(You're right!! Let's hope this one really does, rping with you is fun ^w^)
Sebastian sighed a little, understanding.
"We'll be in and out before you know it." With that, he knocked on the door.
"Coming!" The landlord yelled from inside, jostling things about as he made his way to the door. He was a larger man, and quite… extroverted. He loved to ramble. Still, he was nice.

(^w^ Awww thanks!! RPing with you is pretty fun too!)
Rykah flinched back at the loud yell from within, mentally preparing himself for this, his ears already flat against his head with anxiety.
group
Sebastian glanced over at Rykah and saw how anxious he looked, taking a half-step forward so he was more in between Rykah and the door, almost like he was acting as a shield. The door finally opened.
"Sebastian, Rykah! My two favorite tenants. What brings you here?" The man was grinning widely, his shirt just barely covering his torso. He wasn't fat, but he obviously thought he was more fit than he actually was.
"Just stopping in to register new pets," Sebastian said calmly.

Rykah forced himself not to move back out of sight, grateful for Sebastian's forwardness as this was exactly why he hadn't done it himself.
flash_on
(Omg that's exactly what I was thinking for the landlord…)
group
(Oh wow XD)
"I see. Well, how many this time?" The man asked with a smile. Even when he wasn't yelling, the man's voice was loud.
"Um… seven." The landlord blinked a few times, a little shocked for a moment, but then he was right back to talking.
"Wouldn't expect anything else out of you boys. Let's have looksy." The man stepped forward, smiling as he patted Sugar and Viola's heads before turning to Rykah to look at the ones he was holding.
flash_on
Rykah had Ying, Lazuli, Jade, and Sunshine nestled into his grip, and he frowned a little, "Sebastian.. where did Yang go?" he asked, noting that Seb wasnt holding the white dragonet.
group
Sebastian's eyebrows furrowed a little.
"Oh for the love of- look, I'm going to go find him, I'll be back in a sec. Rykah, could you help?" He knew it wasn't the best idea to leave Rykah alone with the landlord, so he wanted to make sure he had a way to get out of it. The landlord looked between the two, speaking up.
"I'll help too. Can't have a dragon running loose."
flash_on
Rykah nodded, "I can take the other dragonets.." he said softly, reaching for Sugar and Viola.
group
Sebastian held them out, Sugar happily going over. Viola, however, climbed up Sebastian's arm and to the top of his head, clinging to his hair. Sebastian tried to untangle her, but she held fast. He sighed in defeat, the landlord laughing loudly.
"I think Viola's sticking with me," he said.
flash_on
Rykah nodded, unable to help a small smile, "She really likes you." he murmured, tail flicking abit more cheerfully as Sugar perched herself on his shoulder.
group
"Yeah…" Sebastian gave a defeated sigh, but he was smiling a little.
"Is it alright if you look down that end of the hall?" Sebastian asked of the landlord, pointing in the opposite direction of Sebastian and Rykah's apartment.
"Rykah and I will look the other way. He's a white dragonet." Anything to make sure Rykah wasn't alone with the landlord.
"Of course, kiddo!" The man said, taking off. Sebastian turned to Rykah.
"I still don't know how he got away from me," he mumbled.
flash_on
Rykah nodded, "I'm sure we'll find him.." he said softly, grateful the landlord had disappeared elsewere as he started searching, careful to make sure he didn't lose any other dragonets.
group
Sebastian walked with Rykah, checking in plants, behind things, most anywhere a tiny dragon could hide. Eventually, he came out triumphantly holding the missing dragonet in his hands.
"Found him!" He said, mindful to keep his voice down to not startle Rykah.
flash_on
Rykah perked up as soon as the other said something, "Yay!" Give him to me and I'll take them back to the apartment."
group
Sebastian handed Yang over, smiling.
"While you do that I'll finish up the paperwork with the landlord." He reached up, patting Viola's head lightly. She was still secured in his hair, but since he wasn't trying to take her away she had relaxed. All said if the dragonets with Rykah were squirming, crawling all over.
flash_on
Rykah smiled, taking the other six dragonets back to the apartment quietly, leaving Sebastian to take care of the landlord.
flash_on
(Sorry for leaving you… I tend to ignore open forum roleplays a little more on the weekends, especially when I have homework.)
group
(I understand, I usually do that too)
Sebastian talked with the landlord, filling out the needed paperwork before coming back to the apartment. He opened the door, not smiling but not frowning.
"All settled," he said, closing the door.
flash_on
(Thank god, I was worried you'd think this was dying.)
Rykah smiled cuddling all six of the remaining dragonets on the couch, smiling.
group
(Nah, it's too soon for that XD)
Sebastian shook his head a little, a small smile on his face. He managed to get Viola to let go of his hair, holding her in his hands as he walked over and sat down next to Rykah.
"You're extremely happy with this, aren't you."
flash_on
"Yes!" said Rykah softly, cooing at Lazuli who had nestled into his hoodie pocket.
group
Sebastian chuckled. Viola looked up at him, then went over to Rykah to play with a couple of her siblings.
"So, what do dragonets eat, anyway?"
flash_on
"Berries mostly…" said Rykah softly, "Also nuts, grubs, and bits of meat…. almost anything really…"
group
"Okay then, so it'll be easy for us- you to take care of them." Sebastian crossed his leg, prompting Viola and Jade to scramble over to him to see what was going on.
flash_on
Rykah nodded, a little distracted by Sugar's efforts to nom on his tail.
group
Sebastian chuckled softly despite himself, scooping Viola and Jade up in one arm.
"Are you sure we're gonna be able to handle all of these dragonets?"
flash_on
"They can't be that bad!" said Rykah softly, hugging Ying.
group
"Rykah, they are seven balls of utter chaos." It wasn't long before Sebastian heard a box fall to the ground. Sunshine had sneaked off, and had found the box to his new figurine.
flash_on
Rykah's ears twitched when he heard the box fall, "So we train them?" he suggested.
