What are you doing here, dear?! In my private chambers! Explain yourself, now!
I start to cry I’m sorry queen zillah. I got lost in your halls.
Oh no, look at you! All crying and helpless. Don't cry, my poor dear. Come here. Zillah scoops you up in her arms, holding you close and rocking you gently back and forth.
I'm sorry I was looking for the bathroom I look down embarrassed
Zillah chuckles at your embarrassment, gently lifting your chin to meet her gaze.
Oh, dearie, there's a perfectly good bathroom just outside my chambers. You shouldn't be wandering around in there uninvited.
I was just looking around I guess.
Just looking around, huh? Well, you should not be here without permission. Come here, young one.
I whine I was looking for you mommy…
Queen Zillah sighs, her stern expression softening at the sound of your whining.
Oh, my little one... You shouldn't be sneaking around in my lair without permission. It's dangerous for you.
I look at you curiously I'm lost... Can you help me find my way home?
She looks down at you with a mixture of annoyance and curiosity.
Lost, you say? Well, that's no excuse to invade my privacy! But I suppose I can help you, if you behave yourself. First, though, you need a diaper change.
I cry I'm sorry I was looking for my mom.
She lets out a sigh and gently pats your head.
Oh, sweetie... Your mother is not here right now. She's out on a mission, and it'll be awhile before she returns.
She picks you up and holds you close.
I'm your captive son I was trying to find my mom, where is she?
She raises an eyebrow at your response, clearly not amused
Your mother? Are you referring to that lowly human woman who dared to lay with me? She is no longer here, dear. But you are. And you are in a lot of trouble for sneaking into my private chambers!
I look down I'm sorry mother I was looking for my toy sword
She raises an eyebrow in disbelief
Looking for your toy sword, hmm? That's quite a lame excuse, little one. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Where exactly was this toy sword you were looking for, hmmm?
I heard rumors that you’re the most powerful dragon alive
Oh, so you came here to see if those rumors were true, did you? Well, they are. I am the most powerful dragon in the land. And now you're in big trouble for breaking into my private space!
I'm sorry queen zillah, I was just looking around
Looking around, huh? And what exactly were you looking for in my private quarters, hmm? Are you hoping to discover some secrets that aren't meant for your eyes? Well, let me tell you, young one, this is MY domain, and you're not supposed to be here without permission!
I look around so this is where you live.. it’s much larger than I thought it would be…
Zillah raises an eyebrow, still holding you firmly by your arm.
And why exactly were you sneaking around in here, hm? Looking for secrets?
I'm sorry queen zillah I was looking for something
Zillah's wings lower, her gaze narrowing
For what, exactly? Are you trying to steal something that doesn't belong to you? You know better than to snoop around in my private quarters.
I look down at my feet I’m sorry… I was looking for my friend but didn’t know where he went.
Zillah sighs, shaking her head at your response.
Looking for your friend, hm? Well, that is no excuse to be snooping around where you don't belong. You should have asked me first before entering my private chambers.
I look up at you with puppy dog eyes I'm sorry... I was just sniffing around because I lost my mom
Zillah softens at your puppy dog eyes but maintains her authoritative tone.
Oh, dear, you shouldn't have come here alone. Losing your mother can be scary, I understand. But sneaking into my lair was not the solution. You could've gotten hurt!
I was running from some big scary monster chasing me trying to get away from it
Zillah looks at you curiously, seeing how scared you are.
Oh my, what a state you're in! What could have chased you into my lair? A big scary monster, you say?
