Little girls, little boys and little dragons?

[slayers_desire]

April still had her mind on Zara and the possibility of introducing a hatchling (or more) to their little family. She knew that since helping train Zara herself, April had wanted a dragon of her own. It would be a little easier now, since the children were old enough for responsibilities.

But of course, it was important to talk to Clark first.

And so she waited for him to come home, taking the time to work on an art project as she did.

Coming home to April working on art is something Clark is incredibly used to, after their years of marriage. He puts away his briefcase and takes off his tie before coming up behind her and putting his arms around her, kissing her cheek. "Beautiful as always."

[slayers_desire]

"Why thank you." April turned slightly to wrap her arms around him. It didn't matter if he was talking about her or the artwork. The statement applied both ways and it was flattering.

"How are you, handsome?"

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"Glad to be home. It's been a long day. And this house is suspiciously quiet right now," he says with a smile.

[slayers_desire]

"Well two of the children are working on school work, and the third is often quiet." April could tell that the quiet was not suspicious without leaving the room because of her psychic senses.

"Why, do you miss the chaos?"

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"Hey, you can never be too careful when it comes to kids." He can tell there's something she's holding back, although it doesn't feel like bad news.

[slayers_desire]

"It is nice to see them getting more independent. They still need us, but they each have their own personalities."

"And, now they are older... I was wondering if I could get a pet. A Dragon, like Zara."

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"You want a fire-lizard?"

[slayers_desire]

"I would. What do you think?"

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"Well you know you don't need my permission. But would you need to hide it? Zara's been trained to stay out of sight of strangers, but there's no guarantee another one would learn that, right?"

[slayers_desire]

"I would imagine it would come down to training another."

[kalel_ofkrypton]

He nods slowly. "What about the kids?"

[slayers_desire]

"They could help. It would be a little different than training a dog... but all the same."

"And maybe when they get older and they want their own..."

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"They might find it hard to wait."

[slayers_desire]

"We could ask for more than one."

[kalel_ofkrypton]

He chuckles a little. "I'm not sure that'd be the best move. It'll help teach them patience, I guess. Having four fire-lizards might be a bit... hectic, especially without a trained one to teach them by example."

[slayers_desire]

"It doesn't have to be four. But you do have a valid point."

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"It'd be the only way to make it fair... they can only bond to one person, right?"

[slayers_desire]

"That is right. But my point is, that for Will who is still too young. And he could wait until he is older."

[kalel_ofkrypton]

He smiles a little. "Let's start with one and see how that goes."

[slayers_desire]

"I appreciate that." April wraps her arms around his neck. "And I didn't even have to seduce you."

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"Well, you don't have to, but that doesn't mean you still can't."

[slayers_desire]

She kisses him lightly. And ran her hands up his back. "Good... but I am afraid I spilled my evil plans."

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"Evil, huh?" he says, and gives her a kiss.

[slayers_desire]

"Or just a little naughty." April she nuzzles him, after returning the kiss.

[kalel_ofkrypton]

"That's quite a difference," he teases her.
