"Well, I don't know about that. My father and brothers can take a lot more pain that I can, but maybe we can test it out later. When we're done shopping, maybe we can practice sparring a bit" Aura said. Realizing that this was unusual for dracon females and that she hadn't mentioned it before, she quickly added "my father taught me about self-defense. Don't worry: I'll cuddle you if you are hurt" she said that with a smile, knowing she had little chance of hurting such a large male, even by accident. Not that she would even try to, given her love for him. Still, she wasn't afraid to spar with him. 

Aura suppressed a shudder when she thought about humans giving live birth. Dracon egg-laying was quick and mostly painless, and entailed no crying, little if any blood, and absolutely no screaming, kicking infants.
