No pressure.

An egg-dropping dragon nesting in the warehouse, a fried body due to be delivered, and emergency response less than two hours from my doorstep.

But no pressure.

I sprinkled a few pinches of Himalayan salt into the potion with a shaking hand. A few weeks ago, I’d stashed some basic supplies at the funeral home, but nothing fancy. At least I was saved from using table salt. Iodine wasn’t always a great addition to a potion.

“An egg? Why would she drop an egg here? Now? Today?” I stirred the concoction with a big metal spoon Ben had found in the tiny break room. When it started to froth, I slowed my frantic churning to a more reasonable speed. Who knew what overstimulated dragon saliva would do? It could be flammable when agitated too strongly. “You’d think she’d find a safer place. And how can there be an egg when there aren’t any boy dragons running around?”

“I knew I shouldn’t have told you,” Ben muttered. I shot him a peeved look, and he said, “Anything I can do to help?”

“Not that I wouldn’t have mentioned the last four times you asked.”

“Right. And while I don’t know how dragon procreation works, chickens can lay infertile eggs. Maybe it won’t hatch?”

“That’s a terrible thought. Unless she’s not treating it like a proper egg?”

Ben shook his head. “It’s back in the corner on a pile of shredded cardboard boxes, so she’s got a nest going. That’s why we didn’t see it at first, because it’s in a dark corner and she was in front of it.”

Right, so maybe it would hatch. A baby dragon. A baby Marge dragon. It would be so incredibly cute, all purply, blue, and green.

“You cannot have a baby dragon as a pet.”

I looked up from the potion. “Not a clue what you’re talking about. Besides, it’s not like dragons are pets.”

“You sure? You have that look you get when you cuddle puppies.”

He knew me so well. Time for a quick topic change or we’d be wandering down the kid path again.

“I just need to heat this for a few minutes and then we should be good. I don’t suppose you want to test it out?” I waggled my eyebrows at him. “Even out those speckles on your face?”

“Since I know what’s in that concoction, I’m gonna pass. But I can run out and test the nearest strip of charred grass.”

I transferred enough of the potion to almost fill the original beaker then held it over a small Bunsen burner, swishing it gently. “You can take this batch out in a sec. If it works, we’ll fill up two spray bottles and drench the marks with whatever we’ve got. Maybe more potion will make it work faster.”

Ben glanced at the clock. “We’ve got about an hour and a half. You think the dilute version will take longer than the pure stuff?”

“Yeah, that’s usually how it works, unfortunately. I’m giving it a little extra push of magic, but I don’t know if that will speed up the process.
