"My cousin is practically a ninja! He can do kicks and things and run up walls and everything! He taught me how to climb up door frames!" But that was about all she'd managed as far as all that went, mostly because she lacked the discipline to practice and get better in something that was only a whim to begin with. "You don't have to worry anyway because I won't do dumb things that get you fired, I'd pretend like it was just me if it went bad." She informed him loyally. Co-conspirators, they were.

She was balancing pretty good with him steadying her feet and Char looked down and gasped. TEN?

"I really am twelve! Really!" Practically grown up! So what if her height hadn't quite realized it yet. And besides, it wasn't that bad being small because people always thought that you were innocent and couldn't possibly be up to no good and you never knew when you might need to use that to your advantage.

The 'children as treasure' thing got the look it deserved. "I mean things that would be treasure to everyone. Some people think children are pests you know!" Obviously not him! And she wasn't one! Nobody could think that about her, just OTHER children probably.

She tilted her head to one side and considered this chocolate thing.

"Okay..... but its weird that its specifically chocolate that we can't have, like instead of food in general. I have to admit it KIND of makes me want chocolate even more!" JUST being honest. "Is all that the REAL reason why no chocolate though or do you just not like it?" Out of curiosity. "Has anyone ever relied on chocolate too much and DIED?" She wanted to know EVERYTHING behind this one rule. It was SO INTERESTING.

Char gripped the dragon's mouth. IT WAS TIME.

"That's when you say sorry." Smooth, Sabel. Real smooth. But really, what other advice could you give to such a question? There wasn't much. Aside from saying don't do anything foolish, and well, he knew that wasn't even a remote possibility. "And you have a 'Foolish Plan Backup', in case foolishness sneaks up on you."

As for learning, Sabel tilted his head back and considered the dragon maw of a mouth above them. "Teaching is what I'm here for. You know, besides shoving children inside the bellies of dragons." Priorities of course. "Your cousin sounds like a good source though. Evasion techniques are quite handy-dandy."

Really, even he wanted to know who to run up walls. Wasn't really his forte.

A frown worked its way across his expression at her determination to get him off the hook. "That's very adult of you. I now believe you are twelve." Really, what kid would take the rap for something bad they were both involved in? "But I don't want you taking the flack for my actions. Very noble, but also unfair. I'm a grown up, I can handle the heat."

And with that, he made sure she was steady and raised up on his tipetoes, lifting her slightly so she could reach the dragon's mouth. Really, he was a complete adult. As long as no one walked in the door at that moment.

Still, the laughter that came from him didn't do much for secrecy. "Pests. Really? Where'd you hear that?" Her mother no doubt. He laughed again. "Suppose, but once you have a pest for long enough it becomes like a treasure. Hard to live without all the irritating tendencies."

So yes, he did believe children were treasures, in their own ways. "Can you get it? Or into it, rather?" Or did he have to shrink her too?

As for the chocolate thing, he really didn't understand what was up with the kids. "See? You wouldn't ask that of an apple, would you? No, because very few people are dependent on apples. Chocolate is a dependency, that replaces other things. Things like focus, and trained thoughts. Can't really be self reliant and resourceful if you want chocolate to solve all your problems and stabilize your emotions. I'm sure there's been someone, somewhere that has died either because of chocolate, or because of a distraction caused by it. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory ringing any bells?"

Did she see? Probably not.

"And of course I like chocolate. I have to. My wife does."
