Chapter Eleven

An hour later, she sat with the knights at the table, trying to catch her breath from laughing as she explained Flappy’s adornments.

“And what is this thing called?” Lord Violet asked as he held a neon green loop up, eyeing it as if he expected it to explode.

“A ponytail holder. It’s elastic. They have a great number of uses,” she said, pulling another one out of her backpack and demonstrating how stretchy it was. Unfortunately, it slipped from her grasp and flew across the table, hitting him square in the chest before falling into his lap.

Flappy’s laughter was audible to Elaina in their mental link, and audible to everyone else as high-pitched nurking squeaks. Stereo laughter was something that would take some time to get used to.

Sorry, Elaina. I will get better at not just barging into your head. I was just remembering what happened earlier and couldn’t help myself.

It’s okay. We’ll both get used to it. Just remember boundaries.

Gotcha. Outta hear—I mean here!

The only clue that he was no longer present was the sudden dimming of a twinkle in the back of her mind that had appeared there when he’d first begun speaking to her. It wasn’t painful or even distracting, just…there.

She looked up, and everyone was staring at her. Lord Violet wasn’t smiling, but she thought she caught the hint of a grin in the slight curl of his lips. There was also understanding in his eyes. “Adjusting well? I imagine the telepathic communication must’ve come as a surprise to you.”

“Yes, just gonna take time, I suppose. It’s nice to be able to communicate directly with him now.”

Lord Violet gestured to the dragon sitting next to him, her concession to the fact that Flappy was growing up and clearly looked upon Lord Violet as a mentor, and said, “How did all of this…festoonment…come about?”

“We were in the big pool, and I was teaching him how to hold his breath and swim underwater. He can hold his breath for a long time, by the way. When he came up, he said his head and his face was really itching. I thought maybe the minerals in the water were irritating his…” She gestured to her face. “He had a lot…going on in that area, so I thought I’d just blot his face off a little bit. That only made the flaking, scaling, molting, thingy situation worse.”

Several of the knights chuckled at her description, but it was true. His face had gotten all freaky looking and then a whole layer of something…skin? Scales? Bristles? Thankfully, he’d thought her reaction was funny, and when he began laughing, spikes had started showing through the layers of detritus as they came away.

“He jumped back in the water, and when he came up for air—” She pointed at Flappy’s rather handsome dragon face. “Voila!”

Violet looked as amused at the rest at her description of Flappy’s antics. “I’m well versed in the molting process and told him what to expect, but the elastics?”

“Well, here’s the thing.
