"A large male? I think I've seen a kobold like that, talking to Adykon for a bit. That was much earlier today, though. Haven't seen any kobold like that in hours." Aerta set the food down on one of the tables, the tray barely able to fit on the tabletop. She then sat down on the floor, cross-legged. "So, you're a mother of a grown child? Same here? Several children, in fact. Three of my sons are already married off, while the same can be said for two of my daughters."

The farmer's wife screamed as the kobolds attacked. She fled from the house, still traumatized by the death of her husband. As the couple hadn't had children, the kobold assailants now had free run of the otherwise-empty farmstead. 

"I'm just glad that Larek, Caex, and Veax were able to settle down. I think that's important. Without a family to care for, young male dracons often get more aggressive and violent. I'm glad that kobolds at least are calmer than that."
