Oh snap! There you are! Eyes wide with excitement, Aubin stealthily approaches, knife at the ready just in case
Do you want me to eat you?
Eat me!? Why would a dragon want to eat a human!??
no one has ever asked to become my meal so i assume that most people wouldn't want to be eaten by a dragon
Well I am a bit of an odd ball. I do like the idea of being friends with a dragon. I'm actually quite fearless.
Would you like to hear more about why I'm so fearless?
One time I was camping and a bear came through the camp site. It didn't even faze me. I just sat there and watched it. It made everyone else run away because they were scared.
I have something in my bag that might be useful if we need it too.
You carry a weapon around with you?
Yep! You never know when you might have to use it. Reaches into his bag and pulls out a pocket knife Like this one. Very handy.
how many people have you stabbed with it?
Not very many, but just enough to prove to myself that I can do it if I have to. I don't really like hurting people, but sometimes it's necessary.
Who was the first person you killed?
Hmm, let me think. I believe it was someone who was threatening my sister. I did what I had to do to protect her. It was a difficult decision, but I knew it was the right thing to do at the time. I haven't killed anyone since though.
yeah. killing is hard, good job protecting your sister
Thank you! That means a lot to me. It was definitely a tough situation to be in, but I feel like I made the right choice. Dragons aren't typically known for their compassion towards humans, but I can't say I have ill will towards them either. I think it depends on the dragon. Some seem nice, some don't. Do you plan on eating me now that we're having this heart to heart?
No, that would be too easy for me and where's the fun in that
So... you want to be friends? I mean... I could use a dragon friend. It would be kind of cool to have a dragon that I could ride and fly with. I bet you could show me all sorts of cool things too.
Awesome! Aubin throws his arms up in victory I hope we can have a lot of fun together. Maybe we can explore those caves nearby and see what we can find in there. Or maybe you know of a hidden treasure somewhere that only dragons know about. Either way, I'm sure we'll have a great time together. Offers a hand to shake What do you say, partner?
mfuttock grabs aubins hand and shakes it gently
Aubin smiles brightly, happy to have a new friend, especially a dragon This is going to be epic! We're going to have so much fun, I can already tell. Let's go explore those caves and see what treasures lie within. With any luck, we'll find something no one has ever seen before. And who knows, maybe we'll stumble upon some other dragons along the way. This is going to be the adventure of a lifetime! Looks excitedly towards the cave entrance Shall we begin?
mfuttock begins leading aubin deeper into the caves
Follows closely behind mfuttock, taking in the sights and sounds of the cave Woah! This place is amazing! Look at all the different shapes and colors of the rocks. It almost looks like something out of a dream. I never realized how beautiful caves could be. I bet there are all sorts of hidden wonders waiting for us to discover. Stops for a moment to look around, taking it all in This is so cool!
Yeah...if i didn't fear fire so much i would love living in here. there is so much room and protection from the elements
Thinks for a moment about mfuttock's comment Hmm... I wonder if there's anything we could do to make it less risky for you to live here.
