Icey gave a slight smile when the dragon said that he would rather eat pizza then do deep thinking. She was the kind of creature who always thought about things. She figured that every thing had a reason for happening . All that they had to do was think about it enough . She could agree with him that if everyone was happy there would not be as much crime in the world. Then there would be a few who would be out of a job though. So maybe crime could be a good things at times. .’’ that is true. Not they certainly would not. ’’ she said with a smile.

It didn't take long, even while talking, for the big dragon to finish off most of the pizza. He left two slices for her and gulped down his drink, smiling. "Heh, you'd probably figure any of that sort of stuff out before me though. I'll be right back, going to get a salad and a refill on the drink. Would you like anything?" Blake sadly had to admit that he was far from the most educated dragon. He had real life experience, he'd been in war, sculpted for kings, visited all sorts of places and done all sorts of things. Except he was still lacking the book smarts you could earn from an education, a normal education at least. Oh sure, he had his diploma and everything, but just barely.

Icey had finished her first piece of pizza. She did not really know if she wanted a second one or not. She did not drink her dink all at one though. She was not all that fast at drinking things though she did drink more then she ate at times. She did not really care that the dragon was not educated . She had met may creatures who were not book smart. They were just as smart using their hand as most were using their minds. When she asked her if she need anything she gave him a slight smile.’’ No I am good thank you . ‘’ she said

Blake had to take a brief detour on his way to get the salad and drink, as two students started raising their voices at one another. The moment he started walking in their direction though they settled down. It wasn't hard to spot a dragon marching on you after all. Once he got back to Icey though his salad plate was close to overflowing and so was his drink. And here he thought it would be a quick lunch, boy was he mistaken. Oh well, better to be well fed and have enough energy to keep working than to need another break.

Icey quietly waited for the dragon to come back. She did hope that they would be able to get the rest of the packing done. She looked around at the lunchroom now. It was starting to get somewhat full in there now. She was not very worried about them though. She smiled slightly as her mind when to what her family might be doing. She figured that they would probly be out somewhere or hosting some kind of event at their home. She pushed the though from her mind as she saw the dragon making his way back. She wiz done eating herself. She did not really mind that the dragon was taking his time. After all, she herself had all day. Maybe the dragon did not though. It would be nice to get the reast done though before too long though.

Fortunately Blake was taking dragon sized bites from his food and making it disappear at a steady pace. "You looked like something was on your mind. Care to share? Maybe it's something I can help with or give advice on?" Drake was the advice expert normally but Blake could usually figure out a way to help if it was something easy. Family matters were typically a bit beyond him and relationships, but otherwise he did have plenty of experience. Bully troubles being the easiest thing for him to hear, considering he'd get some hands on interaction with their problem.

Icey listened as the dragon spoke. Yes she did have something on her mind. She was not quiet sure if the dragon wanted to hear about her family . She smiled and took a sip of her drink.’’ ell I was think about what my parents might have been doing really. ’’ she said with a smile. Icey was always thinking about her parent or her sister. Though at times her sister did kind of scare her. Of the few times she had seen her in prison she seemed like she needed to be there. Icey knew though that she should not think that way though.

Blake smiled. "Well at least you can think about your parents right? And you know they probably think about you a lot too. Ever consider going to visit them or inviting them to the school? I'm sure it could be arranged without much trouble. That is, if you want. Especially after helping me out with all this stuff today I'd be glad to help out." Blake honestly wasn't even one hundred percent certain who both his parents were. Not that it mattered to him, neither of his parents really raised him, "Aunt Rose" did all that.

Icey smiled when the dragon said that she could invite her parents to the school. She could do that but she was not sure if they would really want to or not. They were often very busey with their work and really did not go places unless it was to impress someone or to talk to a worker. That and the fact that they constantly were in and out of court because of her sister. ‘’ well I have thought about it off and on. I just am not sure rather they would have time to visit or not. ’’ she said. She would rather not say anything about her sister. She knew that some would have probly looked down on her if she told them that her sister was in jail.

"Well, if it can be arranged then great. If not I suppose some other time, or perhaps you could get a chance to go and see them. Shouldn't have to be separated from family too much in my opinion. Though that comes from growing up with only my aunt to watch over me, and now having my brother and sister back in my life too." Even if he and his brother didn't always see eye to eye, at least their sister was always around at just the right time to keep things civil. It was amazing how she did that, smaller than both of them and yet tougher than both put together.

Icey nodded at what the dragon said. It would be good if she could get a chance to go and visit her parents sometime. That would probly be easier to arrange then them coming here. She did not really know when she would have the time to really go and visit them. She would have to think about that for a while. She nodded when he said that his aunt raised him. She was glad that both her parents and her little brother were around. She just was not so sure about her sister who mostly stayed in prison. In fact the last stunt her sister had pull involved killing someone. That really scared icey. She forced that thought away and gave a smile to the dragon. ‘’ well maybe they can. If not it would be nice if I could go see them and my brother. Family is important . I do kind of miss my brother …. Though I am not so sure if I fell the same way about my sister.’’ she said . She then realized what she had said. She hoped that the dragon would not ask though. She did not want to say too much on the subject because she did not really want to let something to slip she should not.

"There's always at least one family member that you're not always going to get along with, not always be certain if you want to see or not. Trust me though, in the long run you'll be glad for any time you get to spend with them. No matter what they've done or how much they might not like you, never know when one of you might not be around anymore. Better to make memories than to be left wanting more after they're gone."

Icey could see the dragons point. She did miss her sister it was just the though of what she had done that frightened Icey. After all she did not want to find out first had if her sister was truly as bad as she was said to be. She tried to keep that thought away from her mind though. She really did not want to tell the dragon about her problems. She could just keep them pushed out of her mind so that she did not worry others.’’ That is true. Well it is kind of hard to trust them when you barely know them due to the way they act. ’’ she said. Icey was not liking the way this conversation was going. She tried to find something else to talk about now.

"Ah, but I see family talk isn't what you'd like to chat about. So what would you like to discuss? Anything else? Anything at all that might be on your mind." Blake was surprised nobody ever seemed to ask about anything going on or that had happened at the school. They didn't have a squeaky clean record but a lot of that information probably never really made it out to the public. Who would have believed half of it? And besides, for the moment everything was just fine.

Icey was relived that the dragon could see that she was not comfortable with talking about her family. She had to think for a second before she could say what she wanted to talk about. She did not really pay attion to the rumors that were constantly being told around the school. Some of them were hard for her to belive ,others she could understand.she mostly kept to herself about them . She figured the best way to find out things was to go and see them for yourself .’’Well I really have not thought about much here lately except school work. ’’ she said with a smile.
