[This dragon is always available for quests or a chat.]

Mm.

[a small smile]

Do you want to know what my answer would be?

[not looking at her!! too busy remembering when he was a giant asshole and feeling sad about it]

Of course.

Well, my world was rather dangerous. There were dragons, but not kind and generous ones like you, and gryphons and ogres and sickness. My sister always swore that she would rid the land of these things, but I was too afraid to consider it. But things changed, and I learned that maybe it's something that could be done.

A good deal of my childhood was spent being afraid, but sometimes I think about what it would be like to feel truly safe somewhere down the road. Years from now, mm, with my sister never far away, and with a husband and children of my own. Somewhere I wouldn't have to constantly worry about them all... That's something I would fight for.

[listens]

....That is a noble ambition to strive for. But you do not need this one to tell you that.

What would yours be?

[a very long pause]

'Tis a difficult choice. This one regrets much and desires even more still.

But above all.....to not repeat the folly of the past.

You won't. I know you won't.

[gently:]

This one could, if complacency overtakes vigilance.

But you aren't complacent at all.

Once it was said of this one that my heart would surely never know greed.

If one lives, one can change. That has been this one's hope, but it is a double-edged sword.

You make the people here happy. I'm certain of it.

That is a kind thing to say, and this one thanks you for it.

But whether I am appreciated, or despised, the only one that can carry out my most cherished ambition....is me. This one cannot lose sight of that.

[gently racks brain for what could cheer a dragon up]

...Do you know how to fly?

[sorry you made friends with wally the depression dragon]

Yes.

Do you like to do it?

It is enjoyable. There is simply not much to see in this realm when this one takes to the skies outside of the mountain.

Really? I'd think it would be lovely, what with the castle and the forest and the cove down below.

This one has not flown where the Queen reigns.

It would surely upset those like yourself who dwell there.

I don't think it would! Most people know that you're a good dragon, I think.

....might this one ask a favor?

Yes, of course. What is it?

Inquire as to whether that is true.

...Of course. With who?

Perhaps ask one person from each team to ask the rest....

[sinking a bit into the floor, turning head away

self-conscious!!!!]

If that is too much trouble, this one will stay here.

No, no, of course it isn't too much trouble! I was just wondering who you'd like me to ask. I'll do that, then. But you don't have to stay here if you'd like to travel outside. You've done it before, haven't you?

[petting his scales again]
