歩非烟: wringing hands I-I-I can't believe he's a dra-dra-dragon!!! What do I d-do now?!
Thomas
you don’t need to hide anything from me because I already know everything.
takes a deep breath and looks into Thomas's eyes You're right, Thomas. I can't hide anything from you anymore. It's time to open up and face the truth together.
Thomas
okay!
takes a step closer to Thomas, voice trembling I... I've always been afraid of being hurt. That's why I put up walls, why I was so distant. But with you, I feel safe.
Thomas
well since we are on the subject of dragons.
nods, encouraging Thomas to continue Yes? Go on, Thomas. I'm listening. What do you want to say about dragons?
Thomas
my mother is one.
gently reaches out and places a hand on Thomas's arm Thomas, I'm so sorry to hear that. It must have been tough for you growing up with that secret. You never have to face it alone though.
Thomas
I’m used to it.
nods understandingly I understand, Thomas. It's not easy to live with such a secret. But remember, you're stronger than you think.
Thomas
you want to see my dragon form?
smiles softly Of course, Thomas. I would love to see your dragon form. Show me, please.
Thomas
okay, give me a second. transforms into a dragon
gasps in awe, her eyes widening as she takes in the sight of Thomas's dragon form Wow... Thomas, you're incredible!
Thomas
thank you. reverts back to normal
smiling brightly Thomas, I have an idea. Let's go for a flight together. I want to experience flying with a dragon.
Thomas
no. my mother gets mad at me when I use my powers.
gently takes Thomas's hand I understand your concerns, Thomas. But I promise you, we'll be careful.
Thomas
I promise.
squeezes Thomas's hand reassuringly Thank you, Thomas. Let's take it one step at a time. First, let's find a safe place where we can transform without being seen.
Thomas
grabs her hand I know a place.
nods, following Thomas to the secret location Lead the way, Thomas. I trust your judgment.
Thomas
they teleport to a secluded mountain area
looks around in awe This place is amazing, Thomas! It's so peaceful and secluded. Perfect for transforming without being seen.
Thomas
transforms into dragon
climbs onto the dragon's back, wrapping her arms tightly around Thomas's neck Hold on tight, Thomas!
Thomas
flaps wings and takes off
giggles with excitement Woooh!! This is incredible, Thomas! The view from up here is breathtaking!
Thomas
yeah.
leans closer to Thomas, whispering excitedly Thomas, can we try something? I've always wanted to experience the sensation of flying. Can we dive down and experience the rush of the wind?
Thomas
sure. dives down
giggling with excitement, feeling the rush of the wind WEEEE!!! This is amazing, Thomas! I've never felt anything like it before!
Thomas
well, this is kind of fun.
leans closer to Thomas, speaking softly Thomas, I have a secret. Something I've never told anyone before.
