"No need to apologize, my love" Kara explained. "I'm just happy that you're okay, and that you want to help my father. He's fine, trust me. He's taken on greater threats than kobolds before. It's almost routine to him by now."

Aerta ran over to Krakas, no longer seeing her as a worker, but as a friend and ally. 

"Krakas! Are you alright?" The draconess kneeled down next to the female kobold, gently lifting her up. "I'll get you inside. Need anything? Food, water?"

"Oh, please. This isn't going to end well for you or your guards if we fight. I'm not here to kill you, but to talk. If 'your highness' would just hear me out for a minute, we might be able to spare you from the chopping block" Adykon said. "Also, I can't help but to feel responsible for at least a bit of this. You were in my employ when your men went and murdered that farmer. And then went on to conquer this fetid little city. That was bad, but it isn't too late to fix this mess." Adykon stared Rughoi in the eye, hoping very much that he wouldn't have to kill the dracon-kobold hybrid.
