May's pov
Finishing up on another drawing, I smiled at my work. I really liked this one. For the longest time, I'd been a fan of King Kazma and now I finally decided to draw him. Taking a quick picture of it, I uploaded it online. When I had filled out what I needed to do, I shut my laptop and spun in my desk chair for a bit.
"May! Come here sweetheart!" My mum called from downstairs. I pushed myself out of my chair and headed down the stairs where my mum was cooking in the kitchen. She turned to look at me.
"Hello there sweetheart. Dinner's ready" she smiles. I sigh.
"Alright, just give me a minute" I tell her, walking into the bathroom. I take out my needle, pricking my arm to draw blood. I check what the monitor says. Seeing that the numbers are low I sigh. Good thing I'm about to eat. I pack everything away and head back into the kitchen where I get my plate and head back upstairs to my room. I open my laptop up again, looking for any notifications. A private message catches my attention. I click on it, letting it load up while I eat some of my dinner. I nearly choke on my own food when I see who its from. King Kazma. I read over the message.
"I saw the drawing you made. It was very nice" I read aloud. I nearly scream from happiness, just barely holding it in. This was amazing. I'd never been messaged by someone that I'd drawn before. My hands hover over the keyboard as I try to think of what to say.
'Thanks. I'm a big fan so I really wanted to draw your avatar' I decide finally, sending the message. When the message is sent, I go back to eating my dinner, ignoring any popups I get on my oz account. When I do look back at my laptop, I have another message from King Kazma. I respond again. Our messages go back and forth until it gets late and I have to sign off. I say goodbye before shutting my laptop and changing into my pj's. I then proceed to flop down on my bed, removing my hearing aids and wrapping myself up in my blankets, falling asleep pretty quickly.

Kazuma's pov
I woke up, staying in my bed with my head buried in the cushion. I stayed in place for a few minutes before sitting up. I picked up my phone and checked my oz account. While on Oz I looked at the account of Mayrex. They weren't online and there was no new messages from them since last night. I get up and go downstairs to get some breakfast. My mum greats me as I walk past and I great her in return. I pour myself some cereal before walking back up to my room and logging onto my computer to do some more fights like I usually did. I compete in a few fights, winning all of them before a notification pops up. Mayrex. It was a simple
'Hi'. I open the chat and respond with a
'Hey' before doing another fight. In the middle of the fight another notification pops up. I finish the fight before looking at the message.
'Hope I'm not interrupting anything important'
'No your fine. I can talk' I reply before starting another fight.
'Oh that's good. Glad I'm not interrupting' they respond. I finish the final match before focusing my full attention on the chat.
'You not doing anything right now I'm guessing' I pointed out. Mayrex responded relatively fast.
'No, not really. Haven't got anything on for the day so I'm stuck in the house for a while. Might go ride on my horse for a while later. Its always fun to ride on Storm' they replies. I was surprised by that.
'You have a horse?'
'Oh. Right. I never mentioned that. Yeah, I do. He's a beautiful boy. Maybe I'll send a picture one day' I laugh. Mayrex has quite the personality, even online.
'I'm sure he really is lovely. Never actually seen a horse in person'
'You've never seen a horse. You wound me' I laugh even harder at how dramatic that message was.
'Just kidding. Still surprised though. I love horses. Well. I love all animals but I have Storm and my dog Barley'
'Sounds like you've got quite the job there' I reply.
'Gotta go. Have to do feed my animals' 'Alright. Talk later'

I swung my leg over Storm's back, using the stir up to jump to the ground. Storm shook his head, stomping his feet.
"Come on then. You can have some time in the field" I lead him to the gate, removing his saddle. I open the gate and let him run into the field, closing the gate behind him.
"May" I turn. Mum had come from one of the other fields, Barley circling her feet.
"Yeah?"
"Make sure the horses are put back in their pens. It's supposed to rain later" she explains.
"Need help getting the sheep indoors too?" I ask.
"No. Barley did a good job of that himself" she assures, bending down and petting Barley who barks happily, tail wagging. I bend over and call him over. He turns to me and bounds across the ground, jumping into my arms and licking my face. I laugh, falling backwards onto the ground.
"Barley no" mum scolded him. He looks at her with drropy ears.
"It's fine. He's just giving me affection" I assure mum, placing Barley's front paws and getting to my feet.
"Still, don't forget to bring the horses in at 6. And be sure to feed them too. I'm going in to town to get some shopping and give some of our produce. I'll bring something home for dinner so there's no need to cook anything" she explains. I nod. She turns around and walks to the car. Barley bounds after her although she has to stop him and send him back to me. I call him over. He pricks his ears and runs towards me, circling around me.
"Come on boy. We should head inside now" I encourage, picking up the saddle and rains which I placed in their usual spot. Once inside I took off my riding boots and helmet, placing them at the door before walking into the house. I walk up the stairs and into my room. I drop myself into my desk chair and spin around before focusing on my work. I had a half finished drawing sitting on my desk. I should really get that finished. I opened my oz messages and went to my messages with Kazma. I stared at them for a second. Then an idea sprung to mind. I typed up my message and clicked send.
"I'm home alone. Wanna come over" I laughed at the message before putting my phone down. I picked up my pencil and looked at the drawing I had been working on. Wait. What was I planning on doing next. Was it a tail? Or a wing. I looked on my laptop at the reference photos I had up and still couldn't figure out what I was had been drawing. I bite on the end of my pencil, staring at the paper when my laptop dings. I look up. I have a message in my inbox. I open it up and have a look.
"Sure. Just give me an address" I laugh, slipping down in my chair. I hadn't expected him to go along with it.
"Yeah. No. I'm not allowed to give out my address" I send the message then turn back to my art. I guess a tail would work. Lizard tail's were what I searched so I guess that's what I'm drawing. I draw the two lines that connect before my laptop dings again.
"Yeah"
"Anyway, any games or contests you enjoy participating in?" I type up my answer.
"Only art based ones. I don't think I could fight against any of the other people who fight often. Plus it would be way to stress inducing and exciting all at once" I turn back to my paper, leaning lightly as I draw a scale pattern across the paper. Another ding.
"Shame. It would have been fun to play with you"
"Like I said, not my ball park. Maybe one day I might be able to give it a try but not now" His end is quiet so I just go back to drawing scales. My laptop didn't go off again so I was mostly uninterrupted aside from a few false alarms from Barley for the rest of the day.
