A deep sigh left the father as he watched Lloyd play around with the other ninja. Laughter could be heard, seeing dust and dirt kick up just a bit when Cole got closer to distract the half dragon child, allowing Jay time to strike and tackle him, sparks scattering bit by bit from the lightning master's excitement.

"You know.." Wu spoke from behind his older brother, having watched the fond gaze only grow more and more to a saddened memory of tines before. He felt the phantom flick of his ear drag backwards towards his younger brother, turning his gaze towards the long-time master. "..We could pretend like we aren't old and brittle for a few moments." He pointed out, a smile from behind his beard turning a bit.. Mischievous.

The older brother's eyes rbwos flicked up, eye narrowing at the implied suggestion. "You mean show off that we aren't as old and grey as we seem?" He said, earning a chuckle from the younger. They may be dragon, but both still had the mischievous nature of an oni. And it had been a while since they were actually able to be their dragon forms.

As they stared at each other in a mischievous way, their body's shifted and morphed. Before long, Garmadon had himself on all fours, numbs of wings poking from his back as a playful glare towards his younger. Teeth bared, small snarls, and a long tail waved in the air.

Wu dropped his staff down by the tree, hands turning to claws, tail staying on the ground with the tip flickering out of joy. Wings stayed collapsed on his back, soon dropping to all fours.

While Wu was a decently sized, yet long, white and gold dragon, Garmadon was a large, yet short, purple and black dragon. After a few moments of staring at each other, Wu was the first to attack, a high pitched and playful roar leaving him. Very shortly after that, they were wrestling around, claws scratching with the scales, tails hitting and distracting each other, teeth bared, yet never used, and plenty of gloating to go around.
