[There's actually no text included in this post other than what's seen in the 'map' Ryoga's drawn.

He's attempted to draw a map of his ship and has fortunately neglected to add his name to it. This isn't to say that he won't respond to taunting and jeering! He doesn't even know this isn't private.]

[The baby raptors find Ryoga before Codi does, and will probably give away that she's about to peer over his shoulder to look at what he's drawing.]

What'cha doing?

[Admittedly, Ryoga only really locks himself into a staring contest with them before Codi suddenly appears.

He jumps, despite years of presence training.]

Gah! Why are you sneaking around like that!?

[maskedtyrant]

[Codi gives him a dubious look on the same level as his apparent alarm, although he does manage to send the raptors scattering.]

I dunno--curious, I guess. [Without warning, her hand reaches over to poke at the crude picture in his open journal.] What's that? Are you making up an island or something? Is that a big tree in the middle of it?

[manlionpig]

[Springing like an alley cat, Ryoga did the world's most casual tuck and flip move, landing on top of a barrel with his map clutched to his chest.]

It doesn't matter what it is! You're just gonna make fun of it!

[maskedtyrant]

[How...okay, not going to ask. Ryoga is an odd bird and Codi isn't sure she wants to know how or why he does half the things he ends up doing.]

Now why would I do that? [The very picture of innocence, this one.] You're not embarrassed about it, are you?

[manlionpig]

Everyone's already done that!

[Well, two people.]

So, I don't need to hear it from you, either!

[maskedtyrant]

So touchy! [Codi scowls in mock annoyance.] And here I was, going to compliment you on your artistic finesse! I guess I'll take my appreciation elsewhere.

[manlionpig]

Yeah, that's the same sarcastic thing the other guy said. Can't you guys be original when you're poking fun at people?

[maskedtyrant]

[Codi giggles loudly.]

Why on earth are you so convinced that I'm trying to make fun of you? [She folds her arms but is entirely too entertained to keep the smile off her face.] Don't tell me this is how you treat every pretty girl that tries to flatter you.

[Ryoga stared at Codi awhile, confused. He had to go over what she said over and over in his head a few times before it all sunk in.

Then, he turned his head and stared at the first door he could find. Immediately, he walked through it and shut the door behind himself.

It was a broom closet.]
