CHAPTER TEN

Livia took a seat next to Seth. The camp chairs weren’t too uncomfortable. At least not for short stretches of time. But she had to admit Hrardorr had a point about spending the night down here. It would be uncomfortable for the human part of the group. She wasn’t sure how the dragon felt about it, but Hrardorr really had no other choice that to stay here for the night.

It would be much too dangerous to fly out in the storm again, or try to pass the night underwater, only surfacing to breathe now and again. For all his talent in the water, Hrardorr had always been a land-based dragon. He had attributes of his sea dragon heritage, but at heart, he was a land-dweller.

She looked around, now that there was more light, and tried to find ways to make them more comfortable, but there wasn’t much else in the boat house. She’d already scavenged all the sail cloth, so there would be nothing they could really use as bedding for themselves.

“It’s nice and warm in here,” she said, taking off her cloak and spreading it out on several pegs behind her on the wall. Maybe it would dry out enough to use for a small blanket. Then again, maybe she was only drying it out enough to make the trek back up the stairs to the house. Time would tell.

Seth took off his outer gear as well, placing it next to hers. “Heat is a benefit of being around dragons,” he said with a grin. “They carry their furnaces around with them.”

She chuckled at the small joke while Hrardorr let little tendrils of smoke rise toward the rafters from his nostrils. Dragonish amusement she had come to recognize during her association with him.

“True sea dragons can’t flame,” Hrardorr stated in their minds, seeming to want to make conversation. “At least, that’s what I’ve heard. No sea dragon has left the water since my ancestress. Family lore says she never flamed, though she was as fierce in the sky as she was in the water.”

They talked of legends and told stories as the storm raged outside. From time to time, Seth would go out and take a look at the nearby docks, just to make sure none of the other boats had broken loose. Long into the night, the three of them passed the time together, talking as friends.

Livia felt a warmth within her as the night progressed and the storm continued its furor. It was like a magical moment out of time where she caught a glimpse of what it must be like to live among dragons. She liked it. A lot.

Livia couldn’t imagine why so few women wanted to live in the Lair. Hrardorr was both caring and intelligent and had a way with a tale that could rival any bard.

Finally, the weather seemed to break, and the pounding of the rain on the roof lessened considerably. Livia immediately regretted it. She knew her time here, in
