"What for?" she asked just as a fish nibbled on the hook. She whipped it out of the water and caught it with her hands. It flailed a bit, but it wasn't hard to grip it and rip the hook out of it's mouth.
"Girls just get in the way." What she really meant was that people just got in the way, but substituting the two words made it fit more for the conversation.

"Get in the way of what?" Edaniel asked, confused. Unlike Bo, he wasn't on a lifelong quest to die alone, so he didn't see how anyone got in the way of anything without actively trying to. After all, if one of his goals was to get a girlfriend, how would a girl get in the way of that? Bo was strange sometimes.

"Of this!" she said, indicating the woods and the fresh air around them. "If there was, like, a girl, with us here, d'you think it would be half as fun? Half as peaceful?" Heck, the peaceful had already been cut in half once Edaniel had shown up, adding someone else to the mix would just shoot it out.
"I just don't get how a girl would make anything better, honestly."

"I don't know why a girl would automatically make things less peaceful," Edaniel replied, totally confused by Bo's weird reasoning. (Imagine how confused he'd be if he knew Bo was a girl and saying these things.) "So you don't want a girlfriend at all, huh..." He paused for a second, until it hit him. "D'you like boys then?" he asked innocently.

"What?" Bo asked, her eyes growing wide for a second. "No! What the hell, Edaniel?" she asked, a little angry.
"I'm just like, asexual or something," she said, trying to make up a feasible excuse. "And you know I don't like noise. I don't like being around people, I don't want to be surrounded by them." One person was definitely enough, especially when that one person was Edaniel.

"You like being around me," Edaniel replied. They were friends. Best friends, weren't they? Sometimes when Bo said stuff like that, it got Edaniel a little worried that he didn't really like him, and was only tolerating him because he felt bad or something. "Don't you?" he had to ask.
Of course, he wasn't saying their relationship was anything other than platonic. He had already moved past the subject of Bo's sexuality and now just wanted the reassurance that they were indeed real friends. It wasn't the first, and probably wouldn't be the last time he'd ask.

"God, of course I do," Bo said, annoyed. She hated admitting that, but for whatever reason she also hated it when Edaniel looked sad. "You think I'd let you stay around if I didn't like you?" she asked fitfully.
She grabbed into her bag and pulled out some matches, striking up a fire for her fish. She hated talking about feelings and this was straying dangerously close into that area. "Come sit here with me so that I have something to do," she muttered. She didn't want Edaniel wandering off and leaving her here alone and she'd grown strangely fond of his babbling over nothing. As long as it didn't involve feelings, of course.

Edaniel shrugged, sort of half-smiling a little but now that he felt reassured. Bo did seem like the type who, if he didn't like someone, would just tell them to get lost. And he'd never told Edaniel that, so that was a good sign, right?
"Okay!" he agreed, getting to his feet. "Hold on a sec though..." He ran over to where his clothes were laying and pulled them back on. Then he ran over and sat by Bo, ever so happy to be close to his friend. "You know," he said, watching him cook the fish, "I'm glad I don't turn into a fish."

Bo thought about that as she stabbed her own fish onto a stake and held it over the flames. "Yeah, that would suck, huh?" she said, imagining what a fish kid would act like. Probably more calm then a mongoose one.
"Hey, Edaniel," she said, flipping the fish. "What sort of animal do you think I'd be if I had been in Saelin?" Bo knew there was some sort of science to the whole form thing, but she wasn't sure what the exact things were. It's too bad her eyes hadn't turned purple, if they had she wouldn't have to guess, she'd just know.

"Hm...." Edaniel hmmed thoughtfully, looking at Bo very closely as if the answer were written on his face. "You act kind of tough and aloof. Maybe like...a bobcat, or something. Some kind of small wildcat." Edaniel could only see Bo as something with sharp teeth and claws, not too big, and definitely something that didn't live in packs. Bobcat seemed right to him.

"Huh." She finished cooking the fish and pulled it out of the fire, looking at it to make sure it was done. "I guess I could live with that," she said, deciding the fish was done and leaning back against her rock.
"I'd take a bobcat over a mongoose any day," she teased.

Edaniel pouted and stuck his tongue out at Bo. "I'd take a mongoose over a dragon rider," he retorted. He knew Bo was just teasing, and so was he, but there was some truth in that. He was so glad he wasn't a dragon rider. And he liked being a mongoose. "'Sides, mongooses are cuter."

Bo couldn't help but smile at Edaniel's cute little pout. "You're hopeless," she muttered with a laugh, shaking her head and looking down at her fish. He was so adorable it made her sick sometimes.
Over the weeks she'd had the egg Bo had actually gotten a little use to the idea of being a dragon rider. It wasn't like she now had this longing to be one, but it didn't aggravate her as much as it once had. Speaking of the egg...
"Hey, Edaniel, can you hand me my bag?" she asked.

"Sure," Edaniel replied agreeably. With some effort, he hoisted the heavy bag over to Bo. That dragon egg was freaking heavy. "I can't believe you've been carrying that thing around for so long," he commented, handing it over.

"It's not that bad," Bo said, propping her fishing pole up against the rock and taking the bag from Edaniel. "I wish this sucker would hatch already though." Even though she didn't think the egg wasn't super heavy, she was still getting tired of lugging it around everywhere.
"What do you think it'll look like?" she asked. She honestly had no idea and it was something she'd been wondering about for a while.
