A Missing Friend

    The young black dragon shakes his head while replies. "Young miss, it seems you have too little faith in me. Us dragons simply like to see our place above or below others in our different talents, and I intended to challenge her tomorrow anyway. Starting with flight, then onto the others. Therefore whether you accept or deny makes little difference except maybe to your guest."

    *Sigh. Ai Lan shakes her head back and forth slowly as she thinks to herself. 'While he has certainly gotten gotten better at talking with a silver tongue, and being polite, it seems xiaolong has yet to learn to hide his intentions which is good I guess. At least it means he will not be manipulating us for a while.'

    Having finished her thoughts, she answers. "I will ask, but the final descision will be left up to her alright?"
