Spoiled

[Teragon]

"Ugh! That's hideous!" the currently mint-haired Teragon snuffed, shoving the offending shirt away from him. "Honestly, aren't there any decent shops around here anymore?"

"Sir, if you'd like...we have some other garments over this way---" began the salesman, before he was rudely cut off with the harsh snap! of Teragon's gloved palm against his face.

"Don't even speak with me. You're lucky I even decided to set foot in this..." he paused, looking around as his lip curled a bit. "'shop'." He turned on his heel and started out the door, placing his wide-brimmed hat atop his head to protect his skin from the sunlight. "Brother, let's go."

Gio sighed as he followed his youngest sibling out. "Really Tera, you're such a brat sometimes. In fact, I think that shirt was perfectly acceptable." he scolded lightly.

"If you're poor and desperate it is." he snapped.

His brother just laughed lightly and pat the boy's covered head.

[Riley]

((Is this okay?))

Riley's light brown tail swayed from side to side lazily, watching people go by from his safe spot in an alley. Presently, he was in his panther form. He liked his panther forn, no one stared at him... as much... when he was a cat. Plus, he had better eyesite. Which helped when he was trying to find easy prey.

For money, not to eat! Sillies. He needed money so he could buy food, he was starving. He hadn't had food in three days and couldn't find a place to steal any. So he decided to just "borrow" money from strangers instead.

Some one a little ways away caught his attention. It was a boy with mint green hair and a wide rimmed hat. The hat was huge. Wow. The guy was pretty nice looking, he had to admit. Without realizing it at first, he began to prance over to the mint haired boy. His chocolate eyes wandered to his waist, where he saw a little pouch. Money he thought hopefully and changed into his human form.

So now he was a young man with short light brown hair and tight, black clothes. Well, they weren't all black. He had a tan vest with white fur on the inside. When he reached his prey, he discreetly reached out and grabbed the pouch. But... it didn't come off like it was supposed to! So, now the boy and his companion were staring at him. Oops.

[Teragon]

(Perfectly alright *^^*)

Teragon sneered and pulled himself away from the obvious thief, as if the hand that had been clutched about his money's pouch had been on fire. Zerca he felt dirty as he ripped the purse from his hip and threw it at the ground, throwing a fit as he threw his gloves off as well, squealing all the while like some type of injured child.

Gio, on the other hand, much calmer than his sibling merely reached out and grabbed the boy's arm, his grip iron-like. "Having fun???" he hissed. "Or were you aiming for something else other than my brother's well-deserved money???"

[Riley]

Riley's eyes widened, startled at the mint haired boy's reaction. He was spazzing out! Jeez, everyone was staring. Oh well, he stopped looking at the spaz-guy and studied his supposed brother. "No," he said quietly. He tried to get away from the man's grip, but he wasn't strong enough. "Le'me go!" he grumbled.

[Teragon]

His grip tightened. "And let you off so easily??" he let out a half-lafe. "I don't think so. Tera, will you knock it off already!?"

"What??? No! He touched me! I can't believe he touched me!! I'll have to burn my clothes when we get home!! This outfit was a girft from Jeve`! How will I explain it!!" His fists clenched. "Gio, you'd best knock him good!! Rip him up! Pull his whiskers out!! Cut off hit tail! Do something! Don't just stand there and hold his arm like an idiot!! For Zerca's sake! He touched me!!!"

"What a brat..."

[Riley]

Riley had to agree with Gio's comment. This Tera was a real brat. He hadn't even really touched him! Just the silly money pouch. But his suggestion were making him kind of... troubled. Would the guy actually do all that? He wasn't sure if he could fight him, he was pretty stong. And if he wasn't mistaken, a bruise was forming on his arm. Right over the replica of Wolf's tattoo!

The theif stomped on Gio's foot, but it didn't seem to do much. "Le' go!" he hissed. "Stupid man.... I didn't even touch the prick!" he argued, not thinking it would really help. But it was a try!

[Teragon]

"Prick?!??!" Teragon's voice shrilled. "That's it! I'll do it myself! I'll castrate him, so help me!"

Gio's eye twitched, and he tried not to laugh. "Tera, you don't even come within a foot of our parents if they haven't just bathed. Besides, you'd break a nail."

The younger's mouth gaped like a fish before snapping shut.

"Exactly."

He huffed. "I'm going home. Mess with your stupid little...street rat all you want!" With that he turned on his heel and marched off.

"Idiot..he'll go an get lost." He looked down at the thief. "You know...now that I think about it...you're too small to be worth the trouble of grinding into the ground." He released his arm. "I'll let you off, I guess."

[Riley]

Riley glared, rubbing his arm. "I'm not small!" he argued. "Look, ya went and gived me a bruise! The least ya could do is give a nice warm meal, right?" he commanded, sucking up his pride and trying to look pathetic. Hey, he was starving! Three days is a long time to go without food; especially when the food he had eaten was small in proportion. "It's the proper thing ta do, ain't it? Especially when you up and accuse me of touching your stu- your brother. I'm not some low down... molesta, you know," he continued.

[Teragon]

He rolled his eyes and scooped up his brother's purse and gloves. "I'm not going to give you any sympathy." He stared down at him again and sighed, rubbing the birdge of his nose. "But I've no doubt one of my brothers will. If not, my father probably will. He's a sucker for street-things like you."

He turned and began walking in the direction his brother had gone. "I guess you can come along. But don't blame me when Tera starts throwing a tantrum."

[Riley]

Riley smirked and calmly walked beside Gio. "Aw, tantrum's don't do no harm," he said. "They're just annoyin'. Are your other brothers like that? Spazzy? I 'ope not. It'd be a real shame for ya to have ta live through that every day, ya know? I mean, one is ok. But more than one can get annoying I'll bet."

The brunette looked around cautiously. Some people were still looking at him. He gave one elderly man who looked pretty stuck up a weird look before glancing ahead of him again. "So you're name is Gio?" he asked. "My name is Riley, if it in'rests you."

[Teragon]

"Whatever. Try to kncok it off with the drawl, kiddo. You sound like no one taught you how to talk right." he scolded.

In no time, they arrived at a house that could only be described as 'Overly large'. The doors themselves seemed to be twice as tall as Gio.

But before he even opened the doors, he shoved the purse and gloves into Riley's hands. "The least you can do if you want food is to apalogize to Tera. He's probably in the sitting room watching his clothes burn while he whines to Jeve`. Just go through the door to your left when you go inside." With that, he swung open the doors and shoved him inside.

[Riley]

Riley stared up at the house... more like a castle, he believed... in wonderment. It was so huge! Gio's comment about his speech was quickly forgotten when he saw the place. He was still looking around in a daze when the purse and gloves were shoved into his hands.

"The least you can do if you want food is to apalogize to Tera. He's probably in the sitting room watching his clothes burn while he whines to Jeve`. Just go through the door to your left when you go inside," Gio said before shoving him inside through the open doors.

The young man grumbled to himself while he followed the man's directions. "What's it matter if I 'pologize? He'll just want to burn everything.... I wonder if he's a pyro," muttered. He turned and saw Tera with some other person.

"Uh... Yo!" he said loudly, getting their attention. "I mean... hey. I just want ta... I mean, wanted to... apologize for tryin' to take your money," he said slowly, getting used to trying to say the words correctly. "And that you shouldn't burn those clothes, 'cause they are real nice. And I didn't touch them and.... I'm sorry for trying to borrow your money from you," he finished awkwardly, offering the purse and gloves to Tera even though he knew he wouldn't accept them.

[Teragon]

Riley was correct in his asumption that Tera wouldn't accept them. He turned his nose up at the offered items and turned his back to him, face red.

"He's absolutely adorable!!!!!" cried the other man, snatching up the gloves and purse before placing them on the mantle. He turned back to the boy and smiled birghtly. "You have the oddest way of speaking, it's precious. Oh!" he caught himself. "I'm sorry. I'm Jeve`. I take it you're the 'dirty lecher' that my dear Tera spoke to me about? Speaking of Tera...I know he seems a little childish, but we did ruin him a bit...him being so cute and all. He tends to blow thing out of proportion now and then because of it, I think. Oh, and you're simply adorable! Dirty but very handsome. You look simply starved though--"

"Jeve`, you're rambling. Don't talk to that....thing either. You don't know where it's been..." snapped Tera.

"Oh nonesense!" he blushed. "Anyway!" He clapped his hands. "Let's not see if I can find you something to eat, your poor corpse! In fact, you sit and rest and I'll bring it right to you! How adorable it'll be! Me bringing you something, on a silver tray too! Something hot! And a lot of it too..." his voice faded as he left the room, still talking with himself.

Tera simply kicked the boot he was wearing earlier into the flames. "Rambling idiot..."

[Riley]

Riley watched the rambling hyper man leave, slightly scared for his life. Well, as long as Jeve' didn't try to dress him up in some rich guy clothes, he'd be alright. Hey, the guy was bringing him hot food! He deserved some credit. "Ya know, those boots coulda lasted... um... could have lasted years. Why did you have to go and burn them? I weren't anywhere near your feet! Little brat," he muttered, looking away.

"Is Jeve' your brother?" he asked after a moment of awkward silence. "He seems perdy nice for a brother." He looked over at Tera, hoping, for some reason, that he would answer him.

[Teragon]

"Yes." he mumbled, arms still folded and brooding. "And he's mated, so don't try anything!" he added quickly. He wasn't sure if poor people could tell if someone was mated or not. He didn't even know if poor people could count using their fingers and toes.
