Chapter 14

I’d been food shopping for a camp before, and the current feeling was like that, only with some more adrenaline flowing. It was also now just like the calm before a storm – no matter what, we needed to get rid of this guy, but an entire werewolf pack could be fended off by him alone and now he had help…

“Hey,” Gavin put his hand on my shoulder, “it’s going to be–”

“Watch it!” the dragon said.

I blinked. “Ohhhh right… “

“What do you mean, oh right?” he protested.

“How did we miss that?” I said, looking around. Luckily this store didn’t have many people looking at us.

“Under my shirt now,” I said, hoping no one noticed I was wearing a dragon around my neck.

“I guess you forgot about the weight – after the illusion wore off, you didn’t notice him?” Silvia said. She quickly untied a sweater Gavin had given her and put it around my shoulders.

“If you put that up, he should be hidden and a bit warmer,” Gavin said, also seemingly shaken about the almost exposing the magical world casually thing.

“This thing is very soft, what kind of clothing is it?” the dragon asked.

“Oh boy, here we go again,” I said, looking around.

“If you’re quiet and make a mental note of your questions, you’ll get a doggy treat, I mean mass-produced bones and bacon bits.”

“Fine,” the dragon said, thankfully missing the part where I said doggy treats.

I sighed. With that little spike of panic, I was thoroughly exhausted with today’s events.

“You fed him,” Silvia said, looking up at me.

“What? I thought it’d be good for a growing dragon, and it’s not like I had access to medical kibble.”

“But there was medical kibble. That’s pretty much all there is in the cupboards of the house,” Silvia said, blinking.

I stammered, unable to come up with a comeback. “Silvia, can you go see if they have some good white bread?” Gavin asked.

Silvia nodded and walked off. Once she was out of earshot, Gavin turned to me. “While we have some money, now would be an excellent time to get her a birthday gift. Any ideas?” Gavin asked.

“You think of this now?” I blinked, trying to remember when her birthday was. It was always hard for me to remember dates, but I felt like it was close.

“It’s a little bit before her actual birthday, and I haven’t really had the money for it recently,” Gavin said.

“Okay, okay… She hasn’t really done that much alchemy since I started to learn, so glassware is a last resort. She’s obviously got sweaters and hoodies under control. How’s her sock situation?”

“I am not getting her socks – that’s for Christmas,” Gavin said. Despite how offended it should have sounded, he managed to say it softly enough to convey his care.

“So, with her duties, she probably hasn’t had time to look into hobbies – maybe a hobby starter kit could be good? Allow her to see if she likes it?”

“I guess that could work?” Gavin asked, shrugging.

“That’s an option.
