The depths most likely even extended far enough that it would be impossible for luna to swim and reach the bottom. With one more look into the water, Luna leaped into it.

The water and cold, VERY cold. Especially against all her bare skin. She let herself sink into the perfectly clear, cool, refreshing waters. She closed her eyes and lost herself in the ambience of complete and utter calm. It was so peaceful. When he lungs forced the girl to swim ip and surface, she gasped for air as her head broke the surface. She looked around for Curtis and didnt see him. She wondered where he had gotten to. Luna dove under the surface again and let the water cover her entire being a she kicked her legs and Propelled herself through the lucid liquid. She didn't know why, but Luna decided then in that second what she wanted to do. She surfaced for a split second to take a breath of warm air. In that second she heard the crashing water, it was very very near. Luna dropped under and allowed the water to overtake her. It covered her head again and she swam fearlessly Through under the waterfalls tumbling waves. Even underwater she felt the force of impact on her bare back as the water fell. Once she had swam through it, she surfaced once again. She was behind the waterfall. There was about 2-3 arms length worth of room between the water and the rock. It was like a room of water. It was enchanting. It  was beautiful. There Was only one thing that could possibly make it better. And all she had to do now was wait for him to come and find her. Rested from treading water for a few moments by holding on to a hand-hold in the rockface next to her. Luna looked at her location in awe as she awaited the arrival Curtis, her love. 

[fric2626]

(( Just so you know. Im making this clear NOW. There's not going to be any Super lovey dovey stuff. Nope, Curtis isn't like that so you know now.))

Curtis watched Luna run off towards the water. He laughed to himself and watched for afew moments before looking around again. Had it just been his ears playing a sinister little trick to toil with him? Had the surrounding area's joined in union to play somthing upon Curtis that he wouldn't see coming? The noises left and Curtis looked around once more for a final glance around the area. He had saw nothing and slowly start to slide his boots off his feet and up them by a rock. He looked down at the rock beneath them, Rockey kind of terrain with the soft free moving dirt that had laid between cracks and laied over the rockey land with a thin blanket. Curtis took his shirt off and put it down onto of his boots, He looked down at the small scale around his neck and smiled walking towards the waterey area. He came to the edge of the water, He jump into the pool of water that sat here in the canyon areas. He swam around, The water was cold but atleast it wasn't cold enough that it would freeze him into a locked up and dead looking postion. He swam around and then under the water, He looked around for Luna and came up behind her from the water. He put his hands on her shoulders. " 'Ello"

[Luna Heiler & Ayer]

Luna felt a pair of hand grab her from behind and hold on to her shoulders. She looked over her should and followed the set of strong hands placed on her up the arms and into his face. She smiled At curtis. She dropped underwater and swam up into his arms, so that when she swam up to the surface, his arms were around her. She Put one of her arms around him and kissed his nose. "hi, Curtis" she said. Her legs brushed up against his under the water, wether it was intentional or unintentional she liked it. For a long time they just stayed there in one place together. Both treading the water. They only sound was the roaring water of the waterfall right behind the couple, but Luna could hear his breathing and as she leaned up on him, she could feel the gentle rise and fall of his chest. Luna looked at him and their eyes met and locked. For a very long time, Luna simply stare into his eyes, a look of longing shining in her own silvery eyes. Luna and Curtis didn't spend alot of time together around other people, so most of the time when they were together, they were alone, but right now here for some reason she felt especially solitary with the exeption on Curtis being there with her. She was glad he had brought her, even if he hadn't had anything planned to do, they had found something. Luna pushed the strands of hair hanging in her eyes away. Then she brought the hand that wasn't around him Out of the water and reached up and pushed the hair hanging in his eyes away and smiled "that's better" luna mumbled. She ran her hand down his face Amd felt the soft hairs only beginning to form on his cheeks and laughed softly.


{ooc- Curtis, you go once more then I'll go again then I'll cue scratchet! =D}

[fric2626]

((-I can Line RKB up for this, So she can go after my post. But Luna If you want to do another post after this go ahead I don't care ))

Curtis treaded the water undearneath him and kept himself above the water, The pool wasn't too deep, But it was deep enough that Curtis wasn't able to touch the ground of the pool. Curtis just stayed in place with Luna between him and his arm's. He felt as if the water that was around them just filled his mind with aqua thoughts, He didn't know why it just did. Probabley becuase of being in the water just did that to him. Curtis looked into Luna's silvery eyes, He smiled at her. "This is nice" He looked around the area seeing if what he thought he heard would of showen its self, Thing is; he didn't know what he was looking for excatly but who knows. He ignored it and moved his eyes back to Luna and smiled at her, He lean over abit and kissed her.

[Luna Heiler & Ayer]

Curtis seemed kind of distracted today. She didn't know why, but he couldn't keep his attention on her, he kept gazing off like he was looking or listening for something that wasn't there.  He wasn't quite jumpy, just over aware of other things it seemed. It wasn't like he was in any way ignoring her, he just wasn't giving her undivided attention. Se glanced around when he started to stare off, she certainly didn't see or hear or anything.

As Luna brought her face back so she was looking at him, he Smiled at her before kissing her. Luna closed her eyes and put both her arms around his back and slightly tightened her grip on him. Luna kissed him back enjoying and savoring the sweet, tender moment between the two of them. If it had been nice before, well this was much nicer. The moment seemed perfect. She loved it, she loved him. when he ended it, Luna pulled back as well. She opened her eyes and smiled at him. She leaned on him, setting her head on his shoulder and breathing deeply and slowly. She wrapped her legs around him and held on to him. Luna stayed there for awhile, embracing him and just enjoying the intamite moments in solitude with him. Luna lifted her head and brushed her cheek against his and brought her lips to his ear Amd murmured into it "I love you, Curtis. I always will" she planted a soft kiss on his cheek before looking into his eyes and the twin pools of blue that made their dwelling there. She wasn't sure how long they stayed there like that, but sadly Luna quickly grew cold. The cold water and the cool rock creating the enchanting room made it very cold despite the warm day. "I'm cold. Let's go." Luna said after awhile. She regrettably undid het legs from around him and let go for her hands clasped behind his back. She strared into his eyes one more moment before taking a breath and dropping under the water and swimming out of the watery enclosure, curtis presumably following her. 

When Luna came up to the surface and her head broke over the water, she took in a deep breath before swimming over to the edge of the pond in the canyon and hoisting herself out. She sat on the shore for a moment to let the sun warm her cold skin before standing up. She ran her fingers through her wet hair and ran her fingers over the bare skin on her hip where her branding mark was, feeling the scars. She ran over to the other side of the canyon to the rock where she had left her stuff. She reached the place and didn't find their clothes there. She looked around and still didn't see them. She looked around a little more and when she still didn't find them, she was confused. She looked over to where Curtis was. She went over to him with a sly smile on her face. She slung her arms around his neck and looked at him. "now, what did you do with my clothes?" she asked, tapping the tip of his nose with her finger. 

[Scratchet]

Spying on the couple entering the cave, leaving their belongings on a rock, Scratchet decided it was her time to strike. Beating her turquoise and orange-mottled wings, she took off into the air from her vantage point. Spiralling down, occasionally half-tumbling out the sky when she banked too hard, she stealthily landed near the prey. Quickly glancing to the waterfall to make sure they weren't coming out, she snatched the clothes, and took off once more.

Finding a suitable hiding spot, she dumped the pile of fabric on the other side of the wide lake, behind a large stone. They'd have to walk a while to find those. Scratchet cackled at her handiwork. She decided to wait and see the reaction, she took off once more, gaining altitude so they would merely see a silhouette in the sky, and not recognise the culprit.

She saw Luna emerge first, looking in vain for the missing clothes. Giving another cackle she lowered her altitude a little. That was when it struck her - Luna was soaking wet! How could anyone want to be wet! The Nadder decided to help her dry off. Swooping down from behind, she grabbing Luna under the arms, and hoisted her into the air.

"Consider this a free drying service!" She cried out in delight. Scratchet had no idea that Luna was terrified of heights. She flew the little girl around the lake several times, much to Luna's distaste as Scratchet misinterpreted her screams as screams of delight and thrill. Setting her down on the grass in front of Curtis, she landed herself not to far away.

Scratchet bowed towards Luna gracefully. "At your service, Luna." She gave a cheeky wink.

[fric2626]

Curtis's eyes widend abit when Scratchet appeard. Oh no.. This could only mean one thing, She was here to screw with them and Curtis DID NOT want that to be going on. Curtis shook his head. "No, No, No, No." He fell back and then got up quickly. "NOT YOU AGAIN!" Curtis can remember the few times Scratchet screwed with him and pissed him off, The first time he met the dragon back in the town awhile ago when it was raining and she grabbed him and threw him into the mud. Then there was the time at the arena when He tried to get her to act properly but that hadn't worked either and he got pissed off from that. But now he wasn't going to let her Piss him off, If anything She was going to end up half way down the damn canyon if she pulled anything on them. "Where the hell did you put our cloths" He gave scratchet a deathly glare.

[Luna Heiler & Ayer]

When scratchet swooped out of the sky and ripped her away from Curtis in order to fly her around in the air and 'dry her off', all Luna could do was scream in terror. There was nothing below her as the nadder whipped her around in the air. Luna was too petrified to cry even, all she could do was empty her lungs with the shrill screaming she utter from her lips. She shook in fear as sctrachet continued the flight. When the dragon thought it was enough she abruptly turned and dove down through the air to where Curtis stood with an angry look on his face. Scratchet dropped Luna in an ungracefully heap and curtis' feet. Luna looked at the dragon, fear still in her eyes from being flown in that manner. But scratchet look quite pleased with herself as she stepped back and looked at the couple. Lunas eyes darted up at Curtis who was still giving sctrachet a look that clearly communicated his unhappiness at their current situation. Luna brushed the dirt that had gotten on her from being dropped on the ground off the skin on her stOmach. She was still pretty shocked and her hands were still trembling, but she was going to be fine, in a little bit. The very unexpected lift into the air had rocked her and frayed her nerves a little, but not beyond replair.  She was upset that this troublesome dragon had ruined the nice time she had been having with Curtis. It had been so peaceful and serene, but Luna supposed Curtis had been right when he sensed another precense before. It had been scratchet lurking, waiting for them, well aware of the trouble she was going to cause. Luna hoisted herself to her feet and stood next to Curtis. She could almost feel the  outrage radiating off Curtis, he was defiantly not happy about this and did not at all find it comical as the the dragon obviously did. And Luna certainly did not find her mischief making funny, and was shook up about the high flying scratchet had pulled. Luna took curtis' hand for a moment and whispered into his ear "try not to get too upset over it, love" and gave his hand a quick squeeze before letting go of it.  She glanced at Curtis, who was still staring hardly at the nadder before them. How were they going to get her to leave?

[Scratchet]

Scratchet at first felt pretty smug. Offering her duties to the one she owed in such a way, I mean wow! Beautiful thinking, Scratchet. Beautiful inside, and outside. She thought. However the reaction wasn't what she expected. She thought that Luna would be grateful, since she believed that no one should get wet. But no, the little human girl appeared quite frail, trembling, clutching onto the male for comfort and support... Wait.

Eyes focused on the male, recognising who it was. He had been shouting at her ever since she landed, and attempting to give him a good mean ol' stare. But the turquoise reptile just couldn't see the fear through that fluffy fur on his head and those big, round, not-slitted-pupils, pools-of-blue eyes. She stared at him dumbly. "Look, Curtis-boy, I don't know what you're trying to do, but you just look so funny when you do that" Her visual expression turned from being incredulous to rearing her head back in one of her giddy cackles.

She made a shrugging motion with her folded wings. "Who needs clothes? I mean, you guys are lucky! I don't even have warm blood! And I don't even need fabrics to keep warm!" She stated. She stopped for a moment, watching what was going on between the two humans. The female, showing obvious signs of discomfort, clutching to the stronger male who appeared in a dominant stance. It clicked in the mind of the Nadder.

"OHHHHH!!! You two are mates!!!" Scratchet exclaimed, her voice echoing around the canyon. A little smile curled at the ends of her mouth. This would be fun to experiment with. "So, how's that going for you guys? Doing anything specialllll?" She said in a sickly sweet teasing voice. She lowered her head, tilting it slightly as if to look cute, but being a reptile, it didn't pull off easily. She resumed a somewhat normal disposition, if that were normal. "Scratch that. I've been watching you two for a loooongg time and you two really haven't done anything romantic as human mates tend to do..." She dug a claw in the ground, pretending to look innocent. "If you want I could always give you pointers?" She honestly knew they were going to try and get rid of her, but she had an idea in mind and was desperate to try it out.

[fric2626]

Curtis was starting to get annoyed with this Nadder, Curtis dosn't understand one bit of dragonesse and that's all Scratchet was doing, Blabing on and on about what ever she was talking about. He didn't really have much other choice, Curtis looked at Luna "One second." He put his fingers to his mouth and let out a sharp, loud whistle, It had a slight tune to the end of it. Curtis had praticed this "Tune Whistle" With Slity ever since he found him. Slity was able to hear this easy, It would be faint but he would still be able to hear it. The whistle hit Slity's ears, It was faint but he heard it. He got up and took off for the sky, He heard it afew more times drawing closer towards. Curtis looked around and did it once more, It was going to be hard to find Slity in the sky. Out of no where Slity plunged down and landed beside them, Curtis looked at Slity and then pointed towards the Nadder. "Mind helping me talk to Scratchet Bud?." Curtis had the feeling he wouldn't be able to do much but Slity nodded his head in agreement. "Ok, Just try to get her to leave us alone." Slity turned to Scratchet and started to talk trying to get her to leave them alone. "Luna, You able to translate any?"

[Luna Heiler & Ayer]

Luna listened to scratchet run her mouth, most likely fully aware that only she could understand her blabbering. She found it strange that she found curtis' angry stare funny. Luna of all people wasn't afraid of Curtis, but that look made her fearful. It scared her more than alot of things she encountered in much more tretcherous situations.  Luna didn't like the glint scratchet had in her eyes after she thought she so cleverly discovered curtis' Amd her relationship, practically screaming unto the world that the couple were mates. Her gleeful roar echoed off the canyon walls, bouncing back and forth.  She looked at Curtis, who seemed confused because he could not decipher the dragonese words obviously aimed at them. But luna understood her words perfectly. And she wasn't too thrilled about what she was saying.  She really didn't want scrtchet screwing around with their love life, and she wad positive Curtis would feel the same way. Luna scowled slightly at the dragon- scratchet was SO annoying, Luna just wanted her clothes and for the nadder to leave them alone. Luna felt really overexposed what with her branding in plain view with anyone exept Curtis around, who was the only one she was comfortable with letting see it. Just because scratchet was a dragon didn't mean Luna wanted to show her her secret. The dragon was certainly capable of seeing things and spreading rumors, and what with some people on berk with the ability the speak and understand dragonese, her secret could easily spread to the town and spread to a rumor throughout the village-  which would be terrible. something like that would ruin Lunas life forever, she had met outcasts in the forest before, she didn't want to be reduced to that. 

She heard Curtis let off a loud whistle, a call for slity. She wondered what slity could do for them. When Curtis asked his dragon to help with translation, Luna thought the plan was at least worth a try. She wasn't sure how well it would work, scratchet might not be patient enough for something like this. "yah, I can help" Luna said nodding. She made a face and recounted all that scratchet had said to them for Curtis, who by the look on his face, wasn't too thrilled either. Once she was finished she said "that's all." she glanced over at the nadder who was curiously watching Luna and Curtis and slity interact. She watched as the nadder stared directly at her, as if sizing her up. It made luna uncomfortable. She brought her hand to her hip Amd covered the rune-shaped scars on her hip, concealing them from the dragon's view. She took a step closer to Curtis and mumbled "I hope this works, shes looking at me weird"
