City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

"I've seen that done!"

Ele said excitedly, clapping her hands together and bouncing on her toes,

"It looks so cool! And its such a fast way to cover a surface!"

Examining the car closer, Ele smiled,

"We gonna paint it?"

Following Tyler in, Ele wandered around the room looking at the different things. Keeping her hands to herself, she admired the projects and the time that Tyler took with them. Hearing Tyler, Ele joined him to see the dragster,

"Are you going to keep it white?"

"Oh, so the store isn't a big enough toy room?"

Ele teased, going across the hall and looking in when Tyler opened the door. It certainly did seem like a room Tyler would have, all filled with his hobby,

"So what're you going to do when you do finally meet a woman and have a kid? Which room goes, the reptile room or the toys? Please say the toys, because if you get rid of the animals my respect for you will plummet to the negatives."

Watching Moxt Ir make short work of the pinkie was certainly a sight to see. There was a moment that Ele felt bad for the tiny thing, but she reminded herself that it was the way nature worked.

Looking up at Tyler, Ele raised an eyebrow and two fingers,

"Number one: How many rooms does this fluffing house have? Number two: Please don't tell me this is a 50 Shades of Grey "toy room" because that is weird and where I draw a hard line of NOPE."

"Coming!"

Ele called from the laundry room as she finished the fruit and made her way back to the reptile room. Carefully opening the door again, Ele stepped over Tico,

"Pardon me, sir."

Placing the dish of fruit on a shelf, Ele nodded to Tyler,

"Okie dokie."

"The pinkie I don't mind, snakes eat those too... But worms..."

Shuddering, Ele shook her head and stuck her tongue out, making a face. Going to the door, Ele gently bent and pulled Slim away so she could let herself out,

"I will prepare the fruit salad, be right back!"

City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

"Umm... Sure. I have no idea what that means."

Taking her hand back and taking a small step away from Tyler, Ele waited for him to show her what to do.

"One to see if its safe, two for a taste, three to commit to memory."

Giving a shrug, Ele kept petting until the little dragon until she closed her eyes and looked like she was incredibly happy and relaxed,

"How long does it you usually take to name a new pet? I've never had any pet before, so its all new for me."

City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

"Maybe you will be."

Ele said quietly, watching as Tyler took out his bearded dragon. She smiled and reached out to stroke the little thing,

"She's super cute. How come you haven't named the carpet python?"

Ele was taking deep breaths, keeping herself calm. It was taking a lot for her to be in this small room, and to be standing next to a man. The animals were helping her though, distracting her and giving her something to talk about.

As Tico slithered down her, Ele rotated as his coils moved around her. She couldn't help but laugh as finally Tico released her to move around the room. Watching Slim, Ele smiled genuinely, the smile reaching her eyes and making them sparkle,

"That was fun!"

She said in between giggles, moving to stand next to Tyler again, feeling a little braver. Tyler was safe, Ele told herself,

"I don't usually get close to people. I have one person, but that's it."
