I snort as Kimiko’s British accent attempts a Southern accent. I shake my head and wipe the grease off my face with a clean rag before I toss it at Kimiko. [color=#B0C4DE]”I suppose you wouldn’t be after knowing a dragon,”[/color] I state.

I start to clean up the tools I used to work on the bike and put them away. I gather my bag, helmet and gloves again. Now I had to figure out what to do for the afternoon.

I pull back from Nero, and look at them sympathetically. I shake my head. [color=#006400]”Once the branding starts, it has to be completed. To stop would be worse. It would be like ripping a piece of you and me away. Once the bond is in place, though, nothing can pull it apart.”[/color]

With the dragon still close to the surface, hyperaware of Nero --- its mate --- being close, my eyes flash into that of the dragon, and my hands start to itch, wanting the claws to be released again. It was a rather strange feeling, but I didn't feel out of control. If anything, my dragon felt curious and playful.

I smile at Nic once they are back in the car, and I shake my head. [color=#DB7093]”I’m okay, honestly. Let’s go restore a fountain,”[/color] I said and rested my hand on Nic’s knee.
