I just get this feeling like you have something against me. When all I ever did was hatch for you. Rhinusleth was walking alongside Luisa on their way back to the barracks in the late afternoon, his head tilted ever so slightly one way as he regarded her. He kept his tail aloft just ever so slightly, too good for the end to be dragging in the dirt. The shadows of impending dusk fell over his form, making him look more like a shark shrouded in the deep water.
"You were going to bite me." Luisa reminded the blue with a glance at him. "After you mauled three other people. What I don't like is bullies. If you behave, I like you just fine." she stated matter-of-factly. "And you're only mad at me now because I didn't let you stuff yourself until you blew chunks. Sometimes you have to trust that I know what's best for us both, instead of you deciding." She brushed a stray bit of dust from her skirt, not breaking her stride.
I don't think I was going to bite you. Maybe just a nip to test your mettle. After all, I don't need no minnow hanging near me. The blue snorted softly. My brothers and sisters are all little fish, I needed to make sure you weren't, too. The blue made no attempt to communicate privately. If any of the other dragonets were around, he wanted them to know their place beneath him.
