Knowing Zelia's was not keen on going into her past, Trex kept an eye on her ready to cut in if Sanders kept pressing. Thankfully, his older brother either picked up the subtle change or got sidetracked - something that happened fairly frequently.

Raising an eyebrow at the "brothers" statement, Sanders did not comment. The look quickly changed and his eyes twinkled. "Another girl huh? Wow." He looked at Trex. "I'm amazed little brother. You are on a team with two females. How are you able to survive?" 

"I manage." Trex replied dryly.

Sanders grinned and looked at Zelia. "He's always been a bit of a shy guy. Not seeming to show interest in girls. In fact, he usually avoided them if he could. Tongue tied and shy." He stated. The smile faded and his expression changed to one that showed that he was a little impressed. "You must have been pretty persistent to get him to work with you."

Trex cleared his throat and glanced slightly away. Yeah. Though he would probably use a different word. She was more tenacious, determined, relentless than just plain persistent. Besides, originally it was more the Master's order than hers.

"Enough about us." Trex declared. "How's life around here?" He inquired. They wouldn't have a lot of time before having to head back. Bodo's dragon slayer needed to be found and Flynn and Skye could be heading back any day."

Sanders shrugged. "Not much, really." He began to fill them in in the happenings. Farm life was not really the most exciting for some people so he only touched on the positive, more fun things. The new colt, the litter of kittens. He refrained from talking about the crops and the potential drought. Not only would it strain the mood but it was not something that was discussed with guests around. Trex was family but Zelia, despite being such a nice, caring person and all, was not. And it did not matter what person the guest was, you never burdened others with family matters.

Knowing there was more to it than what Sanders was letting on, Trex just nodded and smiled. He knew that last year had been a bad one and that this year was looking to be just as bad. That meant things would be getting rough here. Trex had heard some things in the market. However, most of it had been snatches here and there. He would have to check with Sanders after Zelia went to bed. Get the full story. Despite the fact he was not going to be a farmer, what happened on this farm meant a lot to him. And if there was a way he could help, he would. This was home and no matter where he was or what he was doing he will always look back at this place.
