Dimitri was a bit distant and lost in thought, thinking about who his cousin's lover could have been in league with. He was going through the motions of preparing to leave, but his mind wasn't in it. It wasn't until Derrick tugged on Dimitri's pant leg that he was brought back to reality. He blinked a couple times before registering things. He gave Derrick a smile before going to pick the bag back up and heading out the front door.
Jaime curled into Darren's arm as the got up and walked down the last of the stairs. All he could do was nod in agreement with the other's comment.

Darren spoke up as they reached the outside. "Can you drive Dimitri? If not, I can drive us all to Jaime's house, or one of us can take Derrick's truck as well if you wanted it at Jaime's place." He felt a little odd calling it Jaime's place now that Derrick was in the picture, but at present, it was the only way he had to refer to it.
Derrick glanced back towards the house, he knew where the spare key was if necessary. "We don't need anything from the house, and Ly-..Giamonde won't be needing anything human again, so we may as well take the truck." he seemed certain that Giamonde would not earn his way out of being a turtle.
Giamonde heard the comment from inside the box but didn't reply, resigning himself to his own thoughts.

"I've seen it done, but perhaps you should drive, if its alright," Dimitri said. He tossed one of the bags in the bed of the truck before opening the door for Derrick. He waited for the other to jump in before he would get in, just in case Derrick needed help.
Jaime nodded. "I'll drive Sh...the mustang...if its alright. I can drive a stick shift, but I've never driven one on the column," he said.

Darren chuckled, "Fine by me." At Jaime's words, he grinned and ruffled the other's hair, "Don't lie, Jam. You know just wanna take Sheila for a ride." he teased with a wink. He looked to Derrick, who pointed out the pocket with the truck keys and he picked them up as he headed to the truck. On the way, he stood so that Jaime was not in view as he pressed a soft kiss to Jaime's forehead and murmured, "Love you," with a smile before putting his keys in Jaime's hand and going to the truck, going into the driver's seat and starting the ignition.
Derrick watched as the door opened and he looked up at his truck for a moment, and then he jumped up, scrabbling and ending up on the floor boards, but inside at least. Then he moved to the center console, before hopping up into the middle. He grinned doggishly at Dimitri, "I think I'm getting the hang of this." Derrick seemed pleased rather than upset, although it would have been nice to be human and dangle his turtlish father by the tail. As it was, his clawed paws were looking awfully intriguing.

Jaime smirked a bit when Darren teased him about wanting to drive his car. "I love you, too," Jaime replied with a smile. He hated leaving Darren, even if it was just for a short time. Hurrying over to Darren's car, Jaime slid in the front seat, having to move the seat far forward. He started the car up and waited for the truck to be ready to go before he would pull out and lead the way home.
Dimitri smiled and nodded at Derrick's comment. "Good to hear," he said. "But with any luck you won't have to deal with it long." He set the box with the turtle next to Derrick on the center of the bench seat.

Darren started the car once everyone was settled, and he waited until Jaime had pulled out before following, noticing with a smile Derrick and Dimitri's behavior. And missing Jaime all the more for it.
Derrick watched as the box was set down, and he stared at it for a moment before moving over and climbing onto Dimitri's lap. His father would need water soon, and he couldn't find it in himself to want it to be denied to Ly-Giamonde. He didn't want anyone to be a murderer on Giamonde's account. Derrick looked up at Dimitri, "What does magick feel like?" he asked suddenly, finding himself curious of his best friend slash wizard.

Jaime threw the car into gear and began down the road. He would occassionally glance in the rearview mirror, trying to catch a glimpse of Darren, smiling each time he did. He felt so lucky to have Darren in his life once again, and he wasn't going to let anything come between them again.
Dimitri smiled at Derrick's query. "How do you mean? What's it like to cast spells? How it feels to possess it?" he asked curiously.

Darren occasionally caught a glimpse of Jaime, sometimes seeing Jaime glancing back. He grinned, unable to help it when he kept thinking of the fact that Jaime was his again..and in delicious new ways. Before long, they'd arrived at Jaime's house and he parked next to Jaime in the driveway. Out of respect, he'd tried not to listen too much to the conversation going on beside him if it was indeed the sort of bond between them that he suspected..something like his and Jaime's..
Derrick was pleased to see him smile, and he considered the question before replying, "Both...casting and possessing, having magick.." it sounded wonderful, something he'd only ever dreamed of.

Dimitri scratched behind Derrick's ear. "Well, to be honest, it can be both a blessing and a curse," he said. "As you can imagine. But...I suppose it is hard to explain. When you cast, it takes a bit of energy out of you. If the spell is too strong, it can kill you. So it is a dangerous game to play." He noticed that they had stopped, and so he opened the door so Derrick could hop out as Dimitri grabbed Giamonde's box.
Jaime set the parking brake and hopped out of the car. His face lit up when his eyes landed on Darren once more. Walking over to him, he smiled warmly. "Everything go okay?" he asked quietly, keeping the conversation between the two of them.

Derrick smiled doggishly as his ear was scratched, tilting his ear towards Dimitri. At the words though, he seemed to frown. "Isn't it more dangerous then in another form?" As the door was opened, he went down to the floor board before hopping out, landing only to fall on his stomach with an odd little noise before rising back up, stepping back so that Dimitri wouldn't step on him as he got out.
Darren smiled back, reaching his hand and brushing his left hand against Jaime's right, "Splendidly." he said in a fake accent before chuckling, "Except for the part where I kept thinking about you and nearly hitting other cars. That wasn't so splendid." he said playfully, although he was a little serious.

Jaime smiled warmly as Darren spoke. As the other's hand brushed his, he stretched out his fingers and took Darren's hand in his. "I know...I almost ran off the road myself," he said with a wink.
"Well, it was least dangerous in my original form," Dimitri admitted as he picked Derrick up from the ground. "But I have a little less control over things outside of my own body."

Darren held onto Jaime's hand and grinned at the words, "Oh really? How sweet, short stuff is distracted by his amazing lover." He struck a Herculean pose and winked playfully, before leaning forward and pressing a kiss to Jaime's cheek.
Derrick felt himself being picked up and blinked, watching the ground get farther away. He enjoyed being in Dimitri's arms, it was wonderful, but it was a bit disconcerting to know how small he really was. "Oh..and..is there no way to find your original body?"

((hehe...I can't help it...everytime I think of the doggy form of Derrick, I think of Bolt for some reason...lol))
Jaime smiled as Darren kissed him on the cheek. "Alright, well, let's go break the news to Sorcy," he said. He gave Darren's hand a squeeze before turning towards the house.
Dimitri looked down at Derrick. "Well, I had kind of chalked myself up to having lost it," he said. "But...maybe...if I do enough research...just maybe, I can do a location spell."

(YAY! O-o was that a good movie?)
Darren raised a brow at that, "That should be fun. 'Hey Sorcy, guess what! You have another brother! And oh by the way, your father's a turtle!' She'll be thrilled." he said with a grimace as he walked with Jaime into the house.
Derrick nodded before nuzzling against Dimitri's chest, "I'll help you however I can, little buddy." he said with a doggish smile.
Sorcia was in the kitchen with her back against a counter, arms wrapped around Maddix's neck as his were wrapped around her waist as they kissed passionately.

((haven't seen it yet sad Though, my friend said it was really cute))
"And don't forget...'Our new brother is trapped in a dog's body, while some odd wizard of a man inhabits his,'" Jaime added with a chuckle. "She is going to want to know why Derrick is here, and she's a lot more perceptive than you give her credit for." He led Darren into the house as they walked into the kitchen on Sorcia and Maddix. "UGH! Get a room, will ya?" he teased.
Dimitri smiled as Derrick nuzzled him. "Thanks, D. That means more than you can imagine," he said softly before kissing the other's forehead. He followed the others into the house, but hung back a bit as he took in their new surroundings.
