(Angus, The Dragon)
"I... have not," the Dragon said with an effort.? "I have no... appetite... at the moment."? His neck drooped until it rested on his massive paws, but he managed to turn his head slightly towards Mikayla.? "If... you are hungry... I can have... Angus... prepare something."
The Dragon seemed to lose focus, his expression going blank as his words became mutterings.? "the one... worked... read the... but... hurts... hurts so much... can't..."? He then fell silent for a long moment, his scaly side heaving unevenly with labored breathing.
Then he seemed to recover a bit, his eyes moving around the chamber and then refocusing on Mikayla once again.? "Oh. Welcome back."? He tried to push himself upright, but barely managed to lift his head a couple of feet.? "I thought you...? had..." ?
The Dragon's head fell roughly back onto his paws and he went silent.
Angus came into the chamber to stand beside Mikayla.? "I fear he is still weakened from his ordeal, Mistress Mikayla.? But as hard as it may be to believe, his condition is much improved over what it was when you left."
?- Mikayla
Mikayla nodded at Angus¡¯s words. ¡°Can you please bring me a pail of hot water, a washcloth and the book.¡± She said to Angus as she moved to come to sit beside the Dragon on the edge of the dais.
She reached out to stroke his head. Softly, yet kindly. ¡°I have returned please forgive me for taking my leave so quickly. It appears I got my panties in a snit and needed Angus to talk some sense into me. Thanks heaven he did,¡± she said continuing to run her soft gentle hand over his head and body.
¡°I am going to give you a warm bath and then you and I will break our fast together. How does that sound?¡± She said cheerily.
¡°And when you are up to it, we will talk. But for now, Angus and I will take great care of you.¡±
