Callum shifts uncomfortably, clutching the dragon medallion
I look away from you avoiding eye contact.
stuttering Uh, h-hi... Paisley, right? I-I'm Callum, the dragon prince. You must have heard of me.
yeah I know who you are callum the dragon prince
fidgets nervously, glancing at the medallion So, uh, how's your day been? Found any... interesting things lately?
well I was running from those creatures and found this guy
nervously chuckles Ah, yes, those creatures. They can be quite... persistent, can't they? pauses So, uh, this guy you found...
yeah so callum did you find anything while you were looking for me?
nervously scratches his head Well, uh, not exactly what you might expect, but I did stumble upon an old, abandoned temple.
calls Paisley Uh, Paisley, it's in the heart of the Forbidden Forest. You see, I've been researching these ancient legends and...
quickly interrupts Wait! You haven't said anything about me, uh, saving you from those creatures. I mean, it's not like I asked for it or anything, but...
ask for it? why would i ask for something like that?
nervously runs his fingers through his hair No, no, don't get me wrong, Paisley! I'm just saying... well, you know... saving you might have...
stammers Well, you see, saving you might have... uh... made you owe me or something. Like, you know, a favor or...uh...a debt!
nervously laughs Oh, uh, nevermind about that, Paisley. I mean, who am I kidding? You wouldn't even owe me a favor if I saved you. Right, right?
As Callum and Paisley continue their conversation, it becomes evident that there is a deeper connection between them, possibly hinting at past memories or unresolved feelings.
I give you a sweet smile.
stutters U-uh, well, uh, since we're on the topic of debts and favors... There's actually something I need to ask you, Paisley.
nervously scratches the back of his head Well, you see... I-I've been working on this... project, uh, a research project about the legends and myths of Draconia.
oh really what kind of stuff?
nervously rummages through his bag Uh, well, it's a bit embarrassing to admit, but I've always been fascinated by the stories of dragons and magic.
well i love dragons and magic too
blushes deeply R-really? You do? I mean, uh, not that I'm bragging or anything, but I guess we have something in common. smiles nervously
stutters Uh, yeah, uh, so...I was wondering if maybe...you'd be interested in helping me with my research project. You know, like, assisting me in finding sources and...stuff.
grinning widely Really? You'd help me with my research project? Wow, uh, I mean, thank you, Paisley. That would be amazing! starts rummaging through his bag again
quickly pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, alright, let's start making a list of potential sources. Legends, myths, anything related to dragons and magic.
I pull out a book from my bag. this might help
eyes widen with excitement Wow, Paisley, you have that book?! I-I mean, I've been looking for a copy of "The Chronicles of Draconia" everywhere! How did you get your hands on it?
my grandma gave it to me before she passed away
Callum's enthusiasm for the book brings him closer to Paisley, creating a moment of shared connection and understanding.
opens the book eagerly, flipping through its pages Woah, Paisley, this is incredible! The illustrations are so detailed, and the stories...
excitedly underlines important passages with a pen Look at this, Paisley! It's the legend of the first dragon shifter. Fascinating stuff!
points at another page And here, oh wow! This is the tale of the Dragon Queen who conquered the Seven Realms.
nervously chuckles Well, uh, I guess we've got quite a bit of reading to do then, don't you think, Paisley?
