"...Or something similar," The dragon master muttered, apparently embarrassed.
He's blushing. How...Cute? No, not that word... Quaint? Hmm, Quaint also doesn't seem appropriate...
Fun.
There. Narcissistic. Mean. Cruel. That is I, the shit-stirrer.
"Mayyyyybe," I sang, feeding a spoon of honeydew-vanilla ice cream to Cyanide.
I have discovered that my dragon loves ice cream.
What fun we'll have when he's able to transform!
Just think of all the things we'll be able to get away with!
Oh, right. This isn't what I should be thinking about.
"Why is it a, 'mayyyyybe'?" WhateverThe[Author]Namedthisguy asked, aggrieved.
"Because I don't know you," I answered honestly.
"Maybe when I get to know you better, but right now, your a stranger."
"A stranger..."
"Yes, a stranger, which is by definition, a person with whom one is not familiar with. To quote...someone; Stranger Danger." I said flippantly, playing with my fork. "Understand, Ranger Dan?"
"That...is a strange nickname. I honestly prefer the other ones."
"Eh, it rhymed." I shrugged and handed Cyanide a cupcake.
What? It's fineeee! He's a dragon! They're...sturdier! Made of stronger, magical stuff than us humans.
...Am I even human?
A question to ponder later.
Later, brian.
"So not friends?"
"No."
"But strangers? Surely, we're more than that, what with knowing each other's names!"
"...Fine. More than strangers, less than acquaintances. Happy?"
"No."
"Too bad. Compromise, remember?"
"Exactly, Compromise. Acquaintances, at least."
"Maybe tomorrow."
"You are so difficult! Ugh!" After saying that DALE gets up in a huff, causing his chair to screech, loudly, and stormed out of the dining hall.
"...He's temperamental, huh?" I ask the lovely and behaving baby blue dragon next to me.
He blew me a small flame.
How cute.
