"Dude....you're talking to a chick who can move water with her mind. Or magic. Or however in the hell it works. Things stopped being ridiculous the year I came to DD. If things didn't shock me then, they sure as hell arn't gonna shock me now." It was an infinite world and a crazy one at that. "Hell, there's nothing that can be called normal anymore. And if there is it's barely a category." Kida stilled herself from playing with her bar stool to sigh. "Ah well. Only makes life more interesting, right?"
"Still, it's nice that you can keep in contact that way." Kida only hoped it didn't make dreaming awkward. Zeph already had enough problems with the whole I-can-hear-your-thoughts thing. Brothers or no, that could cramp anybody's style.
Kida swung herself around on the bar stool, coming back to face Zephel and smiled. "Wanna hear something even more ridiculous?"

Zeph sort of laughed lightly at her view of the 'rediculous' world they're currently living in, and sure enough, Kida's right thoroughly. Interesting...so that's the other word to replace his version of the word 'problem'.
"Nice, my foot. The idiot kept squealing and rambling in my sleep. How can peace ever exist in my life?" But then Zeph remind himself that this is not a 'problem', it's 'interesting'. "...Of course, it's nice to talk to that airhead of a brother of mine once in a while." He silently is grateful he's able to adept any given perceptive he found worthy enough to try.
As Kida swung on her bar stool, Zeph almost wanted to hold her still by the shoulders at the annoyance of her constant fidgeting, but paused when the woman stopped herself with that question of hers. "Oh? What can top an annoying brother messing up your slumber?"

Kida giggled at the thought and spun herself around on the bar stool again. "Ya know, Bec." She jerked her thumb back at the little green fire-lizard who was still curled up in front of the fire, as happy as can be. "Well...." She glanced at her small companion and leaned forward to Zephel so she could whisper.
"He's hopelessly in love with--get this--Orlith." She hissed out the last word as quietly as she could. If Bec heard he would be at full attention and start looking for his Lady Love. Kida sighed. "It's adorable, don't get me wrong, but recently it's been incredibly frustrating. Very similar to what just happened to you, actually." Except Kida didn't rely on Bec for transportation.

"What?!" Zeph could feel his eyebrows wrinkling in their maximum extent as he tries to swallow that fact slowly in his head. He didn't even seem to get distracted by Kida's chair spins. "Y...You're joking.." A fire-lizard in love with the Weyr's alpha dragon? A singular chuckle escaped Zeph's throat, then after a brief pause, the rest of the chain of laughter erupted from him.
He took a glance to the fireplace for a moment, then turns back to Kida with a grin, like a normal guy expected to react after a crack like that. But with Zeph being abnormal, this is a rare sight to see. That's why the silver-haired quickly brings his fist on his lips and coughed, turning away from Kida and facing the busy barman like the man just called him.
"Does both Tyr and...her..know of this?" He had noticed how uncharacteristically low Kida's voice had been when she mentioned Orlith, so he doesn't take any chances. "That's...somewhat unusual but...jeez, that's hilarious." The last part of her words about Orphion and his -idiotic- love tale paused him.
"Hey, don't bring that up, that 'problem' is highly irritating." Of course it is, with Riders sharing a common 'sensation' with their respective dragons, and Orphion doing it every year, it's almost intolerable.

Kida couldn't help her reaction, she rolled her eyes. "Oh please, don't even try to complain to me about that--you're a guy." She sipped her drink and gave him a once over. "An attractive one at that. Women fall over themselves just for a chance to fawn over you like that drunk chick." she snickered, knowing that it would bug him.
"And yeah, Tyr and...she...are well aware. Bec will run off to find her and I have to chase him down. When I find him, he's perched on her shoulder, singing love songs for her." Kida had to chuckle and shake her head, remembering the first time they had all met. It didn't seem to bother Orlith very much, she seemed like she might even like it sometimes. Kida thought that Tyr was just as boggled as her to the behavior.
It wasn't exactly common, was it? "The heart wants what the heart wants...even that which is worst for it. Or, in this case, what doesn't quite fit for it." Kida shrugged her shoulder. Any dragon that attempted to court Orlith was going to end up with a lot of tiny bite marks all over them.

"Attractive..?" There was an unmistakable bewildered tone somewhere in his voice as Zeph scoffed slightly. "Well, then sorry to say that those women are stupid." He stated, clearly and sharply, "Thoughtful smarter women would go for the guy with more personality. Obviously, I'm not listed." He looked neither happy nor sad about it, but just simply hold that smug glint in his eyes.
"So...weird.." The element-wielder shook his head before glancing again at the fireplace. So now not only dragons, but fire-lizards are beyond of his understanding. Ryo better not be flirting with some other weird mythical species, he thought.
Somehow, that reminded him of his own brother. "Did you know Hikaru has a girlfriend who's half a cat?" Wait, that didn't sound right. "I mean, the girl has these...cat ears and cat tail." He never holds a general interest to Kimiko, but he still remembered the time when that cat-girl confessed right in front of him before she moved on to Hikaru.
That's when it hits him that Kida's sacred words about the heart is frighteningly correct, "...Then the heart has become something of a burden, if that's the case?"

"Are you calling me stupid?" Kida leveled her gaze on him. She, after all, had been the one to call him attractive. "If you don't see what's in the mirror, that's your problem. But you are Zeph. And you're the stupid one if you think otherwise."
"So there." she said and took a sip of her drink with a chuckle. "You've got a personality I'm sure, you're just not overly ....expressive. That's all." Kida nodded politely to the news that Hikaru had a girlfriend. She wasn't surprised really. Hikaru was adorable enough to attract the eyes of quite a few girls, Kida imagined, not to mention he had Zeph's looks.
And then, just as Kida had been about to take another sip, Zephel called the heart a burden. She slammed her cup back to the counter before it had quenched her thirst and didn't notice as a bit sloshed over the edge onto the bar. "No, no! Well, yeah, in some cases--but mostly no! You're twisting this around and taking it all wrong." she sighed.

"I didn't say that." Zeph flatly responded, then creased a brow down. "I also didn't say anything of how I look, either." Not that he had much thought of the issue. "I'm just trying to say that looks isn't everything." Surprisingly, that came out of last night's discussion with Hikaru in his dream. Well, it's a one-way discussion that is, with Hikaru doing all the talking, and Zeph busy rubbing his temples in pure annoyance. He can't believe he was listening to the idiot.
The silver-haired clicked his tongue of her statement on his 'hidden personality', not really wanting to go further on the topic and simply let out a silent "Tcheh." He stared down at the untouched glass that was supposed to be his, the dark liquid reflected his own face in his view. He smiled slightly that he managed to bring up Hikaru into this discussion. That would make the boy grinning from ear to ear tonight if Zeph decided to mention this.
Of course, that quiet calming atmosphere didn't last long. If it wasn't for his arms that he placed on the bar table, Zeph probably could fall off his stool at the sudden loud slamming of her glass, some of the liquid even splashed on his bare arm. Just for what? Being confused of the very reason for the heart to even exist?
"Gori-- ...Barman!" He called with an arm raised, almost calling out the 'gorilla-twin' nickname his mind had apparently set the barman with. While waiting for the barman to get to them with his wipecloth, Zeph turned to Kida. "Stop with the sudden--" His sentence was cut short when his eyes trailed to the corner of the room, right behind Kida.
His eyebrows creased almost immediately.

Wayne grinned, the stench of alcohol is evident the moment his lips parted. And part they are, right after he cornered a waitress to the corner of the wall. "What a cute catch I made.." He had placed an arm to block the waitress from escaping, and used his rather muscular figure to block the rest of the way out. The other arm is holding onto a half-finished alcohol bottle.
He could see her from a good angle if the waitress didn't use the tray she's holding to cover her chest. Wayne laughed, closing in onto her quick, and as expected, she screamed and tries to squirm and escape. Her squeal only make him more and more excited by the second.
"Like a prey...to the predator.."

Kida was scowling, waiting for what Zephel was going to say. "The sudden what?" When she realized he wasn't looking at her, but somewhere just beyond her--with a odd expression no less--Kida turned to see. What she saw sent all of her feminine rights instincts into over drive.
Without missing a beat she picked up her empty glass and in a single, fluid motion, chucked the it at the back the creep's head. Of course, being so far away it ended up hitting the wall next to both he and the waitress. I'm not missing next time, Bastard. "Back off, Asshole! Leave her alone!" If there was anything that Kida couldn't stand (and there were a lot of things) it was a man trying to take advantage of a woman. Kida was a die hard feminist, but that didn't mean that some women didn't need help with creeps like that. Not all girls had to be able to kick ass, but all men sure as hell needed to be able to keep their hands to themselves.
She slipped off her stool and crossed her arms. "Leave her alone. Now. Or you're going face first into a wall. And then the snow bank outside." The barman could charge her for the damage later. It would be worth it.

Of course, he expected that glass of hers will be flying off to the direction of the drunkard. Three years ago, if any situation similar to this happened right in front of Zephel, he would've gut him then and there. To him, it's a disgrace for his own kind, plus his obsession on personal space and respect reminds him that jerks similar to Anthony should be shot in broad daylight. That was three years ago.
Now, he still holds his personal belief, but it's not as easy to make him snap as three years ago. Zeph had quietened down a bit through the years, and would prefer a more silent approach on matters such as this. But with Kida yelling out threats, all eyes were on them already. Zeph sighed.
"Calm down, Kida. You don't need to trash this place just because of one idiot." The silver-haired got up from his stool and pats Kida on her shoulder, before calmly walking right towards the pervert. "Hey, idiot, would you mind not causing a scene here, you're annoying every--" Zeph didn't even get to finish his sentence when that man suddenly lunged right at him.
Zephel scowled, easily dodging every punch the drunkard tries to hit him with. But Zeph forgot one thing. He's drunk, and his hits are unexpected. It didn't take long for Zeph to realize that there's a wine bottle shoved right in his mouth before he could react, and the alcohol flowed down, right into his throat.

It startled Wayne to hear a deafening yell from the other corner of the bar, followed by a noise of some glass shattering behind him. He turned his attention towards the direction of that interruption, though still holding the waitress trapped. "Oh yeah? And why should I listen..or even BELIEVE your threat, dollface?" His breath wreaks alcohol even from the distance. The woman who threatened him is hot alright, but Wayne didn't held much interest in loud ladies.
Wayne only felt slightly threatened when a tall man approached him, trying to converse him into letting his prey go. He gritted his teeth, and without much thought, charge into this grey-haired bastard. It annoys Wayne to high hell that the guy managed to evade each of his hits...that is until he remembered there's a half-finished wine bottle in his other grip.
"Why don't you take a DRINK for a change?!" Wayne first aimed to just smash the bottle to this guy's head, but since the man's too tall, Wayne somehow ended up shoving the uncorked bottle into his opponent's mouth. That stopped the guy, to Wayne's delight, then upon seeing his prey had escaped, the drunkard frowned before turning to Kida.
"I guess you would have to do, loud-mouthed old hag."

Twitch.
"Hag?" Kida ground through her teeth. Loud though she might have been, particularly at that moment since she'd had more than one drink, she'd carve his face into a Picasso before she let him call her a hag one more time.
"That does it, you little prick. You brought this upon yourself." Kida charged and gave the drunk a firm round house kick to the face. He was dunk, while she was barely buzzed so it was more than enough for the creep. If the guy could manage to stand after that Kida would beat him into oblivion with cheer. If not for her own revenge, then for Zephel's.
She had no idea exactly what had just happened when the drunk had shoved the bottle at Zeph, but she didn't think it could bring any good. Considering Zeph didn't drink and she didn't know just what kind of liquor was in the bottle. The guy sure reeked of it though.

As the drunk man fell and was knocked unconscious by Kida, another drunk man rose, an empty wine bottle slips his lips and crashed into pieces on the floor. Zeph stood motionless there for a moment, letting silence dawned on the scene as everybody had their eyes on him, almost waiting for him to react.
Hiccup.
Zephel started swaying to the left, but then caught his balance, before swaying to the back, and falls back completely. Another moment of silence, before the man twitched, and surprisingly...
"Heh heh..... hahaHAHAHAH! GYAHAHAHAHAH! HAHAH!!"

With the drunk taken care of and the waitress safe, off wherever she was, Kida was dusting off her hands. So much for that problem. She had just about turned and gone back to the bar when she remembered (the drunk had pissed her off so much she'd forgotten) that Zephel was down for the count on the floor. Or so she thought.
Turning around, preparing for another round of Carry-the-Zephel-Like-a-Sack-of-Potatoes, Kida was more than shocked to Zephel moving. She had thought that he was knocked out by that wine bottle to the head but apparently not.
Then he laughed and it was so incredibly out of character for Zephel that Kida felt a chill go down her spine. "Zephel.....?"
