Chameleon means "earth lion" in Greek

tails part 3

If a chameleon is sitting with a curled tail, it may be stressed or worried. When chameleons are relaxed, they typically have a straight tail. A chameleon will often curl its tail to show aggression. Some chameleons will even curl and uncurl their tail to continually communicate their aggression.

Vector gave a big yawn as he welcomed the day 

even though he'd taken a pit stop downstairs for a snack he fell back to sleep almost instantly 

and now he was wide awake and happy to get some more food in his stomach

at least 

that was his plan 

as he walked downstairs he noticed that he wasn't the only one awake 

Espio was sitting directly in front of the wall where the stairs ended 

and by the look on his face

he did not look happy 

vector noticed that his tail seemed to tightly curl and uncurl a little less in a pattern 

kinda like Morse code patterned way 

"..uh, hey esp...you seemed ticked," Vector said sheepishly, trying to ignore the sharp golden eyes that seemed they could slice his skin with more ease than his kunai 

"Why shouldn't I be, after you just messed up our house in a simple night" Espio stated with a growl, leading him to the kitchen 

Vector simply blinked 

the kitchen was a little messy 

mayonnaise and butter did make its way on the walls 

and some cucumber slices and lettuce did get on the floor 

and he did leave some ham out forgetting to put it back 

but was that seriously the real reason why he looked like he did something so drastically evil? 

vectors confused and seemingly not caring face seemed apparent as this seemed to make the chameleon even more ticked 

"seriously! I clean up constantly and you can't be bothered to just do it once while I've gone to sleep?" Espio asked angrily 

"I get cravings in the middle of the night" Vector simply stated, as if it was a good excuse 

"oh my chaos vector, you are such a child!" Espio growled placing a hand into his face 

"excuse me?! remind me who's the only adult here" Vector questioned, feeling a little anger raise in himself 

"I honestly don't know at this moment" Espio replied with crossing his arms 

"Oh my chaos esp, have you ever acted like your age, you're literally 16! even knuckles know how to have more fun, and we all know his situation!" Vector ranted before an idea seemed to form in his head 

"you know what, you're having a day of" Vector stated as he went to the phone 

"excuse-" Espio began before vector selected contact and began to ring 

"hey sonic, it's a vector, listen are you free?" Vector began as the person on the other line picked up 

"vector!" Espio continued to question, his voice no longer seems to hold the same anger, but more confusion and suspicion with a tinge of worry 

"great, so espio's in desperate need of social interaction with kids his own age, so I was wondering if he'd be able to come over" Vector added 

"VECTOR!" Espio yelled in shock and embarrassment, instantly going for the phone only for the crock to hold it higher and away
