Chapter 9

It was a much easier journey to take the yacht out of the estuary than it had been to travel into it, and it was a good thing too, because the only thing we could focus on was what had just happened.

“This is cool!” Dia said for the hundredth time. “I mean, did you see? Her hand was actually starting to grow back.”

“Isn’t this amazing!” Shannon exclaimed. “Think of what this is going to mean for people! The blood can actually grow back missing limbs! This is incredible!”

“I can’t believe it,” Ally gasped.

“She was so happy,” Letty said with the biggest smile on her face. “Did you see her expression? She was so happy.”

“I mean, wouldn’t you be?” Dia said. “It kind of makes me want to cut something off to see if it’ll grow back.”

“Okay.” I held up my hands. “No one cut anything off, alright? At least not without consulting me first.”

“I wonder if it could fix a bad haircut?” Ally mused. “What if you shaved your head, drank the blood, and it made it grow back?”

“Ooh, a dragon blood hair mask!” Letty suggested. “I bet that would be damn luxurious.”

“Apart from the fact that it’s made out of blood,” I pointed out.

“Pff, that’s nothin’,” Letty scoffed. “I’ve put raw eggs in my hair, yogurt in my hair, the stinkiest kind of henna in my hair. Anything to tame that frizz, baby.”

“I’d totally put dragon blood in my hair,” Dia said with a nod. “You don’t understand what it’s like when you have curly hair. It’s a nightmare trying to find the right curl routine. Plus half the shampoos we’ve picked up have been full of sulfates, and I know that’s not doing my curls any good.”

“Sulfates?” I queried with a raised eyebrow.

“It’s okay.” Ally reached over and patted my arm. “You just stick to your five-in-one products.”

“Hey, I’m not averse to a little pampering,” I said with a chuckle. “I’ve been known to moisturize on occasion.”

“Really?” Shannon put her hands on her hips. “You moisturize?”

“Sometimes,” I replied with a jokingly haughty air. “On occasion.”

“Well, color me impressed,” Letty informed me with a grin. “I swear to y’all, guys can rub their faces with sandpaper and still be lookin’ fine, while we out here with our fifteen-step Korean skincare beauty routines looking like undercooked potatoes.”

“I’m a well-cooked potato, thank you very much,” Shannon retorted.

“I had such a great skincare collection back home,” Ally reminisced with a sigh. “I had this twenty-four carat gold face mask, and it made my skin glow like nothing else.”

“Well, next time we find a dragon,” I said. “We’ll harvest some of its blood so you can do a face mask.”

“Don’t you want us to look pretty for you, Drew?” Shannon said with a pout.

“You’re already beautiful,” I told her. “All of you are. And you know it. You don’t need dragon blood to be gorgeous.”

“Thank you, Drew,” Dia said in a grave voice. “That has really boosted my self-esteem.”

“Okay, that came out sounding weird,” I said with a laugh.
