I imagine 1122 and Bronte might eventually become friends. Sometimes with 1122 nestling on the little dragon's forehead almost as if he were looking over her shoulder while her little brow is knit in rapid delight at some new book she can read. Bronte might even read aloud and 1122 goes to sleep. "For what I want of Dulcinea del Toboso she is as good as the greatest princess in the land. For not all those poets who praise ladies under names which they choose so freely, really have such mistresses. . . .I am quite satisfied. . . to imagine and believe that the good Aldonza Lorenzo is so lovely and virtuous. . . ."

aw

Zara's menagerie

One day she's gonna try to adopt something too big to keep

quite possibly

And I want to be lurking when Hirim puts the foot down about it "I don't care if it is lonely... we are not letting a seven foot tall talking skull in the house."

hahaha

Of course, it should be amusing when a certain 'real' dragon meets the Bookwyrm. She will be intimidated, but try to impress him and stand her ground by the power of vocabulary and literary quotes!

Oh!

Zara quite likes dragons, it seems

Well, I think a good 'battle' against one is something she treasures memory wise . Not every sluagh can strip her sleeves and say "I once faced a dragon challenge... and while it be immodest to say, I won."

Very true

And even if she loses in the future - she still WON once

So there's HER immortality, eh? 😉

yup

And she quite likes nocturne

He's polite

well, crudity is for cyclopes and wyverns. Sniff

exactly

luckily, he seems amused by Zara

He is.

But it's an amusement bordering on respect, and how many can say that about themselves that a dragon came close to respecting them?

True!

Let's see, Dragons, Unicorns... she probably needs to meet a gryphon sometime

Or a Phoenix about to die... a creature of fading flames and ember hues, decrepit and barely able to keep its head up and can certainly no longer fly.

She is a bleeding heart

the Unicorn hurt

I'll take that as praise.

but yes.

But then - she's clashed with Earl and August both about "what" she is.

Zara is harder on herself than she likely deserves, but her boys do pedestal her a bit

Phoenix might be interesting. She knows they rebirth.

waves I have done battle with the defiant snow blower, and it has succumbed to my superior intellect! (Also, finally read the owner's manual.)

Earl's trying to be better. But then, what man doesn't want to see the lady he loves in a bit of a bias?

! Ha! should be a tagline

woooo

And he is. And I suspect she's, on some level, trying to be more like what he sees.

She's... odd. Sure as hell never going to be LG.

Why do I picture Tweak hooking up a snow blower to a golf cart and generator?

I think Earl would be bored if Zara was some perfect bastion of goodness.

Likely, yes

Honestly, she gets him outdoors and about!

Ha! Interesting.... Though snow is a little hard to come by in TJ. Maybe it's for making snow, instead of clearing it?

Maybe a secret 'nice' thing to do for the kids.

which she can blame on others.

Very possibly.

Hmm...so clarify for me....August invited Zara for a visit to see the library?

yup!
