::pops out from behind a rocky outcropping and begins to scratch the dragon's eye ridges soothingly::Shh, it's all right, they won't stay long. ::turns a frowning eye towards the visitor::Why do you disturb him? Oh, is that so? He doesn't like to talk about his past much, so don't expect much. Yes, yes, I know he looks big and tough now but that physical state was forced upon him. No, he didn't eat the twisted excuse for a...::clears her throat and stops herself from a rant::..mage...who did it to him. He would have liked to, but..revenge does not heal the soul. YES he has a soul you..! Sheesh.. Dragons are much more emotionally intense creatures than humans so hush up! Don't EVER speak like that in front of him again! So what if I'm protective?? Rengral deserves caring, and not just to make up for his losses. Yes, his name is Rengral, why? It's not just a *good* name, it's *his* name. Now could you please leave off this questioning? Of *course* I adopted him, look..here's his certificate... I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude but I'd rather he not be upset any further. Apology accepted. Okay, okay, any other questions? Yes, he is a sweetie at heart, you just have to be patient, okay? And calm, and slow, there..that's better...smile at him...not too much...hold out a hand... Wow! He must really like you! No! Not because you haven't been fried yet!! He sniffed your hand, you know, like a cat does, that shows he's willing to learn more about you. No, not right now, give him time. Maybe another day. Good, we'll see you later then.
