"Speaking of multiple..", the leopard thoughtfully muttered before slinging his pack over his shoulder as they walked along. It only took a quick rummaging before he pulled out a pair of items - a small pouch and a clear container with a leaf within. A discerning eye scanned the dew-soaked leaf for a moment. Looked in good quality still.
"This little leaf supposedly aids in that", Xentus said with a grin as he looked over to Jack once again, "The more young, the better the odds of a Greater dragon, yes?" Part of him was rather pleased to come prepared, even if there were no guarantees granted. Most of why he did anything was because he wanted to see what happened. While he had the other pouch out, he supposed he'd pass over the contents; opening it up to hand over one of the strange roots within to Jack.
"One of these for Zech there", he said as he pointed with his eyes to the large dragonoak, then addressed his own pet, "And the other for Tuuli." The bright blue creature curiously sniffed at the offered 'treat' before taking it into its claws.

Oh how could she have forgotten about the roots? She about smacked herself on the head, but figured it would worry Xentus too much, and she didn't want to do that at all. Smiling broadly, she accepted it and handed it over to Zech, who popped it into his mouth and chewed thoughtfully. He knew what these were for, but it surprised him he was doing this again so soon. He was in high demand, it would seem, due to his Greater size, but was that the only thing? Looking down at the Fluttering with the special wings, he tried a smile and creaked at her a little, hoping she wasn't scared of him.
Jack was happy with things, and when she saw the leaf as well, she perked up, "Oh that's a fantastic idea! The more offspring, the better the chances of them being bigger, exactly. Hopefully we can get at least one of them, I'll have my fingers crossed when we're waiting for the babies!" The building was just ahead, and she went forward to open the big doors for her Dragon Oak, and Xentus with his own.

Tuuli took her time nibbling on the treat given to her. It smelled funny, making her snout wrinkle. Her curious eyes peered up to Zech, watching just in time as the large dragon downed the relatively small morsel in a single go. That was.. Impressive, somehow. The little dragonoak attempted to follow suit, munching on the root with newfound inspiration, returning with her own gentle croak. Perhaps even with his size, the large dragon wasn't too terribly intimidating after all. Feeling invigorated, Tuuli fluttered-hopped after the leopard's lead into the building.
"This one is quite hopeful", the man hummed as he gave a nod of thanks upon entering, "It is always exciting to bring new life and seeing what form they might take." Big or small, he was just looking forward to having a couple of new dragons around the garden. Tuuli was released from her harness and allowed to freely roam while the leopard took up a spot on a bench to watch over her.

"Oh definitely. I love breeding animals and seeing what we can get from them. Genetics is interesting, it's always strange seeing what you can get from different parents," she said with a little smile as she took a seat next to her friend with a thump. Zech glanced over at her but simply shook his head and looked back at the little Fluttering for a bit. She was pretty, he had to give her that much, and he was thrilled they could be together for a little while. She didn't quite look like the one back at the garden, but that one did have the same wings.
Leaning down a little, he nudged at her as gently as he could, hoping he wasn't too rough, he'd had complaints before and he certainly didn't want to hurt her in any way. He was a gentle giant, certainly, and he rumbled happily, as though asking if she was happy to meet him, as happy as he was to meet her.

"Quite! Pachee seem the most exciting in that regard", Xentus chimed thoughtfully, "Though, this one is looking to breed houluh soon enough. Now those pups are a genetic marvel." He almost let himself get lost in thought, but quickly reeled himself back, remembering his inexperience, "Ah but this one has a lot to learn about their husbandry before he is ready for that." He could still count his breeding ventures on a single hand.. Though this one might tip him over to a second hand.
Tuuli squeaked at the nudge, nuzzling back at the large dragon with the tip of her snout. He was so big up close like this! But decidedly not scary. Kind of.. Comforting, actually, seeing that the giant could have a soft touch. The fluttering dragonoak crooned softly in reply, a shy but happy noise emanating from her as she looked over the giant. She fanned out her large, leafed wings out to show them off, tail wavering slowly. She might not have had a lot in size, but she was impressive in her own way!

"Too true! Pachee really make it fascinating. Though if you manage to get some Houluh grown, please don't hesitate to contact me, I love breeding them and growing them. Any questions you have, feel free to ask as well, it's a great practice to get into. Sadly my own Kennel has kind of permeated the breeding pool a little thanks to my... excitement. So I understand if you don't want to inject mine into yours," Jack admitted with a bit of a wince, Luna had been bred four times and it was hard to find a pup who wasn't related to her at this point. It would thin out a little with more people breeding first generation Houluh though.
Zech flicked his own wings with a smile and nodded, he agreed, she was impressive! He loved her wings and gently moved so he could reach out and hopefully lightly touch one of her wings, he wanted to see how they felt.

Hmm, I wonder what sort of wings they'll have when they finally unfold...
