Chapter Fifty-Six

The sight of the big blue dragon being crawled all over by multiple dragonettes nearly made Sophia double over with laughter. The sun in Scotland set around ten at night in the summer months, giving them many more hours of sunlight. It sort of made up for the short days in the winter.

She drew in a breath, enjoying the summer air as she made her way out to the Expanse, where Lunis was wrangling three dragonettes of various colors.

Seriously, when I was your age, I respected my elders, he said, his neck extending out as he picked up one of the dragonettes by the scruff of its neck like a momma cat retrieving one of her kittens.

Sophia giggled as he rotated to find her staring up at him. “When you say, when you were their age, do you mean last year?”

I dun nhaw whhhat ya mmeeen, he denied, talking with the little dragon trying to wiggle loose from his mouth.

“Spit that out so I can hear you,” she ordered, pointing to the dragonette busy kicking its leg back and forth, trying to wiggle loose.

Spitth whath outh? Lunis asked. He looked ready to take a big gulp and swallow the little guy whole.

Sophia stuck her hands on her hips and shook her head, trying to suppress her laughter. “Seriously, you’re supposed to be managing them, not eating the dragonettes.”

Lunis dropped the small dragon, who landed with a squeak followed by a plume of smoke. The three he was taking on the world tour were about the size of Great Danes. Sophia fondly remembered when Lunis had been that size and could still sleep at the foot of her bed. It seemed like ages ago, but really it hadn’t been long. It was just that so much had happened since then. Lunis had grown at an unprecedented rate according to Mahkah, since he had magnetized to his rider early.

I’m babysitting, Lunis argued. That’s what Hiker has me doing.

“That’s not true.” She held up her hand, stroking his neck. “Hiker thinks you have the best personality for this mission. On top of that, he knows you can protect the dragonettes if anything were to happen.”

Lunis scoffed. I’m not worried about a bunch of mortals.

“They have guns and usually act irrationally because of that false confidence,” Sophia argued.

Still, he said, but didn’t follow up with another point. I could see how my winning personality could grant me this honored position. The dragon smiled, showing a toothy grin of razor-sharp teeth.

Sophia peeled back. “Don’t do that when on tour. They may think you’re trying to decide who to eat first.”

I think I have a nice smile, he stated smugly.

“No doubt,” Sophia agreed. “But dragons aren’t really known for smiling. It seems weird.”

The dragonette Lunis had dropped was currently chasing his tail and close to catching it. The pair watched for a moment before returning to their conversation.

Dragons aren’t known for much, actually, Lunis imparted.

“Which is why this tour is important,” Sophia told him. “I think it was a good idea on Hiker’s part.
