"Oh, my Hunter does well enough."

A smile "Judging by t he company in this room? I'd go as far as to say I've done wonderfully."

Another soft little chuff.

Bronte speaks up "Although a skillful flatterer is a most delightful companion if you have him all to yourself, his taste becomes very doubtful when he takes to complimenting other people.     
Charles Dickens"

"Smart dragon."

" best I save myself for one then" Earl smiles

The laptops have been childproofed/bronte proofed, and that seems to have cut down on the recent bout of memes from the young dragonling

Good thing. Miriam nearly lost it when she tried to shoo Bronte out of the kitchen only for the dragoning to go 'okay boomer'

Followed by a rant that Miriam is NOT a boomer, anyways!

Didn't stop the dragon from looking like she'd scored some point

Earl nearly laughed at that... but he chose to live

But the memes seem to have been replaced with dickens quotes.. and that's just fine

ABSOLUTELY fine.

A happy set up as socks are sewn, and new paintings started where a holy man fights against the dark... oh a grand work both will be

(Happy End scene)
